By virtue of the authority vested in me by sectlon 5 (B) of the act of October 6, 1917 (40 Stat. L., 411), as amended by the act of March 9, 1933, and by section 4 of the said act of March 9, 1933, and by virtue of all other Executive authority vested in me, I hereby issue the following Executive order: ‘The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and empowered under such regulations as he may prescribe to permit any member bank of the Federal Reserve System and any other banking institution organized under the laws of the United States to perform any or all of their usual banking functions, except as otherwise prohibited. The appropriate authority having immediate supervision of banking institutions in each State or any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States is authorized and empowered under such regulations as such authority may prescribe to permit any banking institution in such State or place, other than banking institutions covered by the foregoing paragraph, to perform any or all of their usual banking functions, except as otherwise prohibited. All banks which are members of the Federal Reserve System desiring to reopen for the performance of all usual and normal banking functions, except as otherwise prohibited, shall apply for a license therefor to the Secretary of the Treasury. Such applications shall be filed immediately through the Federal Reserve Banks. The Federal Reserve Bank :hall then transmit cuch applications to the Secretary of the Treasury. Licenses will be issued by the Federal Reserve Bank upon approval of the Secretary of the Treasury. The Federal Reserve Banks are hereby designated as agents of the Secretary of the Treasury for the recelving of application and the issuance of licenses in his behalf and upon his instructions. Until further order, no individual, partnership, associatlon or corpora- tion, including any banking institution, shall export or otherwice remove or permit to be withdrawn from the United States or any place subject to the jurisdiction thereof any gold coin, gold bullion or gold certificates, except in accordance with regulations prescribed by or under license issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. No permission to any banking institution ¢~ perform any banking functions shall authorize such institution to pay out any gold coin, gold bullion or gold certificates except as authorized by the Secretary of the ‘Treasury, nor to allow withdrawal of any currency for hoarding, nor to engage in any transaction in foreign exchange except such as may be undertaken for legitimate and normal business requirements, for reasonable traveling and other personal requirements and for the fulfillment of con- tracts entered into prior to March 6, 1933. Every Federal Reserve Bank is authorized and instructed to keep itself currently informed as to transactions in foreign exchange entered into or consummated within its district and shall report to the Secretary of the Treasury all transactions in foreign exchange which are prohibited. (Signed.) FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT. Further Instructions Are Issued By Secretary Woodin to Banks The formal statement of Secrctary of the Treasury Woodin iscued at the White House follows: “Under the terms of the act of March 9, 1933, immediate action has been taken by the President and the Secretary of the Treasury which will make possible the resumption of banking operaticns in substantial volume at a very early date. “Pending such resumpticn the vital needs of communities must be met. Attention of all banking institutions is called to regulation 10, which is still in fcrce, and which as amended provides for co-operation between banks in different communties, and reads as follows: “‘Any naticnal cf State banking institution may exercise its usual banking functions to such exte=’ as its situation shall permit and as shall be abso.utely necessary to me . the needs of its community for focd, medicine, other necessities of life, for the relief of distress, for the pay- ment of usual calaries and wages, for necessary current expenditures for the purpose cf maintaining employment, and for other similar essential purposes. «Banking institutions may carry out such transactions as may be necessary to aid banking institutions in other communities to meet the necessities set forth above. Provided, however. that (1) every precaution shall be taken to prevent hoarding or the unnecessary withdrawal of cur- rency; (2) No State banking institution shall engage in any transaction under this regulation which is in violation of State or Federal law or of any regulation issued thereunder; (3) No national banking association shall engage in any transaction under this section which is in violation of any Federal law or of any order or regulation issued by the controller of the currency; and (4) No gold or gold certificates shall be paid out. “‘Each kanking institution and its directors and cfficers will be held strictly accountable for faithful compliance with the spirit and purpose as well as the letter of this regulation. “‘Federal Reserve banks may carry on such functions as may be neces- sary to facilitate transactions authorized by this regulation. “‘In order to enable member banks of the Federal Reserve system to meet the needs of their respective communities to the extent authorized by this regulation, Federal Reserve banks may make advances to such member banks under the conditions set forth in section 10 (B) of the Federal Re- serve act as amended by the act of March 9, 1933, and in accordance with authority granted by the Federal Reserve Board. “‘In addition, in order to enable individuals, partnerships and cor- perations to meet their immediate pay roll requirements, Federal Reserve banks may make temporary advances to such individuals, partnerships and corporations on their promissory notes secured by direct obligations of the United States, in accordance with authority granted by the Federal Reserve 1 duce the bill.

