tee on banking and currency until De-
cember 0. This was determined yester-
day at an executive session of the COM
mittee. The committee will endeavor

inquiry dealing with the operations of
stock exchanges and clearing house as
sOciations. Without additional powers
conferred by Congress 1t will be unable to
complete the inquiry into the .'concen-
tration of money and credits
An amendment to the banking law,
which has passed the House and is now
before the Senate, would give the cem-
mittee the power to obtain direct informa-
ton. which it deems indispensable. from
the national banks. An attempt to OBJ
tain this information from the controller
Of the currency has SO far been unsuc-
cessful.
notwithstanding these embarrass-
ments,'' said Chairman Pujo. in state
ment today, "the committee proposes to
press forward with the taking of testi-
money as rapidly as possible. It should
be clearly understood that no comprehen-
sive inquiry can be completed until all
doubt as to the power Of the committee
to secure the data that 1t requires has
been removed by the legislation for which
