WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 31. 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.

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

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

HALLOWE'EN PLEA

Last Hallowe'en the city water de
partment experienced very heavy
losses In broken and lost shut-off
box lids. These concrete lids make
a loud report when damped on
porchea by thoughtless children and
as they are convenient and loose,
they come In for a good deal of at
tention. 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.

today for the abandonment of price
fixing In the lumber Industry NRA
code.
Carrying with their plea the
weight of the largest lumber pro
ducing area in the country, the trus
tees of the association were on a rec
ord by a 14-to-7 vote asking their
officers, employes and delegates to
the national lumber code authority
to work for the abandonment of price
fixing.
The move, following weeks of un
rest In the Industry, waa paralleled
by a federal court action at Portland
In which Federal Judge John H. Mc-
Nary, saying he had "serious doubts"
about the legality of the price pro
visions of the NRA code, had also
ruled against them.
In federal court here another simi
lar case was being heard by Federal
Judge E. E. Cushman. The action at
Portland and the code authority's
move were both made late yesterday
Tho 14-to-7 vote of the association's
board was recorded despite the oppo
si tlon of Its leaders, who have been
outspoken In recent weeks support
ing the code.
At Portland. Federal Judge McNary,
a brother of Senator Charles L. 'Mc
Nary, ruled that temporary restrain
