The Labor Market in Mid-1961
DEMANDS FOR LABOR have strengthened
this spring along with the rapid recovery in
economic activity. Nonfarm employment
has increased considerably from its March
low. In manufacturing, the average workweek has been lengthening since the turn
of the year. Aggregate wage and salary payments turned upward in March and rose to
a new high in May. The unemployment
rate has changed little this year, but improvement in this rate typically lags recovery in output and employment.
The cyclical decline in nonfarm employment in 1960-61, like that in total output,
was smaller than in any preceding postwar
recession. Layoffs and reductions in the
workweek were concentrated among production and maintenance workers in industrial activities. In addition to the reductions arising from cyclical forces, there has
been a persistent weakness in employment
in these occupations in recent years. In
contrast, demands for workers in professional, managerial, service, and clerical
occupations have been generally strong even
during recession periods. Employment in
these occupational groups advanced to record levels this spring.
Unemployment, seasonally adjusted, increased from about 5 per cent of the civilian
labor force in May 1960 to just under 7
per cent in December and has since remained near that level. During 1957 and
1958 the rate rose from about 4 per cent
to a postwar high of 7.5 per cent. It reached
this high in July 1958, while economic activity reached its low in April.

UNEMPLOYMENT RATE

NOTE.—Bureau of Labor Statistics data, seasonally adjusted. Unemployment rate is the percentage of the civilian
labor force unemployed. Latest figure shown, May 1961.

Numerous factors, in addition to die vigor
and duration of cyclical recovery and expansion in economic activity, will affect the
course of unemployment. These include
the extent of productivity gains, the size and
composition of increases in the labor force,
changes in hours of work, and the ability
of the economy to absorb into productive
activity displaced workers who have been
unemployed for a relatively long time.
The layoffs in industrial activities have
brought into the labor market considerable
numbers of unskilled and semiskilled workers in many urban areas. Many of these
workers do not have the skills, education,
and training required in new and expanding
activities. Moreover, many of those attached to industries of declining employment opportunities or located in areas of

648

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • JUNE 1961

limited alternative prospects are middleaged workers with families. Their geographic mobility is often impeded by strong
attachments in their communities.
The labor force has shown a sizable further expansion over the past year, and this
has contributed to the higher levels of unemployment. Growth in the labor force has
stemmed largely from the steadily increasing
number of women in the labor force. In
recent years the work force also has begun
to reflect the high birth rates of the 1940's.
The number and relative importance of
young workers and of women in the labor
force are expected to continue to increase
in the years immediately ahead.
RECENT EXPANSION IN EMPLOYMENT

Employment gains this spring have reflected
increased consumer purchases of autos, expanded construction activity, larger government outlays, and the ending of inventory
liquidation. By May the number employed
in nonfarm establishments had risen to 52.7
million, seasonally adjusted, 500,000 more
than at the low in March, but still 700,000
less than at its cyclical high in July 1960.
Hours of work in factories, which gen-

erally lead changes in output and employment, have been increasing since the beginning of the year. The average workweek
in May was slightly under 40 hours, after
allowance for seasonal influences. Employment turned up in manufacturing in March,
and most industries have been hiring more
people in recent months. The largest increases have been in steel, autos, and other
durable goods activities in which the preceding declines had been centered. Employment in nondurable goods lines, which declined little during the recession, has shown
moderate but widespread gains since winter.
From February to May total manufacturing employment increased by nearly 350,000. This was one-third of its preceding
cyclical decline and compares with a recovery of about three-fourths in manufacturing output. As is typical of the early
stages of recovery, part of the initial increase
in output has reflected a lengthening of the
workweek and rapid gains in productivity.
In a few industries—chemicals, printing,
and ordnance—employment in May surpassed the level of a year earlier.
Construction employment, which had
been adversely affected by a severe winter,
responded rapidly to improved activity early
this spring. In the mining and railroad in-

Reserve. Latest monthly figures shown, May 1961.

649

THE LABOR MARKET IN MID-1961

dustries the pick-up in employment has been
slow, and employment possibilities continue
to be limited.
In the nonindustrial sector, requirements
for labor continue strong, paced by expansion in services, finance, and State and local
governments. Employment in most of these
activities was at or near record levels in
May.
In the nine months July 1960-March
1961, total nonfarm employment declined
1.2 million, or 2.3 per cent, whereas in the
similar period in 1957-58 it had declined
4.6 per cent. Manufacturing employment,
which accounted for most of the decline in
both recessions, also declined about onehalf as much as in the earlier period, as may
be seen on the chart.
Men are the predominant part of the
work force in industries hardest hit by recession, and there were fewer men at work
in May than a year earlier. Among women,
in contrast, nonfarm employment was higher
than a year earlier. Employment continued
to rise during the recession in almost every
occupational group in which women hold a
high proportion of jobs.

UNEMPLOYMENT

The unemployment rate, at 6.9 per cent in
May, seasonally adjusted, changed little during the first five months of this year, after
reaching a cyclical high at the end of 1960.
In May, 4.8 million persons were unemployed, 150,000 fewer than in May 1958 but
1.3 million more than in May 1960.
Unemployment experience differs among
occupational groups, even in periods of high
activity. These differences tend to be accentuated during cyclical declines. In May
blue collar workers accounted for two-fifths
of total employment but for three-fifths of
unemployment. Professional, managerial,
sales, and clerical workers accounted for
nearly one-half of the employed work force
but for only one-fifth of the unemployed.
Although total unemployment, seasonally
adjusted, has been stable this year, the number unemployed for long periods has continued to increase, as it usually does in the
early stages of recovery. Seasonally adjusted data for May indicate that 1.6 million
persons, or one-third of the total, had been
looking for work for 15 weeks or longer.

