Apparently jealous Congressman Steagall's prime purpose was to embarrass his old rival Senator Glass with a demonstration of the House's enthusiasm for the bill?whether its members understood it or not. The House made a few concessions to country bankers, self-righteously struck out one of the best features?pensions for Federal Reserve Board members to insure their independence?...
