New York. March 1.-The American Bankers association has proposed a plan of action to state bankers associations in every state aimed to enable, bankers to extend greater group Cooperation with the government along such lines as may prove desirable in dealing with the problems of the period of banking reconstruction that is at hand" The plan proposes the transformation of many existing county and district bankers asso- citations into clearing house asso- ciations along lines now being pur- sued actively in New York under the guidance of the state agsocia- tion. |
 The national association states that for several years Its Dank management commission has CO., operated witt, state associations in promoting organization of both city and regional clearing house associa tions and is prepared to furr nish complete plans for, initiating, organizing and operating them. The full statement, issued to the secre- taries of the state associations through the state secretaries sec- tion of the American Bankers as- sociation by Frank W. Simmonds, secretary of the section, is as fol- lows:
 'In New York state and else- where there is a well defined movement actively under way to transform county and district bank CTS associations into regional clear ing house associations for the pur- pose of making them more effec- tive Instruments in dealing with the problems of the period of banking reconstruction that is at hand. The bank management conn., mission of the American Bankers association in cooperation with the state associations for several years has promoted and brought about the formation of many clearing house associations both of the city and regional type and has formu- lated complete plans for initiating, organizing and operating such as- sociations.
 "well organized local. city and regional clearing house associationa in all parts of the country are es- sentia1 for setting up and putting into operation smeasures f<. the solution of the banking situation in cooperation with the government and such agencies as it may de- velop. We believe such local groups can be of effective service both to the public and to banking as cen. ters for receiving and distributing among their members accurate in formation regarding regulations and procedure both for depositors and for the banks under the emer- gency program now being develop ed for the country.
 Therefore we believe that this is an opportune time for such groups of bankers as are not now organized into regional clearing house associations to consider the advisability of so organizing by counties or groups of counties ac- cording to local conditions. These, groups are not based on plans for issuing clearing house certificates or even on the ordinary clearing operations among banks, but rather they function in behalf of better, banking methods. increased coop, eration among bankers and im-i proved relations with the public.

However, the democrats are out numbered on the committee due to the large representation of house republicans on that body. This means that the approprtat tons for the next two years will be re. ported as the republicans see fit, unless a compromise can be af- fected.

 Federal reserve banks resumed
 operations to. day in various parts
 of the country and tackled the
 proposition of supplying additional tcurrency to associated banks. Wa terbury is receiving a large sum of
 new currency, but as a matter of official fact this city does not need it. It's arrival in Waterbury is only
 an incidental transaction, according Ito a semi-official statement ob- tained to-day When the word is given by Governor Wilbur l.. Cross and the state banking commission CT and all banks have complied
 with the new federal regulations they will be permitted to reopen. Every bank in Waterbury will lopen at the same time.. There will be no hitch in the plan.

This is in conformity with President Roosevelt's policy. The other banks of the city, the West Side Savings bank, the Dime Sav. mugs bank and the Waterbury Saw ings bank are not required or el- |igibie for membership in the fed eral reserve system. The industrial banks also come under state super vision.
 A conference of Waterbury bank CTS was held this morning. Lewis Is. Reed, executive vice president of the Citizens & Manufacturers' Na- ltional Bank and a member of Gov .ernor Cross special advisory com- mittee attended the session. From lall indications Waterbury awaits only the official signal.
 Banks of the city were open to- day to carry on the adopted scheme \ of yesterday of accepting payroll checks of large denominations and exchanging them f or a limited Eamount of cash and checks of 1smaller denominations. Holders of safe deposit boxes had access to stheir compartments. Bank officials made arrangements to accommo- Fdate q number of requests for fi- snancial assistance in cases of emer- 5gency. sickness and petitions for flood allowance.
 The fact that merchants were permitted yesterday to obtain lim- gited amounts of change caused a of the policy of smanagers of several chain stores snot to accept change.