This was 1 million more than a year earlier
and was also more than in the same month
of 1958. In May of this year about onehalf of the unemployed had been out of
work 10 weeks or less.
A high proportion of the long-term unemployed are middle-aged or older workers
previously engaged in manual occupations.
The incidence of long duration unemployment is high among nonwhite workers.
The average duration of unemployment
among youths and women has been relatively short, even though their over-all unemployment rate has recently been high.
In May, unemployment rates for women
were about as high as in May 1958, while
rates for men were lower. In the recent
downturn, unemployment rates for men increased about as much as those for women,
as may be seen from the chart. In 1957-58
the rates rose more sharply for men. The
difference in experience is attributable
mainly to the more moderate decline in industrial activities in the recent recession.
Despite the increase in employment since
March, the supply of labor is still high relative to demand in most urban areas. In
May more than three-fifths of the 150 major
labor market areas in the country were classified as having a substantial labor surplus,
that is, with unemployment equal to 6 per
cent or more of the labor force.
Unemployment rates are highest in mining areas and in centers producing hard
goods, especially steel and autos. The rate
is 9 per cent or higher in 30 areas, including such major ones as South Bend, Detroit,
Scranton, Wheeling, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo.
In contrast, the rate is below 6 per cent in
54 areas, including New York, Boston,
Atlanta, Denver, and Washington, D. C.
The Area Redevelopment Act enacted in
May provides $300 million of Federal loans,




FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • JUNE 1961

for use over the next four years, to urban
communities with severe and protracted unemployment problems and to rural areas
with high proportions of low-income families. It also provides direct grants of $150
million for public works and other purposes, including the retraining of unemployed workers.
LABOR INCOME

Total wage and salary disbursements have
been rising since February. In May, at an
annual rate of $277 billion, they were
slightly above the earlier high reached last
summer. Since then, moderate but widespread increases in wage and salary rates
have added more to aggregate labor income
than was lost by reductions in employment
and hours. The cyclical decline in disbursements, from peak to trough, amounted
to $4 billion, or 1.5 per cent. This was the
smallest decline of any postwar recession,
and it was confined mainly to the commodity producing industries.
Unemployment compensation and other
transfer payments are sharply higher than
last summer. In May such payments were
at an annual rate $3.8 billion larger than in
July 1960. The increase in such payments
reflects in part a temporary program that
began in April. This program, which will
expire in mid-1962, extends payments up to
a maximum of 13 additional weeks for unemployed workers who exhausted benefits
after June 30, 1960. Early in June about
750,000 unemployed workers were receiving benefits under the temporary program
and 2.4 million under regular programs.
Hourly and weekly earnings. Wage rates
advanced more slowly and selectively over
the past year than they had earlier. This
slackening reflected the combined influence

651

THE LABOR MARKET IN MID-1961

of the recession and of a tendency in recent
years toward smaller wage increases in both
manufacturing and nonmanufacturing activities, as may be seen on the chart. The
slower rate of increase in wages has been
most marked in mining and railroads. In
construction hourly earnings have continued
to rise almost as rapidly as before.
After allowance for a slower rate of advance in consumer prices, the purchasing
power of hourly wages in manufacturing
increased on the average about as much per
annum from the spring of 1958 to the spring
of 1961 as over the preceding four years.
Since the recession low in 1958, average
wage and salary rates in manufacturing have
increased about in line with gains in output
per manhour. Labor costs per unit of output, including continued increases in costs
of fringe benefits, are not much different
from those in early 1958. This has been
one element in the relative stability of industrial prices in recent years. In contrast,
both prices and labor costs had increased
significantly during the four years of the
preceding cycle.
Average weekly earnings in manufacturing tended to drift down during most of
1960 as increases in wage rates were not
sufficient to offset shorter workweeks, curtailment of overtime and other premium
payments, and a concentration of layoffs in
the higher paying durable goods industries.
In recent months the workweek and employment have increased and hourly earnings
have also risen, with resultant increases in
weekly earnings. In May such earnings, at
$92.66, were 1 per cent higher than a year
earlier, and average hourly earnings, at
$2.34, were 2 per cent higher.
Over the past year hours have been maintained in most nonmanufacturing sectors.
Earnings have risen in virtually all such ac-




tivities except bituminous coal mining.
Hourly earnings in May averaged from 3 to
5 per cent higher than a year earlier for
trade, communications, construction, and
utilities.
About 2.5 million workers are expected
to receive higher wages in September under
the recent amendments to the Fair Labor
Standards Act. The minimum wage for

workers already covered will rise from
$1.00 to $1.15 an hour. Coverage was extended to 3.6 million additional workers,
mostly in large retail stores. For these workers the minimum wage is set initially at
$1.00 an hour. Minimum wages will rise
to $1.25 in September 1963 for previously
covered workers and in September 1965 for
those covered by recent legislation.
Collective bargaining. Under contracts
negotiated before 1961, about 3 million
workers in steel, aircraft, metal fabricating,
trucking, and construction have received, or

