 As soon as the directors are con firmed by the Senate they will estab- basis and indicat6ns are that 1t will be ready to make loans within two or three weeks.
 At the same time the President nom mated seven members of the new cap ital issues committee, which will re- place the federal reserve board capital issues committed in exercising vol untary regulation of securities issues of more than $1,ooo,ooo.
 The finance corporation directors, nominated by the President, are: W. F. c. Harding, governor of the fed- eral reserve board; Allen B. Forbes. New York private banker and securi- ties dealer. member of the present capital issues committees advisory sub committed; Eugene Meyer. Jr..
