WOULD ABOLISH
U. S. COMPTROLLER
Reserve Board Urges Under
Secretary of Treasury
in Place.

SPECIAL Despatch to THE NEW YORK HEg...o
WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-Recommenda-
tions for abolishing the Office Of the
Comptroller OF the Currency and Of the
creation OF the Office OF Under Secretary
os the Treasury in charge~of fiscal af-
fairs were made by the advisory council
of the Federal Reserve Board in a
resolution adopted to-day.
The council was in session two days
in its statutory organization meeting
the first Of the year. Its recommends
ton regarding the Comptroller who
now is John SHELTON Williams, is re-
garded as significant on the eve Of a
change in administration. Comptroller
Williams has never been confirmed by
the Senate on his reappointment by
President Wilson early in 1919. A bitter
fight was made on him. He was kept
in office through the resurrection Of an
old statute providing that the Secretary
or the Treasury could AL the Office by
a. 7intment until a successor was duly
no. mated and confirmed by the Senate
After Comptroller Williams failed Of
confirmation the President failed or re-
fused to submit name for the vacancy
and Williams is serving under appoint
ment by the Secretary of the Treasury.
There will be Republican Secretary of
the Treasury March A. The new Ad-
ministration will take prompt action in
regard to the office, either by consolida-
ton with the Reserve Board. as recon-
mended by the advisory council, or
through naming a new Comptroller.
1t has been understood that Comp II OIL
Ter Williams was on the point OF resign
ing TO enter private business, but he has
rot vet taken action In this respect, so
far az known. He probably will serve at
least until March 4.
Abolition OF the Comptrollers office
was recommended by the advisory coun-
Gil Of the Federal Reserve Board year
ago, but the Recommendation failed of
support from the Administration. 1t was
made on the ground that the functions Of
the Office overlap those of the Reserve
Board and that national bank supervi-
sion and the keeping Of reports and re-
turns should properly lie with the board.
At present there are four assistant
secretaries Of the Treasury OF equal
rank and Importance, having charge
Of various and frequently unrelated
bureaus. 1t Is proposed to have all
fiscal matters, the collection OF tax
moneys and other revenues and the
shap ping OF fiscal and bugetary policies
under direct charge of an under secre-
tary. The public health, coast guard.
supervising architects and other bureaus
would be left under assistant secre-
taries.
1t is proposed also that the Cnder
Secretary OF the Treasury take the
place OF the Secretary on the Federal
Reserve Board.
l.. l.. Rue of Philadelphia was elected
president and Paul NJ. Warburg Of New
York. vice-president OF the new ad-
visory council. The executive co1n-
naittee members in addition to these
two are: Philip Stockton Of Boston,
]. ]. Mitchell OF Chicago. f. o. Watts
of st. Louis, and e. f. Swinney Of
Kansas City.
The council gave 1t as its view that
no reduction In Federal Reserve re-
discount rates was warranted at this
time.

STATE WILL APPEAL
DECISION ON RATES
Judges Uphold Interstate
Commerce Commission.

ALBANY, Feb. 22.-An appeal will be
taken immediately from a decision filed
to-day by Federal Judges Martin. Ray
and Hazel, In Utica, that the Interstate
Commerce Commission has the right to
regulate freight and passenger rates In
New York State. IL was made known
soon after the decision became ssiblic
that Charles ID. Newton, Attorney-Gen-
eral. will fight the case in the Supreme
Court OF the United States. Edward O..
Griffin. Deputy Attorney-General, said
that Mr.. Newton hopes the case may be
argued In Washington next month.
The Utica decision upheld the right OF
the railroads to increase both freight
and passenger rates, at the same time
denying Attorney-General Newton's mo-
tion for an injunction to prevent such an
Increase. Al the same time the decision
granted the motion OF the United States
Government and the lterstate Com
merce Commission to dismiss the bill OF
complaint for want of equity and re-
strained the Public Service Commi ssion
and the Attorney-General from COM
mencing any action to enforce provisions
of the law OF the State regarding fares
and freight rates or from doing any
thing that would prevent the roads from
charging the intrastate fares established
by the Interstate Commerce Commission.

day in the Senate and the measure was
passed without a record vote two hours
before the expiration OF time allotted

handling Of crude oil as produced.
r. L. Welch. general secretary of the
institlte. who signs tho report. places
the world production OF petroleum in
1920 at 6ss.00o.0o0 barrels compared
with 661 10000 barrels in 1919, a gain
OF 131.500.000 barrels, or 1856 per cent.
The increase last year compared with
an average OF So per cent. in the ten
year period to 1919.
OF the 1920 production, 44S,402. 900
barrels We're produced in the United