652
will receive later this year, hourly wage increases of widely varying amounts. Contract negotiations are under way or are
scheduled for later in 1961 in such major
industries as automobiles, machinery, apparel, and communications.
Recent labor-management negotiations
have emphasized problems of job security.
This emphasis reflects not only the recession
but also the longer run tendency toward reductions in the number of jobs for production and maintenance workers. Committees
have been established in the steel and railroad industries to study the problems involved in adjusting work rules and also the
general problem of workers displaced by
technological advance. A number of major
contracts have included provisions for severance pay, for retraining, and for moving
workers to other company plants.
Another important tendency has been to
eliminate or modify cost-of-living escalator
clauses. The number of workers covered
by escalator clauses declined from a high of
4.4 million in 1959 to about 2.8 million at
the beginning of 1961. Escalator payments
have been sharply limited in the steel, aluminum, and metal container manufacturing
industries. In the railroad industry and in
contracts with major electrical equipment
companies, they have been eliminated.
LABOR FORCE TRENDS AND PROSPECTS

From 1955 to 1960 the average annual
increase in the labor force was 800,000, but
growth is expected to be more rapid over
the next five years. The labor force increased by 900,000 in 1960, and it is expected to rise by about 1.2 million this year
and by 1.3 million in 1963.
The age-sex composition of the labor
force is likely to undergo further significant




FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • JUNE 1961

change over the next five years. Increases
are anticipated in the proportions of women
and younger persons in the total labor force.
On the other hand, changes in the size of the
male group 25 years of age and over will be
small: some increase will occur in the 45-64
year age span as the chart shows, but the
25-44 age group will change little.
The occupational composition of the labor force has undergone a dramatic shift
in recent years. The number of jobs available to unskilled and semiskilled manual
workers has declined, but opportunities have
expanded steadily in white collar occupations. Expansion has been spectacular in
research and development and has been substantial in trade, education, health, and business and financial services. These trends
are likely to continue.
Women. During the past five years the
labor force has increased by 4 million.
Women aged 25 and over accounted for
about 2 million and younger women for
about 1 million of the total growth. These
two groups now represent one-third of the
total labor force. Women also accounted
for a large part of the increase in total employment from 1955 to 1960.
On the demand side, employment opportunities have expanded rapidly in occupations for which women are well suited and
in part-time work. In addition, there has
been a growing acceptance of women in a
wide range of professional and technical occupations.
On the supply side, the increasing proportion of women in the labor force is
largely attributable to rising average educational attainment of women, increased social
acceptance of wives as secondary wage earners, and the increasing number of women
whose children have reached school age.
Mechanization of many household chores

653

THE LABOR MARKET IN MID-1961

has also given many women more time to
spend outside the home. Desires for higher
standards of living have induced many
women to seek employment, and their earnings have become increasingly important as
a supplement to family income.
About 2 million women 25 years of age
and over are expected to come into the labor
force in the next five years, about the same
number as from 1955 to 1960. This will
represent a smaller proportion of the projected increase in the total labor force, however, largely because of the increasing importance of younger workers.
Younger workers. After a small decline
in the first half of the 1950's, the number of
workers (male and female) under 25 years
of age has been expanding. In 1960 there
were 1.2 million more workers in this age
group than in 1955. Youths with appropriate skills and education, especially those
with college training, have had little difficulty finding full-time employment. Many
others, however, are inexperienced and lack
seniority or adequate skills. Many younger
job seekers are in school and want only parttime or seasonal employment. Typically,
unemployment rates are higher for young
persons than for any other age group in the
labor force.
During the next five years 3.3 million
younger workers will probably be added to
the labor force, about one-half of the anticipated increase in the total. About the
middle of this decade large numbers of
young persons will reach post-high-school




age and a high proportion of them will enter
the labor force. In mid-1960 there were
2.6 million persons in the 18 year old group
in the population. By 1964 there will be
an estimated 2.8 million, and in 1965, 3.8
million. About 70 per cent of the males

and 50 per cent of the females of this age
can be expected to be in the work force.
By age 25, almost all males are in the labor
force. As they enter gainful employment
in increasing proportions, and as they establish households, their demands for consumer
goods expand, especially for housing, automobiles, and other durable goods.

Revisions for Weekly Reporting Banks
BEGINNING with the data for April 26,
1961, the weekly series of statistics reported
by member banks inf leading cities reflects
revisions in the classification of deposits and
an increase in the coverage of the series.
Changes in the deposits classification
were made largely to measure amounts due
to foreign entities and the amounts of savings accounts. The changes in coverage,
which increased total assets by approximately $1.7 billion, were to eliminate adjustments that had been made in the series
since July 1, 1959. These adjustments were
made to prevent distortions that would otherwise have resulted from mergers of nonreporting banks with reporting banks. The
increased coverage is being carried back to
July 1, 1959, the date of the previous
revision in the series, and data for the period
July 1, 1959-April 26, 1961, will be published in a forthcoming BULLETIN. Figures
for the revised classification of deposits will
not be available for dates before April 26,
1961.
DEPOSITS

