BANK REFORM
TO Be PUSHED
IN CONGRESS
Leading Currency Author
tiles Agree On Nature
Of Act To Be Sought
LIQUIDATION BODY
WOULD COVER LOSSES

WASHINGTON. April 3. (uP)
Congress- two leading currency
authorities reached an agree
mcnt yesterday on far-rcachinT
bank reform bill and agreed to
push it simultaneously through
house and senate.
Chairman Steagall Of the house
banking and currency committee
and Senator Carter Glass, DEM,
Va, arc the two men who will
take charge Of the measure that
has complete White House APP
prevail.
1t will be based chiefly on the
, Glass bill which passed the senate
last session and will seek to per-
suadc non-mcmber banks to go
into the federal reserve system. A
100 per cent guarantee Of all
liquid national bank deposits will
be included.
Steagall said no agreement had
been reached on the branch bank
ing feature. The Glass bill which
passed the senate and died in the
house provided for branch bank
| ing in states whose own laws per-
mitsed it. SteagaIl indicated his
bill would not authorize any type
of branch banking.
The bank deposit section will
be identical in the Glass and Stea-
gall bills. 1t would set up a bank
liquidating corporation with an
initial subscription of $500,000,-
600 and with authority to issue
enough debentureS to bring it's to-
tai funds to $2,000,000,000.
Sponsors of the bill believe the
feature guaranteeing deposits
would be so attractive to deposl--
tors that non-members would
have to join the federal reserve
system or suffer a serious curtall-
ment in business.
The insurance against deposit
tor-loss is provided in creation OF
self liquidating corporation
which would Immediately obtain
S15O,O00,OO0 from the treasury
Member banks of the federal re.
serve would subscribe to stock OF
the corporation to the extent CT
one half of one per cent of their
deposits, one quarter of the sub
ecr;ntion being payablc immedl-
ately, but not more than one half
of it in single year. -,
Steagall said he believed the
bill as drafted by Glass might in
cludc a section admitting state
banks if they applied for member
ship in the federal reserve. 1t is
believed such action would place
virtually all the state institutions
into centralized and unified
banking system. =,
An important feature of the
old Glass bill called for separa-
ton of commercial banks and in
yestments affiliates a move
which President Roosevelt advo-
Gated in the presidential cam
paign. =,
The proposed liquidating cor.
poration would come to the aid OF
closed banks in this way. The re-
ceiver of the bank would make
application for assistance and, II
granted the corporation would
supply the bank with enough cur
rency to make up the difference
between the assets of the bank
and its cash position.

TARIFF CUTS,
IMPORTQUOTA
CHANGES PLAN
Has American Plan To
Offer Diplomats Visiting
Washington Soon
NO MENTION TO BE
MADE OF WAR DEBTS
BY JOSEPH n. BAIRD
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press StaH Correspondents
WASHINGTON, April 3. (UP)
Moving with the same SwiftneS'
that has marked its attack on do
mcstic problems. the administra-
ton yesterday began a spirited
effort to insure effective action
rather than mere idle talk at the
world economic conference.
Invitations to come to Wash
ington for personal talks with
President Roosevelt on economic
problems have been issued to nine
powers. They are: Great Britain,
France, Italy. Germany, Japan,
China. Argentina. Brazil and
Chile.
These countries were told by
the state department that the
president would be glad to re-
ccive their premierS or officials
they might designate. If it were
inconvenient TO send a mission,
they were invited to discuss plans
for the world economic confer
ence with the United States thru
diplomatic channels.
Prime Minister Ramsay Mac
Donald of Great Britain already
has accepted an invitation 20
come here the latter part of this
month. Informed speculation was
that Germany, France and Italy
probably would send cabinet min
listers or other high officials. L;
was thought likely other powers
would conduct discussions through
their ENJOYS here.
Before the foreign statesmen
will be placed an american plan
for curing the worlds economic
ills. While details Of the plan hav"
not been revealed, it Is under
stood to cover, among others, the
following points:
/. Drastic reduction on tariffs:
2. Abolition or modification OF
import quotas.
5. Sterilization of information
al exchange, probably through a
gradual reestablishment Of the
gold standard.
4. Stimulation Of commodity
prices.
War debt revision is ignored in
the American PLAN" Officials
here see no reason for the credl-
tor to propose relief for the
debtor. But observers have no
doubt that the debt question will
be raised by the visitors. 1t 50,
the administration is willing 10
consider whatever proposals foe
reduction that may be submitted.
The purpose of the Washington
conversations, as outlined authorl-
tatively yesterday, is to establish
a personal. cordial contact among
the heads of the important states
to be represented in the economic
conference. 1t is hoped that these
talks will encourage the common
man" to feel that the economic
conference is not "just another
conference" but a real, sincere
effort to vitalize commerce, put
exchange on an even keel and end
the depression.

COUNTY ROADS
JOBS BOOSTED

Raising the number of jobless
that can be employed on road
work to over 500 from each
county, Maryland State Roads
Commission heads yesterday gave
nearby district engineers until
Monday to perfect their separate
road programs.
Decision was made to limit the
work to be pushed with a Fed
eral grant of 100000, to small
projects, said Major E. Brooke
Lee, member of the commission
from Silver Spring.
At least $4,000 will be allo-
Gated to each of the five Southern
Maryland counties and Mont
gomery county, he said. The
work will consist of widening
shoulders, Strengthening roads and
crawling portions of the Sec
ondary system.
Welfare, unemployment and
charity heads are to be asked for
lists of jobless men eligible for
employment on the projects and
will be used on work in their
own districts.
Efforts will be made to augment
the fund with State Roads mach
inery and materials in order to
use more of the funds for wages,
Major Lee added.

SEADROME AID?
YES AND No
THEY SAY
BY International News Service


The will-o'-the-w isp answer to
the question of whether the United
States will finance the proposed
construction Of a series Of sea
dromes" across the Atlantic ocean
fitted today from department to
department - state, Commerce,
and Interior-and the question
still remained unanswered.
Under the plan, the seadromeS
would be anchored" at 500-mile
intervals along the southern air
route to Europe, but, following
revelation by Secretary Of Interior
Ickes that the project had not
been considered Every seriously"
it became known that Secretary Of
Commerce Roper's announcement
Of the plan was either premature
or based on an apparent mis-
understanding.
According to informed sources,
a report on legal phases Of the
plan came up and was accepted
by the Public Works Administra-
ton, over which Secretary Ickes
presides. Roper took this to mean
acceptance of the entire program,
and made the announcement.
Ickes' view is that international
questions, as we'll as those govern
ing legal use of Public Works
money, call for further examina
ton before any definite action is
taken.

Someone sent me copy of the

that article:
"A small army of boys and

high school is being used by
large scale narcotic dealers in
New Orleans to peddle mar

B. GreesOn, head of the United

that police and Federal officers

this practice.
16-YEAR-OLD BOY HELD
"a 16-year-old boy, Thomas
E. Donovan, 533 st. Andrew ST.,
was charged before the United

of the Harrison narcotic act and
was held in default Of $4,000
bond.
"Mr. Greeson and Capt.
James E. Cripps of the Sixth
precinct station said they are
faced with one of the most
serious situations IN the his
tory of narcotic traffic in New

"The youngsters boast of the
fact that they will not squeal

they work, and they make good
their boasts" said Mr.. GreeSOn.

Colonel Mccormick said:
