Bill to Permit Signing of
Industrial Codes.
BY the Associated Press.


ALBANY, August 28.-New York
State suspended its antitrust law to-
day to permit full operation of the
national recovery act within the
States borders. Gov. Herbert H. Leh-
man signed a bill passed by the Legis-
lature to permit the suspension for the
duration of the national act.
Under the bill which the Governor
signed, any code Of competition or
trade agreement approved by President
Roosevelt becomes New York State law
for the duration Of the national recov-
cry act.
The suspension of the State anti
trust law will permit the formation of
codes of competition and trade agree
ments which heretofore were violations
of the State act. This law was passed
to supplement the Federal Sherman
antitrust laws.
The measure to which Mr.. Lehman
affixed his signature was one of several
IN. r. A bills" passed by the Legisla-
ture during its extraordinary session,
ended last week, to bring the State
laws into conformity with the Federal
program.
Another Of them, which Gov. Lehman
also signed today, permits New York
State to loan the Federal Government
the services of any State employe to
aid in administering the N. r. A. pro-
gram.

any face-Saving connection in their
coming journalistic adventure.
They denied it in turn before a large
assembly of reporters in Astor's down
town Office.
From reading the morning papers" :"
said Astor, lone might be led to believe
that Mr.. Moley really resigned as As
sistant Secretary of State as the result
of disagreement in the State Depart
ment following the London Conference.
That isn't true"
There is no denying the fact that
resigning as a result of a conflict Is
interesting" said Moley, who is to be
editor of Astor's forthcoming weekly
political journal, "but it just isn't So"
Job Pending for Months.
For months we have been working
over this thing" said Astor.
"If you look through the file you'll
find a radio asking me to lunch to dis
cuss this thing the day returned from
London" said Moley.
The idea began way back in
March," said Astor. I'VE even had
our searchers looking for daily paper,
and once thought We had one in Bos-
ton or Washington"
I'D ten times rather do this than
hold a public Office" said Moley.

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, August 2s.-Judge Harry
B. Keidan, sitting as Detroit's one-man
bank investigating jury, said today he
will order conservators Of the Union
Guardian Trust Co. and the Detroit
Trust CO. to examine the books Of
their institutions to determine whether
there have been criminal acts in con-
duct or management.
The action, he said. follows the testi-
mony OF United States Senator James
Couzens, Republican. of Michigan be-
fore the jury that the Union Guardian
Trust Co. "jockeyed" the $4,000, 900
Children's Fund of Michigan, which the
Senator founded, out of 100000. and
that the closed First National Bank
Detroit and the Detroit Trust Co.
switched" funds in order to increase
their respective cash positions.
Judge Explains Order.
The Judge said that the conserva-
tors of the two institutions were ap-
pointed by the Circuit Court, and the
order to them to perform the examina-
ton will be the same as though the
grand jury carried out the investiga-
ton. Harry j. Fox Is conservasor for
the Detroit Trust Co. and George H.
Kirchner for the Union Guardian
Trust Co.
Arthur ]. Lacy, attorney for Senator
Couzens and for the Detroit Trust Co.,
on the stand today, testified that, so far
as he has been able to learn, there has
been no criminal action in the con-
duct of the trust company. Lacy said
one of the chief obstacles to the Fed
eral Government in reorganizing the
closed First National Bank-Detroit and
the Guardian National Bank Of Com
merce, specific objects Of inquiry by the
Jury, was the submission by local lead
ers OF numerous plans of reorganiza-
ton, all of which left out any pro-
vision for assessment of stockholders. .
Wilson w. Mills former chairman OF
the board of the First National. charged
by Rev. Father Charles A. Coughl1n.
militant priest, with presenting false
reports of the banks condition, today
requested permission to return to the
witness stand following Lacy.
Previously Mills testified that failure
of the Union Guardian Trust Co. to
obtain loan from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation caused the Michi-
gan bank holiday, and that the change
in policies of the Federal Government
from leniency in appraisals to one Of
strict valuation brought on dimculties
in local banks.
Information Seen withheld
Senator Couzens, on the witness
stand for four days, charged that local
witnesses had not told all they knew
about the States banking crisis, and
suggested that books of the two trust
companies be examined. declaring they
would reveal interesting material as to
what caused the banking debacle."
He declared that both the Detroit
Trust Co. and the First National, which
we're jointly controlled by their hold
ing company. the Detroit Bankers Co.,
had traded loans when visits of bank
examiners were imminent. increasing
in their reports, their respective cash
positions by approximately $6,000,000.