Gen. Frank T. Hines, veterans’ authorized to readjust these rates 1 within limits to effect huge savings.| The present limits for disability are from $6 to $275 a month, and for | death, $12 to $76. The President also would be author- ized to define the dates of the beginning land ending of all wars but the Civil ‘War, the cbject being to restrict com- pensation for the thousands of veterans now receiving benefits for service be- tween November 11, 1918, Armistice day, and November 14, 1921, when the peace treaty officially terminated the conflict. Further power is granted the Execu- tive to prescribe the number of days’ service necessary in all wars except the Civil War to receive a pension or al- lowance, and to fix time limits on filing claims, nature and extent of proof, what presumptions shall be indulged and other conditions he deems just and equitable. 3 Service-connected disabilities still would be given free medical and hos- pital treatment, but only domiciliary care would be provided for veterans who could not trace their permanent dis- abilities to actual war service Retired officers of the Regular Army would have their pay slashed and bene- fits to emergency World War retired officers would be limited to those in- jured in line of duty prior to the armistice. Presumptive clauses also would be eliminated in the emergency officer cases. The salary cuts would be determined by comparing the cost of living for the six months ended with June, 1928, with that of the average of the six-month period beginning with 1932. The only exceptions from the cut are the President, judges and others wl:ase pay. under the Constitution, may not be reduced during their terms of office. In the case of Senators and Repre- sentatives, however, the statute is pro- posed to be amended so the cut may apply to them. Given Unanimeus Approval. The President’s proposal was swept cn its way last night by the unanimous approval of the special House Economy Committee. Representative McDuffie of Alabama announced th2 action of the House group, composed of three Democrats and two Republicans. By reserving a filing number, McDuffie was able formally to introduce the measure at oncs, although the House was not in session. It was learned that President Roose- velt had asked Majority Leader Byrns to sponsor the legislation in the House, but that Byrns had declined to intro- Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic leader, introduced the bill in the Senate. President Roosevelt had wanted the party leaders in both branches to sponsor the legislation, but after Byrns declined, the Special Economy Com- mittee was created by the House.

While Senator Robinson of Arkansas nefits and Federal salary cuts in administrator, told the combined com- mittee meeting the minimum veterans’ savings would be $383,000,000. Hines, Solicitor Roberts of the vet- erans’ administration, and Lewis W. Douglas, budget director, appeared be- fore the two ccmmittees to explain the bill Mr. Rooseveit's second message in as many days—this one urging a balanced budget as “the first concern of the Na- tion”—was listened to attentively yes- terday in both branches. There was an immediate chorus of approval, which set the defenders of gratuities to the vet- erans to drumming up opposition in frantic haste. Soon after hearing the message, asserting “it is too late for a leisurely approach to this problem, * * * we must move with direct and resolute purpose now,” the House created the Special Econcmy Committee, and within a few hours it met jointly with the Senate Finance Committee. In addition to McDuffle, Speaker Rainey appointed Representatives Mil- ligan of Missouri and Woodrum of Vir- ginia, Democrats, and Taber of New York, McGugin of Kansas, Republicans, to the special Economy Committee. McDuffie headed the special Econ- cmy Committee last year and is chair- man of the Joint Congressional Com- mittee on veterans' legislation, which recently cempleted an exhaustive inves- tigation, and is now drafting a report. Woodrum is chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee that han- dles the veterans’ expenditures. Taber and McGugin have been advocates of reductions in veterans' outlays. Representative Rankin of Mississippi, advocate of the cash bonus and sponsor of much veterans' legislation, contend- ed the proposal should go to the Vet- erans’ Committee which he heads. Ran- kin said he opposed making “disabled :‘ettrans" the “goats of this depres- on.” Byrns pcinted out that no House committees had been organized and that to expedite action, the select committee was to b2 set up. The reso- lution was adopted by a voice vote. CURRENCY BILLS URGED TO SPUR USE OF SILVER By the Associated Press. Saveral bills intended to_stimulate | the use of silver for currency purposes as a part of the permanent program for financial recovery were introduced in the Senate yesterday. Three of the measures were intro- duced by Senator Pittman of Nevada, president pro-tempore of the Senate, who renewed a campaign begun during the last session to bring silver into wider use as money and to lift from the market the existing surplus. Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, reintroduced his bill for the remoncti- zation of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 with gold, the old war-cry of Williams Jennings Bryan in his campaign for the TREASURY 10 ISSUE LICENSES TO BANKS Sound Institutions to Be Re- opened as Soon as Sound- ness Is Checked. (Continued From First Page.) Treasury nor the Federal Reserve au- thorities have sufficient information upon which to consider applications for reopening by such State banks as are not members of the Federal Reserve System, the President will by decree authorize the appropriate State author- ities in each State to give licenses to banks under their jurisdiction other than members of the Federal Reserve System, to open for the usual normal business, or in their judgment, and under the terms of the presidential proclamation, to permit of such re- opening under such restrictions and lim- itations as they in their judgment may deem wise, “It is to be expected, however, that State superintendents in granting Ii- censes under this authority will take under consideration in determining their own policy the general principle to be adopted by the Treasury as re- spects