By ssGRID ARNE

WASHINGTON, Jsn. 3.-No year since 1920 has meant SO much to women, politically, as the one just past.
 Tn 1920 women gained the right to vote.
 In 1893 they obtained appoln5- n1snts to major governmental posi- tions.
 The two most important appoint ments placed the first woman in the cabinet, Secretary Frances Per kins of Labor, and sent the first woman diplomatic envoy to for eign country, Ruth Bryan Owen minister to Denmark.
 New Jcbs for Women
 Phoebe Umlie, member of the national advisory board on aero- nautics, is the first woman in the history of any country to take oveI a government post in connectior with aviation.

 To Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevel perhaps more than to any othe one woman goes the credit for fo cussing public interest on women activities so sharply in 1883. Wit her manifold interests she was il the headlines day after day.
 To Mrs. Charles H. Sabin of Ns' York generally is granted larg share of the credit for the repes victory.
 Included among the women wh hold key positions in the Ne Deal9 machinery are Ross Schnei derman of the national labor ad visory board; Mrs. Mary Harrima Rumsey. chairman of the consum CTS advisory board. and Mrs. Fl len s. Woodward in charge ( women's activities for the Federl Relief Administration

Both men predicted confidently

Win Backing
for Central
Bank Setup
Administration Seeks Goal
by Reserve System Re-
form, Is Hint.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Recov-
cry legislation to convert the Federal
Reserve system into a virtual Cen
trail bank" may be sought by the
Administration in the next session
of Congress, it was learned today.
Measures that would center bank
ing powers in. the Federal Reserve
Board and broaden available credit
for business are being considered.
This program would give the Fed
eral Reserve Board powers to pro-
vide new credit to business through
authority to establish discretionary
rules to determine eligible paper Of
fered for loans at the reserve banks.
The Reserve Board also might as
sumo increased power over the man
agement of the II now de-central-
lied Federal Reserve Banks through
appointment of aggressive" agents
in the banks and appointment of
governors, now selected by the banks
themselves.
The banking legislation program
is to be formulated jointly by the
Federal Reserve Board, Federal De-
post Insurance Corp, Reconstruct
ton Finance Corp. and the Treas
ury. Government officials have been
at variance as to the Importance of
new legislation to be sought. but it
is indicated it may be revolution
ary."
Easing of eligibility rules on paper
which member banks may rediS-
count at Federal Reserve banks may
be used as a lever to pump more
billions of credit to business.
A high Administration official said
many banks are reluctant to make
loans when their short term assets
are so limited that they might i'm
pair their liquidity. Under the new
plan long term home or farm mort
cages or long term industrial notes
and municipal tax warrants would
indirectly be made available for re-
discount at the discretion of the
Federal Reserve Board.
