pected favorable report on the measure

opposition to it. The President, Secre-
tary Woodin and Senator Glass all
approve it. I may ask unanimous con-
sent to get it through. If not, we can
get d rule which will do the work.
The Senate has already passed a
measure sponsored by Senator Robin
son, Democrat, of Arkansas, extend
ing to State banks that are not men,
bers of the Federal Reserve system the
privilege of borrowing directly from
Federal reserve on security hitherto

Final enactment by the House found
many members changing the positions
they took when the economy bill first
passed that branch. The vote then was
266 to 1873 against yesterdays 373 to 10.
Leaders attributed the switches to
demands by constituents for support of
the President in his plan to balance the
budget by economies, reorganization and
the legalization and taxation of beer.
