Washington, September 24.-The anti i-money hoarding campaign launched by Secretary McAdoo against national banks, particularly those which have received federal crop moving money or which have taken out emergency currency, was broad ened today to take in state institu- tions. McAdoo sent telegram to superintendent of banking in each state announcing the restriction of credits by national banks and the high interest rates charged and appealing for all available information regarding state banks and trust companies. He declared that if banks will be persuaded to use resources intelli- gently the present situation will be greatly relieved. This was the secretary's second move today in the campaign. Later he made public statement in which he announced that if the state of Tennessee continues to find bankers unwilling to renew a q, 400 GOO loan he. himself. will take up the task of finding banks which win make such loans
 It was understood that a list of banks which are pilng up reserves or hoarding money will be made public tomorrow and that, as announced last night, the prac- tice will be kept up as long as there is occasion for it.
 Telegraphs Banks
 MT. McAdoo's telegram j to the state banking superintendents follows:
 Reports now being received by the comptroller of the currency from national banks throughout the country indicate that a money scarcity is being occasioned in large measure because of the hoarding of funds by many national banks, which are carrying reserve, in some cases two or three times as great as required by law, and also that credits are being re- stricted and excessive rates of interest are being charged to customers. There Is at this time more currency in the coun- try than at any time in it's previous his- tory, there having been issued through the treasury department since August more than ssO0, 600 of additional na- tional bank currency, which, together with the relaxation in business, should create an abundance of loanable funds. This department will withdraw govern ment deposits from banks found to be hoarding money and charging excessive rates of interest and will redeposit them
