side won. but as the valiant victors did
not name their team no one knows who

lures of this part of the program was
the gallant struggle that Otto Larsen

| race. r. L. Steele and Mr.. Larsen ran
| neck and neck for yard after yard;
then Mr.. Larsen looked back. presum-
ably to see who was behind him. This

Unfortunate runner stumbled, balanced,
and then fell. causing several abra-
Sions on his hands and elbows. Mean
| while Mr.. Steele hit the tape and car

tenn of hundreds Of branch banks con-
trolled by two or three leading na-
tional. groups. He condemned the
California system, under which s-ate
banks are permitted to operate as
many as seventy branches, and urged
the necessity for federal statute
clarifying the present situation as
regards national banks.
Declaring he was unable to deter
mine the exact status or the ques-
tion from the recent ruling or the
federal Department of Justice, Which
authorized agencies defined by KEEP
resentative Wingo, member or the
committee, as financial comfort sta
tion," Mr. Rathje urged the commit
tee to clear up this uncertainty by
early enactment of a regulatory law.
Committee members indicated the
question would be suggested for con-
sideration of the banking and cur.
rency committees of both houses OF
Congress.
Raps Par Clearance Method.
H. j. Mortensen, representing the
Wisconsin Bankers Association.
recommended that many of the smail-
er state banks of his territory might
be brought into the federal system
by the abolition of the par clearance
system, under which all remlttanceS
through outlying banks are cleared
at par without charge. This arrange
ment, the witness said, was costihS
country banks relatively large
amounts, and was, therefore, an In
fiuence against their adhering to the
federal agency.
Gov. James B. McDougal of the
Seventh Reserve Bank questioned the
validity of the argument, inasmuch,
he said, as the reserve system now
performs large part of the transpor-
tation service which formerly was
paid for by the individual banks out
of their exchange receipts.
Reserve System Praised.
E. H. Wolcott, banking commits
sioner Of Indiana, told the committee
he believed the federal reserve sys-
tenn to be the most wonderful finan-
cial institution ever created and ad-
vised against additional legislation
which might impair the efficiency Of
the system. State banks not already
