BANK BILL CHANGE
URGED IN SENATE
Committee Is Told House
View on Measure Is
Narrow.

Revision of the McFadden banking
bill as passed by the House, in order
Co modify or eliminate entirely a
section prescribing certain conditions
for discount of paper by national
banks, was considered yesterday by the
Senate banking committee after SEN
ator Glass, Democrat, Virginia, a
former Secretary of the Treasury,
had told the committee that the pres
ent language of the section was
ambiguous. Senator Pepper. Repub-
lican, Pennsylvania. indicated he
would submit an amendment Strik-
ing out the section.
Protests by California bankers
against the enactment of the McFad-
den bill were made before the Senate
committee by former Senator Frank
B. Flint, representing banks engaged
in branch banking in the State, and
John S. Drum, president of the Mer-
camille Trust Co, San Francisco.
Flint said the House had taken "a
narrow view" of branch banking, and
he urged that the whole subject be
reopened and fully discussed. If the
bill is passed he said, California
bankers will be prohibited from en-
Eaging in a form of business which
they were assured, when they Joined
the Federal Reserve System, would be
legal
Senator Pepper pointed out that the
bill has been before Congress for
longer than a year, and that there
had been opportunity during that
time for California bankers to pre-
sent their position.
Flint characterized the McFadden
bill s the most important banking
legislation since the enactment of the
Federal reserve act. 1t would, he
held, produce a serious situation for
California Federal Reserve Banks,
which might be forced to withdraw
from the system.
Flint urged some plan whereby
branch banks could act in California
without interference of Congress.
California banking laws were the
equal of any State; vast enterprises,
farm and fruit crops were financed
without calling upon the East. and
there We're fewer failures. he said.

with the Bishop of Dallas last year,
man that the rector and prelate had
made peace.
Much OF the money given by Eastern
modernists to the Heaton defense was
diverted to help build a new 100000

Worth, and the bishop has accepted the
property. Bishop Moore visited the
church December 81, his first visitation
for a year. and confirmed 29 candidates.
Bishop Moore threatened to try Mr..
Heaton for heresy, but subsequently

TELLS FLOOD PROBLEM
Californian Talks of Imperial Val
ley. at Lions Club Luncheon.

Flood problems confronting resi-

fornia. were explained TO members Of
the Lions Club Wednesday afternoon
AT their luncheon meeting in the VIII
lard Hotel by Elmer W. Head, valley
resident, who has been interesting
himself in the recent congressional
hearings on the Boulder Canyon dam
project.
The proposed dam. which would
solve flood and irrigation problems,
he said. would be 90 feet higher than
the Washington Monument. In re
Spouse to queries he denied that the
Japanese settlers would reap any
special benefits from the dam, de-
cIaring that California laws prevent
Japanese from owning land.
