WASHINGTON 0 - T h e
Federal Reserve Board aimed
a one-two punch at inflation'
yesterday. It ordered banks to
curb their lending by holding
greater reserves and it boost-
ed from 5%/2 to 6 per cent the
interest it charges on its loans
to member banks.
The discount rate hike will be
effective today in all parts of the
iation except New England but
banks will have until April 17 to
prepare for the higher reserve
requirements - much stronger
economic restrictions.
Designed to' make borrowing
more expensive and thus restrict
the amount of lending in the na-
tion, the two-pronged action was
described tersely by the board as
"a further move against infla-
tion."
While the jump in the discount
rate to 6 per cent brought it to a
10-year high, the action will have
less impact on lending than the
change in reserve requirements.
These were boosted one-half of
one per cent on- demand deposits
- primarily checking accounts --
to a top rate of 17% per cent for
the largest banks.
Requiring a bank to hold a
greater share of its demand de-
posits in the form of cash means
it cannot lend as much as form-
erly.
Thus, the surface result of
boosting the reserve requirements
will be to force nearly 6;000 na-
tional banks in the Federal Re-
serve system to let $650 million
of their funds lie idle. But the in-
direct, and more significant effect
will be to kill potential loans
amounting to far more, possibly
in excess of $3 billion.
That the Fedei'al Reserve would
raise the discount rate was a fore-
gone conclusion after New York
banks moved March 17 to increase
the "prime r'ate"-the interest
rate they charge on loans to their
major borrowers with the best
credit standing-from 7 to 72 per