The form for reporting deposits was revised
to provide the following new items: (1) demand deposits due to mutual savings banks,
(2) savings deposits in the time deposit
category, and (3) for both demand and
time deposits, several items classified as foreign, chiefly amounts due to foreign governments and official institutions, central
banks, and international institutions. Items
in group 3, together with deposits of foreign banks, make up the new "foreign" cate-




gory that is available for both demand and
time deposits. Postal savings deposits, previously reported separately, were combined
with U. S. Government time deposits.
Demand and time deposits due to mutual
savings banks had previously been reported
with other "interbank" accounts, and deposits in the new "foreign" category had
previously been reported largely as "foreign
interbank."
Reporting member banks were asked to
classify their deposits on both the old and
new bases as of April 26, 1961. The table
shows how deposit items were affected by
the new classifications.
The new concept of demand deposits adjusted includes all demand deposits except
those of the U. S. Government and domestic
commercial banks, less cash items in process
of collection. This differs from the previous
concept because of the inclusion of demand
deposits due to mutual savings banks ($524
million) and deposits due to foreign entities
($1,491 million). Of the latter, $1,437
million had previously been classified as
foreign interbank deposits and $54 million
as domestic interbank deposits. As a result
of changes in classification as of April 26,
1961, demand deposits adjusted (new concept) increased from $62,049 million to
$64,064 million.
COVERAGE

A net increase in coverage resulted from
eliminating adjustments previously made at
the time of bank mergers to prevent distortions. The series now embraces 106 cities

(including only the head-office cities of
branch systems) and 356 banks. This represents a reduction of one in the number of
cities and 12 in number of banks since July
1, 1959. One reporting bank had moved its
head office to a reporting city, and this
caused a reduction in the number of headoffice cities. The reduction in the number
of banks resulted from mergers and absorptions and from the withdrawal of one bank
from Federal Reserve membership.
Mergers of two large banks accounted
for about $1 billion of the $1.7 billion increase in coverage. Numerous other mergers

of nonreporting banks with reporting banks
accounted for the remainder.




LOAN CLASSIFICATION

Minor revisions in the loan classifications of
foreign banks, "other nonbank financial
institutions," and "all other" loans resulted
from more precise definitions of loans to
international institutions and foreign entities. These ^classifications resulted in decreases of $163 million in loans to foreign
banks and $28 million in loans to "other"
nonbank financial institutions, and an increase of $191 million in "all other" loans
as of April 26, 1961.

656
RELATED CHANGES IN OTHER REPORTS

The enlarged coverage has caused a minor
addition to the totals shown in the Board's
weekly release, "Changes in Commercial
and Industrial Loans by Industry" (H. 12).
In the back data from July 1, 1959, through
April 26, 1961, this addition has been included in the residual item of "unclassified
borrowers."
The change in classification of deposits
for weekly reporting member banks is consistent with the changes in the deposit schedules of the call report of condition, which
was first used as of April 12, 1961.
The Board's press statement (G. 7) showing statistics on condition of all banks in the




FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • JUNE 1961

United States and the monetary system,
which is issued twice each month, and the
related tables in the BULLETIN, "Consolidated Condition Statement for Banks
and the Monetary System" and "Principal
Assets and Liabilities and Number of All
Banks, by Classes," will also be affected by
the changes in deposit classifications. However, these revisions will not be made until
early 1962, when year-ago data will be
available on a comparable basis, and when
other revisions will be made in that series.
The Board's monthly release of "Bank
Debits" (G. 6) will reflect the revised deposits classifications beginning with the data
for June 1961.

"The approval of the Comptroller of the
Currency shall be required if the total of all
dividends declared by [a national bank] in
any calendar year shall exceed the total of its
net profits of that year combined with its
retained net profits of the preceding two
years. . . ."
Under the sixth paragraph of Section 9 of the
Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 324), member
State banks are required "to conform to the provisions of Section 5199(b) . . . with respect to
the payment of dividends," except that the approval of the Board of Governors is required in
lieu of the approval of the Comptroller.
The question has arisen whether it is necessary,
in determining whether a bank's dividends in a
particular year "exceed the total of its net profits
of that year combined with its retained net profits
of the preceding two years," to take into consideration the amount of a net loss in the current
year or in one or both of the preceding two years.
The purpose of the 1959 amendment of Section
5199(b) was to prevent a bank from paying a
dividend (except with supervisory approval) unless it has on hand, from operations during the
three latest years, sufficient net profits to cover the
proposed dividend. If a net loss for one or more
of those three years was disregarded in making
the calculation called for by Section 5199(b), a
member State bank could pay dividends, without
the approval of the Board of Governors, even
though the aggregate results of the three latest
years' operations was a net deficit. This was precisely the sort of situation in which Congress intended to prevent the payment of a dividend unless
the supervisory authority was satisfied that special
circumstances justified the proposed dividend.
Accordingly, it is the position of the Board that,
in making the calculation required by Section
5199(b), it is necessary to take into consideration
the actual results of operations during the current




year and the two preceding years, whether the
figures for those years are plus or minus figures.
For example, if a bank had
(a) retained net profits of $30,000 from
1959;
(b) a net loss of $40,000 in 1960 (and dividends of $10,000 were paid in that year,
with the Board's approval); and
(c) net profits of $20,000 in 1961,
it could not pay any dividend in 1961 without the
Board's approval, since the calculation required
by Section 5199(b) would result in a zero figure
($30,000 minus $50,000 plus $20,000). It will be
noted that, for the purposes of Section 5199, any
dividends paid in a loss year must be included in
the "net loss" for that year, just as dividends paid
in a profitable year must be deducted from "net
profits" in calculating "retained net profits."
Loan which is Secured Indirectly by Stock
A question has been presented to the Board as
to whether a loan by a bank to a mutual investment fund is "secured . . . indirectly by any
stock" within the meaning of Section 221.1 of
Regulation U, so that the loan should be treated
as subject to the regulation.
Briefly, the facts are as follows. Fund X, an
open-end investment company, entered into a loan
agreement with Bank Y, which was (and still is)
custodian of the securities which comprise the
portfolio of Fund X. The agreement includes the
following terms, which are material to the question
before the Board:
(1) Fund X agrees to have an "asset coverage" as defined in the agreements) of
400 per cent of all its borrowings, including the proposed borrowing, at the
time when it takes down any part of the
loan.
(2) Fund X agrees to maintain an "asset
coverage of at least 300 per cent of its
borrowings at all times.
(3) Fund X agrees not to amend its custody
agreement with Bank Y, or to substitute

