FOR BANKING BILL

Measure Too Controversial
for Quick Action.
BY the Associated Press.

Chairman Steagall Of the House
Banking Committee threw cold water on
the hopes Of advocates Of the Glass
banking reform bill for passage Of the
measure at this session with a statement
last night that it involves highly con-
troversial provisions and will require
much consideration.
Speaker Garner said the measure
would be referred to the Steagall COM
mittee and added: III we can get a re-
port from the Banking Committee on
the Glass BILL We may possibly get It
before the House." He stressed that ut
is worthy of very careful consideration" !"
After a conference with Garner, Stea-
gall in formal statement said: "Of
course, the Banking and Currency Com
mittee cannot report such a measure
without giving 1t the consideration
which its Importance demands"
1T involves provisions that are highly
controversial and embodies far reaching
changes in our banking laws" he said,
adding the committee hoped to give it
consideration "as soon as practicable
under e1Kisting conditions"
Stegall recalled that several emer-
gency measures, including legislation
for the relief of farmers in danger Of
losing their lands and homes through
mortgage foreclosures" were being con-
sidered ahead of the Glass measure.
