AYRES ASSA|LS
PROVISIONS Of
CLASS BILL
Cleveland Banker Declares
Measure Would Block
Economic Recovery

Passage of the Glass bill, de-
signed to restrict banks from
indulging in stock speculation,
would prolong the period of
economic recovery, Leonard P.
Ayres, vice president of the
Cleveland Trust Company, told
the Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee today.
The only two provisions of the
bill which might be helpful are
those providing extension of
branch banking, he said. He
added:
The avOwed purpose of the
bill is to prevent the diversion
of funds into speculative opera
tiOns. In attempting to do this,
its authors have tried to erect
barriers in all channels through
which bank funds might move
into speculation and they have
succeeded in devising a whole
series of obstacles against busi-
ness expansion.
"The bill would weaken the
banks by tying up hundreds of
millions of their funds in non.
productive uses.
"One provision takes a bout
$15O,OOO,0OO out of solvent
banks to liquidate closed banks.
This requires the well run and
cOnservatively managed banks
to bear the burden of the in
solvent banks that were poorly
or even dishonesty rum"
Warning that the Glass bill
would cause widespread deflation
and nullify the benifit of the
National Bankers Credit Corpora
ton and the Reconstruction Fl
nance Corporation was voiced by
Rudolph Hecht, of New Orleans,
chairman Of the economic policy
commission of the American
Bankers Association. He said:
"The bill would destroy most
of what has been done to stop
deflation; it would weaken
rather than strengthen the
banking situation"