657

658
another custodian without Bank Y's
consent.
(4) Fund X agrees not to mortgage, pledge,
or otherwise encumber any of its assets
elsewhere than with Bank Y.
In 1958 Federal Reserve BULLETIN, at page
1279, the Board stated that because of "the general
nature and operations of such a company," any
"loan by a bank to an open-end investment company that customarily purchases stocks registered
on a national securities exchange . . . should be
presumed to be subject to Regulation U as a loan
for the purpose of purchasing or carrying registered stocks" ("purchase loan"). The Board's
interpretation went on to say that "This would not
be altered by the fact that the open-end company
had used, or proposed to use, its own funds or
proceeds of the loan to redeem some of its own
shares. . . ."
Accordingly, the loan by Bank Y to Fund X
was and is a "purpose loan." However, a loan by
a bank is not subject to Regulation U unless (1)
it is a purpose loan and (2) it is "secured directly
or indirectly by any stock." In the present case,
the loan is not "secured directly" by stock in the
ordinary sense, since the portfolio of Fund X is
not pledged to secure the credit from Bank Y.
But the word "indirectly" must signify some form
of security arrangement other than the "direct"
security which arises from the ordinary "transaction that gives recourse against a particular chattel
or land or against a third party on an obligation"
described in the American Law Institute's Restatement of the Law of Security, page 1. Otherwise
the word "indirectly" would be superfluous, and
a regulation, like a statute, must be construed if
possible to give meaning to every word.
The Board has indicated its view that any arrangement under which stock is more readily available as security to the lending bank than to other
creditors of the borrower may amount to indirect
security within the meaning of Regulation U. In
an interpretation published at 1959 Federal Reserve BULLETIN 256 it stated
"The Board has long held, in the . . .
'purpose' area, that the original purpose of a
loan should not be determined upon a narrow
analysis of the technical circumstances under
which a loan is made. . . .
"Where security is involved, standards of
interpretation should be equally searching."




FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • JUNE 1961
In its pamphlet issued for the benefit and guidance
of banks and bank examiners, entitled "Questions
and Answers Illustrating Application of Regulation U," the Board said
"In determining whether a loan is 'indirectly' secured, it should be borne in mind
that the reason the Board has thus far refrained . . . from regulating loans not secured by stock has been to simplify operations
under the regulation. This objective of simplifying operations does not apply to loans in
which arrangements are made to retain the
substance of stock collateral while sacrificing
only the form."
A wide variety of arrangements as to collateral
can be made between bank and borrower which
will serve, to some extent, to protect the interest
of the bank in seeing that the loan is repaid,
without giving the bank a conventional direct
"security" interest in the collateral. Among such
arrangements which have come to the Board's attention are the following:
(1) The borrower may deposit stock in the
custody of the bank.
An arrangement of this kind may not, it is true,
place the bank in the position of a secured creditor in case of bankruptcy, or even of conflicting
claims, but it is likely effectively to strengthen the
bank's position. Section 221.3 (f) of Regulation
U, which provides that
"A loan need not be treated as collateralled
by securities which are held by the bank only
in the capacity of custodian, depositary or
trustee, or under similar circumstances, if the
bank in good faith has not relied upon such
securities as collateral in the making or maintenance of the particular loan."
does not exempt a deposit of this kind from the
impact of the regulation unless it is clear that the
bank "has not relied" upon the securities deposited with it.
(2) A borrower may not deposit his stock
with the bank, but agree not to pledge
or encumber his assets elsewhere while
the loan is outstanding.
Such an agreement may be difficult to police, yet
it serves to some extent to protect the interest of
the bank if only because the future credit standing
and business reputation of the borrower will depend upon his keeping his word. If the assets

659

CURRENT EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
covered by such an agreement include stock, then,
as under (1) and (3), the stock is "indirect security" for the loan within the meaning of Regulation U.
(3) The borrower may deposit stock with a
third party who agrees to hold the stock
until the loan has been paid off.
Here, even though the parties may purport to
provide that the stock is not "security" for the
loan (for example, by agreeing that the stock may
not be sold and the proceeds applied to the debt
if the borrower fails to pay), the mere fact that
the stock is out of the borrower's control for the
duration of the loan serves to some extent to
protect the bank.

The three instances described above are merely
illustrative. Other methods, or combinations of
methods, may serve a similar purpose. The conclusion that any given arrangement constitutes
"indirect security" may, but need not, be reinforced by facts such as that the stock in question
was purchased with proceeds of the loan, that the
lending bank suggests or insists upon the arrangement, or that the loan would probably be subject
to criticism by supervisory authorities were it not
for the protective arrangement.
Accordingly, the Board concludes that the loan
by Bank Y to Fund X is indirectly secured by the
portfolio of the fund and must be treated by the
bank as a regulated loan.

