WASHINGTON, Jan. 39 -President
Roosevelt's dexterity as an alchemist
waa never better Illustrated than In
the selection of
the federal re
serve board. The
man In the atreet
may not know It,
but that board
means more to
his everyday life
than any other
official authority
1 n government.
Jt runs the fln-
iDCH of the
country: which la
to say, it runs the
PAUL MALLON country. Mr.
Roosevelt may be the janitor of pie
government house, but the FRB Is
the control valve (or the heating and
cooling systems.
KIs problem was to renovate the
board, remove old banking codwcds,
protect It from aelf.combuetlble fire
brands and get Governor Ecclea con
firmed past Senator Glass.
With scientific methods In his
White House lab, he composed the
contrary political Influences Into a
substance which la not by any means
pure gold but at least Is a board
with a few splinters In It.-
Half the new board waa hla own
Idea and the other half was to get
around Senator Glass. ,
The first things be put Into his
mixing glass were the reappointment
of his financial man Friday (Gover
nor Eccles) and a sound liberal whom
he found on the board (M. S. Ssymc
aak). Only the Insiders knew It but
Szymczak has frequently disagreed
with Ecclea, notably against the Ec
clea centralization of the open mar
ket committee. ' , -"'
- .' Neat, Mr. Roosevelt put in his old
friend, Joseph Broderlck, superintend
ent of banks In New Tork. Stolyears
ago, as governor, he named Broderlck
to the New York Job. Financial men
characterized Broderlck as a man with
bis feet on the ground.
These three Eccles. Szymczak and
Broderlck were the Roosevelt Ideas.
Georgia senators are understood to
have been behind , the No. 4 man,
Ronald Ransom. He combines the
legal with the banking type of mind,
will probably be the composing spirit
needed on every . board of directors
to get opposing factions together. Af
ter all. It la not Inadvisable to have
one banker on a federal reserve board
governing banks.
The Ohio senator, Bulkley (cloee
friend of Senator Olass), Is sponsor
for the No. 8, John McKee, but RFC
Chairman Jesse Jones Is supposed to
have put the anointment over. Mc
Kee waa an examiner for Jones, and
Is also a solid citizen.

of tlw-oidnv Gillette watf specifically
ohnrged with the embezzlement of

The court denied Gillette's plea
for leniency, on the grounds that
"In cases of betrayal of trust, It la
against public policy to extend par
oles or suspended sentences."
"I plead guilty, and know t did
wrong," Gillette told the court. "J
will pay the money back. X believe
the lodge would rather have the
money than see me serve a prison

Gillette also waived his right for