member banks that, in the in- terest of the depositors and of the country as a whole, only sound insti- tutions will be permitted to carry on all of their usual functions to the end that no bank shall be recpened for business on any basis that will run the risk of being forced to close again be- cause of demands which it is not in a position to satisfy.” Order to Reserve Banks. The statement issued at the Treasury | concerning the reopening of the Fed- eral Reserve banks said: “The Federal Reserve Board this morning voted to authorize Federal Re- serve banks under the terms of section 403 of the emergency bank act to make advances tomorrow for pay-roll pur- poses to individuals, firms or corpora- tions on their notes secured by Govern- ment securities. The Secretary of the Treasury has issued a regulation cording to the terms of the President’s proclamation permitting the Federal Reserve banks to carry on this business with the public. “Accordingly the Federal Reserve banks will be open tomorrow for the purpose of making loans secured by di- rect obligations of the Government, as well as to conduct such other trans- actions with their member banks as may be necessary to enable member banks to carry out the purposes of regulation number 10 as amended.” Meanwhile, there appeared a differ. ence among congressional supporters o President Roosevelt over guaranteeing bank deposits. Senator McAdoo, Demo- crat, of California introduced a bill to| that end, although some other admin- istration followers indicated they would not approve such a step. Provisions of Bill. ‘The bill would protect depositors in banks of the Federal Reserve System against loss and make provision for ihe prompt payment of amounts due them in the event of the failure or suspensios of the banks. Under the measure a fund would be set up under the control of the Federal Reserve Board, the fund to consist of assessments levied against member banks in proportion to their deposits, payable as provided by the board until it equaled 1 per cent of the deposits in the member banks. “Whenever any member bank shall fail to meet its obligations to depositors and close its business or its business shall be suspended,” the bill provided, “the Federal Reserve Board shall pro- vide for the immediate payment out of the depositors’ indemnity fund of all funds due by such member bank to its depositors, and thereupon such fund shall become and be subrogated to all the rights of said depositors, and in the settlement of the affairs of any such bank all dividends that would have bee: ‘WOODWARD G Stramve 0™U™F arxp GoldHoardersNamed In Flood of Letters Sent Reserve Bank By the Associated Press. bank of “informer” letters about gold hoarding yes- terda; y.

Gold coin and gold certificates, or “yellowbacks,” apparently are the only money which must not be held by in- dividuals, banks, or corporations under the anti-hoarding regulations to be issued by the easury early next week. ‘The gold certificates differ from the new currency about to be distributed and from all other paper money now in circulation in this way: Each certificate is backed by a 100 per cent deposit of gold coin or bullion in the Treasury vaults. It'is therefore considered identical with gold coin. Circuiation of these certificates al ready is prchibited. That is taken to mean that they must not be used Jor paying bills or otherwice. The forthcoming regulations are expected to require that all be immediately turned in to banks and sent back to the Treasury. However, the exact rules have not been disclosed. These will tell banks and citizens just what they must do with fi:’:d or gold certificates in their possession. Other Types to Be Spent. ‘The names of all parties known to have big sums in gold or gold certifi- cates will be reported to the Treasury by the Federal Reserve banks Monday. Presumably action will be taken against them unless their hoards are soon re- turned and exchanged for new cur- rency. All other types of paper money in circulation may be held or spent, as the forthcoming regulations are now understood, without being considered hoarding, and prchibited. Most of these are backed by partial gold depocits. United States notes hitherto have been red:emable in gold. More Reserve Notes. ‘There are only $300,550,000 worth now in_circulation. Federal Reserve notes out amount to $4.550,000,000. They have been hitherto redeemable in gold. National bank notes, backed by Gov- ermnment bonds, amount to $800,000,000, | and are redeemable in “lawful money of the United States.” Federal Reserve Bank notes, similarly | redeemable, have been mostly retired. Many one-dollar silver certificates, re- | deemable only in silver, are outstand- |ing. and a few Treasury notes of 1890, | which have been redeemable either in ! gold or silver.

NEW YOREK, March 11.—This me- tropolis of big money, cheered by signs of rebounded confidence, got ready to- day to throw open the throttle of its banking machine Monday. Under somewhat relaxed restrictions, the banks meanwhile were taking care of vital week end needs. The directions of Secretary Willlam H. Woodin for reopening were being followed, bankers said. Member banks of the Federal Reserve applied through the New York Reserve Bank to re- open their doors, a permission which was for Monday. Non-member banks applied to the State superin- tendent of banking. Asks Rediscount Right. Last night the Legislature passed a resolution, sponsdred by Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, asking that State banks which are not members of the Federal Reserve be granted rediscount privi- leges similar to those extended to mem- ber banks by the emergency legislation enacted at Washington. The resolu- tion was to be sent to the National Capital. Gov. Lehman indicated he was work- ing on plans to insure prompt reopei ing of State banks as soon as final au- thority is received from the Treasury Department. ‘Two factors were interpreted in the Taxi Man Refuses 19 Cents for Ride Despite Own Need This taxicab driver, like many another, could have used 19 cents “Hop in,” the driver invited, “I1l take you anyway.” - The showed the hack- check, unles: a | hacl ‘ only 19 cents.” “You need it worse than I do,” said the hacker, as his “f departed to wire home collect. banking community as signs of r!-v turning confidence: 1.
