If your bank suddenly failed
tomorrow, the giant Federal De-
post Insurance Corp. couldn't
come to the rescue Immediately
with as much as penny.
Sure, the FDIC has $3.50, 000,-
900 in cash to back up bank de-
posts. 1t insures individual de-
posts up to $4,000 against loss.
But a squabble called plea
yunish" by Senator Fulbright
Democrat, of Arkansas, has tied
up the FDIC so it can't pay out
the money, or even make routine
decisions.
Here's the way it stands:
The corporation is supposed to
have three directors. The law
says a quorum-at least two Of
them-must approve paying out
of funds when a bank gets in
financial trouble.
But right now, at least techni-
cally, the FDIC has only one di-
rector. Terms of the other two

Senate SquobbIe Leaves FDIC
HELPLESS to Act if Banks Fail

Earl Cook, expired September S.
President Truman sent ther new
term nominations to the Senate
August 80, but a subcommittee
has held up approval.
Most laws have a provision COW
ering such emergencies. They say
an official shall serve for a Ger
tain term or until his successor is
duly qualified.
But the FDIC law, rewritten by
Congress in 1850. doesn't have
such a provision. 1t merely fixes
directors terms at six years
nothing about serving until a
successor is qualified.
So Mr.. Harl and Mr.. Cook, al
though still on the job. are not
drawing pay and legally can't join
in official decisions of the Board
of Directors.
The third director. Preston
Delano. controller of the currency,
can and does sign the payroll for
the rest of the staff and take care
of operations which the full board
doesn't have to approve.
Behind all this is dispute over
States rights.
Some State banking commits
sioners have complained that an
FDIC requirement on the ratio
between capital and deposits is in
conflict with State laws. They say
the FDIC overstepped it's author
ity.
This is the dispute termed
"picayunish" by Senator Fulbright
during hearings on September 13
of a Senate Banking Subcomnit-
tee on the reappointments. The
subcommittee. headed by Senator
Frear, Democrat, of Delaware has
held up action until the question
can be threshed out.
