The following is a copy of a memo which Mr. Millard wrote to Mr. C layton
on April U , 1949:




11

In our telephone conversation this afternoon
you informed me that in reiterating his experiences with
the Executive Committee of the National Association of
Supervisors of State Banks at the Willard Hotel on Thursday, April n9 Chairman McCabe stated he informed the group
that at the time he was interviewed by the Task Force for
the Hoover Commission, Task Force representatives had indicated they were in favor of consolidating Federal bank
supervision under Federal Reserve. Also, that Mr. McCabe
had indicated he was not in favor of such consolidation.
"As I recall the Chairman1s conversation on this
subject at the Willard meeting, he informed those present
that, although the Task Force was of the opinion that
Federal bank supervision should be merged under the Federal
Reserve's aegis, he was not in accord with that viewj it
being his feeling that the three Federal agencies should
be contined and that to merge them under Federal Reserve
would be only but "to inherit another headache."
