WITH LOOSE
!. SLEEVE

Despite the disadvantage Of
having but one good arm, H. r.
Hathaway has reached the semi
finals of the handicap golf cham
pionship at the KeT1Wood Country
Club. IA trophy donated by Fred
Grimm will go to the winner.
Hathaway actually doesn't play
with one arm as Is the case
with Clarence M. Charest, the
tennis star, who is also a corking
1inksman. He manages to take
q firm grip on his club by virtue
Of his loose shirt sleeve. He
twineS this about his club and
is thus able to obtain more
power in his drives.
In doing this, he follows the
style used by Ned Sterling, the
one-armed baseball player Of
I.eonardtown, Md. Sterling pounds
out extra-base wallopS on the
diamond because of gripping his
bat tightly with his loose sleeve.
Hathaway entered the semi
finals by defeating George Link
and is the only player to have
gotten that far in the current
tourney. w. v. Brumbaugh and

A game with the Quantico Ma

FEDERAL PRESSURE
ON MARKET LAUDED
Reserve Board Report Is
Defense of Policy on
Speculation.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

On the eve of an investigation by the
Senate of just what happened in the
credit situation prior to last October,
the Federal Reserve Board has made
public its report outlining its experiences
with what has been termed direct
pressure"
This relates to the efforts of the Fed
eral Reserve Board to reduce the num-
Der of loans made by member banks to
their customers for speculative trans
actions. The board does not claim that
1t has found a solution to the question
Of excessive speculation, but does point
out direct pressure" has clarified the
problem and has aided in preserving
credit stability.
Legislation Proposed and Opposed
Members of Congress have discussed
the advisability of legislation which
would prohibit the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn from allowing its resources to be
used to support sotck market operations.
It has been commended on the other
hand that the Federal Reserve Board
now has discretionary authority and
that no legislation is needed.
1.-THE protection Of Federal reserve
credit" says the report, against diver
sion into channels of speculation con-
problem confronting the Federal reserve
system in its efforts to work out a
technique of credit control that shall
bring to the country such steadiness of
credit conditions and such maintenance
of economic stability as may be expected
to result from competent administra-
ton of the resources Of the system.
Whatever method or combination OF
methods Of securing these results may
eventually win the sanction alike of sue
cessful practice and public opinion, the
recent outstanding experience of the
Federal reserve system in demonstrate
ing the practicability of direct pressure
has clarified the problem and advanced
its solution"
The foregoing IS a clear indication
that the board will not hesitate on fll-
ture occasions % apply direct pressure
whenever 1t thinks brokers' loans have
gone too high.
The boards comprehensive explana-
ton OF the stock market break In
October emphasizes chiefly the rapic
rise in stock prices and the over stinu-
lation OF bushes sactivity, together with
production.
Board Is Optimistic.
Looking at the future, the board takes
the view that the liquidation of security
loans IN the last two months of 1925
resulted in an improvement in the
credit situation in the United States
and also exerted IAN important favor
able influence on world credit condi-
tons"
The recital Of the various incidents
revealing the efforts of the Fedora
Reserve Banks to secure an advance
in rediscount rate at times when the
board did not wish to sanction It has
strengthened the prevailing view that
the central supervisory function of the
board has been and is being exercised
vigorously.
The power of the Federal Reserve
Board to exercise direct pressure and
to refuse to advance the rediscount
rate has rarely been questioned and
mere are bankers who, OF course, dis
agree with the wisdom of the direct
pressure policy.
