have been received by the Federal Re-
serve Board from scores OF State banks
and trust companies throughout the
country that they will enter the Federal

fled their intention OF joining the sys-
tenn If the amendments pass. Tho

ported. and their passage appears
likely. Hundreds of smaller banks have
indicated they Will follow the large
institutions into the system. In Ar
kansas alone. ii is said. virtually every
one OF the $50 State banks is ready to
join.
The largest State banks and trust

cisco. Detroit, Milwaukee. Atlanta,
Seattle. Spokane and Portland, Ore.
Less than nifty State banks and trus.
