JONIT POLTS N BANKING BLL Steagall Says Omnibus Measure Would Return Control to People. By the Associated Press. Frank assertion was made yesterday by Representative Steagall, Democrat, of Alabama, that the omnibus bank- ing bill, which will be brought up in the House this week, would extend political control over the Federal Re- serve System. Simultaneously, he issued a state- ment disagreeing with views of some other committee members who held the bill would establish new powers un- der which Fed- eral Reserve Board influence could be exerted to bring a “planned econ- omy” by divert- ing capital away from industries which over-pro- duce and putting money into new fields. Then, talking with newspaper men in his office, Steagall asked: “What's wrong with political con- trol? The Federal Reserve act was political. It was drawn up as & re- sult of a plank in a Democratic plat- form. It was written by Democratic members of a committee, and brought Rep. Steagall.

ASHLAND, Wis, April 27.—0ld battle lines were re-formed and new life injected in the controversy over the University of Wisconsin today as John B. Chapple announced his can- didacy for Governor. Chapple, twice Republican nominee for United States Senator and vigor- ous campaigner against what he termed subversive influences at the university, suid his first act if elected would be t6 oust Dr. Glenn Frank as university president. In a letter which disclosed his plans to run for Governor, Chapple scath- ingly denounced Dr, Frank, who is now in New York and who is expected to be one of the next witnesses called in the current Investigation into uni- versity affairs. Called “Rainbow Man.” “I'm for letting this rainbow man Frank make all the thunder and dawn speeches he wants to,” Chapple wrote, “but not as president of the University of Wisconsin. He makes one of these color-changing lizards look like a piker. “He was red enough to pal with the reds till it got too hot for him, then he was pink with the pinks and now he’s trying to turn his outside skin Repub- lican color. Say, the Republican party has done some awful fool things in its day, but never anything as foolish as this rainbow man Frank hopes it'll do now.’ Dr. Frank has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the G. O. P. presidential nomination. Chapple sald Gov. Philip F. La Follette just a year and a half left to go on protecting an atheist as head of our department of phil- osophy pald by our taxes to repeat |’ over and over again that there is no God.” Fight Began Long Ago. ‘The Frank-Chapple controversy is one of long standing. Prior to the| 1932 campaign, in which Chapple first ran for Senator, he spoke through- out the State of alleged subversive activities at the University of Wis- consin. He sald certain professors were' anti-American and that others were teaching atheism. Dr. Frank at that time called the entire student body together and made a formal reply to what he termed “a carnival of demagogic claptrap.” He did not name his targets. Chapple in his letter today pointed to his “warnings” about conditions at the University of Wisconsin three years ago and said the things he referred to then are “becoming pretty plain to every one now.” A State Senate Committee Thursday night heard Chester D. Snell, dismissed-{ dean of the university extension divi- sion, testify to alleged instances of misconduct by faculty members. Left: Harvey L.

Consequently, he said, | anything the Government did about | banking would reflect the political | - wishes of the people as expressed at elections. | In the past. he continued, a single | Federal Reserve Bank could block a | national program by refusing to com- | ply with suggestions from the Fed- | eral Reserve Board. | The object of the bill, Steagall con- | tinued, is to take control of banking away from interests and individuads and restore it to “the people.” | The thing on which he disagreed | with some other committeemen was | this language in the bill: “It shall be the duty of the Fed-| eral Reserve Board to exercise such| powers as it possesses to promote | conditions making for business sta-! hility and to mitigate by its Influ-‘ ence unstabilizing fluctuations in the| general level of production trade, | prices and employment, so far as may | be possible within the scope of moue- tary action and credit administra- | tion.” Eccles Agrees. Marriner S. Eccles, Reserve Board | governor, agreed to the insertion of that language in the bill. Commit-| tee members, who asked that their| names not be used, contended the Federal Reserve Board could use its influence to discourage loans to un-| profitable industries, and suggest ex-| pansion in more profitable fields. Yesterday, however, Steagall issued a statement he said was in behalf of a majority of his committee. In it he termed that interpretation “false and unfounded” and added that it was just an “attempt to raise the bogey of ‘regimentation’ for the pur- pose of obstructing the banking bill.” | “There is nothing whatever in the bill,” he continued, “that would give | the Federal Reserve Board power to require the member banks or the| Reserve banks to refuse loans or grant | loans for one branch of industry, | commerce or agriculture as against another.” | FEDERAL EMPLOYES | WILL AWARD PRIZES Local Unions to Present Gifts | Wednesday to Winners in Membership Drive.
