GLASS DRIVES 0N BANKERS' LOBBY (laims $400,000 Was Spent to Defeat His Bill § Washington, Feb. 17 (#—Coinci- dent with final congressional approv- al of the McFadden branch banking hill yesterday by the senate, the measure's consideration by the pres- ent session forms the basis of a pro- posed investigation into an alleged banking lobby in Washington. I Immediately after the adoption of the conference report on the bill by a 71 to 17 vete which sends the leg- islation to the president, Senator Glass, democrat, Virginia, co-author of the revised measure, offered a res- olution seeking investigation into re- ports that a group of bankers favor- ing the discarded Hull amendments | had spent more than $400,000 in maintaining a lobby. The Virginian, a former secretary of the treasury, ter his resolution was referred to 1 committee, indicated that he will press for action with a view to hav- ing the senate banking committee conduct an inquiry and report by January 1. Tn its final consideration of the measure, the senate invoked the drastic cloture rule for the first time in {ts history on a purely domestic legislation as a means to prevent a long filibuster on the bill by a small group of both sides of the| chamber. H The measure provides permission for national banks to establish | branches within the limits of the city, town or village where they are located in states where similar priv- ! ileges are granted to state banks and | also grants extension, of the char- ters of the 12 federal reserve banks | indefinitely. In his proposal to investigate the banking lobby, Senator Glass charged | that the banking lobbyists h “haunted the corridors of the cap! tol for months and had employed | members of congress identified \i’i(h} this legislation to go out and make | speeches on certain provisions of the | bill." Senator Wheeler, democrat, Mon- tana, who opposed the hill endorsed the investigation, demanding that the ate probe ‘“the American Bank ers’ association from top to hottom.” | RUSSWIN GIRLS ME he monthly meeting of Russwin Girls' club Tuesday ning took the form of a Valentine | e here .were about 30 hers pre: nt was enjo the | eve- mem- tim At the business meeting it decided to hold an April Fool | party next month.
