BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Banking Committee to-
day asked the Senate to postpone action
on the steagall bill to permit State
banks to borrow from the Federal
Reserve System, pending an investiga-
ton Of the measure.
At the same time, the committee set
up subcommittee to study the Borah
bill, proposing to repeal the home loan
bank act. passed by Congress last July.
Chairman Fletcher said the commit
tee decided to ask the Senate to refer
the Steagall bill to it and that the
committee would meet again this after
noon to study the measure.
Approved by House.
The Steagan Dill, which was passed
by the House yesterday, would permit
State banks to borrow directly from
Federal Reserve banks.
In view Of the committees request,
Senate consideration probably will be
delayed fer a day or two.
House approval was not given. how
ever until one member, Representative
Beedy, Republican, of Maine, ques-
toned the origin Of the measure and
indicated he believed Senator Huey
Long, Democrat, Of Louisiana was re-
sponsible for 1t.
Chairman Steagall Of the Banking
Committee spoke promptly in denial.
He insisted 'the authorship Of this
bill is traceable directly to the Presi-
dent and Is due to his concern for the
necessity Of doing something for State
banks"
Almost Immediately afterward the
House approved the measure without
even standing vote.
Asked for Extension.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 21.-Tentative ac-
ceptance Of the peace plan of Premier
Mussolini of Italy was understood to
have been given today by Premier
Edouard Daladier and Foreign Minister
Joseph Paul -Boncour to Prime Minister
Ramsay Macdonald of Great Britain
and Sir John Simon, his foreign secre-
tary.

British embassy.
Mr.. Macdonald and Sir John are re-
turning home by way of Paris after
at Rome with Premier Mussolini, at
was broached.
Wants Modification.
France, 1t was said In government
quarters, regards the plan favorably
but wants clariflcation and modiflca-
tion.
The French insist that the nature
and extent Of revision of treaties be
defined and that Poland and the little
entente be treated as equals, not
interiors
They insist that the powers affected
must be consulted if frontiers are
altered.
The government was said to be more
favorable to the plan than the news
papers, some Of which think Signor
Mussolini is trying to isolate France.
Cabinet Debates Plan.
Premier Daladier and M. Paul-Bon-
cour believe the Italian Premier's ges-
ture tends "to calm war nervousness"
and that they therefore must accept
if France Is to be safeguarded.
Daladier and Paul-Boncour met Mr.
Macdonald and Sir John at the rail-
road station at $50 am. They went
together to the British embassy where
they began conversations.
The French cabinet debated the plan
for three hours last night, but decided
to defer decisions until today.
It was semi-offlcially announced that
the Mussolini plan envisaged a treaty
valid for 10 years which would be re-
newable for second period of 10 years
unless renounced a year previously.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, March 21-The British
governments action in breaking of
trade negotiations with Soviet Russia
Is expected in foreign quarters to bring
repercussions in the impending trial
of four British subjects here on espion-
age charges
While the action was viewed as an
attempt to bring pressure for the un-
conditional release of the prisoners,
some foreign quarters were inclined to
believe it only would stiffen the Rus
sian attitude.
Strong resentment was caused here
by the implied feeling in England that
the arrested men will not obtain a fair
trial. The four British prisoners and
IS others, all employees Of the Metro
politan-Vickers Co., are to be tried
within month on charges Of wreck
ing activities" in connection with elec-
trical stations In several cities.

supplying and installing electrical ap-
pliances in Russia for 10 years and

NEW DETROIT BANK PLANNED.
General Motors and Chrysler Backs
National Institution.

General Motors and Chrysler Backs
National Institution.
DETROIT, March 81 R.-Plans went
forward here and in Washington today
for organization of a new national
bank in Detroit, but the question of
whether the Ford interests would join
with General Motors and Chrysler in
forming the new institution apparently
was unanswered.
Most of the negotiations were going
on In washington, where almost con-
tinuous conferences between General
Motors Corporation, Chrysler repre-
sentatiyes and Reconstruction Finance
Corporation officials have been in
progress since late last week.
Alfred P. Sloan, jr., president Of
General Motors, arrived In Washington
yesterday afternoon. Walter p. Chrysler
went to Washington late slast week.
The plan under consideration Is for
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation
to subscribe $12,500,000 in preferred
stock Of the new Detroit bank and for
the large motor companjr- to subscribe
an equal amount in c. ..nmon stock.
General Motors and Chrysler, reports
here said, have concurred. Treasury
officials have been In communication
with Edsel Ford, president Of the Ford
Motor Co, ,endeavoring to persuade him
to join In the plan.
No statement was forthcoming from
the Fords, among the largest depositors
in the First National Bank Detroit and
the Guardian National Bank Of Com
merce, which are in the hands of con-
servators. There were persistent re-
ports, however, that the Fords were
considering establishment Of separate
bank.
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
oficials were quoted In Washington as
saying that Sloan and Chrysler were
willing to give the Fords almost any
position Of dominance in the new bank
that they might ask If they would join
in the program.
