Henry Morgenthau, jr., the
Woungish Secretary of the Treas
Ilry, apparently does not like his
press conferences.
He fidgets. He Squirms and,
generally, seems very i'll at ease.
However, he's becoming more and
more popular with newspaper men
as he goes deeper into his pro-
gram.
Friends who know Mr.. Morgen-
thau say he is not accustomed to
have the press probing into
affairs apparently Of no conse,
QUence or secretive. That, they
gay, is the reason he fidgets and
Squl-nlS.
incidentally, Secretary Morgen-
ti1au has <equeSted all local banks
70 help him out in a big way, and
the DistrIc5 of Columbia Bankers
Associate is cooperating. Sec.
getary Moryenthau sent this tele-
gram:
