.WARbURG WINS
OVER MAJORITY
After Senate Committee Grill
ing His Confirmation Sure
ly Expected.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-That a
majority of the members of the Sem
ate banking and currency committee
would sign a report favoring the con-
firmation of Paul M. Warburg as a
member of the Federal Reserve
Board was certain when the hearing
of Mr. Warburg was completed yes
terday.
Including nearly three hours of
grilling Mr. Warburg was on the
stand a total of seven hours before
the committee, at the conclusion OF
which large majority, it was stated,
had been won over to him.
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
who as acting chairman in the abb
sence of Senator Owen, virtually led
the fight against the confirmation of
Thomas d. Jones, will vote, it was
learned, for the confirmation of War
burg. The attitude of Senator Reed,
Jones's other Democratic opponent
on the committee, is still uncertain.
A prominent Democratic member
of the committee stated that he did
not believe single Democrat would
oppose Warburg's confirmation,
either in the committee or on the
floor of the Senate later.
In order to get the Federal Reserve
Board in operation at the earliest
possible moment to handle the stu
alton arising from the European
crisis, the President today will send
to the Senate the nomination of the
one vacancy on the board, the White
House announced.
