WASHINGTON'. I'el.. I'J. Prompt pasuK with bi-partisan support ol the administration measure, to e?tailisli a war finance corporation and provide federal supervision over private security issues was planned tuday when the revised measure was ported with unanimous endorsement of the linamc committee. Chairman Simmons will call it uj next Monday and thinks only a. fe-v days consideration necessary for its disposal. The huue also is preparing to expedite action. As re- Irafted under an aurec ment between Sec'y McAdoo and the senate rmmittee. the hill would create the corporation with $.1u0,000. 0O capital and power to issue $4.000.000.000 In l.oiuls to he advanced to war and contributory industries. Four directors, appointed by the president instead of hy S'ec'y McAdoo. with the latter as head of the directorate, would manage th corporation's affairs. The most important rhanco made in the criminal administration draft provides that instead of the corporation's directors, a "'capital i s?u ' rommittef " of live members. a..pointed b the federal reserve hoard a ni comprisiriK tl.ree of tlio men1. er--. would license and control senility issues of Slou.Ouo or more. Anothe- amendment written into the hill restricts the corporation's power to make loans direct to private industries. The committee ab-o provided that iiuad of issuirr bort term notes with which to cute funds for extending hnunciul aid to industry, bonds running from one to tiv- years, shall he issued up to eicht ti'nes the capital stork f the corporation. Interest rates in

j advancs are tixed at one-half rf

one per c.-nt instead of one per tent in excess of the discount rates :u the respective federal ferve dilio's. The p riod of advunves .o

savings hanks, was extended fro;n '.'( days to one vear. The r.w provision limiting direct loans provides that the directors shall have power "to make advances directly: tirst. to any corporation owning or controlling (directly or through Mock -'ownership ) any railroad or other public utility; anJ sfcond. to any firm, corporation, or association conducting an established and going business whose operations are nevessary or contributory to the prosecution of the war: provided, that such advances shall be made only in such cases us the board 'f directors in their discretion shall determine to he of exceptional importance in the public interests. Sucn advances may be made for periods not exceeding live years from tho passage of this act. upon such terms and upon such security and subject to suclf rules and regulations as may he prescribed from time to time by the hoard of directors of the corporation with the approval of the secretary of the treasury. The corporation shall have and retain power to reijuire additional security from time to time.
