Washington, Dec. 26.-The compost
ton of the new federal reserve board
which will exercise general supervision
over the new banking and currency
system is going to be watched with
hawk-like eyes in the senate. It will
be watched keenly in plenty Of other
quarters, for that matter, but in most
OF those quarters there viii be little
chance to have any weight with respect
to determining the character Of mon
to go on the board.
Many members of the senate are
fearful lest politics creep into the new
system. Hence the early appointments
to the reserve board and all
other appointments soon to be made
having relation to the new monetary
system VIII be scrutinixed with unusual
care.
Politics to 30 Barred.
If there is what appears to be any
effort to fill the board with politicians
or men who owe their places to the in
fiuence of politics rather than merit,
senators now declare they will never
get thru the senate. Republican sena-

putting any men on that body to give
political reward

country seeking these federal reserve
board positions and that they are
reaching out for the support OF this
influential parsonage and that has

who feel the system should be abso-
lutely free from politics much I'M
easiness.
For instance, the mention Of Rolla
Wells, Of ST. Louis. treasurer OF the
democratic national committee for
eight years, and the report Secretary
Bryan is friendly to his aspirations.
has caused much pricking up OF ears
among the members Of the senate. or
some Of them who are watching the
situation. This is merely one instance
in which there is talk Of political IN
fiuence being utilized to get place on
the board.
Senate Can Reject.
Theoretically. the senate can turn
down the appointments Of the presi-
dent to this board II 1t wants to. II
the president sends along the name OF
some unfit man for the board. the SEN

A lot Of talk Is heard that the men
put on the new board must be OF as
high standing as II they were to go on
the supreme court. Senators say they
will insist that they be Of such high
standing. but If the usual course with
respect to combinations il taken. the
names the president sends in will be
