BRANCH BANKING

Heads of Financial Institu-

National Convention.
BY the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 1.-The
branch banking problem and the eues-
ton Of seeking Federal legislation which
would permit national banks to operate
In wider fields appeared to be the prin-
cipal issues before the convention OF the
American Bankers Association here
today as delegates settled down fer the
initial session of the main body.
Both problems were discussed ct
group meetings yesterday. The plight
of the national banks in the new era
Of mergers was set forth by George H.
Hamilton Of Wichita. Kans., in an ad-
dress before the national bank division
of the association. which afterward
adopted a resolution asking Congress
to modify Federal laws to permit ma
tional banks to merge under more ia
vorable conditions.
Hamilton Outlines Position.
Hamilton declared that because banks
operating under Federal regulations
were unable to merge as advantageOusly
as those under State charters, they
were surrendering their national char
tiers In large numbers. thus tending to
undermine the Federal Reserve system.
He recommended legislation that would
definitely allow national banks to ac-

Edgar H. Sensenich of Portland,
Greg, president of the national bank
division. recommended that national
of all banks, possibly through
the Federal Reserve system, be con-
sidered.
The position of the Federal Govern
naent on this question is expected to be
disclosed tomorrow in an address by
J. w. Pole, controller Of the currency.

the national bank division of the asso-

Because we are going through rapid
changes" he said, the division Is re-
luctant to adopt at this time any pro-
gram to deal with present problems,
fearing that in a very short time 1t
would not fit the situation"
IT would not like to have you feel
that the national banking system of
this country is decaying. cannot be-
lieve that the foundation of the Fed

made the worlds first flight in a rocket
propelled plane, successfully covering q
distance of IL miles at an altitude of
az feet.
Won Opel's machine made its land
ing as we'll as its take-off by means of
rockets. some of which acted as brakes
and brought him safely to the ground.
The airman suffered a minor accident
before his successful flight. The hair
on the back of his head was burnt of
in two failures to rise.
The rocket machine Is called the
Sander Rak One, being named after
It's constructor, the engineer Friedrich
Wilhelm Sander Of Wesermuende. It
weighs about $50 pounds, plus Q weight
of Ito pounds in rockets. 1t has q wing
spread of 40 feet.
Won Opel's first two failures yester-
day were attributed to the failure of
the batteries to ignite the rockets.
AS result of Won Opel's successful
flight 1t is asserted that catapult con-
trivances like those ON the new North
German Lloyd liner Bremen soon will
be outclassed by q much lighter rocket
apparatus.
Won Opel made his tests today with
powder rockets, but expects to adopt q
new liquid fuel invented by Sander.
