BRANCH BANKING AGAIN PUT BEFORE
 FEDE RAJ RESERVE
Old Controversy Is Revived When CalifornianS Confer
 With The Board

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-The fed eral reserve board was asked today to announce a definite policy with respect to branch banking, bringing ir to the open again the old contro- versy over whether the practice should be authorized. A delegation or Californians, representing views in favor of and against limitation of the branches any bank may estab- fish, was before the board, but five-hour discussion netted no tan gible results. While members of the board said logical arguments had been presented in behalf of each claim, they admitted they were no nearer conclusion than they had been before listening to the discus sions.
 From time to time representatives Of the small and country banks have urged enunciation of federal poll- ey on the question, the claim being advanced that strong banks were en- gagged progressively in absorbing smaller banks with the result that the small bank with limited re- sources was slowly but surely be- ing squeezed out Against this con- tention the argument was renewed today that the banks able to main tain branches were likewise able to carry sufficient funds, making loans available in any amount at any time. This condition, it was assert ed, reacted in favor of the agricul- tIral industry at present because many smaller banking houses have reached almost their loaning limit
 In the particular controversy be- fore the board the so-called tnde- pendent bankers of California en- tered charges against several banks located in Los Angeles and San Francisco, asserting that those insti- tutions were gradually gaining con- trol of many country banks. Agents of the small banks contended that such a condition could not go on without the independents" being forced out of business.
 There are at present no appliea53 ea5 tions for approval of projected branch banks pending before the board. It recently has rejected sew erai such applications by Los An geles and San Francisco banks. but reports were current that other ap- rIcations were in preparation ana so, according to members of the delegation an agreement was reached to come to Washington and fight it out" before the reserve board.

Editor of Open Forum:

First wish to commend the Press for giving to
the citizens of Ell Centre opportunity to express
themselves through the "Open Forum a subject of
such vital interest to them Some of the needs of El
Centre better place in which to live apparent
to the casual observer.
To one who has lived here for time, the crying
need to be amusements of various kinds for
young people. 1t is problem. The solution calls for
suggestions from people and these suggestions
should lead to definite plan. A community CEN
ter where the young people are free to go for good
times with little expense would be step in the
right direction place for young people to meet for
dancing and games under well ordered supervision.
To what better money be put than protecting
and safeguarding young people? IT the money
spent the border every week used to provide
something to entertain young people at home we
could do it on luxurious scale and be money ahead.
Also if the good respected citizens of this town would
set the example by staying this side of the border
and their influence to have closed then truly
could look forward to Ell Centre being much better
place in which to establish home and bring fam
lily.
