NEW YORK, March 9 (AP)
From office boy to president,
the entire financial community to
day was 1 discussing the Aldrich
plan for sweeping bank reform,
and the name of Rockefeller came
often to many lips.
The dramatic arraignment of
certain banking and investment
methods by Winthrop M. Aldrich,
bead of the Chase National bank,
appeared but one or a chain of in
cidents showing that at least some
leaders la the world of finance
ere not opposed, but actually in
favor of drastic surgery either
In the form of legislation or vol
untary action to remove un
healthy developments.
Aldrich's accession in January
to the chairmanship of the gov

vras widely interpreted in Wall
ctreet as definite proof of the
Rockefeller Influence in the af
fairs of this institution, the
world's largest bank.
Aldrich Is a brother-in-law of
John D. Rockefeller Jr., who is
the largest individual holder of

, WASHINGTON, March 9.
(AP) President Roosevelt, keep
ing pace with a congress swiftly
enacting his commands, tonight
signed tne gigantic emergency
banking bill and prepared imme
diately to use its powers for cur
rency expansion and a reopening
of banks Judged sound.
The bill was law within eight
hours after his special message
was read on Capitol Hill. The sen
ate enacted it at 7:23 p. m. Ex
actly 73 minutes later his signa
ture was placed upon It.
Although the president had a
list of some of the banks Judged
entirely solvent and ready for re
opening, he decided tonight to ex
tend the banking holiday indef
initely. The extension, It was said,
would allow a wider opening of
Institutions than would be the
case If tbe action were taken to
morrow. Powers of reorganization
also might be used within that
time.
Members of the delegation who
brought the measure to the White
House remarked that its passage
probably constituted a legislative
record.
The house rushed through the
bill with a tumultuous vote of
"aye" at 4:05 p. m., acting un
der a unanimous consent agree
ment that permitted no amend
ments. Representatives did not
even use the total of 40 minutes
debate allotted. Not a single "no"
was heard in the viva voce vote.
In the senate there was Blight
delay and on a roll call seven
members voted against the meas
ure as compared to 73 in favor.
Two amendments were rejected,
one by Senator Long (D., La.),
to authorize the president to take
state banks Into the Federal Re
serve system. Another by Senator
Gore (D.,-Okla.), would have
made state banks eligible for as
sociate membership for two years.
The seven voting against on the
final ballot were Borah (R., Ida
ho), Dale (R., Vt.), Carey (R.,
Wyo.), LaFollette (R., Wis.),
Nye, (R-. N.D.), Shlpstead (F-L
