governor of the Farm Credit Admins
| tration Is ready to put this provision
into immediate operation.
Senate passage Friday of the powerful
| arm-inf1ation measure Is believed by
congressional leaders to have broken
| the dam that has jammed up the leglS-
lative calendar.
| From Secretary Woodin, who gave up
dictatorship in a host of powerful IN
dustrial enterprises to take over the
helm of the Treasury, came full IN
| dorsement today of the Roosevelt
| program.
Il am with the Chief to the end
| Mr.. WooGin told newspaper men from
| his bed, to which he has been confined
/ by a sore throat "Ee is going to lead us
| out Of this situation.
1.-THE policies embraced in the ad-
ministration bills presented in Congress
were arrived at in a series Of converse
| tions between the President and myself
Many of them were suggested by the
Treasury and all of them have my
| thorough Endorsement.
IT am supremely happy in my post
and believe that we are on the right
| path and every measure enacted Sc
| far conduces to the restoration OF
| prosperity"
The day also brought nearer the on
actment of banking reform legislation
! with statements that Senator Glass
! Cemccrat. of VIRGINIA. author of the
legislation. and Chairman Steagall ct
! the House Banking Committee. were in
general agreement on the principles OF
the measure.
1 This bill. which would bar the use OF
| Federal Reserve funds in speculation
and divorce security affiliates from
banking institutions. also Is to contain
limited insurance of deposits pro-
vision.
Down at the Treasury special stan
| worked increasingly over the week end
on methods to release the billions in
deposits still locked up in closed banks
Just how far Mr.. Roosevelt will GO
/ in using the currency imitation authority
provided in the legislation about to go
| through Congress is problematical.
| Many of his advisers believe the mere
grant of authority will go far to force
| fresh stimulus in currency exchange by
| the banks and for voluntary expan-
| sion of credit.
It is certain, however, that Mr.. Roose-
| welt intends to have this brought about
and, if necessary, he will use the au-
thority to be granted him.
| The farm conferees selected by
Speaker Rainey after conference with
Chairman Steagall of the Banking Com
mittee and Chairman Jones OF the Ag-
riculture Committee, are:
Jones of Texas, Fulmer of South
