Committee Scans
Bond Trends and
Reserve Policies
By the Associated Press.
The Federal Reserve System's Open
Market Committee is meeting today
for its annual election of an executive
committee.
Officials said the meeting was called
before heavy selling developed last
Friday in the Government bond mar
ket and forecast that no action look
ing to the support of Government
bonds would be taken.
It was indicated, however, that the
committee would survey bond market
conditions.
The open market group has charge
of the Reserve Board activities in the
purchase and sale of Government obli
gations. Informed authorities have
predicted it would buy Federal obli
gations to check any sharp break in
the market.
