CHANGE IN BANKING
LAWS is EXPECTED
Movement for Branch Sys-
tens May Be Perfected
in Legislation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Nineteen thirty-one will in all proba-
bility witness certain amendments to
the national bank act, particularly with
respect to branch banking.
Banking opinion is agreed that some
modification or revision Of the present
regulations is necessary. The profession
of banking is following in. the wake OF
the trend of business generally toward
larger operating units with greater cap
ital structure and more experienced
and highly trained heads. The natural
result has been that banking organiza-
tions of great stability, with the capac-
ity to render a better and more diver
sified type of service, are being GEN.
tralized in the principal cities of the
country.
The House Committee on Banking
and Currency is expected to resume
hearings shortly after Congress con-
venes in December and from this body
is expected to emerge sound sugges-
tions gained from a consensus of the
best banking minds of the Nation at
hearings which have already consumed
many weeks. These hearings thus far
have resulted Overwhelmingly in favor
of various forms of branch banking,
but in a few instances the negative
side has been taken by leading flnan-
ciers.
Among those arrayed on the side ia
voring branch banking is none other
than j. w. Pole, controller of the cur
rency, whose opinions are respected
throughout the Nations banking struc-
ture Mr.. Pole believes national banks
should be permitted to establish
branches within the trade area Of the
cities in which such banks are stu
ated, with the approval of the con-
troller of the currency. Mr. Pole is
not decided as to definite limitations
of these trade areas, but feels they may
In some cases he co-extensive with Fed
eral Reserve district lines. In other
cases they may be of a more limited
extent, but should not extend beyond
Federal Reserve district boundaries,
except to take care of a few excep-
tional cases where a trade area may
extend from one Federal Reserve dis
trict into another.
Furthermore, he believes no bank
should be permitted to establish a
branch in another city in which there
is Federal Reserve bank or branch
thereof.

BUSINESS
PROSPECT IS SEEN
"Dawes Bank" Believes the
Current PeSSimiSm Is
Not Justified.
BY WALTER BROWN.
written for the Associated Press,

Written for the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 24s-The Central
Trust Co, in a digest of trade condl-
tions, sees the most hopeful indica-
ton of the immediate betterment in
business conditions generally is found in
the reduction of inventories"
The Dawes Bank thinks it is hard
to find justification for the current pes
;imism, which has real foundation only
in a reduction of not more than S per
cent in the total income of the people"
The Central Trust is referred to as the
Dawes Bank" because Charles G..
Dawes, former Vice President and pres
ent Ambassador to Great Britain, Is
chairman of the board.
Pessimism Not Justified.
The digest says:
Home larders are not so well
stocked; retailers shelves are developing
vacant spaces; available warehouse
spaces show a reduction in wholesale
stocks: finished merchandise in factory
warehouses is belo wlast years volume
and stocks of raw materials at conSum-
ing manufacturing plants are we'll below
the level at this date Of any postwar
year."
Summing up its reasons that pessim-
ism Is not justified, the bank lists more
gold than the country needs, more
credit than can be utilized, more divi-
dend and interest payments than ever
before enjoyed, more crops than can be
consumed and average prices well be-
low the level of average wages for the
first time since the World War.
The survey contends that the de-
crease in buying power has not been so
great as the decrease in buying. Con-
ttnutng, it said;
1.-THE income of factory workers has
been most seriously affected, with en-
ployment down IS per cent and pay
rolls down 20 per cent. The drop in
pay rolls is due largely to part-time
employment, and in small measure to
wage reductions, which have been few. y
Buying Power.
Indicating that buying power exists,
citations are made of reductions in out
standing installment credits, larger is
sue of life insurance, increasing sale OF
bonds to investors and gain of nearly
ST 600 600, 900 in saving accounts.
While railroad revenue is down, ex-
penditures for the first half of this year
by class l roads totaled $468, 100000, a
gain Of $118,000,000 over the first halt
of 1929.
Money in circulation at the beginning
of October totaled S4,502, 600, 900, de-
cline for the month and a Shrinkage OF
per cent for the year.
The survey said that a real handi-
cap in building is developing in the in
ability of dealers to make prompt deliv-
cry of materials"

STOCK PRICES DUE
FOR SLOW UPTURN
Recovery Should Be Not Later
Than Early Summer, Institute
Review Says.
Special Dispatch to The Star


NEW YORK, October 24.-Analo0y
with the stock market recession of
1920-1 indicates that recovery of stock
prices should not be later than the early
Summer of 1881. says the Alexander
Hamilton Institutes current Investment
Bulletin. In the postwar period, bust
ness readjustment Jagged behind the be-
ginning of deflation in stock prices and
commenced to show recovery some
months before the stock market def
nitely turned upward. Since the COM
parison with the postwar market is
favorable, both with regard to credit
conditions and corporate inventories,
there is at least colorado reason to
expect that the duration of depression
will be less, rather than greater, than
that of 10 years ago.
In point of time, the recession in the
stock market has lasted longer than the
decline after the 1908-9 market and
has eoualed the recession which started
late in 1916 and ended in December
of the following year. 1t is within two
months of equaling the decline of
1884. 1t has run eight months less
than the bear market of 1920-1 and nine
months less than the 1906-7 market Its
duration has been nearly year less
than that of the 1912-1914 market, a
period complicated by the outbreak of
the European war.
