Proposed extension Of the facilities Of
the postal savings system, which dur
ing the depression has experienced q
record breaking growth Of deposits,
awaits consideration by Congress.
The chief proposal Is the recon-
mendation made by Postmaster Cen
eral Brown that the maximum balance
which may be accepted from any one
depositor be increased from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Pending in Congress are two bills in
troduced late in the last session-one
by Representative Buckbee of Illinois,
which provides for ths $1,000 maximum
and another by Representative Sweeney
of Ohio, which raises the limitation to
$4,000.
Opposition Expected.
Vigorous opposition to these measures
Is expected from those bankers who
view the postal savings system as an
encroachlng governmental agency de-
priving them OF legitimate business. On
several occasions, groups of bankers
have appeared before congressional
committees to voice criticism of the
system.
Postmaster General Brown has main
tanned that postal savings have demon
strated their usefulness particularly in
times Of financial stress because the
funds which are received. If there were
no such agency, would go into hiding
and stagnate.'
