Maryland Delegation
To Strive for Branch

At a meeting of MARYLAND Senators
and Congressman today 1t was decided
that the delegation shall line up solidly
in the attempt to obtain a reversal Of
the decision of the reserve bank organi-
zation committee which did not give
Baltimore a regional reserve bank.
The delegation met in the office OF
Senator John Walter Smith. who acted
as chairman of the meeting. 1t was
arranged to have a joint conference
among the Maryland legislators and
the Baltimore regional bank commit
tee of which Waldo Newcomer is
chairman. This conference will be held
next week. At this conference line
for procedure for an appeal from the
decision of the organization committee
which favored Richmond, Va. will be
mapped out.
Senator Smith asserted today that
Baltimore has a strong case as against
Richmond. and in taking an appeal we
believe We have the facts on our side"
Members of the Congressional dele
cation took the view today that the
local Baltimore committee should be
consulted before the appeal is taken,
but there was enthusiastic response to
the suggestion that a reconsideration
OF the oranization committees action
ought to be asked. This appeal will
be made to the Federal reserve beard.
