At Night Session Conference Adopts
 Amendment Making the Number Of
 Regional Banks Optional With the Reserve Board.

Washington, Nov 29 Subjected to an allday wraugle in the conference of democratic senators today the ad- ministration currency bill progressed slowly in it's preparation for final con. sideration on the floor of the senate.
 Practically no change was made in the administration draft of the bill as prepared by Senator Owen and the Hive administration senators of the banking and currency committee dur ing the day. bat for several hours the conference discussed a technical iu- depreciation of the provision of the bil relating to the retiring of uho new currency to be issued Senator Reed of Missouri criticised the word ing of the section
 The democratic program for day and night sessions of the senate un- til the bill is disposed of probably will be delayed until the conference con- cludes it's work next Tuesday or Wed- nesday The principle upon which the committee split the public own- egship and government control of the regional reserve banks. was not brought before the conference and the administration plan for regional banks capitalized by enforced sub scriptions of the banks and controlled by bank selected directors was en- dorsed. It was provided however. that the federal reserve board should [ have the power to remove all direc- tors of the regional banks.
 The conference passed over the pro- vision of the bill fixing the number of regional banks Al the instance of the conference, democrats of the Icurrency committee are framing a guarantee of bank deposits provision which may be written into the bill
 Late tonight the conference adopt ed an amendment to the Owen bill which would permit the federal re- serve board to establish any number of regional reserve banks considered necessary between the limits of eight and twelve.

The army shipwrights watched the
