Amended Money Bill Advances in House Currency Debate
Washington August 4 Democrats on the House banking and currency committee largely finished studying the administration currency bill after weeks of tense debate. The measure, similar to the Glass led plan, keeps government control of the Federal Reserve Board. An addendum creates an advisory banking board, while rediscount and earnings provisions shift funds to the government and member banks. The reserve requirement drops to 60 days and interlocking directorates are dropped. Palmer forecasts smooth progress for the bill.
