adopted a program which will swell the lendable cash of the hanks to $3000000000 by the end of May Although it is theoretically "pos siblefor the Treasury to pour its entire $1400000000 gold desteri lization fund into the banks at once: Secretary Morgantheau decided that the initial trickle be only $50000000 per week The dis burseinent will be made by redeem ing half of the $100000000 worth of short term Treasury bills ma turing each week for the next eight weeks and by refunding the others half The caution with which the gold? fund will be spent off rials indi cated was demonstrated by the fact that there should be refunding at all at a time when the Treas ury has all the cash it needs Banks will receive the redemp tion money either as holders of the bills for which they are the prin cipal customers or as depositsfroin other holders Caution Explained One explanation of the caution was indicated by a ederal Reserve a board disclosure that it sold $108 000000 worth of federal bonds last week to prevent the price of the sezurities from going too high The board attempts to minitor the government bond market to prevent undue fluctuations leading to undesirable speculation in a type of security which is the backbone of bank investments President credit in i flation program boosted govern a ment bond prices because it will a increase the amount of idle money in the banks and consequently crease theiraincentive to purchase government bonds for investment Thus the faster the golf money is spent the more erratic the govern ment bond market might become Officials hoped 'to the banks to place much of their idle cash in loans to business but ad mitted that the present total of such cash or excess reserves amounting to $2730000000 is ample for immediate needs This figure was $730000000 larger than it was a week ago because the "I ederal Reserve board reduced by one eighth the percentage of de posits which banks must hold as reserves Excess reserves were be lieved ample even before the pro gram but officials hoped making large additional sums available might psychologically stimulate lending 1IUNTS VILLE Tx April Two condemned murderers re ceived ar reprieve
