Federa| Reserve boart
Urges Curb on Bank
Holding Companies
By the Associated Press.

DE- NiiS hesoIAolCN EiCoS.
Immediate legislation to prevent
further expansion of bank holding
companies or creation Of new ones
was recommended today by the Fed
eral Reserve Board.
In its annual report to Congress
the board declared that bank hold
ing companies should be limited to
the banking business and that their
activities should be regulated like
those of the banks they control.
The board said that the bank
holding company device had been
used to gather under one manage
ment many different kinds of enter
pyises wholly unrelated to the
banking business"
This, it said, is contrary to accept
ed rules of law which confine the
business of banks to banking and
prohibit them from other businesses
such as owning and operating in
dustrial and manufacturing con-
Germs. Such a company should be
required, the board asserted, to be-
come either a bank holding COM
pany or an investment company
The device of the holding COM
pany has been used in some cases
the board said, to escape supervision
of agencies that regulate banks since
a holding company can do certain
things forbidden to a bank.
The resources of large bank hold
ing companies sometimes have been
used, the board added, to acquire
independent banks "by measures
which leave the local management
and minority share holders little
with which to defend themselves
except thir own strenuous protests. v
The board reiterated several times
that it was talking about "excep-
tional cases" and that holding COM
pany arrangements on the whole
have been cooperative

Stock Prices Strive
To Retain Upswing,
But Many Stall
By VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK. May 2.-The stock
market today tried to keep Mon
days selective rally going, but, while
scattered issues made the grade,
many leaders were stalled by light
profit selling.
Prices were at their best and &C
tivity most pronounced in the fore
noon. Volume then slackened and
trends began to waver. The result
was considerable irregularity near
the close. Transfers for the full
proceedings were around 100000
shares.
Investors seemed a bit more con-
fident, in the light of pleasing divi-
dends and assorted favorable earn
ings forecasts. There also was less
apprehension over possible invasion
repercussionS on the list which, 1t
was felt, was now in pretty good
shape to meet eventualities. There
vas some hesitancy, however, by
those still inclined to maintain a
cash position pending the European
push Others held aloof to await
returns from the Florida and Ala
bama primaries.

was disclosed this company had

amount to much, in itself, but
it does prove there actually is
crude oil in the heart of the
Rocky mountains. Some day
someone viii do something about
it.
Within the past few months,
we've been a bit embarrassed
by running into other biologists
who've asked us queer questions
Such as the one who asked
if it weren't a fact that exposed
Ordovician and Devonian rocks
in the Rockies, directly west of
the shallow fields of the Sweet
grass arch, are distinctly petro-
liferous. We had to admit they
were.
We also had to admit these
same rocks reasonably might be
expected to continue a few miles
out on the arch, beneath fields
now producing from more shall
low horizons.
But, for the life of US, we
couldn't explain satisfactorily to
him why no real attempts had
been made to test these deeper
beds in the immediate vicinity
of producing shallow fields. We
lamely suggested maybe 1t was
because satisfactory profits were
being made from the shallow
wells, and no one thought 1t
worth while TO go past the top
of the Madison lime.
Under questioning, we had to
admit that some very nice light
oil and some very heavy gas
pressure HAD been found by
a deep well In the Kevin-Sun-
burst field, from what was prob
ably a break in the Devonian.
The well proved unmanageable,
tossing tools up the hole and
acting In a very uncouth man
ner, SO 1t was finally abandoned.
And everyone gave sigh of
relief. Who wants TO fool around
with troublesome high pressureg
when you can make money
punching down shallow holes?
He didn't seem very convinced.
And neither do q lot of others
TO whom we have talked re-
Gently.
They seem to have no respect
