FRAZIER ATTACKS
GAMBLING IN BANKS
Progressive Senator Says
Structure Must Be Revised
to Meet Needs.

Steps to solve the unemployment
problem and revise the banking struc-
ture lin such manner as will insure
adequate credit to the farmers as we'll
as business" were urged in a statement
issued yesterday by Senator Frazier of
North Dakota. Progressive Republican.
The gambling element in banking
must be eliminated" Senator Frazier
statement read. The gambler in raw
foods and agricultural products must
be outlawed. Gambling with industrial
securities must be stopped. Our society
cannot stand the shock of continual
stock market raids. The present depreS-
sion has wildly brought this to our at
tention."
Discussing the unemployment prob
lem, Senator Frazier said he would CO.
operate with other members of Cen
gress in introducing bills providing for
the construction of a national system
of express motorways
Such an express motorways system"
the statement continued, meeting not
only the traffic problem Of the cities, but
also intercity express motorways con-
nection. can be planned, created and
financed whenever we are ready to act,
and the whole job can be done without
adding single dollar to the present
expenditures which we are now paying
as loss, as a waste in actual cash,
machinery, time, injuries and death

tenance OF the motor traffic JAM"

EXTRA CONGRESS
Democratic Senate Leader
: Wants Hoover Credit
Plan Enlarged.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An extra session Of Congress to deal
with President Hoover's credit proposals
and other necessary economic legisla-
ton was advocated today by Senator
Robinson Of Arkansas, the Democratic
leader.
The Senate minority leader said the
Presidents program was sound as far
as 1t went, but suggested as supplement-
al actions the provision of funds to al
low Federal and joint stock land banks
to grant extensions of credit and the
arrangement for renewal Of 1881 crop
loans to farmers.
1T does seem to me-" Robinson said
that the sureSt and quickest way to
get decisions and to make plans effective
Is By assembling the Congress"
Re Sinson, in his flrst comment on
the Presidents program, said the pro-
posals for $500. 900 900 credit fund and
for eXpa lSion OF paper eligible for dis
count at Federal Reserve banks should
prove helpful and of permanent ad-
vantage"
IF. in addition, some feasible ar
rangement can be entered into which
will provide the necessary funds or
credit to enable both Federal and Joint
stock land banks to grant reasonable

rowers who are under temporary dis
advantages due to the abnormally low
prices Of farm products conditions In
the rural sections will be substantially
improved" he said.
Il am also urging that a portion of
the Government loans to assist farm
ers In making crops during 1891 be
carried over so that something may
be available for the reduction of old
debts and for future requirements, but
can give no assurance that any plan
In this regard will be acceptable to the
representatives of the Government
An opposite extra session view was
expressed by Representative Smell of
New York, one of the outstanding Re-
publican contenders for the speaker
ship.
Smell said in view Of the short time
remaining before the opening of the
regular session in December he could
not see any great advantage In calling
an extra session.

Edwin r. A. Seligman, professor of
economies at Columbia University-The
action taken by President Hoover is
wholly admirable. It will serve to mo-

ought to be no doubt of our ability to

Lynn p. Talley, San Francisco, chair

Bank Of America-There is every rea-

Walter w. Smith, president Of the
First National Bank, st. Louis, and

question but that the Presidents pro-
posals created a better feeling The

MARKET WATCHED
BY LEGISLATORS
Fight for. Ban on Short Sales

Sudden Drop.

The New York Stock Exchange is
under careful scrutiny today Of leading
members of Congress. If there should
be a new sudden drop in prices, and
the drop should be attributable In some
measure to short selling, there Is every
prospect of an immediate renewal of
the demand recently made by Senator
Watson Of Indiana and others that a
ban on short selling-certainly for the
extent Of the present depression-be
fixed.
The market has reacted favorably to
the proposal advanced by President
Hoover for sterilization Of banks and
credit in this country. Should O reac-
ton set In. however. with prices taking
plunges to low levels, the probabilities
are that the congressional leaders in
Washington will be aroused.
The attitude of members of Congress
toward short selling on the exchange
has become more and more antagonistic
in recent months. Arguments advanced
by supporters of the exchange that
short selling has its proper place IN the
market are being brushed aside by the
legislators. who are convinced steps
should be taken to limit or eliminate

Senator Vandenburg. Republican. Of

New York Stock Exchange ban short
selling for two months. Other mem
bers Of Congress are prepared to go
much further. not only favoring an in
vestigation of the Stock Exchange by
Congressional Committee. but also
legislation to prohibit short selling.
Some of the members of Congress
commented favorably today on steps
taken by the exchange itself in recent
days to regulate short selling. In ef-
