the old Radio Commission, and its
chief counsel, Paul D. p. Spearman,
q former assistant chief counsel Of
the Radio Commission, together with
a few minor oficias.
Posts to Be Filled.
Remaining to be filled, in addition
to many clerkships and minor posts,
are nearly a dozen non-civil service
positions of key importance. The
commissioners have been given lists Of
the candidates and are now studying
them. These appointments require
expert knowledge and ability SO that
the men are being chosen slowly.
Politics, of course. will be taken into
consideration in the selections, and
the Endorsement Of the Democratic
powers will probably be needed In
most, If not all instances.
The appointment of DR.. c. B. Jol-
life, former chief engineer Of the
Radio Commission, TO the $4,000 post
as F. G. C. chief engineer Is now re-
garded as q practical certainty because
of his high technical qualifications.
At least two of his three $500 aides
will be Andrew D. Ring, former Radio
Commission broadcast engineer, and
Lieut.. e. K. Jett, former Radio Com
mission assistant chief engineer. Ring
will be assigned to the broadcast di-
visions and Jet to the telegraph
divisions
The third engineering post has as
chief candidates william @. H. Finch,
engineering executive Of Hearst's
American Radio News Corp, and Lieut..
Comdr. e. M. Webster. radio chief Of
the Coast Guard. Comdr. Webster
also is being considered for the $500
post as director Of the broadcast di-
vision, although strongly backed politi-
cally for that post is Capt. Roger Yeo-
mans, former Army Signal Corps Of
ficer and a former official of the A.
T. & T. Co. For director of the tele-
phone division, A. G.. Patterson, former
president and chief investigator Of the
Alabama Public Service Commission,
lately working with Senator Black on
air and ocean mail contracts, appears
the leading candidate.
Finch Is also on the LSt OF canol-
dates for director of the telegraph di-
vision, which list also includes Robert
BARLEY of Texas, now secretary to
w. M. w. Splawn of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and q nephew
of Representative Rayburn Of Texas,
coauthor Of the communications law.
Chief Counsel Spearman's three
$500 aides must be chosen from q
long list of lawyer candidates. George
B. Porter, former acting chief counsel
of the Radio Commission, is regarded
as the likely selection for legal assign
ment in the broadcast division. Fanney
Neyman of the old Radio Commis-
sion's law staff, who once was secre-
tary to Senator Walsh Of Montana
and who bears the Endorsement OF
Senator Wheeler, is a strong candi-
date for one of the other division legal
posts as is Albert Stephan, an exam
iner of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, who was clerk of the Senate
Committee which drafted the COM
munications act.

The reserve banks have increased
their holdings Of Government Securi-

year. Reporting member banks hold

other banks would add $500 900 600.
The Nation apparently is far from

but. in the opinion of many observers,
not far enough to be immune. Black,

"high-powered credit" has consist
emily sought legislation that would
curb unhealthy expansion auto
matically.
At the last Congress he asked that
reserve requirements be based on
velocity of deposit turnover. but Con-
gress decided otherwise.
Instead, 1t gave the Reserve Board
discretionary power to raise reserve
requirements in an emergency. This
agreed with the ideas of some admin
istration economists who question the
desirability of automatic control.
Fear Political Considerations.
Many bankers who would like to see
reserve requirements based on turn
over velocity believe political consid-
erations might hamper the exercise Of
purely discretionary authority in boom
times. Curbing credit expansion,
they point out, is always unwelcome.
The same criticism Is directed at
the authority to raise rediscount rates,
which, critics assert, failed to curb
the 1929 boom
A third method open to the re-
serve banks is sale of their Govern
ment bonds, but financial observers
believe that to find a market for such
large quantities might be difficult
under some circumstances.
Both this and the raising Of redis-
count rates would have an adverse
affect on the securities markets, and
in the past such actions have been
met with the cry of defiation.
