F. D. I.C. Ends Need
For Postal SAVINGS,
Says Steaga||
System Not Needed Now,
He Asserts in Praise
Of Insurance Set-up

By the Associated Press.
PATERSON, N. j., Nov. IT,
Chairman Steagall, Democrat, Of
Alabama of the House Banking
Committee said last night that
establishment of the Federal De-
post Insurance Corp had removed
every reason for the postal savings"
system.
In an address before a meeting
Of New Jersey, New York and
Pennsylvania bankers, Mr.. Steagall
said the postal savings law was
enacted as measure of protection
to small depositors and the new
system of insuring bank deposits
had ended the need for that system.
There are now in the postal saw
ings system a billion and a quarter
deposits that are withdrawn from
normal usage. In a certain sense
these deposits are sterilized."
Mr.. Steagall urged greater "elas-
ttcity" for the Federal Reserve Act
and suggested that insurance of in
dividual bank deposits by the F. D.
I. c. be increased from the present
$4,000 maximum to $4,000. Greater
protection could be carried without
increasing appreciably the burden
upon the F. D. I. c. and'without ad-
ditional assessments on the partici-
pating banks, he said.
Mr.. Steagall said the Federal Re-
serve should be liberalized in every
detail of it's operation so as to make
membership in the system attrac-
tive not only to national banks, but
to all banks, large and small.
Every unnecessary restriction or
interference with the management
of member banks and every limi-
tation or requirement resulting in
the curtailment of their legitimate
service or earnings should be avoid
ed. I should like to see the system
so organized and administered that
no bank could afford not to be
member of II"
