CURB UPON CREDIT
LOOMS AT CAPITOL

Sponsor Restrictive
Legislation.
ry the Associated Press.

Eyfthe Associated Press.
Administration leaders at the Capitol
are quietly studying suggestions for
legislation at the extra session on the
credit situation, emphasized recently by
; efforts of the Federal Reserve Board to
check the flow Of money into Specula-
!, tive channels.
There have been many indications of
an early discussion of this subject, both
: by Senate and House, but after confer
ences at the Treasury and in admin
istration circles generally, Republican
leaders are merely watching and
The Reserve Board seems destined to
be a major subject of congressional dis
cussions. There are some ready to CEN
sure it for statements admonishing
member banks to curtail loans to
s brokers and dealers. There are others
prepared to assail the board for not
taking this step sooner.
Z Senator Glass of Virginia, former
Democratic Secretary of the Treasury
and one of the authors of the Federal
Reserve act, believes the board should
have acted before.
Senator La Follete, Republican, Of
Wisconsin, introduced a resolution,
more than a year ago, asking the board
to admonish member banks against in
creae IN the tremendou amount of loan
to brokers and dealers. The Senate
banking committee reported favorably
upon. the resolution, but it was never
acted upon.
Both Senators are ready to tackle
the complex problem of amending the
Federal Reerve act, in an effort to
1egalize greater restriction on reserve
funds likely to get into speculation, but
neither. is willing to undertake the task
at the extra session unless there is as
Surance that the House banking COM
mittee will be organized and that both
branches win be in a position to take
action.
Senator King. Democrat, of Utah,
plans to propose both an investigation
of the credit situation and legislation
aimed at forbidding use of Federal Re-
serve funds for marginal transactions
on stock exchanges, and Senator Brook
hart, Republican, of Iowa, is prepared
to sponsor measures just as drastic as
those proposed by Senator King.
