'CONNOR GIVES
BANK RELIEF
APPROVAL
Comptroller of Currency Says
He Has No Objection to RFC
Purchase of Assets
By EUGENE A. KELLY


Opening the way for relief to
thousands of depositors in closed
banks here. j. F. T. O'Connor,
Comptroller of the Currency, an.
nounced today that he would not
block any move whereby the Re
construction Finance Corporation
would buy the assets Of the banks.
Breaking a long silence regard"
ing his stand in the matter, Mr..
O'Connor today stated he is per
fectly willing that the RFC pur.
chase the assets"
Jesse H. Jones, chairman of the
RFC, already has said his cor.
poration would buy the assets Of
closed banks, if requested. The
RFC is authorized to make these
purchases by the Steagall amend
ment which passed the last session
Of Congress. This bill was heartily
Endorsed by Representatives Clar.
ence j. Mcleod (R), Of Michigan,
and supported by The Washing
ton Times.
Purchase Of the assets in closed
banks by the RFC would mean
the end Of receiverships and sub
sequent relief to depositors. The
assets would be purchased by the
RFC on a liberal basis.
Expense Not Eliminated
In making known his stand, Mr..
O'Connor pointed out that the
overhead incurred in making COL
lections on outstanding loans
would not be eliminated. He said:
"If the RFC should purchase
the assets of these closed banks,
and the Comptroller is perfectly
willing that it should, no more
efficient personnel could be OBJ
tanned by the RFC to administer
the assets Of the banks.
"SOme few people have the er-
rOneous idea that if the RFC
purchased the assets the entire
overhead would be eliminated
and in some mysterious way the
indebtedness to the various
trusts would be repaid without
the expense and effort of col
lectiOnS."
Although the Comptroller would
not block the RFC purchase plan,
it is known that he is not sym.
pathetic toward it, on the ground
that the RFC will lend on the as"
sets as much as it will pay on an
outright purchase.
Mcleod Has New Bill
In the forthcoming session OF
Congress, Representative Mcleod
will introduce a bill. passage OF
which would mean that the RIG
would be forced to buy the assets
of closed banks. It is the con-
tention of Mr.. Mcleod and his
followers that the RFC purchase
plan, while it may not reduce
the cost to the depositor in any
appreciate degree, at least al
fordS immediate relief.
In other words, Mr.. Mcleod be.
lieves; the depositor should get
his due now and let the RFC hold
the assets, since that corporation
is in a better position to walt
over a period of years until the
assets are liquidated.

BOYS FIND GOLD
IN CACHE

BALTIMORE, Sept. Gold
coins, totaling $11,220, rested in
a police station vault here today,
the find of two small boys un-
covered the fortune while digging
in the basement of an old South
Baltimore home yesterday.
The boys, Theodore Jones, IS,
and Henry Grob, Is, turned the
money over to police because they
didn't want to get arrested for
evading President Roosevelt's gold
boarding laws" The coins, crusted
with mold, were of $40, $40, IS,
$3.50 and 81 denominations.
Wide speculation arose today
regarding the rightful owner of
the yellow metal. Some con-
tended the owner of the house,
a large Baltimore real estate firm,
could claim the coins, while others
believed the boys would be en-
titled to the money.
Police, in taking charge of the
fortune, promised the boys 1t
would be returned to them. Both
said they would buy their parents
new homes with the money.
Investigating the find, police
attempted to round up the history
of the homes previous tenants. 1t
was found that about so years ago
it was occupied by an aged sea
captain. This led police to believe
that the money might be part Of
an old treasure.
The money had been hidden in
an old gallon bucket, which had
rotted away. It was buried about
a foot below the surface of the
ha Snnnent floor

FISCAL POLICIES
HELD BAS|SOF
MANY ROWS
Cases of Other Federal Aides
Who Have Quit Recalled
as Budget Head Goes
BY International News Service

The resignation Of Lewis Doug
las, young, independent director
Of the budget, was accepted in
Washington today as marking
still another distinct cleavage
between the New Dealers" and
the "Old Dealers" in matters of
Federal fiscal policy.
The resignation was not wholly
unexpected, for it has been known
for some time that Mr.. Douglas
has been out of sympathy with
the spending plans of the Ad-
ministration, and the methods
adopted to obtain the necessary
funds. Mr.. Douglas is a conser-
vative, almost ultraconservative,
where Federal finances are con-
cerned.
Joins Other "Outs"
He goes now to join on the
sidelines Prof. o. M. w. Sprague,
the erstwhile adviser to the Bank
Of England: Dean Acheson, for
mer undersecretary of the Treas
ury, and others who have opposed
the Administrations fiscal poll
CieS.
Prof. Sprague resigned because
he opposed the gold-buying policy
Of the Administration, which re-
suited in a profit" of $780,
100000 to the Federal Treasury
by dollar devaluation. Mr.. Ache
son resigned because he insisted
upon dollar sterilization and was
suspected of promoting opposition
to Administration policies.
Mr.. Douglas resignation is set
down as due to his all-around
general lack of sympathy with
the Administrators fiscal poll
cies, more particularly the addi-
tional huge OUTLAWS that are
planned for PWA and Federal
relief.
It has been Mr.. Douglas job
to balance the budget. His
friends here say that in view of
the Administrations plans for
PWA and FERA he does not now
believe it will be possible to strike
a balance and, such being the
case, he chose to retire.
In the early days of the
Administration, Mr.. Douglas was
one of those described as being
"closest" to the White House. He
sat in on most of the important
conferences that mapped out the
beginnings of the New Deal. He
even participated in Cabinet
meetings, on occasion.
First Rift Noted
The first rift between the
budget director and the White
House came during the London
economic conference last summer,
when the question of hitching
the dollar to the pound and the
franc was at white heat. Mr..
Douglas was for sterilization,
along with Prof. Sprague, Dean
AcheSon, James P. Warburg,
James M. Cox, and others. Mr..
Roosevelt not only would have
none Of it but he sent mes
sage to the London conference
which all but broke it up.
1t was rumored that Mr.. Doug
las would resign when Prof.
Sprague and Mr.. Acheson quit
and when Mr.. Warburg left the
Administration ship and began
taking pot-shots at the Admins
tration's fiscal policies. But Mr..
Douglas chung on, although it was
noticeable that his calls at the
White House became less and less
frequent as time went on.
