GLASS BILL FIGHT
RESUMES MONDAY
Huey Long to Be Chief 0p-
ponent to Reform
Measure.

With the Senate In adjournment to-
day because Of the death of former
President Coolidge, the bitter fight over
the Glass banking reform bill is to be
resumed next Monday with Senator
Huey Long, Democrat, Of Louisiana,
among the chief opponents to the
measure.
Senator Glass, Democrat, Of Virginia,
told the Senate yesterday the bill which
he Is sponsoring Is vital to curb bank
measures, but he quickly encountered
opposition from Long, who attacked
the section which would allow national
institutions to set up State wide
branches.
Long offered an amendment to con-
fine the branches to cities where the
main bank is located He charged that
present provisions would concentrate
the banks in the hands of few.
Sees Roosevelt Veto.
Unless President-elect Roosevelt had
changed his opinion that concentration
of wealth and banking resources was
would have to veto the Glass BILL If
passed in his administration.
Outlining results of the Banking
Committees investigation of conditions
to determine the effect of extending
branch banking, Glass said:
Il have the official declaration OF
seasoned and expert bank examiners to
the effect that unless Congress shall
adopt wise system of branch banking
we may, with some degree Of certainty,
expect the failure of 407 banks in a
short while. They state that the banks
may be saved If permitted to be taken
over by strong banks"
Glass said 1t was his judgement that
branch banking was about the only
remedy" for the banking situation and
that conditions had become SO bad as
to force the controller Of the cur
rencys office virtually to "close its
eyes" to failures to abide by its regula-
tions.
"I would not like here to depict to
the Senate" he said, "the exact situa-
ton as 1t has been portrayed TO be
by those charged with supervising and
exacting obedience from banking insti-
tutions to the law.
Have Portfolios Choked.
MANY of the banks have their port
folios choked with immobile and in
many instances worthless investments.
So many of the banks have failed and
are now failing to write of their books
losses incurred that the ONCE of the
controller has been compelled almost to
close its eyes"
Glass said of nearly II 900 failures in
recent years, 80 per cent involved in
stitutions with q capital Of $4,000 and
under.
Many of these he described as pawn
shops set up over the country-called
banks-and they toppled over like ten
pins at every disturbance of business" 4"
yet there are Senators who want
to perpetuate that sort Of thing" he
said
Long said the measure as 1t stands
would authorize the "amalgamation Of
the banks in the hands Of a few
people"

Gay Crowd Rushes
To Place Deposits
In Reopened Bank
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
STATESBORO, Ca, January
6.-They reopen q closed bank
in this town much In the man
ner Of a Roman holiday or q
Fourth of July picnic.
AS the clock chimed 8 am.
the doors of the Sea Island Bank
swung open, the town fire whis-
tie shrieked deafening blasts and
the crowd rushed in with money
in their hands and cheers in
their throats.
Everybody shook hands with
the bank officials and then turn
ed around and shook hands with
each other for good measure.
The lobby looked like a floral
shop, and men and women,
white and colored, jostled around
forming lines to make their de-
positS.
The bank closed more than a
year ago. Last December the
Bank of Statesboro closed, and
since then the town and county
has been without home-banking
facilities.
