Endorsement OF the District COM

all new banking institutions IN the
District shall have the approval OF
the COMPTROLLER of the Currency De-
fore opening.
CONGRESSMAN Frank Millspaugh. OF

that would otherwise be considered

In the promotion of corporations
there were instances, Mllispausi II

The purpose of the law. 1t was
explained, is not to narrow or re-
strict the competition, nor TO pre-
vent reliable or responsible persons
possessing the required skill and
knowledge from entering the banking
field in the District in competition
with the local institutions, but to
place the entire banking situation in
the city of Washington more com
pletely under the supervision of a
responsible public official who is
clothed with the authority 10 guard

On the floor of the House, the bill
was amended to embrace the estab-

bill will now have TO go into con-
ference on account Of the amend
ment, but it is expected the Senate
committee will readily agree to the
bill as passed by the House.