RESIGNATION OF MR. SZYMCZAK AS A MEMBER
OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS

Mr. M. S. Szymczak, who had been a member of
the Board of Governors since June 14, 1933,
resigned effective June 1, 1961. Prior to his appointment as a member of the Board of Governors,
Mr. Szymczak had been engaged in the educational field as well as in commercial banking. He
was Comptroller of the City of Chicago at the time
of his appointment to the Board.
Mr. Szymczak's letter of resignation and the
President's letter of acceptance follow:
April 21, 1961.
The President,
The White House.
Dear Mr. President:
My purpose in writing you at this time is to
apprise you of my intention to resign my position
as a Member of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System. As you may be aware,
it has been my pleasure to serve in this capacity




for nearly 28 years, following my appointment by
President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Two years after
my appointment, with the enactment of the Banking Act of 1935, existing appointments to the
Board were terminated effective January 31, 1936.
Thereafter, terms of Members were for 14 years,
such terms so arranged as to provide for the expiration thereof at two year intervals. I was
appointed for a term of 12 years commencing
February 1, 1936, and reappointed for 14 years
from February 1, 1948. My present term expires
on January 31, 1962.
Throughout my years of service I have held the
conviction that the experience gained and judgment developed in this period of time should be
utilized by me, both while a Member of the Board
and thereafter, in contributing what I am able to
the fields of Government service and education,
and to other related fields of endeavor. As a member of the Board I have striven to contribute to
the formulation of sound Federal Reserve System
policy that would be, in turn, reflected in the
nation's financial and economic development. It

660

FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • JUNE 1961

is now time, I feel, for me to direct my efforts, in
major fashion, to contributions in the fields of
education and related matters.
Accordingly, and in pursuit of this latter objective, I tender to you my resignation as a
Member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to be effective by June 1,
1961, or such earlier date as may be convenient
to you. Chairman Martin is presently in Europe.
On his return about the middle of May, it is my
hope that he and I may have the opportunity to
call upon you.
Subsequent to my leaving office I intend to
undertake preparation of a book in the field of
comparative monetary policy, publication of which
I hope will serve as a useful vehicle for the transmission of my experience and knowledge gained
in this field. Simultaneously I intend to undertake
the conduct of courses in the same and related
fields in the Graduate School of Georgetown
University and also to serve as a financial consultant.
In leaving the Board of Governors I am deeply
appreciative of the opportunity that has been
afforded me to serve the Government and the
public, and I trust my plans for the future will
enable me to continue in that service. Should you
determine, at any time in the future, that I may be
of service to you, it will be my privilege and
pleasure to respond.
Respectfully,
M. S. Szymczak.
May 27, 1961.
Dear Mr. Szymczak:
I have your letter submitting your resignation as
a Member of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, after nearly 28 years
of service in that post.
In accordance with your wishes, I hereby accept
your resignation, effective as of June 1, 1961.
In doing so, I want to express appreciation for
the service you have rendered to the government




and the public over these many years, and to extend best wishes for the future.
Sincerely,
John F. Kennedy.

Employment and income continued to rise and
retail sales advanced. Commercial bank credit
rose further. In late May and early June, capital
market financing was in large volume and bond
yields increased.

advance, reflecting gains in industrial and commercial machinery and in farm equipment.
Iron and steel output rose more than 10 per
cent in May, and a further increase is indicated
this month as steel ingot production declined less
than seasonally in early June. In May there were
also increases in construction materials, textiles,
chemicals, and paper products.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

Industrial production increased 3 per cent
further in May to 108 per cent of the 1957 average, compared with 102 in the first quarter and
110 in mid-1960. Since February, production of
materials has risen 8 per cent and final products
4 per cent. Output of final products, both consumer goods and equipment, is close to previous
highs.
Gains were widespread in May. Among consumer goods, production of television and radio
sets, furniture, and some other home goods continued to increase. Auto assemblies rose again
and production schedules for June indicate a
moderate further increase. Over-all output of
consumer staples and apparel also rose in May.
Production of business equipment continued to

New construction activity increased 2 per cent
in May and was at a seasonally adjusted annual
rate of $56.5 billion. Public activity rose about
4 per cent, reflecting principally a substantial increase in highway construction; private work increased slightly further.
EMPLOYMENT

Seasonally adjusted employment in nonfarm
establishments rose further in May and was 500,000 above the low reached in March, although
700,000 or more than 1 per cent below the prerecession high of July 1960. In May, gains occurred in most manufacturing industries and were
especially large in the steel, fabricated metals, and
auto industries. Employment reached new highs
in finance and State and local government.
Mainly because of a continuing increase in the
average factory workweek, weekly earnings rose
further and were slightly higher than a year earlier. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate
remained just under 7 per cent, the level prevailing since December.

Retail sales rose 1 per cent in May, following
a decrease of a like amount in April, and were
2 per cent below the year-earlier rate. Increased

May. Sales at department stores edged off, after
a sustained rise, but were higher than a year
earlier.

