Banking Bill Faces Opposition in Senate Subcommittee
Morton Bodfish of the United States Building and Loan League warned that the administration banking bill would let commercial banks enter long term real estate mortgage credit. He argued savings institutions can meet mortgage demand and that liberalized provisions would hurt their ability to compete for prime mortgage investments. The proposals would allow Fed banks to lend to member banks on any sound asset and permit long term real estate loans, relaxing capital limits and loan-to-value rules.
