James Roosevelt,
Pettengill Debate
NEW YORK, Jan. 20-ttpy-
James Roosevelt debated the wis
dom of the Roosevelt government
reorganization bill with Rep. Pet
tengill (D-Ind), tonight urging
its enactment to provide a "gov
ernment that can make - the
grade." They spoke in the forum
of the town hall of the air.
Pettengill, conceding that the
bill contains numerous good feat
ures, objected vigorously to two
provisions: That supplanting the
comptroller general with an aud
itor general, and that giving the
president authority to regroup the
Independent agencies under the
executive departments.
The comptroller general, by
passing upon the legality of ex
penditures before they are made,
he said, had. "saved and recovered
millions Illegally spent."
Roosevelt said the comptroller
general "did not catch the Teapot
Dome, scandal,"- nor the 'rcent
theft of $84,000 from the CCC
and had "never yet given congress
an audit Of the fiscal affairs of
the United States for any fiscal

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. -OP)
J. F. T. O'Connor, comptroller of
the currency,' resigned today and
persons close to him said he would
seek the democratic nomination
for governor of California.
... O'Connor declined, however, to
expand previous"' statements " he
was considering the race. In his
letter of resignation he said mere
ly he wanted to return to Cali
fornia to "take care of pressing
matters there."
The resignation actually -will
not take effect until April 1 be
cause President Roosevelt asked
the comptroller not to give up his
federal activities entirely until
that time.
The Comptroller's letter said In
the five years he has supervised
the national banks there were only
12 failures, a smaller number than
in any previous administration. He
attributed this to Roosevelt pol
icies.
Since 1933, O'Connor added, the
capital structure ot the national
banks had been strengthened,
their deposits, have been Insured
and they have received the largest
deposits in their history.
Unless the president names a
successor when O'Connor leaves,
Marshall R. Diggs of Dallas, Tex.,
will become acting comptroller.
He was promoted to be first dep
uty comptroller two weeks ago on
the recommendation of O'Connor.
