Banking control measure doubtful in new legislation move
Senate leaders scrapped plans to adopt a key banking reform section that would centralize credit control in the Federal Reserve board. A bill to temporarily extend the existing FDIC insured deposit limit to $5,000 now lapsed to $10,000 on June 30 if Congress does not act, while other banking law changes may be attached to a separate resolution. The text also notes a series of social visits and a 1912 vs 1934 motorist mileage comparison, reflecting broad community notices amid the banking discussion.
