NEW YORK, Mar. 12— OLE) — Beer by spring was forecast tonight by Speaker Henry T. Rainey of the house of representatives.
Here with majority leaer Joseph W. Byrns to address a meeting of the Tammany club of the 8th assembly district. Speaker Rainey declared that a beer bill will be introduced following an adjournment of the house, expected in about three weeks.
If necessary, the speaker said, the bill will be introduced under a suspension of the rules and its passage is assured. The return of beer he believes may be an “opening wedge” for restoration of prosperity.
More than 120 breweries. Speaker Rainey pointed out, are ready to swing into operation, and expenditures to place the brewing industry in operation would amount to approximately $420,000,00 during
the first year. No decision as to alcoholic content has yet been reached, he pointed out.
The speaker predicted that congress will pass laws to establish a new banking system.
“Any government guarantee of bank deposits,” he said, “is very uncertain, but immediate action along any line suggested by President Roosevelt will likely be taken.”
Along with majority leader Byrns and Congressman William Slrovich of New York, the speaker admitted that the present issue of new currency to federal reserve banks is "controlled inflation.”
“The maximum issuance of the new money,” he said, “will be $11,-000,000, and this may be called in when necessary. The new currency will be known as ‘federal reserve bank notes’ and is backed by assets of federal reserve member banks.”
“Mountain Paradise,” a western melodrama, starring Ann Bartosh and Bill Shaw, was started on production yesterday by the department of cinematography, University college unit.

The nation moved cautiously back toward its normal financial status tonight with banks in 12 cities scheduled to reopen tomorrow.

Public confidence in the tempor arily paralyzed financial structure surged higher over the week-end Gold streamed out of hoards accumulated in the last ten days and went back into bank vaults.
Secretary of the Treasury Woodin issued six more regulations tonight, the most important of which permits private banks, such as J. P. Morgan & Co., to open tomorrow, provided such action is consistent with state laws. Others permitted to operate under that classification are money lenders, pawn brokers, and automobile credit agencies.
Federal Reserves to Open The second ruling permits all federal reserve banks and their branches t.o open tomorrow for usual banking functions but a previous executive order restricts opening of federal reserve member banks to licensed banka in the 12 federal reserve cities.
Authority is given to state banking authorities to allow state banks to reopen at their discretion tomorrow in each of the 12 cities.
On Tuesday morning licensed banks which are not members of the federal reserve system, but which are located in cities that have clearing house associations will resume business.	• • *
Wednesday morning licensed banks not included in either of the foregoing classifications will be al* lowed to reopen.
Open 6000 In Systefn •
Latest available figures show there are 6,080 national and 824 state banks in the federal reserve system. There are 18,768 state banks which are not members of the federal reserve.
Since President Roosevelt issued his proclamation closing all these institutions a wreek ago tonight the nation has gone through an almost unprecedented seven days. Millionaires and laborers alike have been forced to conserve their coppers to get the necessities of life In the temporary crisis.
Another factor in the gigantic task of reopening the banks is the distribution of the new currency. Even working at top speed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Is able to turn out only $30,000,000 worth of the new notes daily. The added two days under the stagger system will give the bureau more time to catch up
