The new deal haa moved mountains and Mohammeda without much trouble, but It haa dis covered that mov ing Controller J. p. T. O'Connor Is something 1 a again. It has always shown enthu siasm In trying to tlnd Jobs for people, but never k more emnuBium than It displayed In getting an Mhr loh for lta own controller. ""' " The whole story may never get out, officially, especially the part about how they nearly split the federal re serve board wide open In their ef forts. Reserve board meetings are great secrets. Next to the meetings of the supreme court, there Is praC' tlcally nothing aa secret In Wash Inton. But, If you had been at the keyhole of the board meeting about two weeks ago, you would have col lected some Interesting data. r I E Separate Service On Each Voter Necessary to Re strain Balloting of 24,000 High Court's Declaration You would have heard Mr. O'Con nor recommended for the luscious post of reserve agent for the San Francisco federal reserve bank. That Job carrlea 24,000 a year, or twice as much aa Mr. O'Connor was then get- ting. Everything would have been peaceful and pleasant In this dispo sition of Mr. O'Connor, but two mem bers objected. They said they came from the Pacific coast area, had been through the territory recently, and that neither they nor the territory wanted Mr. O'Connor. (The real reason for their objec tion probably was that they hBd a candidate of their own, the capable Wilson McCarthy, Hoover appointee to the RFC). The debate got so hot that they had a vote on It. The vote showed three to two against O'Connor until Treasury Secretary Morgenthau rush ed Into the breach. Morgenthau took the unusual step of exercising hla right to vote on the board. He voted to give O'Connor the Job. That tied 1 up, at three all. Mr. Morgenthau la not the kind of man to let a little thing like a tie vote stand In bis way of getting a nice Job, 3000 miles away, for Mr. O'Connor. He went to work on the matter. The biggest Influence In the new deal also went to work on the board. As a result, another meeting was called a few days ago. Another vote was taken. That vote showed five to one in favor of getting Mr. O'Connor to San Francisco aa soon as possible. The one dissenting vote wss cast by Adolph Miller. There Is still some feeling high up In the new deal about Mr. Millers' failure to make it unanimous. Nevertheless, Mr Morgenthau won and the offer was made. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31. (API Purging the registration rolls In Loa Angeles county of alleged illegal reg istration by a single suit affecting 24,000 voters waa prohibited today by the state supreme court, which left the way open for action on the basis of Individual service. The high court's order prohibited the Loa Angeles superior court, where the action originated, from taking action affecting the rights or status of any defendant who had not been regularly served with summons, or who has! not been otherwise person ally served with notice to appear or who has not appeared In the case. What meaning would be given to the w o r d a "otherwise personally served" waa not Immediately deter mined. In the original suit. 24,136 per sons were named as having regis tered fraudulently In Los Angelea county. 8tate Attorney General U. 8. Webb, who filed the suit, asked an Injunction restraining those named from voting. A group of the defendants asked the higher court for a writ to pro hibit the Los Angelea courts from Issuing any Injunction. Supporters of Upton Sinclair, former socialist and democratic candidate for gov ernor, charged the ault was a con spiracy to disenfranchise voters en masse. I Heads Legion Women II 0 I 1 U.0. L n.

(Associated Press Photo Casual readers mr.y wonder why there was all this (-xcltement about finding such an excellent Job for Mr. O'Connor when there are so many other people available. The truth Is. Mr. O'Connor rubbed the right peo ple here the wrong way. That la a mild way of putting It. Hla relations with Treasury Secretary Margenthau have not been cordial from the atart, and everyone around the treasury haa believed for months that the Issue might ultimately get down to a quea. tlon cf the survival of the fittest. There have been more or less open hints from the FDIC and the treas ury that everyone would enjoy life a lot mora around here without any dissenting Influences. If Mr. O'Con nor heard these hlnta, he did no' take them. He was confirmed for hl Job by the senate and he could not be removed without eaue, even by the president. Admittedly there was no such cause. But the feeling against him grew when he had some unfortunate ex perlencea with news men. They also have wanted a man they would work with. Anyone who wants to take on Mr. Morgenthau, the FDIC and the press at the same time has a Job on hla hands. At a special meeting of the city council held last evening, an ordin ance waa passed adopting the pro posed budget, which has previously been published. The budget for 1035 cells for aiB6.2S2.58.

HALLOWE'EN PLEA ETO Last Hallowe'en the city water de partment experienced very heavy losses In broken and lost shut-off box lids.

Water Superintendent Robert Duff, estimated that the cost of re placing these articles last year ran between 76 and tlOO. Duff said he feU sure that If the children's par ents would point out to them tho destructive angle of such a practice, last year's experience would not be repeated. Another phase that Is evidently overlooked Duff said, Is the danger of someone stepping in an open shut-off box and breaking a leg or twisting an ankle; fortunately this did not occur last year.
