ECONOMY HITS
LIGHTHOUSES

The lighthouse service is not
exempt, any more than any other
Federal agency. from provisions
Of the various economy measures
recently adopted by Congress,
particularly with respect to the
filling of vacancies, according to
a ruling today by Comptroller
General j. r. McCarl.
The lighthouse service has dur
ing the past year filled some 1913
vacancies, and raising the point
that these appointments were
made as emergency measures and
did not require the approval of
the President. AS result, about
$1OO,804, which would have been
impounded as a result of the re-
qulrement that salaries of posi-
tions vacated shall be impounded,
was utilized for paying the sal
aries of these 1913 incumbents.
The General Accounting Office
asserts that there is no exception
of the lighthouse service from the
general rule, but that adjustments
will be made under authorization
Of the Presidnt.

fairs aired in court.

grand opera singer, will file suit

now in Paris, along with their
brother, Alexis, who is soon to
wed Barbara Hutton, heiress to

As Big Surprise

The Glass-Steagall bank bill,

ing reforms voted by Congress
since the Federal Reserve System
was established 20 years ago, was
before President Roosevelt for
signature today.
The long and bitter fight over

of hackers of the bill and the
Senate-House compromise was
approved.

flung American banking sys-
tem-with the possibility Of q
unified system eventually replac-
ing the historic dual Federal and
State systems-Will flow from
the measure, congressional bank
ing leaders said.
The effect of the measure on
the entire banking system was
declared by experts to be even
more important than the estab.
lishment for the first time Of
a nationwide system of deposl-
tors insurance.
Both Senator Glass Cd OF Vlr"
ginia and Representative Luce
(R.) of Massachusetts,, members
of the conference committees, de-
clared unified control of bank
ing now is possible.
While State banking systems
are preserved under the bill by
being allowed to join the Deposi-
tors Guaranty System, Congress
sional experts say eventually all
banks will enter the Federal Re-
serve System and many State
banks will be replaced by national
institutions.
Subject to Strict Rules
State banks to remain in the
guaranty system must join the
Federal Reserve system by July l,
1896, or be converted into ma"
tional institutions.
Whenever the Federal Deposi-
tors Corporation takes over Q
bank which has failed, it is re-
quired to attempt to form ma
tional bank to take its place,
even though the bank which failed
was a State institution.
And when State banks enter
the Federal Reserve System, they
will be subject to strict regula-
tory powers conferred upon the
Federal Reserve Board.
The Federal Reserve Board Is
given power never before possessed
to require banks to loan money
for commercial purposes, and not
speculation. If a bank is loaning
too much money for stock specu-
lation the Federal Reserve Board
may suspend it.
The reserve board also is given
power to say how much money
bank may loan on stocks or bonds,
but no individual loan may exceed
10 per cent of the capital and
surplus of the bank.
Insurance Provisions.
In an effort to bring all deposits
into the guaranty system-which
insures deposits of $4,000 or less
100 per cent, $4,000 to $4,000, rs
per cent, and over $4,000, SO per
cent-restrictions are placed upon
the postal savings system.
Depositors in the Postal Savings
System who demand their money
without giving so days notice must
forfeit interest. The provision
was placed in the bill, members
of the Conference Committee
frankly said, to discourage use Of
