Revised Draft of Glass Bill in
Hands of House
Members.

Copies of the revised draft Of the
Glass currency bill, containing amend
ments adopted late yesterday by demo
Gratis of the House currency committee,
were in circulation about the Capitol to-
day, and were the subject of careful
scrutiny by friends and opponents Of the
Presidents currency reform plan.
An amendment adopted by the House
committee democrats. making the federal
reserve board to a partial extent BIZ
partisan. by having the appofntive men,
bers divided between political parties, is
expected to allay somewhat opposition
based on fear OF political control of the
proposed new currency system.
ANTAGONISTS of the Glass bill expect to
direct their chief attack, in next Mon
days democratic caucus. toward secur-
ing amendments to establish an ''agri-
eutTfa wseaf and cotton
Friends of the currency measure have
urged that this proposed legislation be
considered later and not as part of the
general currency reform plan

Gratis voting against 1t were Representa-
tives Medley Of Kansas. Eagle Of Texas

sentative Winso of Arkansas stated he
would fight for amendments to the meas
ure when 1t went before the caucus.
Representative Medley objected to an
amendment authorizing national banks
to organize and operate savings banks
and trust departments.
This is a new provision" he said, lex
ceedngly radical in the changes and tends
to Capitalization Of power to a high de-
gree. 1t should not be adopted without
deep consideration
An attempt will be made to have the
coming caucus thrown open to the public.
