LOANS MADE COAST BANKS (Continued from first page) obtained a loan from the Reconstruetion Finance Corporation. "The publication of the July report of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, during the month of August, did not have the bad effect upon the banks as predicted by the opponents of the provision. "This is shown by the greatly decreased number of bank suspensions that have occurred since the report was published. "During the month of July there were 131 suspensions. During the month of August 85 suspensions; and during the month of September 63 suspensions, XXX "All of the other objections raised in the brief as to the wisdom of policy of requiring public monthly report of the corporation's activities were presented to Congress by the corporation or other persons before the act was passed." The report itself showed that a considerable number of loans which were authorized during August were withdrawn or cancelled in full, including authorizations to 35 banks and trust companies aggregating $2,631,571. Bank and trust companies in Mississippi received loans as follows: Biloxi, Peoples Bank $20,000: Booneville, Bank of Booneville, $84,500 Clinton, Bank of Clinton $31,315.40 Greenwood, Greenwood Savings bank (receiver) $140,000.
