SENATE AND HOUSE
 SET FOR DISPUTE
Organization of Committees May
 Prcipitate Sharp Fight

Washington.

 Taking advantage Of their more stringent rules. however, house lead CTS will organize only the three com mutees necessary 10 put through the program of President Hoover for farm relief and tariff revision.
 In this situation lies the prospect of a battle between the senate and house as well as contest between rhe parties. if the senate attempts 10 put through other legislation. or If the democrats seek additional meas ures.
 Republican lea aders in the senate realize the impossihllity Of checking the flood of bills and resolutions, but despite the organization Of the com 1IllIptS they al AVbiltltAh N1l N4t'i being no great demand for consid- eration Of the legislation unless the house shows q disposition 10 open the way for them.
 Nevertheless. the necessary or ganization of committees ln the sen ate permits the opening of any ln- ouiries which the senate may order, and several are in prospect, The Judiciary committee meets tomorrow to start the investigation ordered ln- to the right Of Secretary Mellon to continue in office.

 ReorRanixatiOn Of Marketing

The farmers battle cry "equality for agrlCulture' was answered by 1he presidents advocacy of a federal board "of strength and importance equal to that of those which we have created for transportation and bank ,ng"
 In word. the presidents program calls for the reorganization of the marketing system of sounder and more stable and more economic lines" In detail it conforms closely 10 the bill approved by the house agricul ,ural committee. In general scope and practical aims. it is the , -Haugen hill of the last two sessions minus the equalization fee. l Hoover was even more emphatic 1 in what the bill should not contain ! than in what it should.
 Certain vital principles must be adhered 10 in order that we may not undermine the freedom of our farmers and of our people as a W hole by bureaucratic and govern mental domination and interfer- ence." he warned.
 No Fee or Tax on Farmer "We must not undermine initia tive. There should be no fee or tax i imposed upon the farmer. No gov ernmental agency should engage in buying and selling and price fixing of products. for such courses can lead only to bureaucracy and and l domination. Government funds should not be loaned. or facilities duplicated where other services Of credit and facilities are available at reasonable rates.
 No activities should be set in motion that will result in increasing the surplus production. as such will defeat any plans of relief
 The plan should be worked out. he added, through farmer owned and farmcr-con'rolled agencies"
 "The most progressive movement in all agriculture has been the up- building of the farmers own mark cting organizations. which now e1n- brace nearly 2.0o0. 900 farmers in mem bership and annually distribute tr'sly g.. 500, ,060, 900 worth of farm products" he continued. Tn order 10 strengthen and not undermine them. all proposals for government assistance should originate with such organizations and be the rcsul; of their application"
 Tariff Law Changes
 | HooVer's recommendation Fol sweeping changes in the administrd ton of the tariff la ws was surpris, to political observers. Likewise his iadmonition against general tar!f revision was more vigorous than had been anticipated generally.

NEW BANK POLICY
NEEDED, SAYS POLE
Controller Points to With
draWaI of 70 Institutions
From U. S. System.

BY the Associated fIcSS.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May %
Pointing to the loss Of 70 banks from
the national banking system in the last
six months because the banks found it
more advantageous to operate under
state charters than under the national
bank charter, Controller Of tie Cur
rency Pole today told the Maryland
Bankers Association a new banking
policy to meet present-day conditions
must be formulated.
Pole said that the old-fashioned unit
bank which confined its activities to the
community in which it originated was
! finding 1t more difficult to operate with
costs Increasing and income declining.
It was a question, he said, whether 1t
could survive. Group banking, he con-
! tinued, had shown an amazing growth
and branch banking, limited by the
Federal laws, had expanded under the
State laws.
within recent months" Pole said.
"the trend toward trust company char
ters by national banks has been alarm
inply accumulated. Great bank CONSOLE
dations of national banks and trust
companies are taking place in which
the national charters are being given
up.
within the past six months 70 ma
tional banks with aggregate resources
of So, $50 900 900 have passed over under
State Jurisdiction. 1t is quite evident
that it is being found more advanta-
geous to carry on business OF banking
under trust company charters"
In view of the existing situation with
reference to unit banking" Pole said,
1.-THE growth of group banking the cur
tailment of branch banking by Federal
statute and the increasing number of
mergers under trust company charters,
the time appears opportune to re-ex-
anime the basic structure of our entire
banking system and to formulate a new
banking policy to meet present-day con-
ditions"
