BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

President Roosevelt will ask
Congress to grant him broad
power to deal with the fast-shlft-
ing banking and financial situa-
ton.
In the special message which
he will send to the extraordinary
session of the new Seventy-third
Congress tomorrow, the President
intends to point out that the sit
uation is changing so fast in
various sections Of the country
that only a broad authority in
the Executive can meet it.
Scrip Seen Unnecessary
Illustrative of the changing sit
uation from day to day, almost
from hour to hour. it was pointed
out that on Monday there was
almost universal agree n t
among bankers and Government
officials that extensive issues of
scrip would be necessary to cope
with the situation.
Conditions are now considered

Broad Power in Solving Bank Problem,

the various clearing house asso'
Citations, will not be necessary.
What scrip is issued probably
will be on a small.community
basis, and adapted entirely to
local needs, according to present
plans.
Brief Session Likely
Mr.. Roosevelt will send his
message to the Congress tomor.
row in writing.
In common with the Democratic
leaders he does not believe it
will be necessary for the session
to continue beyond the end Of
this week. The emergency legis-
lation he proposes to ask can, if
essential speed is applied, be
worked out in a couple Of days.
The plan is then to recess for
several weeks while the President
and the leaders sit down to the
serious business of drafting a COM
prehensive legislative program
that will carry out the platform
pledges Of the Democratic party
including Governmental reorgani-
zation, economy, the legalization
of beer, etc.

to have receivedd at least $780,.

formity with the regulations is

Treasury Woodin.
Governor Lehman had assured

AL Smith on Job
Alfred E. Smith, former gov
ernor Of New York, was preparing,
meanwhile, to serve as chairman
of the Emergency Certificate Cor
poration Of New York, authorized
to distribute scrip. The distribu-
tion, if it becomes necessary, prob
ably will not begin before next
week.

banks also is losing favor.
The difficulties inherent in any
form Of guaranty proposal are
considered almost inSurmountable.
Common Objection
The most common objection is
thta it would place a premium
on "bad banking" and "incom-
petent management" but another
basic objection from the stand
point of the States is that it
would virtually drive State banks
out Of existence.
The National Governmen t
could not guarantee State bank
deposits, and to expect these in.
StitutionS to compete against
governmentally guaranteed ma
tional banks would be futile.
President Roosevelt held his
first press conference with Wash
1ngton correspondents today.
More than a hundred Of them
crowded into the big circular Of
flee where he sat at a desk smok-
ing a cigarette in a long holder.
He announced at the outset
that direct quotation was forbid
den, and that he planned to con-
duct the press conference like an
enlarged edition" of the confer.
ences he held with correspondents
at Albany. Fro mtime to time,

Alfred Smith Heads the New
Corporation Which Is Ready
To Work "At Once"

NEW YORK, March 8 (I.N.S.)

ut this time"
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman so
expressed himself when apprised
of the news from washington
that no scrip would be sanctioned
by the Federal Government as a
circulating medium in the United
States.
The news from Washington
came shortly before Governor
Lehman-at noon-went into
conference with Former Gov. Al
fred E. Smith, chairman, and the
four other directors Of the Emerg.
ency Certificate Corporation Of
New York, the new State organi-
zation authorized by the legisla-
ture last night to distribute scrip.
Bill Already Signed
Governor Lehman announced
he had signed the bill creating
the new scrip corporation.
Governor Lehman said the bill
provided for not less than 10 direc-
tors nor more than 20. The five
directors he already appointed are
the incorporators of the corpora
tion and will elect other directors
subject to the governors approval.
AS CAP Smith came to the con-
ference at the governors home, he
said to photographers grouped
about him:

Use Of Scrip on National Scale Loses
FAVOR as Crisis Is More Closely Studied

Mr.. Roosevelt does not want
Congress "fiddling around" with
little to occupy it's time while the
tedious work Of drafting the pro.
gram and harmonizing conflicting
views is in progress.
Such a program, of course, can
not possibly be drafted in the
short intervening time before Con
gress meets.
The use Of scrip on a broad ma.
t1onal scale in the current bank
ing emergency has been steadily
losing in favor here for the last
48 hours.
This has been largely due to
the difficulties encountered in
adapting it to smooth and cur.
rent use across State lines and
between the various clearing
house districts.
For Currency Expansion
Instead the Administrations
thoughts are now turning more to
currency expansion through the
Federal Reserve System and
through national bank notes.
Under the provisions of the last
GlasS-Steagall bill, national banks
were authorized to issue notes
against their holdings in Govern
ment bonds to the amount OF
something over a billion dollars.

HOUSE LEADERS
ALSO DECIDE To
USE CAUCUS
Large Working Majority Will
Enable Them to Speed
New Legislation

Democratic leaders of the House
today indicated they will follow
the example of the Senate and in
woke caucus rule to carry out
President Roosevelt's program.
The opening of the special ses-
sion of the Seventy-third Congress
tomorrow, with a Democratic ma
jority of 191 in the House, finds
the rank and file ready to back
the Presidents emergency finan-
cial measures.
But with new members bringing
a multitude of novel proposals to
solve the economic situation, lead
ers admit they face a task in pre-
serving harmony among the 313
Democrats.
Another step toward organiza-
tion is the caucus, which will
choose members Of the Ways and
Means Committee, which in turn
names other committees.
1--WE Must Keep Faith"
A veteran progressive Demo
crat, Representative Howard of
Nebraska, joined in the demand
for caucus rule, which springs
chiefly from organization leaders.
He said:
81 favor a caucus on every
promise made in the Democratic
national platform. We must
keep faith with the people.
During the session just closed,
Democratic leaders invoked the
caucus to insure defeat of the Re
publican deprecated currency bill
and to insure adoption of the pro-
hibition repeal amendment.
Steering Committee Chosen
In an effort to preserve har-
mony, the caucus has authorized
appointment of q steering com
mittee to act with leaders in de.
termining the will of the House.
When the special session opens
the Democrats will elect Repre-,
sentative Henry T. Rainey of IL
linois, Speaker over the Repub-
lican choice, Representative Smell
of New York.
Preparing for the session, the
Republican committee on commit
tees will meet tomorrow to fill
Republican committee vacancies.
Because of the large Demo
cratic membership on all commit
tees but Ways and Means, Rules,
and Appropriations will be in
creased.

ever, that it may not be necessary

that Federal Reserve is making
cash available for necessities be-
cause regional clearing house
scrip might possibly be non

Must Prove PayrOlIS
Employers, seeking cash at the
banks to meet payrolls, were
asked to submit certified copies
Of their payrolls.
The service given by the Corn
Exchange Bank and its branches
was typical of that Of other
banks. An official explained:
1--WE cashed payroll checks
yesterday and are doing so to-
day, as we are trying to live
up to the spirit of the Treasury
Department regulations.

Issuance of scrip still awaited
authority from washington. Los
Angeles has applied for permis.
sion to put $50,000,000 of scrip

Payroll Checks CaShed
Banks in Washington State

cluding the cashing Of personal
checks up to $25 under restric-

pected to open today to. render

who in turn used the orders to
pay obligations.
