HOPES FOR UNIFIED
BANKING DW|NDLE
Federal Officials Believe
Success Is Unlikely, De-
spite Compromise.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

Associated Press Financial Writer.
Hopes Of early attainment of q uni
ned banking system, a long sought
goal, are fading in Federal banking
quarters, despite compromise worked
out In the Senate redraft Of the
Eccles bank bill.
After the House baked at forcing
non-member State banks into the
Federal Reserve System as a prerequi-
site to deposit insurance, the Senate
subcommittee sought middle ground In
rewriting the bill by exempting non
member State banks with deposits OF
less than 100000.
That would mean only about e8o
out of some $500 State banks would
have to join the Federal Reserve in
order TO stay In the deposit insurance
fund.
But doubt was expressed In admin
istration quarters whether even that
compromise would get by the House
in conference, assuming the bill as
redrawn by the Glass committee Is ap-
proved In the Senate.
Oppose Forcing State Banks.
Sentiment in the House was saio
to be predominantly against forcing
State banks TO join the Federal Re-
serve via the Federal Deposit Insur-
ance Corp.
Moreover, there has been some ap-
prehension that the deposit insurance
fund might become less attractive if
it were used as club to drive State
banks into the Reserve system.
But officials pointed out the bill
opens the way for progress toward
uniform banking practices under guild
ance of the F. D. I. c.
Outstanding, it was noted, are broad
powers to enforce sound banking prac-
tices among F. D. I. C. members and
to require non-Reserve members in
the insurance fund to adhere to maxi
mum interest rates prescribed by the
Federal Reserve Board.
The latter was inserted in the Sen
ate redraft
Since most banks belong to the in
surance fund, the proposal for uni
form maximum rates on time and
savings deposits among all insured
banks apparently would end worry
over the possibility of destructive COM
petition in returns offered on de-
posits
Believe Entry Unnecessary.
Analysts of the bank bill say a pol
Icy OF conscious control of credit
facilities. as aimed at in the bill,
would not be thwarted If non-member
State banks remain outside the Fed
eral Reserve fold.
The 6.400 banks in the system, it
was said, hold about IS per cent of
the Nations deposits, aside from those
in mutual savings banks.
The entry of non-member State
banks with deposits in excess of
81 ,o00, 900. as provided in the Senate
committee compromise, would lift the
proportion to more than IS per cent.
On basis of year-end figures. it was
calculated total deposits in the Re-
serve system would approximate s37,-
600 .000. 900 out of possible s3s, ,500,-
0o0, 900.
