Vote delayed on Glass bill silences bank holding proposal
Washington May 3 Members of a senate banking and currency subcommittee agreed unanimously to defer action on the Glass bank holding company bill for this session. The delay likely kills the measure unless a special session occurs before January. Glass opposed action and said time was insufficient for thorough study. President Roosevelt urged gradual liquidation of holding firms, but Glass’ bill stops short of eliminating them. A large number of witnesses indicated interest in hearings, and the discussion occurred in a closed subcommittee session.
