WASHINGTON. Dec. iz.-How far the
federal reserve banks shall go for the
present in exercising the function OF
clearing house associations was discussed
today by the governors OF the banks and
the Federal Reserve board.
Although 10 marked difference OF opin-
ion exists between the governors and the
board, It was pointed out that many OF
the bis banks In clearing house associa,-
tons IN large cities were not anxious 70
zee this function exercised by the reserve
banks
On the other hand. some members of
the board iosist that one Of the ends
aimed at IN the reserve act was free
clearances through reserve banks and
that the debates increasing showed that II
was the evident purpose 10 break up
alleged domination by the comparatively
few moE In control Of the clearing house
associations over the smaller banks.
II was decided today. however. that for
the Lsesent the reserve banks shall only
clear checks OF member banks IN Their
particular districts. The question OF
clearanoes fer outside banks was turned
over TO committee OF five governors
which win report to the board next
month
