Resources of Reserve
Bank May Be Open
to Director Hines
,By Associated Press to The Observer)
WASHINGTON, March 13. The
extent to which the federal reservo
system can be used to assist in finan
cial operations of railroads, pending
an appropriation by congress, was
discussed (Wednesday between Secre
tary Glass, Director General Hines,
Governor Harding of tho reserve
board, and officials of the war finance
corporation.
It was not determined whether rail
road notes, secured by railroad admin
istration warrants, which may be is
sued to the, roads, might be eligib for
rediscount with federal reserve banks.
This procedure would open up the
vast credit resources of the federal -e-serve
syr.tem to the railroad compa
nies, but indications were that a tye
cial rule of the reserve board would ) c
required to make this possible, and
members of the board were represent
ed as not anxious to adopt such a rule.
This left tho plans still in an indefi
nite stntn, to be worked out in further
conferences during the next week.
