RIO GRANDE RIVER BULLETIN Flood Present iM-hr 2 i-hr Stajie Chan ire K'iin (27) 2.4 0.U .00 (21 418 WASHINGTON- An administration proposal to help business out of the slump by broadening lending powers of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation sped through the senate Friday. Acting with speed reminiscent of its pace in the 1933 banking emergency. the chamber approved the measure in pre isely two minutes.

Voice votes on one amendment and on passage were taken immediately after the noon roll call, wrhen only a handful of senators w'ere in their seat' While some senators obviously were unaware of what was happening, a fewf answered on both votes. Vice President gavel cracked twice and the bill went to the house. Introduced by Senators Glass of the federal reserve system and author of much major banking legislation, the bill would permit the RFC to make loans to business without restriction on maturity. The corporation either could make loans, or buy securities. In addition, the bill wTould permit advances to states and other political subdivisions for construction projects.

Under the measure, the corporation could make available $1,500,000.000 for new lending. Chairman Wagner of the senate banking committee told reporters the bill would permit government lending to small business now' has no adequate source of credit. Wagner said he was hopeful the bill would prove a powerful stimulant to business and employment. Little opposition to the measure was expected in the house, but leaders there, busy with the government reorganization bill, have not yet set a date for consideration. The bill grew indirectly from recommendations of the recent conference here urging government credit facilities be extended to small enterprises.

Although a new lending agency originally was proposed, administration leaders decided an expansion of RFC powers would be preferable.
