Roosevelt Thursday night.
They had expected to begin
opening banks today.
The law gave the President die
tatorial power over banks and pro-
vided for hundreds of millions of
new currency.
Shortly yer midnight, Secre-
tary of e easury Woodin announced
that no / Openings would be author
lied before Saturday.
1T is obvious that it will not be
possible to act upon all applica-
lions even by Saturday" he added,
inviting the banks to ask permis-
sion Immediately to reopen.
Two Reasons for Delay
When the banks open under the
new law, Woodin said, they will be
placed in position to meet all de-
mands."
The delay is reopenings was due
to two main reasons:
l. Checking the condition of
banks to determine which should
be opened up at once is taking more
time than was anticipated.
2. Time is being allowed for state
banks to join the federal reserve
system to obtain the benefits grant,
ed under the emergency legislation,
which permits wider latitude in OBJ
tanning new money.
Meantime, the government en-
craving bureau here was running
off new money at the rate of $780,
100000 a day to supply reopened
banks.
Washington put in one Of its most
hectic peace time nights.
Signed by Roosevelt
At 1925 p. m. the emergency bill
reached the White House. It had
been passed by congress with record
speed, following a short, emphatic
message from President Roosevelt

Roosevelt, surrounded by his lam-

powers.
Two hours later he issued the
proclamation extending the bank
holiday.
This was necessary to proclaim
officially the emergency and to per-
nit the new legislation to function
since by the terms of the statute it
is operative only during periods Of
proclaimed emergency.

Has the Interstate Commerce

broiled in q bitter wrangle at last?
Designation of Commissioner
Frank McManamy as the COM
mission representative on tn e
Presidents railroad transporta-
ton committee would indicate so.
McManamy's election, accord

quainted with Interstate Com
merce affairs, was a direct blow
at Commissioner Claude r. Por-
ter, directed by a bloc of older
members of the commission re-
sentful of Porter's leadership of
younger and more progressive
members.
Since Porter was chairman Of
the commissions legislative COM
mittee and is generally credited
with frustrating transfer of six
commission bureaus to the De-
partment of merce last
spring. it was taken for granted
by younger members of the COM
