positS and we've directed some modifi-
cations of the draft we had" said Sen
ator Glass DemocraD of Virginia

general principle CT insuring deposits.
He said he did not know whether the
modified proposal would meet admin
istration approval.
The subcommittee will take final ac-
ton on the revised insurance proposal
tomorrow.
I'VE are discussing the feasibility of
admitting mutual savings banks to the
Federal Reserve System" Glass revealed.
I'VE are trying to devise some method
of letting them in"
Report Being Prepared.
The subcommittee is getting ready

bring about a Christmas truce in the
Chaco warfare between Bolivia and
Paraguay such as it obtained last year.
1t was reported yesterday.
Although there was no official con-

truce might be arranged-perhaps an
even longer one than last year.
The success of the Pope'S recent ef-

the warning countries would agree to
such truce.

BY RUTH FINNEY
Times stan Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. Am at
tempt to provide relief for debtor
railroads and corporations, without
extending benefits to mortgaged
farmers and other individuals may
be made in the closing days of the
session.
Such plan is being urged by sem
ate conservatives, who do not like
the McKeoWn La Guardia bank
ruptcy bill as it passed the house
nor the hberaIzing amendments be-
ing proposed in the senate.
Conservatives object particularly
to provisions in the bill making it
possible for mortgage holders to be
bound, in a debt-scaling action, by
a majority of unsecured creditors,
and to be required to extend their
loans by action of a federal Judge.
In spite of general agreement in
congress that receiverships for rail-
roads and other large corporations
should be fOrestalIed If possible. a
strong group of weSternerS and
sOutherners will object to any &C
ton which does not benefit farm
erS, and can prevent passage of any
legislation at this congress.
