NEW YORK. December 2s.-In
Wall Street banking circles opinion
remains sharply divided - to inten-
tions Of the Federal Reserve Board
with respect to excess bank reserves.
Until the Treasury announced its
program for sterilizing imported gold
as q measure Of credit control It was
widely expected the Reserve Board
shortly would again move to cut ex-
cess reserves by ordering member
banks to increase their reserves with
the regional banks Of the system.
To some experts 1t appeared the
sterilization move would be . sum-
cient check on credit expansion to
obviate the need for IN increase IN
