BANK ACT HAILED BY RESERVE BOARD Holds Law Removes Re- strictions Which Blocked Effective Service. By the Associated Press. The Federal Reserve Board has put its formal stamp of approval on the banking act of 1935. In its monthly bulletin yesterday it said the new law “permanently re- moves from the operations of the| Federal Reserve banks and the mem- ber banks some of the restrictions ‘which at critical times prevented them | from effectively rendering the services to the country for which they were established.” “This act represents the most funda- mental revision of the Federal Reserve act since its adoption 22 years ago in 1913,” the board commented. “It incorporates into law much of the ex- perience acquired by the system dur- ing the more than two decades of its operation. It reflects a broader con- ‘ception of the system’s functions in the country's economic life than ex- isted at the time the system was established; it defines and fixes more firmly the responsi- | bilities of the board in Washington and of the regional reserve banks; * * * and, finally, it clarifies and sim- plifies a number of features of the administration of the system.” The board said the new statute pre- served the local autonomy of the re- gional banks in their dealings and re- Jations with the member banks in their rsepective districts, but placed ulti- mate responsibility for national credit policies in the board here. This re- sponsibility is vested through control | of the Open Market Commitiee, and through the board’s authority over other major instruments of credit con- trol, namely, changes in discount rates, in member bank reserve re- quirements and in margins to be pre- scribed for loans on securities. The bulletin said member bank bal- ances and excess reserves both reached the “largest amounts ever reported in August.” The former was set at *“above $5,300,000,000” and the latter at “nearly $2,800,000,000." In this connection, the board re- ported that new provisions in the 1935 banking act, requiring reserves against Government deposits and full deduction of amounts due from banks in computing net demand 'deposus would mean a reduction of about $50,- 000,000 in the total of required re- eerves. ——— SOARING SOCIETY AIDE VISITS BIG MEADOWS Dr. Klemperer to Attempt to Set Record for Passenger Glid- ing Planes. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. BIG MEADOWS, Va., September 23.—Dr. Wolfgang Klemperer, vice president of the Soaring Society of America, yesterday inspected the Big Meadows glider base and said he would be down next week with his four-passenger glider plane and a two- passenger glider plane. He will at- tempt to set a record for passenger gliding. At present there is no record and his four-passenger plane is said to be the only one known. Klemperer was expected last year with his passenger glider, but, although he visited the site, he did .ot bring his plane. Wind conditions for the past week have been ideal at Big Meadows. —_ Designs Furnishings. Mrs. J.

In the meantime she says she has enjoyed her camera work, but admits that it's the hardest work she has ever done. Apparently being a nightingale is no cinch. Her friend, Lily Pons, has worked herself into a frazzle, she says. Clifton Webb hasn't worked him- self into any kind of a frazzle. In fact he hasn't worked at all. He thinks he will be an old men by the time he gets into a picture. has him sewed up but at the moment hasn't a picture for him. And he isn't allowed to work for anyone else. So Mr. Webb eats his toast and drinks his tea—and dances only on the side. A whole army of people is outside the Glendale Theater where the | Crawtord preview is held. Word has leaked out that it's a Crawford pic- ture—and that she will be there with Massa Tone. If she is, nobody sees her. May Robson makes up for it. May, besides being a grand trouper, is one of the most popular stars in Hollywood. “I Live My Life” will undoubtedly be another M-G-M box-office wham. It is light, frivolous, never- sad. Crawford’s best scene is when she breaks every stick of furniture in her living room. She throws lamps around as though they were toy balloons. | The audience cheered her when she did this.
