Raleigh, March 9.—The General As sembly will last at least five more weeks, even if Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus is able to smooth out all present differences of opinion and the members get down to work in a spirit I of harmonious cooperation, .accord ing to most bservers here. As a result of the governor’s mes sage to the General Assembly, asking it to defer action on any of the more important legislation until he has had an opportunity to appear before it in joint session, it is now certain that the Hous& will not start work on the appropriations bill Friday, as it had planned. While Governor Ehringhaus has not said yet when he will ad dress the General Assembly, current belief is that he will probably not do so until Monday night, March 13.

To review at this time the causes of this failure of our banking system is unneces sary. Suffice it to say that the gov ernment has been compelled to step in for the protection of depositors and tile business of the nation. Our first task is to reopen all sound banks. This is an essential prelim inary to subsequent legislation di rected against speculation with the funds of depositors and other viola tions of positions of trust. In order that the first objective— the opening of banks for the resump tion 01. business—may be accomplish ed, I ask of the Congress the imme diate enactment of legislation giving to the executive branch of the gov ernment control over 1 banks for the protection of depositors; authority forwith to ©pen such banks as have already been ascertained t 0 be in sound condition, and other such banks as rapidly as possible; and authority to reorganise an reopen such banks as may be found to require reorganiz ation to put them on sound basis.

The House failed to pas 3 the truck bill on a 48 to 48 vote, and the Sen iate deferred action on the constitu tional amendment bill until tomorrow Both houses will meet tonight.

A continuation of the strangulation of the banking facilities is unthinkable. The passage of the pro posed legislation will end this con dition, and I trust in a short space of time will result in the resumption cf business activities. In addition, it is my belief that this legislation will not only lift imme diately all unwarranted doubts and suspicions in regard to banks which are 100 percent sound, but will also mark the beginning of a new relation ship between the banks and the peo ple cf this country. The members of the new Congress will realize, I am confident, the grave responsibility which lies upon me and upon them. In the short space of five days it is impossible for us to formulate com pleted measures to prevent the recur rence of the evils of the past. This does not and should not, justify any delay in accomplishing this first step. At an early moment I shall request of the Congress two other measures which I regard as of immediate ur gency. With action taken thereon, we can proceed to the consideration of a rounded program of nation restora tion. FRANKLIN D ROOSEVELT.

Roosevelt urged the specifically convened Congress today to empower him immediate ly to open ‘sound banks, to reorganize other banks and to provide currency expansion." Arrangements were sped in both Senate and House to do his bidding, once formal organization was com pleted. Throngs were gathered in the galleries to hear the presidential message reach while he remained at work at his White House desk. : Our first task is to reopen all sound banks,” he declared, and went at once into his immediate emergency plans —“I ask of the Congress the imme d’ate enaction of (legislation giving to the executive branch of the govern ment control over banks for the pro tection of depositors; authority frth with to open such banks as have al ready been ascertained to be in sound condition, and other such banks as rapidly as possible; and authority to reorganize and reopen such banks a3 may be found to require reorganiza tion to put them on a sound basis- Bill Is Submitted. President Roosevelt’s emergency bank bill was submitted to Congress today carrying out his program for controlled expansion of the currency and resumption of normal banking under his regulations. The bill would ratify the executive orders issued by (he President and continue his authority over the bank ing situation; provide for concentra tion of the nation’s gold supply in; the Federal Reserve Banks j penalize hoarding, and provide for controlled expansion of the currency.

(AP) Josephus Daniels, of North Carolina, secretary of the navy during the Wil son administration., was understood in informed circles today to be slated for chairmanship of a neiw govern ment group to include the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Shipping Board and the aeronautics division of the Commerce Department. Such a consolidation would bring together the major transportation agencies of the Federal' government. It has been indicated for some time that, something of the sort was con templated by President Roosevelt. Daniels, publisher of the Raleigh News and Observer, was secretary of the navy while Franklin D. Roosevelt was assistant secretary. They have been intimately associated ever since.

Meanwhile, another North Caro linian, C. L. Shuping, of Greensboro, was endorsed today for commissioner of internal revenue by the State’s de legation in the House of Representa tives. The representatives, headed by Pen and Hancock, called on Postmaster General Farley, patronage dispenser, to urge Shuping’s appointment. He is a lawyer, and managed the Roosevelt, pre-convention campaign in North Carolina Recently he had been active in raising money to pay off the Dem ocratic deficit. Pending the consolidation of the transportation agencies, indications have been that Daniels would be ap pointed chairman of the Shipping Board, in itself one of the smaller or ganizations in the combine.
