POINT ON BANKS
WON BY CLASS


The New Deal faced another
test this week, on the vital issue
Of a new national banking policy.
Against it stood peppery Senator
Carter Glass of Virginia. With it
fought Governor Mariner S. &c.
cles Of the Federal Reserve Board,
a rich man with what many call
radical ideas.
Closed sessions Of the Senate
Banking Committee will provide
the arena for the battle. Open
hearings on the bill were to be
concluded today. The sparks will
fly when the committee closets
itself, away from prying eyes and
ears, to whip the legislation into
final form.
Senator Glass wants to elimi-
nate from the bill the provision
centralizing Federal Reserve Board
control in the Government. Mr..
EccleS wants to retain it.
President Roosevelt is willing to
compromise with Senator Glass
in order to assure speedy passage
Of the legislation once it reaches
the Senate floor, but will fight
against giving in completely. The
reported concession would give
Fideral Reserve bank governors a
voice in open market operations.
AS now drafted, the bill centers
market operation control entirely
in the Reserve Board itself.
