Ways and Means Committee of the
House.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas the
Democratic leader, said he understood
the legislation to be acted on imme-
dlately Will be designed to carry out the
Presidents proclamation.
Recess May Be Taken.
This will be looking toward the use
OF clearing house certificates by banks
that are in moratoria to the extent of
their liQuidity," he explained, "and au-
thorization Of a segregation Of new de-
posits. permitting the banks to use such
deposits under the proper regulations
and restraints for the purchase of Gov
ernment obligations.
am not advised that it Is expected
a reorganization Of the general bank
ing system will be attempted in con-
nection with the emergency measures
referred TO-
1T may be possible that following dis
position Of the emergency banking situ-
alton. recess Of the Congress may be
taken to provide brief time for the
preparation OF measures to effect q
more general program for the extraor-
dinary session.
Robinson told newspaper men the
o.her oay tnat general program now
was being worked on by the Democrats
and would be expedited all possible.
Important Problems Remain.
Once the banking situation Is out Of
the way. the problems OF Congress will
still be far from solved however. A
final pocket veto by President Hoover
OF the Independent offices bill. carrying
funds for the Veterans Bureau among
other establishments will bring up early
the question Of cutting allowances for
the former soldiers who have non-serv-
ice connected disabilities
The farm relief question. left almost
as 1t was six months ago by the expir-
ing Congress, must be taken up again.
Unemployment, foreclosures on farms
and moderate priced homes, relief of
distress. war debts, tariffs. the st.
Lawrence waterway-an of these and
manifold other problems await the
touch Of the new administration.
And. almost before 1t gets its bear
ings, the Congress may have thrown be-
fore 1t demand from the Chief Execu-
tive-as he indicated in his inaugural
address, demand for sweeping war
time executive powers to carry on the
fight against the depression.
