Va., November 10 —Possfbility of liber- | alization of the Federal Reserve Sys- tem’s rediscount rules to include security collateral loans in emergency conditions | was urged for the consideration of the | Investment Bankers' Assoclation today. | Only prime commercial notes and | Government bonds are now eligible for | advances or rediscount at the Federal Reserve banks by member banks which desire to obtaln cash for these obliga- tions. “Clear-Cut Case” Needed. Though urging consideration of easier rediscounting, the association was ad- vised by its Committee on Money and Credit that a “clear-cut case must first | be developed in favor of admitting ae-} curity collateral loans for rediscount | before serious consideration shouid be | iven.” | 5 But in emergency rather than ordi- nary conditions, such rediscounting “may be urged—if provided at all, hov - ever, emergency rediscounting should perhaps necessitate additional safe- guards such as a higher rediscount rate and special permission of the Federal Reserve Board, as well as supervision over the use to which the proceeds are put,” in order to take care of the board's | safety requirements. Decline to Offer Remedy. The committee declined to make a definite recommendation, but advised | the association should continue to con- sider the problem because of its in- creasing interest. The report said the Federal Reserve Board had falled to appreciate ade- Qquately, in framing rediscount and open | market_policies, the increased impor- tance of investment banking which has resulted from the greater use by banks of securities. Legless Shoemaker, Idle, Sent to Jail Till Work Is Found Pleased at Prospect of First Regular Lodging in Almost a Year. Having lived for several through the benevolence of police friends, Oliver Martin, 45, legless shoe- maker, was sent to the District Jail yes- terday, smiling at the first prospect of regular board and shelter he has had in almost a year. Martin was found Sunday at Seventh street and Pennsylvania avenue by Park Policeman W. E. Riley, almost uncon- scious from hunger and exposure. Riley took him to the first precinct station, where, after & charge of vagrancy was “booked” against him, officers at the station took up a collection and bought him food and cigarettes. “Your__honor,” Ralph Given yesterday, “I am a shoe- maker and am supposed to be a good one. But I can't find work. There seems to be nothing for me to do. Can't you send me to jail? I know I can earn my meals and lodging there.’ “How about 60 days? judge. “Can’t you give me six months?” the man asked. Judge Given imposed the sentence requested, and informed Martin if any work turned up he would release him immediately. asked the Ballston Women to Meet.

GELLATLY BURIAL WILL BE SIMPLE | Services Planned as Widow Fights $5,000,000 Art Gift to U. S. By the Assoclated Press. Simple arrangement prevailed for the | | burial this afternoon of John Gellatly, 78, picturesque New Yorker, who was | sued for his estranged wife's rent after giving the Nation a $5,000,000 art col- lection. Those to pay tribute at Congressional Cemetery included officials of the Na- tional Museum, to which Gellatly's col- | lection went by act of Congress in 1929, Funds Gained From Estate. | Gellatly’s life scene was New York— much of the money that went into his art collection came from the sale of | the famous old Holland house he in- | herited from his first wife. But death brought him to the Na-| tional Capital for burial close to what | { will be the eventual home of the col-| | lection to which he devoted his life— | unless his widow, Charlyne Whitley, | should succeed in her action to have | his gift declared illegal.
