gresham T. Frank Appleby made
his maiden speech in the House of
Representatives when he was called
upon to defend his bill, II. r. 5749,
amending the Act of December %,
1918. known as the Federal Reserve
Act. 1t was a trying hour for the
new member from the third district,
as Chairman McFadden of the COM
mittee on banking and currency
which reported the bill, requested
him to take charge of the same on
the floor. and the opponents of the
bill. in an effort to defeat its pas
sage, threw the proceedings into a
parliamentary tangle.
But Congressman Appleby. to the
surprise of his colleagues, as it was
a most confusing position for a new
member, never once lost his head
but had control of the situation at
all times. and came through with
flying colors. as he not only piloted
the bill through the parliamentary
maze in which it was involved. but
succeeded finally in passing it with a
rousing majority to the applause of
not only the Republican side, but
many of the Democrats as. well.
III. r. 5749 was similar to Senate
No. Sc, introduced by Senator Edge,
which had already passed the en-
ate, and to compass it's passage. in
the final stage of the proceedings,
Mr.. Appleby was compelled to move
the discharge of the committee from
further consideration of senate Sc,
and pass it as a substitute for his
