SENATE AT WORK

WASHINGTON, March 9. President Roosevelt's En- ergency Banking Bill, submit ted to Congress carrying out h is program for controlled expansion of currency and resumption of normal bank ing under his regulation, was immediately given to the Sem ate Banking Committee which started to labor through the complexities of the mammoth revision bill with the aim to get it ready for Senate action by tonight.
 House leaders a Is o made preparations for expediting the legislation.
 The bill, if passed, which is prac- tically certain, will bring war time powers to the President in regard to the present situation.
 Bonus Certificates
 Although veterans bonus certifi- cates constitute a pledge of the Government to pay, Administration officials said they will not be ex- changed by banks holding them as collateral for loans for currency. A brief authoritative description by Senator who studied the bill, but not the Administration ex- planation of the emergency meas ure follows:

BANK OPENINGS NOW PROPOSED

 Congress URGES NECESSITY
 FOR QUICK WORK
.Resum ption of Normal Business Activities
 Predicted

WASHINGTON, March g.. President F Il k Ii n D. Roosevelt, in a message to Congress this afternoon, pro- posed immediate opening of all sound banks and provis- ions for currency expansion during the banking reorgani- zation period.
 The seventy-third Congress was called in extraordinary session at noon today to en- act legislation to immediately relieve the banking situation. TLis is the last. day of the banking holiday under the Roosevelt proclamation.
 President Roosevelt in his message said:
 q cannot too strongly urge upon Congress the clear ne- cessity for immediate action. :"
 The President declared that he would request from Congress, at an early moment, the enactment of two other measures he regards as of immediate urgency
 It is understood in Capital quart CTS these refer to granting the President power to cut Federal ex- penses drastically, including those attached to the Veterans expendi- lures, also getting to work on a huge public building program to provide employment.
 To Lift Doubts
 The President in his message today further said.
 Tt is my belief that banking legislation will not only lift im- mediately all unwarranted doubts and suspicious as regards to banks, which are 100 per cent sound, but also marks the beginning of new relationship between banks and the people of this country.
 First Task
 Our first task is to reopen all sound banks. ask Congress for immediate enactment of legislation giving the Executive branch con- trol over banks for the protection of depositors, and authority to re- open such banks as already have been ascertained to be in a sound condition, and such other banks as rapidly as possible and authority to reorganize and reopen banks as may be found to require reorgan- ization to put them on a sound basis.

AN APPRECIATION

1t was the writer's privilege and
pleasure to have been present at the
smoker given by the Libby Chapter
RAM in Masonic Hall last Tuesday
night, when the local high school or
chestra furnished program Of selec-
tions under the able direction OF Prof
Beardsley.
The program was as follows
Observation-Disclosures
Clarinet Duet--Billy Martin and Flu
gene Butt
Violin Solo-Bobby Bigelow.
Observation-Disclosures
Violin Trio-Richard Neils, Betty Ann
Smithberger and Gloria Mortenscn.
Instrumental Trio-Bobby Davidson
and Oscar Fields, trumpets, and Mary
Lenore Martin, saxaphone
Violin Trio-Elizabeth Dwinelle, Hal
dis Hansen and Borghill Rolset
Finale-Orchestra
To try to pick out any outstanding
artist among the young players Is be-
yond my ability, as each and every one
showed remarkable talent and per-
formed with the sangfroid of old sea-
soned troupers.
When we consider the fact that this
organization has been in existence but
a little over two months, many Of the
players youngsters around 13 to ID
years, with several considerably under
that age, with no previous musical edu-
cation or experience, their performance
is the more remarkable. To those who
have had the training Of these young
players, you have created something
that is almost unreliable, and for
your patience and faithfulncss you de-
serve the hearty support and congratu-
lations of every citizen Of Libby
To those who had the opportunity
and failed to attend, well, you certainly
missed something well worth while.
The City of Libby and the high
school, (however, since the majority of
the young musicians arc from the
grade school, rather than the high
school, the name, High School Orch
estra" is a misnomer), should be mighty
proud to have an organization such as
this, and we should give them every
support within our ability
/, for one, am mighty glad I had the
opportunity Of hearing these young
players and sincerely hope that they
continue to appear in public where
every citizen will have the same OPP
portunity. Youngsters, YOU were great. |
