HOUSING MEASURE
HELD REPUDIATED
House Committee Reports Bill
Favored by Building Loan
Group.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Administration officials said yester-
day the House Banking Committee
had repudiated the Presidents hous-
ing bill by reporting a bill which,
they said, tended to set up a mort
gage monopoly.
J. M. Dagger. financial assistant to
Frank c. Walker, director of the Ma
tional Emergency Council, and in
charge of the housing program in
Walkers absence, said at a press con-
ference, certain elements of building
and loan associations had persuaded
the committee to give them such a
bill.
Supported by Albert L. Deane, as
sistant to w. A. Hartman, special
assistant to Recovery Administrator
Hugh S. johnson, Dagger said the
committee had treated administration
and other supporters of the bill in a
summary fashion, and had accepted
the testimony of building and loan
opponents graciously
Dagger emphasized that his charge
related only to certain elements
within building and loan associations.
In discussing the committees atti-
tude toward administration witnesses,
Dagger said both Democratic and Re-
publican members were antago-
nistic, although some members were
favorable
The House bill in deviating from
the administration proposal, Dagger
said, made such material alterations
that the administration would not be
able to get lower interest rates under
it nor to stimulate housing.

STEAGALL WARNS
VIRGINIA BANKERS
Describes Growing Sentiment in
Congress for Currency
Imitation.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NORFOLK, Va, June 9.-In an
address before the Virginia Bankers
Association at Virginia Beach today,
Representative Henry T. Steagall,
chairman of the House Committee on
Banking and Currency, warned that
there was growing sentiment in
Congress for imitation of Government
currency unless there was an early
resumption of normal banking facili-
ties and bank check operations.
Mr.. Steagall said the Federal Re-
serve System was not functioning
along the lines intended for the de-
velopment of agriculture. industry.
business and commerce He said the
system was meeting the pay roll
through transactions in Government
securities instead of through normal
channels of commerce.
Il am not advocating what I am
suggesting to you bankers" said Mr.
Steagall. But you would be sur
prised at the growing sentiment in
the House and in the Senate for ac-
ton in that direction"
The Representative said that there
was increasing sentiment for the Gov
ernment to take over the normal ia
cilities of the existing banking sys-
tenn unless the banks of the country
quickly resumes the functions for
which they we're established. He said
those functions we're the promotion
of the use of banking credit and bank
check currency.

Roosevelt Requests 500
Million Additional for
Stricken Area.
SIGNING DUE THIS WEEK
FOR HIGHWAY MEASURE
Presidents Message for Aid Coin
cides With Danger of Mid
west Floods.

Hundreds of millions in Federal
funds for building were made
available to the States by Congress
yesterday while President Roosevelt
was asking an additional half-billion
for drought relief in the stricken
States of the Midwest.
The road building program-which
is in addition to the 10000, 900 for
road building made available through
the deficiency bill still pending in the
Senate-is embodied in the bill by
Chairman Cartwright of the House
Roads Committee and will mean the
expenditure of upwards of a billion
dollars if carried out. House and Sem
ate yesterday gave quick approval to
the conference report of the measure
and sent it to the President.
Expectations Exceeded.
Cartwright. according to the Asso-
ciated Press, said the outcome was far
beyond our expectations. His measure
had called for authorization of S460.-
00o. 600 to be spent as Congress saw
fit to appropriate it without the States
having to put up any matching funds.
Although that figure was patted
down to 1924, ,000,0 900, Congress went
much further in providing for con-
tinuing the normal Federal aid pro-
gram in the 1886 and 1887 fiscal years.
To that end, the measure carried au-
thorization for SIPS 000,0 900 to be ap-
propriated each of those years, upon
condition the states match it with an
equal amount.
In addition, for each of the same
two years. $4,000. 900 is provided for
forest highways, s250o.00O for main
roads through public lands, s7,500,000
for roads and trails in national parks
and $4,000 900 for Indian Reservation
roads.
Feeder" Roads Included.
The $4,000 900 that does not have
to be matched includes S200. 900 900
for roads in States. 25 per cent of
which must be spent on so-called
feeder roads unless State laws pro-
hibit, and $2400O,000 for national
park and other government land
roads.
The deficiency appropriation bill
now before the Senate carries $780,
100000 for outright highway alloca-
tions to States. or about half of the
general non-matching road fund
authorized in the Cartwright bill.
In addition, the measure provides
that up to $4,000. 900 may be spent
for emergency construction, such as
roads and structures DESTROYED by
earthquakes or other natural catastro-
phes.
The bill, expected to be signed BY
President Roosevelt the first of this
week. stipulates that a State must
reserve for road building purposes an
amount of receipts from gasoline taxes
at least equal to Federal highway act
specifications. This clause was
prompted by action Of some States the
last year or two in diverting consider
able amounts of gas tax to relief.
President Asks Drought Relief.
The Presidents drought message
conceded with reports of showers and
rains over much of the dry area.
Paradoxically, there was food dan
ger from the Floyd and Big Sioux
Rivers because of heavy rains in
