A little while before Representative GLASS BILL VOTED BY SENATE, 531 Currency Expansion Measure Approved—Goldshorough Proposai Rejected. A few minutes after the Goldsborough currency stabilization bill had been re- jected by the Senate today the Glass billion-dollar currency expension bill was adopted as an amendment to the pending home-loan discount measure. Senator Blaine, Republican, Wiscon- £in, proposed the Goldsborough bill be made an amendment to the home-loan bill, but the Senate rejected the pro- without a record vote. The vote on the Glass bill was 53 to 18. The Goldsborough bill, the subject of many bitter attasks since it was passed by the House, would authorize the Fed- eral Reserve Board to fix the value of the doilar at the average for the period from 1921‘to 1929. Only four Democrats and 14 Repub- licans voted against the Glass bill which was offered as an amendment to the home loan bank bill by Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho.