COMMODITY PRICES

Prices of steel scrap and some other sensitive materials advanced while prices of some steel mill
products were reduced. Wholesale prices of meats

relatively large.

weeks ending June 7. Between early May and
early June reserves were absorbed principally
through currency outflow and were supplied
through Federal Reserve purchases of U. S. Government securities. Required reserves declined
somewhat.
SECURITY MARKETS

Total commercial bank credit rose about $1.5
billion further in May, reflecting increases both in
holdings of U. S. Government securities and in
loans. The average money supply, seasonally adjusted, declined slightly while time deposits continued to show substantial growth and U. S. Government deposits rose sharply. Seasonally adjusted turnover of demand deposits increased.
Member bank borrowings from Federal Reserve Banks averaged about $100 million and
excess reserves about $585 million over the four

New security financing by corporations and
State and local governments was in large volume
in May and early June. On June 8, the Treasury
raised $1.8 billion in cash by auctioning additional
amounts of 18 outstanding issues of bills.
Bond yields generally increased between midMay and mid-June. Yields on all maturities of
Treasury securities rose sharply in the second
half of May and the first week of June and then
declined somewhat. The rise was sharpest in
yields on issues maturing in 3-5 years, which in
early June reached new highs for this year. Common stock prices, after reaching a record high in
mid-May, declined on balance to mid-June, and
the volume of trading decreased substantially.

and standard silver dollars of a monetary value equal to the face amount
of such silver certificates; and (4) as security for gold certificates—gold
bullion of a value at the legal standard equal to the face amount of
such gold certificates. Federal Reserve notes are obligations of the
United States and a first lien on all the assets of the issuing Federal Reserve
Bank. Federal Reserve notes are secured by the deposit with Federal
Reserve agents of a like amount of gold certificates or of gold certificates
and such discounted or purchased paper as is eligible under the terms of
the Federal Reserve Act, or of direct obligations of the United States.
Each Federal Reserve Bank must maintain a reserve in gold certificates of
at least 25 per cent against its Federal Reserve notes in actual circulation. Gold certificates deposited with Federal Reserve agents as collateral, and those deposited with the Treasury of the United States as a
redemption fund, are counted as reserve. Gold certificates, as herein
used, includes credits with the Treasurer of the United States payable
in gold certificates. Federal Reserve Bank notes and national bank
notes are in process of retirement.

Reserve Banks held by member banks is included in other securities and
in capital and miscellaneous accounts, net, and balances of the Postal
Savings System and the Exchange Stabilization Fund with the U. S.
Treasury are netted against capital and miscellaneous accounts, net,
instead of against U. S. Govt. deposits and Treasury cash. Total deposits
and currency shown in the monthly Chart Book excludes foreign bank deposits, net, and Treasury cash. Except on call dates, figures are rounded
to nearest $100 million and may not add to the totals.

mutual savings banks that became members in 1941 (these banks are
excluded from all commercial banks).
Stock savings banks and nondeposit trust companies are included with
commercial banks. Number of banks includes a few noninsured banks,
for which asset and liability data are not available. Comparability of
figures for classes of banks is affected somewhat by changes in Federal
Reserve membership, insurance status, and the reserve classifications of
cities and individual banks, and by mergers, etc.
2
Beginning with June 30, 1942, excludes reciprocal balances, which on
Dec. 31, 1942, aggregated $513 million at all member banks and $525
million at all insured commercial banks.
3
Includes other assets and liabilities not shown separately.

Data for cols. 4-7 are for last Wednesday of month.
ledger balances of member firms of the New York Stock Exchange
carrying margin accounts, as reported to the Exchange. Customers' debit
and free credit balances exclude balances maintained with the reporting
firm by other member firms of national securities exchanges and balances
of the reporting firm and of general partners of the reporting firm. Balances are net for each customer—i.e., all accounts of one customer are
consolidated. Money borrowed includes borrowings from banks and
from other lenders excert member firms of national securities exchanges.




3
Figures are for weekly reporting member banks. Prior to July 1959,
loans for purchasing or carrying U. S. Government securities were reported separately only by New York and Chicago banks. Accordingly,
for that period col. 5 includes any loans for purchasing or carrying such
securities at other reporting banks. Composition of series also changed
beginning with July 1959; revised data for the new reporting series (but
not for the breakdown of loans by purpose) are available back through
July 1958 and have been incorporated.

The figures include all securities sold by dealers under repurchase
contracts regardless of the maturity date of the contract unless the contract
is matched by a reverse repurchase (resale) agreement or delayed delivery
sale with the same maturity and involving the same amount of securities.
Included in the repurchase contracts are some that more nearly represent
investments by the holders of the securities rather than dealer trading
positions.

Averages are based on number of trading days in the week.

4 On Jan. 1, 1959, holdings of commercial banks increased by $143
million, and those of mutual savings banks declined by that amount,
as a result of the absorption of a mutual savings bank by a commercial
bank.
5 Data reflect a $40 million reclassification by one bank from commercial and industrial to real estate loans, reported August 24, 1960.

Corporation from data supplied by Federal and State bank supervisory
agencies, Comptroller of the Currency, and Federal Reserve.

v Preliminary.
NOTE.—^Certain mortgage loans secured by land on which oil drilling
or extracting operations are in process are classified with farm through
June 1959 and with "other" nonfarm thereafter. These loans totaled
$38 million on July 31, 1959.
For loans acquired, the monthly figures may not add to annual totals,
and for loans outstanding, the end-of-December figures may differ from

end-of-year figures, because monthly figures represent book value of
ledger assets whereas year-end figures represent annual statement asset
values, and because data for year-end adjustments are more complete.
SOURCE.—Institute of Life Insurance; end-of-year figures are from
Life Insurance Fact Book, and end-of-month figures from the Tally of
Life Insurance Statistics.

1 Extensions and repayments include current data for Alaska and
Hawaii beginning with January and August 1959, respectively. The
differences between extensions and repayments do not equal the changes
in outstanding credit for 1959 because the differences do not reflect the
effect of the introduction of outstanding balances for these two States.
2 Obtained by subtracting instalment credit repaid from instalment
credit extended, except as indicated in note 1.
NOTE.—Monthly figures for 1940-54 are shown on pp. 1043-48 of
the BULLETIN for October

1956; for

1955-59, in the BULLETIN for

December 1957, pp. 420-22, November 1959, p. 1418, and December
1960, pp. 1406-09.

