The 11th hour agreement virt ually assured approval of the long studied legislation for which hope of enactment at this session had been abandoned two days ago For four hours coatless repre sentatives of the two houses worked in a hot committee room to compromise differences. Near the end they consulted with President Roosevelt by telephone and a few minutes later emerged smiling to announce the long sought understanding. Permanent System To Wait One Year Under the compromise bill, de posits up to $2500 would be in sured beginning January 1, 1934, and the permanent insurance sys tem would go Into effect the fol lowing July. Branch banking, as in the sen ate bill, would be permitted to national banks in states which specifically permit their own In stitutions to have state - wide branch banking. These were tbe two big contro versial points. The bill also car ries far-reaching legislation to curb the use of Federal Reserve credit for speculative purposes, as well as revision of the national banking laws in other ways. Eventually, It will bring a uni fied national banking system, if approved in its present form, and not modified later. Deposits would be Insured through a corporation composed of the comptroller of the currency and two members appointed by the president.

As leaders left the White House shortly before midnight, Director Douglas of the budget, who sat in on the parley, told newspapermen emphatically if the substitute put for ward in the senate today were adopted it would cost an addi tional $100,000,000. Asked if this would require the imposition of new taxes, Douglas replied: O "l "bould think so." Although the conferees were !- lent, there were indications in ap parently reliable quarters the president would stand by his threat to hold congress in session and call for new taxes If the vet erans compensations were liberal ized too much. Senator Byrnes (D-SC) letder of the senatorial group, announc ed after the White House parley he would report the conferee' disagreement tomorrow to tie senate, which has been insisting upon veterans allowances above those contained in the house-d-ministration compromise. Unable themselves to werk eul an agreement at a legislative con ference earlier in the evening, tbe democratic conferees took tbsir troubles to the White House with in a few minutes after the Capitol mil parley ended. Douglas told the conferees the substitute proposed in the seuate by Cutting (R-XMi and Steiwer (R-Ore) more liberal than either the house plan or the original sea- ate provision, would throw plans for a balanced budget out of lis unless new taxes were put on. Back to Capitol Hill to fight it out went the conferees. There ap peared no doubt Mr. Roosevelt stood firm by the house group that had approved his com pro mise Instead of the previous sen ate increase in veterans allowan ces, to the so-called Ceialljt amendment.

The pa. per was signed by C. E. Lee, clerk, and Milton E. Gralapp, chairiuan of the board. The board went on record as labeling pre-prohibition liquor traffic and Illicit liquor traffic since adoption of the 18th amend ment which has "fostered crime, promoted racketeering, defied law and order and trampled nn der foot the constitution of the United States", as "evil, only evil. and always e-11 continually". In a recommendation to mem bers of the congregation the board set forth that "Members keep their children out of all business houses that sell such beverages. and that the adults set them the example by confining their tran sactlons, as far as it Is reason ably possible to do, to such busi ness houses as do not counten ance the sale ot alcoholics. It is not our intention to conduct or promote a boycott, but It is our privilege to take such steps as we deem best to protect the mor als of our membership and their friends, and in such an endeavor we invite all other churches to unite".
