CENTRAL BANK MEETS
WITH OPPOSITION
Administration Supporters on the Sen
ate Banking Committee Favor
Reserve Bank System

Washington, D. c., Oct. 2S.-The SEN
ate banking committee confined itself
today to deciding whether a single
central or a reserve bank system
should be the basis of the bill.
Attention was centered on senators
OGorman, Reed and Hitchcock who,
throughout the hearings, had opposed
the administration plan Administra-
ton supporters brought opposition to
the central bank plan Without sena-
tor Hitchcock's vote, however, the
committee would be tied.

Professor jeremiah jerks, Of Yale
university, was called before the senate
banking committee yesterday
Professor Jenks's plan cOntemplateS
the establishment of a central federal
bank under the control and manage
ment of government officials with
branches established in various parts
Of the country With this organiza-
ton to take the place of the y region
al banks proposed in the administra-
ton plan, the jerks plan follows closely
the Glass-Owen measure in working
out the details.
The committee discussed with the
witness a possible amendment which
would maintain the regional bank form
proposed by the administration bill but
which would eliminate the control of
the regional Institutions by the banks.
Such a plan would insure government
control of the entire system as con-
templated in a regional bank plan and
would maintain the local character
of the institution which is advanced
as an argument for maintaining the
regional plan. In this connection the
committee discussed briefly the open
ing of the stock of the regional banks
to public subscription or providing
capitalization of banks by the govern
ment in order to Obviate forcing the
banks to subscribe.
Members of the committee said that
they expected executive consideration
of the bill would not be further de-
layed by hearings except as experts are
called in to pass on proposed amend
