we nave lldu tWO noteworthy
changes in our money and bank
ing system within one week.
First was the order of President
Kennedy stopping the sale of
silver by the Treasury Depart
ment and the promise to request
the Congress to permit the Fed
eral Reserve Banks to print one
and two dollar paper bills. Sc
cond is the ruling of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation
authorizing commercial banks to
pay up to 4 percent interest on
time deposits. Almost all loans
private or governmental-re-
suit in a demand deposit, al
though of course ordinary checks
or cash also may be used to
create a demand deposit. And
such funds. as the name indi-
Gates, are payable upon demand
by means of a check.
In contrast. time deposits, or
savings deposits. never result
from a loan. They represent
funds which the owners prefer to
put away for later use. One new
er gets a loan and deposits the
proceeds in a time deposit for
the simple reason that the in
terest he would have to pay on
the loan would be more than he
can receive on the deposit. Fur
thur, time or savings deposit
can not be transferred by
checks. One has to appear at the
bank himself or have a duly au-
thorized agent appear. and pre-
sent a withdrawal form. Finally,
time and saving deposits, under
the law, may not be withdrawn
except by previous notice. In
practice it no longer is necessary
to give such notice. but the
banks have the authority to de-
mand this notice if they so de-
sire.
These differences have many
ramifications on the operations
of the banks and the regulatory
agencies. Demand deposits must
be invested only in self-liquidat-
ing loans or short-term paper for
which there is an immediate
market: time and saving de-
posts may be invested. and us
ually are, in long-term paper,
such as bonds and mortgages.
The legal reserves which a bank
must hold are always much
higher for demand than for time
deposits.
In the old days it was custom
airy for commercial banks to pay
interest on demand deposits. In
the early part of President
RoOsevelt'S administration this
was prohibited by law, and since
then a bank could pay only on
time deposits. The rate which
may be paid is determined by
the Federal Reserve Board for
its members and by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation
for other banking institutions.
The maximum rate was 2 per
cent from 1885 until 1857, when
it was raised to 3 percent. 1t
has now been lifted to percent.
We use the term, maximum
rate. because not only does it
represent the highest that a
bank may pay, but also it means
that the deposit must be for at
least one year. For shorter dura-
tons the rate is lower.
The Federal Reserve Board
said that there were three rea-
sons for making the change: To
enable commercial banks to
compete more effectively with

-. Is Cuueht
In Christmas Jumi
BY GEORGE KENNEDY
Here we go again!

Here we go again!
On Friday just before noon
the Rambler was in a taxi
cab that became caught in
the crowd downtown.
1t took two or three min
utes to clear every red light.
Drivers ahead wishing to
make a right turn had to
wait until the croSSwalk on
the right cleared.
The air was Shrill with po-
lice whistles. Every busy cor
ner had two or more police
men but they were hard put
to keep things moving.
Most of them are rockies"
said the taxi driver, getting
their first taste of traffic in
the Christmas rush. It's
pretty tough on them.
with school out today the
mothers are bringing the
kids to see Santa Claus. They
are starting their Christmas
shopping at the annual day
after1ThankSgiving sales"
The Rambler got out and
walked, from Woedie'S corner
to the Press Club. The Christ
mas spirit was much in evil
dence. F street is garlanded
with criSS-croSS ropes on tin
sci stretched across it from
building to building.
From every Salvation Army
booth the strains of Christ
mas hymns were amplified.
Do you remember when the
lads and lassies, appealing
for coins in the kettle, rang
a bell? Or on busy corners a
trio of braSSes, trombone,
trumpet and French horn?

Of River Dams Hearing

The Co-Ordinating Commit

the sponsoring groups of a con-
troversial public meeting to be
held tomorrow night on Poto-
mac River dam construction
plans.
The Executive Committee
voted to pull out of the meet
ing today, following the lead
Of the Committee Of 100 on
the Federal City which with
drew last week.
The public meeting, which
will give the Corps of Engi-
.neers an opportunity to explain
four alternate plans for dam
construction throughout the
river basin, is to be held at
8 pm. tomorrow at the De-
partmental Auditorium.
The meeting has been called
a hearing in reverse" and OBJ
iections have been raised that

bate on the pros and cons of
the various plans being pre-
sented. The Corps of Engineers
will make a specific recommen-
dation to Congress next June.

was doing so because the hear
ing was recognized as a ridicu-
lous attempt to muzzle the
public and to prevent a full
and open discussion"
Mr.. Gabrielson's statement
noted that the Corps of Engi-
neers was aware that its plans
are controversial and would re-
ceive opposition from residents
of the Potomac River Basin.
Tomorrow's meeting is be-
ing co-ordinated by the Citi-
zen's Council for a Clean Po-
tomac and the Washington
Metropolitan Regional confer
ence. 1t is to be one of six
such meetings to be held
throughout the Potomac River
Valley and some Is organiza-
tions have been listed as spon-
sors of the meeting here.
Mrs. Ann c. Bailey, executive
secretary of the Citizens Coun-
Gil for a Clean Potomac. said
today that there has been some
confusion over the nature of
tomorrow nights meeting.
She said it is intended that
the full presentation be made
by Spokesmen for the Corps of
Engineers and other juriSdic-
tions involved in the plans.
During the presentation those
in the audience are requested
to write down questions they
wish answered after the for
NAL presentation.
Once the written questions
are answered other questions
will be taken up from the
floor, Mrs. Bailey said.
