ALLOW BANKS TO
USE DISCRETION
Continued From Page u

shaping its banking holiday to fit
the needs of the public in all re-
spects consistent with the impera-
tive necessary of protecting the ma
tion's gold reserve.
Secretary Woodin laid the follow
ing protective restrictions about the
foregoing exceptions:
l. Every precaution must be
taken to prevent boarding or unneC-
essary withdrawal of currency.
2. No bank shall engage in any
transaction in connection with the
foregoing which would violate state
Or federal laws or any orders is
sued Hereunder.
3. No gold or gold certificates
may be paid out under any circum-
stances whatever. Each bank and
its officers and directors will be
helc. strictly accountable for iaith-
full compliance with this regulation
in spirit as we'll as letter.
WASHINGTON, March 7. UR)-
Orders authorizing issue of scrip
by clearing houses throughout the
country beginning Friday were is
sued today.
Some localities may be allowed
to start issuing scrip earlier but
only by special direct authoriza-
ton from the secretary of treasury.
Woodin's orders provided that:
Scrip may be issued by clearing
houses and other authorized asso-
citation against sound assets of
banking institutions.
Scrip may be delivered by each
institution to it's creditors and de-
positors on a pro rata basis.
This was understood to mean
that depositors probably would be
given a percentage of scrip against
their deposits rather than the full
amount, depending upon the judg-
ment of clearing house authorities
in each instance.
For the moment there was no
authoritative word as to whether
New York would permitted to go
ahead at once with its scrip which
is now physically ready for issue.
'Wait until 4 p. m.," said treas
ury officials.
Woodin's next press conference is
at that hour.
This action followed earlier Or
ders providing limited lifting of
bank restrictions to insure meeting
of payrolls, transport of food, med
icines and other emergency needs.
Indications that former officials
were collaborating with the admin
iStration was seen in the fact that
the two highest treasury officials
of the Hoover regime were with
Woodin today-former Secretary of
Treasury Ogden Mills and former
Undersecretary Arthur Ballantine.
Throughout the emergency regu-
lations issued in rapid-fire order
were designed to adapt the rigors
of the enforced holiday to the needs
and convenience of the public.
Arrangements were made to per-
NIT cleaning up of checks written
before the holiday provided no out
lay of cash was involved Through
out, however, emphatic orders were
maintained forbidding payment of
gold or gold certificates.
Banks also were authorized to
resume their functions as trustees
of estates and other trust funds
provided that no currency is paid
out.
