CARTER- GLASS SPEAKS UP
Up on Capital Hill some of the
most vigorous language Upcoming
from Senator Carter Glass of Vir
ginia. The Senator la the foremost
banking authority ,. In Congress.
Away back in the Wilson Admin
istration he framed the federal re
lief Act '. and pushed - it through.
He la a good scrapper and is al
way on the watch for anything he
dislikes in the banking policy of
the Administration. ;
Senator Glass la out with a de
nunciation of the order of the Fed
eral Reserve and Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation limiting in
terest banks may pay 3 1-2 per
cent He asked Administration of
ficials where they found any law
for that and they admitted there
wasn't any that would apply to
state banks not members of the
Federal Reserve, The 'fiery .little
Senator from Virginia also took a
crack at the recossendatlons of the
so-called Viner committee's recom
mendation tbatthe law authorizing
Federal Reserve to . make direct
loans to Industry should be repeal
ed, "Give it a chance," says Sena
tor Glass, in substance,
i" The Vlner report, named for
Professor Jacob Viner of the Uni
versity of Chicago, covers a- lot
more territory than that however,
and 1 regarded here as furnishing
full eonfunation of the situation,!
first pointed out in these dispat
ches, whereby banks are ham
strung by confusing- orders from
different authorities and subjected
to examinations by several sets of
extminers, each with : a different
point of view. Thet situation has
been to some extent corrected, but
the Viner committee went out into

ness men, and is convinced that an

dustry is essentia: whether ad

ON FEDERAL MONEY
. The latest estimate is that about
25,000,000 persons are getting Fed
eral money, In one way or another.
Six and a half million are on salar
ies or other direct payments; 400,
000 are directly employed on public
works and about 2,000,000 indirect
ly getting public works funds. A
bout 700,000 families are on Fed
eral relief. How to switch this load
to states and municipalities and
get Industry to take up the pay
roll burden is still the most impor
tant question the Government has
to face

man Rumsey, as a result of a fall
from her horse, has literally sad

daughter of the late E. H. Harri
man, the railroad king, was one of
the most popular persons in official
life, as chairman of the consumers
division of NRA. Her brother
W. Averell Harriman, is as hard a
worker, and is almost as well-liked.
He is practically second to com
