No one noticed that his adversary.
House Chairman Bteagall, who was
standing around to see that glass
did not claim too much, said noth
ing. Nor was any particular atten
tion given to the fact that the
general of the routed army' (Chair
man Eccles of federal reserve) also
expressed his pleasure.
Suspicious souls, however, will
agree that, If both Ecclea and Glass
are pleased, one of them la being
misled. If you look Into It, you will
glean more then a suspicion that It
probably la Olasa.
For Instance, the biggest dispute
centered In the question of con
trolling credit Inflation (open mar
ket operations). Ecclea wanted sole
power within the board under his
own thumb. Glass wanted control
spread to a committee of seven board
members and five reserve bank preal
dents. Olaas won.
But the subtle catch In It la that
President Eoosevelt will select the
soven board members, furthermore,
through them, he will have a veto
power over the selection of the live
reserve bank presidents, and. In fact,
all reserve bank presidents. If he
cannot select a board he can con
trol. It will certainly he his own
fault.
What Senator Glass appeara to
have done la to make It annoying
but not difficult for the president
to do so.
Tou can ace the same point bet
ter If you look behind the new pro
vision kicking Treasury Secretary
Morgenthau off the board. The pur
pose of thia was to maintain an
Illusion that the board Is not sus

As a matter of practical fact, the
board chairman Is to be Mr. Morgcn
thau'a protege. Governor Ecclea. II
Mr. Morgenthau cannot work through
Mr. Ecclea and the president to In
fluence the board aa much as he
ever did aa an ex-ofllclo member. It
will be because there Is something
wrong with Mr. Morgenthau.
To make the delusion complete,

American Telephone tfc Telegraph
company directors today authorized
the usual quarterly dividend of $3.35

a distribution of about A43.000.000

trial concerna to go through the de
pression without lowering lta divi
dend. American Telephone has an
unbroken record since 1931 of 9 an

In each year since '1030 the company
has had to draw upon surplus to pay
a part of the dividend, but In aplte
of this policy it had cash reserves
of more than $250,000,000 at the end
of 1034.
In telephone Installations and
earnings the trends have been up
ward more than a year, but revenues,
according to recently published fig

dend requirements. For the five
months ended May 31 the company's
proportion of net Income of the Bell

grass and chapparal. One of
the horses was so severely burned.
It will have to be shot.

their business of gathering berries as
