BANKERS ATTACKED
i'm GUARANTY PLEA
SteagaII Holds Bills Foes En-
trenched Deep in U. S.
Treasury.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A warning that bankers who ''have
got their arms up to the shoulders in
the Treasury" are opposing the measure
began House debate yesterday on the
broad Glass-Steagall bank reform bill.
That statement was made by Chair
man Steagall, co-author of the bill, in
starting four hours of debate that will
continue tomorrow. ..-.- -
After explaining the bill with Its pro-
visions for deposit insurance system,
the separation Of banks and security
afiliates and its general plugging of
holes in the Federal Reserve act, Stea-
gall told the House:
This bill will establish q control to
see to 1t that hereafter the facilities Of
the Federal Reserve are devoted pri-
marily to the things for which they
were intended"
Holds Some Are Honest.
He criticized international bankers, "
most high finance and "mismanage-
ment," but added that some bankers
are honest, thank heaven"
When several members asked about
kilograms they had received from bank
ers protesting against the deposit insur-
ance feature Of the bill, Steagan re-
piled:
It would advise you gentlemen to go
down to the Treasury and see how
many of the bankers opposing this bill
have got their arms up to the shoulders
in the Treasury Of the United States.
That can't go on forever
The general public, he said, doesn't
understand technicalities of banking,
but demands the right to put the fruits
of its toll into bank and have that
money as safe as though it were in
vested in a Government bond"
Points to Guaranty.
This bill will give that guaranty" {"
he said.
Representative Patman, Democrat, of
Texas, opposing the deposit insurance
provisions, argued that mot more than
one-third of the $4,000 State banks in
the country will be able to qualify for
in the insurance fund"
When the House on Monday resumes
consideration Of the bill, Its companion
and only slightly different bill, that
sponsored by Senator Glass, Democrat,
OF Virginia, will be taken up again in
the Senate.

HOUSE T0EXPED|TE
PUBLIC WORKS BILL
Approval During Week Is
Goal Set by Democratic
Leaders.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Passage by the House during the
coming week Of the administrations
public works and industries bill is the
goal set by the Democratic leaders OF
that body.
This measure, the most ambitious of
the whole Roosevelt recovery program,
is to be whipped into shape by the
Ways and Means Committee, perhaps
during tomorrow and Tuesday.
When it is brought to the floor of
the House 1t will be considered under
a special rule and forced to early action.
The expectation of the Democratic
leaders Is that the tax section of the
bill providing revenue to meet the
financing of the $500 ,000, 600 public
works program, will be minus the man
ufacturers' sales tax.
THE sentiment of the great ma
jortity of the members of the House
today Is against general sales tax"
Majority Leader Byrns said yesterday.
Boosted Income Rates Seen.
AT the same. Time IL appeared more
and more likely. that the bill, when it
comes from committee, will carry pro-
vision for increasing the normal in
come tax rates. This increase in the
normal rates-from to per cent on
the first $4,000 of taxable income and
from 8 to 10 per cent on the second
$4,000 - will be in combination with
other taxes to raise the needed $780,
100000.
The Democratic leaders expect Presi-
dent Roosevelt during the week to send
to Congress a special message asking
authority to enter into reciprocal tariff
agreements with the foreign powers.
They say they will be able to put reso-
luton granting this power through the
House without much difficulty. And
when they have heard from the Presi-
dent on that subject, they believe that
they will have had the entire program
Of the administration for the present
session. They do not look now for
request from the President to deal with
the foreign debts to this country grow
ing out of the World War. Indeed,
there are some Of them who insist that
the President has never considered ask
ing any power to deal with the war
debts except perhaps to postpone the
June Is payment.

Either Mortgagor Mortgage May Approach Gov

if necessary. WHICH would be added to
your debt, provided the total obligation
did not exceed 80 per cent Of the ap-
praised value of your home.
If you are out of job and tempo
rarily unable to pay anything, the
corporation could give you a three-year
postponement.
Under these circumstances, in addi-
ton to any moratorium and any re-
duction in total agreed to by the holder
of your mortgage, your annual interest
payments would be reduced from $3.50
q year to $500.
II you own q $4,000 home and have
worked the mortgage down to say S.
600. but are now out Of job and can
not pay on that, the bill has further
provision to help you.
In this case the holder Of your
mortgage probably would not exchange
it for bonds because your home is such
good security that he would rather
foreclose.
To prevent this the corporation could
extend to you cash up to 40 or so per
cent Of the value Of your home to pay
OF. your debtor. You would turn the
mortgage over to the corporation for
security.
Instead Of foreclosing Immediately,
the corporation then would give you
time to set On your feet. -

If you own a $4,000 home with a
$4,000 mortgage on it, this is the way
you would go about getting relief under
the administration bill approved yester-
day by Senate subcommittee.
Although the bill is still subject to
change, the procedure viii be about the
same IN its final form.
You, or the holder Of your mortgage,
may approach a Government agency to
be created under the bill, known as the
Home Owners Loan Corporation, and
ask for refinancing.
If you are paying 612 per cent In
terest on your mortgage, but are unable
to continue, the holder of it may agree
to accept bonds issued by the corpora
ton IN exchange for the obligation.
He would only get per cent interest,
hutAit would be guaranteed by the Gov
ernment and would be tax exempt. In
return for the sure interest payments
and tax exemption he might agree to
accept $1,000 in bonds for the $4,000
mortgage.
In either case you would agree to re-
pay the Government corporation over q
fixed period Of years at per cent In
terest.
In addition. the Government would
advance you cash for taxes and Repeirs.