89

A discussion of the composition and characteristics of the data and
a description of the methods used to derive the estimates are shown
in the BULLETIN for January 1954, pp. 9-17. Estimates of instalment
credit extended and repaid are based on information from accounting
records of retail outlets and financial institutions and often include charges
incurred under the instalment contract. Renewals and refinancing of
loans, repurchases and resales of instalment paper, and certain other
transactions may increase the amount of both credit extended and credit
repaid without adding to the amount of credit outstanding.

1 Data on extensions and repayments have been adjusted to avoid
duplication resulting from large transfers of other consumer goods paper.
As a result, the differences between extensions and repayments for some
types of holders do not equal the changes in outstanding credit.
2 Extensions and repayments include current data for Alaska and
Hawaii beginning with January and August 1959, respectively. The
differences between extensions and repayments do not equal the changes
in outstanding credit for 1959 because the differences do not reflect the
effect
of the introduction of outstanding balances for these two States.
3
Obtained by subtracting instalment credit repaid from instalment
credit extended, except as indicated in notes 1 and 2.

the BULLETIN for October 1956; for 1955-59, in the BULLETIN for

December 1957, pp. 1421-22, November 1959, p. 1419, and December
1960, pp. 1406-09.
A discussion of the composition and characteristics of the data and
a description of the methods used to derive the estimates are shown
in the BULLETIN for January 1954, pp. 9-17. Estimates of instalment
credit extended and repaid are based on information from accounting
records of retail outlets and financial institutions and often include charges
incurred under the instalment contract. Renewals and refinancing of
loans, repurchases and resales of instalment paper, and certain other transactions may increase the amount of both credit extended and credit
repaid without adding to the amount of credit outstanding.

* Preliminary.
For govt. sectors, saving is excess of all nonfinancial receipts over all
nonfinancial outlays; investment, changes in financial assets and liabilities
only. Govt. current outlays include, and govt. (and national) investment
excludes, govt. purchases of tangible assets.
2 Annual figures for farm sector are retained earnings of corporate
farms; farm and nonfarm unincorporated businesses shown as having
zero annual net saving. Quarterly figures for both sectors include seasonal
net saving. See p. 838 of the BULLETIN for August 1959.
3 Depreciation, accidental damage to fixed capital, and capital outlays
charged to current account. Line H includes amounts for financial
sectors not shown separately. See discussion on p. 836 of the BULLETIN
for August 1959.
4 For consumers, 1-to 4-family dwellings completed and purchases of
additions and alterations. Investment of nonfarm business sectors
includes work in process on 1-to 4-family dwellings and other private
Notes to table on opposite page.
1 Demand deposit liabilities of banking system are net of F. R. float
and cash items in process of collection as reported by commercial banks.
Sum of sector holdings (partly on holder-record basis) differs from liability
total mainly because of mail float (checks in transit from drawers to
drawees). For further discussion, see p. 853 of the BULLETIN for August
1959.
2 Consumer-held only; includes net interest accruals. Savings bonds

i The data include: (1) banks of which the bank holding companies
owned or controlled 25 per cent or more of the outstanding stock, and
(2) nine domestic commercial banks that are themselves bank holding
companies. (A list showing the names and total deposits of the banks
is available upon request.) The nine banks have 61 branches and deposits
aggregating $1,879,787,000. Exclusion of these 70 banking offices and
their deposits from the data in the table would reduce the percentage
ratios shown in the table as follows: Holding company groups to all
commercial banks in 31 States—number of banking offices, from 9.14
to 8.71; deposits from 10.62 to 9.53; holding company groups to all
commercial banks in United States—number of banking offices, from
6.18 to 5.88; deposits from 7.95 to 7.13.

Data for individual States represent bank holding companies having
subsidiary banks in the respective States rather than registered bank
holding companies whose principal offices are located in such States.
Total does not equal sum of State figures because it has been corrected
for duplications; that is, holding companies that have subsidiary banks
in more than one State are included in the total only once.
The 47 bank holding companies included in the total represent only
42 separate bank groups because in five cases the bank group is controlled
by a bank holding company that is in turn controlled by another bank
holding company. These groups are located in the following States:
Florida, one; Georgia, two; Indiana, one; and Massachusetts, one.

Tables on the following pages include the principal available statistics of current significance
relating to international capital transactions of
the United States, foreign gold reserves and dollar holdings, and the balance of payments of the
United States. The figures on international capital transactions are collected by the Federal Reserve Banks from banks, bankers, brokers, and

dealers in the United States in accordance with
the Treasury Regulation of November 12, 1934.
Other data are compiled largely from regularly
published sources such as central bank statements and official statistical bulletins. Back figures for 1941 and prior years, together with descriptive text, may be obtained from the Board's
publication, Banking and Monetary Statistics.

Represents reported gold holdings of central banks and governments
and international institutions, unpublished holdings of various central
banks and governments, estimated holdings of British Exchange Equalization Account based on figures shown for United Kingdom, and estimated official holdings of countries from which no reports are received.
The figures included for the Bank for International Settlements represent the Bank's gold assets net of gold deposit liabilities. This procedure
avoids the overstatement of total world gold reserves since most of the
gold deposited with the B.I.S. is included in the gold reserves of individual
countries.
