J. H. Taggart Explains New Scrip Development
Decision May Mean Ful Utilization of Glass-Steagall Bill
J. H. Taggart, associate professor on economics, before leaving this noon for Topeca to participate in a meeting of the university's faculty and the word received here that the Rosenstock administration has decided to rely for additional currency chiefly on the regular elastic privileges of the federal system may have one of two meanings.
The statement, Professor Taggar said, although indefinite, may indicate the full utilization of the Glass-Stougall bill, or might indicate that the bank backing federal reserve notes would fall below the 40 per cent requirement.
"The apparent decision to use new federal reserve notes rather than temporary certificates, or scrip," said Professor Tagunt, "may mean that the bank held passed nearly a year ago and is used to effect a control expansion."
The Glass-Stegall bill permits the substitution of government obligations for commercial paper, which had previously been required for 60 per cent of U.S. debt before that "there has been enough gold in the United States during the past months to support a high price level." Professor Taggart said, "and although we have no figures of the amount of gold in the Federal Reserve banks, there is a clear intention to meet the shortage of cash." "Should the Federal Reserve system go below the 40 per cent minimum on gold," she said, "it did not necessar-
"Should the Federal Reserve system go below the 40 per cent minimum on gold reserve, this would not necessitate much more investment in time that might be the result."

Regular Currency to Play Big Part in Present Trade
President Directs Twelve Federal Reserve Banks to "Loosen" Flow of Money
WOODIN IS OPTIMISTIC
2 President Roosevelt intends to ask congress for broad, almost dictatorial powers, to deal with the situation.
1. Federal reserve banks have been instructed to "loosen" currency with the co-operation of member banks.
Real currency, loosened through the federal reserve system, will be depended on in the present crisis, according to the latest declaration by the Treasury department. Other new developments are rapidly they were.
3. Secretary Woodin's statement was regarded as an expression of the government's instance upon what Pressler called "a sound but adequate currency."
4. Later imprints were the treasury department would not prohibit use of scrip locally prepared.
Washington, March 8 — (UP) —The Roosevelt administration abandoned its script today. Instead it has decided to rely for additional currency chiefly on the regular elastic privileges of the federal reserve system. These are far from being stretched to the limit and there still is room for expansion to meet new challenges of cash. Details of these latest moves are trickling out slowly.
While Woodin said the treasury would not authorize use of scrip, it was explained that the federal government would not prohibit nor exercise jurisdiction over local issuance of treasury bonds in any sections during the past several months. The currency necessary to pump new vigor into channels of business and trade is being loosened through the 12 federal reserve banks, all of which have been instructed to co-operate with member banks in casing the situation. Secretary Woodin, smiling and appearing refreshed despite his long hours of conferences, also sent a cheering message to the nation when he
"We see light here. Things aren't going to pieces."
With the administration decision to attempt a banking remedy through currency instead of script there was coupled word through sources close to President Roosevelt that he will demand that congress concentrate on a banking program for the immediate future and let a complete rebuilding of the government seize until a comprehensive plan of government can be formulated.
