BANKS MUST STOP HOARDING MONEY, M'ADOO INSISTS Secretary Treatens to Recall Emergency Currency From Bankers Who Deny Loans for Legitimate Commercial Needs. WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Drastlc ac tion against bankers who are hoarding monoy, denying lonns for legitimate pur poses to commercial borrowers while their vaults bulge with "war emergency" and other currency, Is being considered by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. The Secretary nnd members of tho Fed eral Reserve Board admitted today that numerous complaints against bankers nro being received. Recall from offending banks by the Treasury of currency Issued for the war emergency under tho Aldrlch Vrecland act unless the hoarding ceases was being seriously considered today, It was reported. State banks, which cannot be reached by tho Federal officials, nre also offend ing by hoarding their money. It was stated today. While millions of dollars of emergency currency have been poured out to the banks, manufacturers and merchnnts nro being turned down when loans nre re quested nnd Interest chnrges boosted, ac cording to complaints reaching tho treas ury. Many banks nro also said to bo de clining to extend maturing pnper. Hoarding always occurs In times of dis tress, but with tho treasury dealing out currency with a free hand there is no necessity for such action now, In the opinion of Secretary McAdoo, and tho reserve board. Between October 15 and November 1 tho reserve board plans to have tho new currency system In operation, and mem bers believe present hoarding will then cease. MORE DIVIDENDS PASSED United Gas and Electric Corporation has passed the dividend on its first pre ferred stock because of tho disturbance of financial conditions.
