IMPORTANT STEP BY RESERVE BOARD Regulates Purchase of Bank
 ers' Acceptances
CAREFULLY PREPARED
Weeks Spent in Preparing for Step. Dealings in Acceptances Heretofore Confined to State and Private
 Banks and Trust Companies

Washington, Fbruary 12.-Another ste,, in the development of American finance designed to bring it more in accord with that of other nations, was taken by the federal reserve board today when it is- sued regulations governing the discount or purchase of bankers acceptances
 The federal reserve act authorized na- tional banks to purchase acceptances ba sed on the importation or exportation of goods and the boards regulations ind!- cate how banks may avail themselves of the aid of the federal reserve banks in securing the rediscount of such papers and lay down the lines by which the reserve banks themselves will be guided in purchases of acceptances in the open market.
 Before the federal reserve act wal passed domestic dealings in acceptances were confined to state banks. trust com panies and private banks. How far Amer ican banks now may proceed in taking away from London a share of this busi- ''S"e' n SoHsiucIdOie part or Wnlcn IS done with South America, officials here do not now pretend to know.
 Prefer Banks Paper
 Although under today's regulations the reserve banks are not barred from out right purchases of acceptances the board indicates present preference for dis count of such paper offered by member or other banks.
 The board announces that acceptances must be payable in dollars, in the Uni ted States" a step toward making the dollar at least one of the mediums of international exchange.
 Weeks have been spent by the board in preparing the resolution and many conferences have been held with the ad- visory council, some of the governors of the federal reserve banks and the fed eral reserve agents.
 The acceptance is still in its infancy in the field of American banking" the board says in circular. How rapid It's de- velopment will be cannot be foretold bu, the development itself is certain. Oppor- tunity is given by the federal reserve aci

aid correspondent today that he had not made any selections and indicated that he would not do so for several days Fur thermore. he said he did not know whom
 he would name on these committees.
 The duties of each of the committees
 will be arduous. The judiciary commit
 tee will have under consideration all
 questions relating to court reform, as
 well as the question of redistricting the
 state
 The committee on finance will have the task of devsing a new revenue system, and it's labors will probably be moro arduous than those of the other two com mittees.
 Finally, the Investigating committee will look into departmental affairs, with a view to suggesting retrenchment, reor- ganization and a general improvement in management. This committee is expect ed to devote much time to an investi- gation of the convict department scandal.
