special DlSpatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 19.-Declaring
that the dual system of banking under
State and national charters recognizes
the sovereignty of the States and the
inherent American policy of giving
freedom for individual initiative" Felix
McWhirter, president of the State bank
division of the American Bankers
Association has issued a call to the
members of his division to combat "un-
true propaganda continually pumped
out of a bureaucratic Washington to
destroy the State banking system"
Mr.. McWhirter declares that the di-
rectors and officers Of the State char
tered institutions, which number about
$4,000. propose to control vigilantly the
situation in their respective States with
their own hands"
He recalls the fact that State banks
OF all classes comprise over two-thirds
OF the Nations banking institutions,
that they hold deposits in excess of
thirty billion dollars, or about three
fifths of the national total and that
their capital is considerably more than
half the banking capital of the country

AUTOMOBILE TRADE
FINDS IMPROvEME ENT
Recent Sales Gains Encourage In.
dustry-Controlled Output
Policy Effective.
BY DAVID ]. WILKIE.
Written for the Associated Press.

DETROIT, May 19.-The automobile
industry. much to the qualification of
production managers and sales directors,
is still climbing the hill and apparently
losing none of its pulling power as 1t
approaches the point on the road where
it must expect levelling off of demand,
Although somewhat late in getting its
stride, manufacturing activity continues
to expand, rejecting increased new car
sales, and inspiring the belief inr many
quarters that the best part of this year S
showing in the industry is still to be
experienced.
1t was with the idea of definitely
eliminating the traditional mixture of
high points and low points in the au-
tomobile industry's production and dis
tribution that controlled production"
IVES adopted as definite policy more
than two years ago. While trade circles
are inclined to feel that the continu-
ance of the upward trend beyond the
usual first month of the second quar-
ter of the year is due largely to the be-
lated introduction of several new models
in the low-priced field, there is also a
disposition to point out that the full
effect of controlled production is just
beginning to be felt
There is also an inclination to be-
lieVe that the coordination of sales
activities on the part of some of the
leading producers is beginning to show
desired results.

OPEN MARKET POLICY
OF BANKS is EXPLAINED
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A popular but apparently greatly mis-
understood financial topic of discussion
is the open market" operations of the
Federal Reserve Board.
For the sake of clarifcation this
operation is one that has as its motive
the supplying of credit, through the
purchase of Government securities. The
Federal Reserve banks, that is those IL
regional and Government institutions,
purchase Government securities, credit
ing the bank from which they are re-
ceiVed with the amount of money on it's
books. and this amount stands as ex-
cess reserves to the credit of the bank.
Now, bank ordinarily does not care
to carry excess reserves. so it probably
uses that money in some way either
lends it, invests it or does something
with it, possibly pays off Indebtedness
to another bank, and thus puts the
money into circulation.
BY money in circulation" is meant
currency outside the Federal Reserve
banks and the Treasury of the United
States.

SHORT SALE RULES
Margin of 10 Points a Share Re.
'quired on All Contracts, Re-
gardless of Market Prices.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 19-Reports cur
rent for several days that the New
York Stock Exchange was Tightening
up its restrictions on short selling by
requiring members to demand higher
margins against short accounts were
confirmed in authoritative quarters
today.
While no formal announcement was
made by the exchange, it was learned
that every member firm handling spec
ulative accounts was advised by the
Business Conduct Committee that it
must demand and maintain margin
OF 10 points share on all short ac-
counts regardless of price Of the stock.
Moreover. the members were ordered
to compute such margin separately in
the case OF a customer having both a
long and short position Under this
ruling an excess margin in a long ac-
count cannot be used as margin
against a short position
In some brokerage circles the ex-
changes proncuncement was regarded
as far more drastic move to dis
courage bear selling than any of the
warnings and orders issued previously
on this much-discussed phase of stock
exchange operations.
