President Is
Given Wide
Sound Banks
Will Reopen
Congress Acts On Measure After
Address By President
Roosevelt
Bit Authorizes Issuance OF New
Currency Immediately Against
Government Bonds

Congress passed the Roosevelt
emergency bill last night, by an
overwhelming majority, following
a request by the president earlier
in the day. The bill was immedia-
tely sent to the president and was
signed at 8:37.
The bill gave the president broad
powers over the banks, authority to
reduce expenditures and also per-
mission to proceed with public
mAloymens
All banks, considered solvent,
will be permitted to reopen, it was
stated. The comptroller of the
currency would determine the
soundness of the banks.
Henry T. Rainey, new speaker of
the house, and Vice-President John
Nance Garner, of the senate, pre-
sided over the two bodies of con-
gress. Crowds packed the galleries
to hear the presidential message
read, while he remained at work at
his white house desk.
"Our first task is to reopen all
sound banks" he declared; and
went at once into his immediate
emergency plan-"I ask of the con-
gress the immediate enactment of
legislation giving to the executive
branch of the government control
over banks for the protection of
depositors; authority forthwith to
open such banks as have already
been ~ascertained to be found in
sound condition and other such
banks as rapidly as possible; and
authority to reorganize and reopen
such banks as may be found to re-
quire reorganization to put them ON
a sound basis.
II ask amendment to the federal
reserve act to provide for such ad-
ditional currency, adequately Sc
cured, as it may become necessary
to issue to meet all demands for
currency and at the same time to
achieve this end without increasing
the unsecured indebtedness Of the
government of the United States.
II can not too strongly urge
upon the congress the clear neces-
sity for immediate action"
The president called those re-
commentators ian essential pre-
liminary to subsequent legislation
directed against speculation with
the funds of depositors."
The president will soon request
congress to enact two other meas
ures "of immediate urgency'-pro-
posals believed in Democratic ranks
at the capitol to be power to reduce
government costs, including veter-
ans funds; and to provide $780,
100000 or 50 for public projects
