Besides the Grosser Kurfuerst, others

Changes Advocated

Washington, october 15.--Changes in
the administration currency bill that
would give lower interest rates to the
people of the newer states of the west,
were advocated in the Senate bank
ing and currency committee today.
Senators Hitchcock. democrat, and
Weeks, republican. insisted that all
sections of the new country should en-
joy the same rates of rediscount under
the federal reserve bank plan They
conceded that such system undoubt-
edly would bring down interest rates in
western states where money is now
earning low rates. Both senators in
sisted, however. that all parts of the
country We're entitled TO equal benefit
under the new currency law. The bill
as ii passed the House would permit
the federal reserve board to fix diff
ferent rates in the different reserve
districts
