Washington April 10. The federal
reserve bank organization committee
today Issued a statement defending
Its choice of reserve bank cities and
definition of districts. It was the first
official answer made to criticisms
oleed In congress and heard from
cities which sought reserve bttnlca
but failed to gel them. For tho first
time some of the data used by the
committee in reaching Its conclusions
waa mude public.
Particular attention was given to
the committee's reasons for choosing
Atlanta. Ga. and . I tallas Texas In
preference to New Orleans; for se
lecting Richmond Va. instead of
Baltimore and for naming Kansas
City Instead of ltenver. Omaha or
Lincoln. The committee called at-

that the (apital and surplus of na-

it was less but that In both l tallas

than in Ihe loutsiana city.
