TREASURY HEAD
PLANNING No
CHANGES
Morgenthau Assumes Post;
BaiIIie Will Not Be Made
UnderSecretary
By international News Service

BY International News Service
Henry Morgenthau, jr.. Of New
York city, assumed control Of
the Federal Governments finances
today following induction into
office yesterday at the White
House as Secretary of the
Treasury.
Morgenthau's appointment was
announced by the President
Immediately following the resigna-
tion of william H. Woodin, also
Of New York, who has been i'll
in Arizona. Morgenthau said:
'tNO change will be made in
Treasury policy"
It was indicated that Earl
Baillie, special assistant to the
secretary, would not be named
undersecretary. Baillie came to
Washington with the intention
Of remaining only a few months,
Morgenthau said. His appoint
ment had been criticized by
Senator Couzens (R.) of Michigan
because Of a connection with a
New York stock and bond firm.
Criticism No Factor
Officials denied, however, that
Couzens' opposition had anything
to do with the decision not to
appoint Baillie undersecretary, a
position which has been held by
a distinguished line of appointees,
including S. Parker Gilbert,
former agent general for German
reparations; Girard Winston,
Ogden L. Mills, and A. A. Ballan-
tine.
Morgenthau was appointed
undersecretary and acting Secre-
tary following the virtual retire
ment Of Woodin, whose illness
forced him to quit his post. It
has been recognized generally,
however, that Woodin was not in
entire sympathy with the Presi-
Dental program on money! al
though he affirmed frequently
that he was cooperating with the
Administration 100 per cent.
AchesOn Dropped
Immediately upon the appoint
ment Of Morgenthau, Dean
Acheson, Acting Secretary Of the
Treasury and undersecretary, was
dropped. It was stated that he
was out Of sympathy with the
Presidents monetary program.
Thomas Hewes, assistant secre-
tary, also resigned, but because
of personal differences with
Morgenthau.
Morgenthau's entrance to office
was featured by the announce
ment of a strict censorship which
prohibited any official except
himself and his press agent from
talking to newspaper men. The
censorship rule led to a protest
by newspaper correspondents to
the President and there was some
slight relaxation. A partial censor
ship remains in effect.

PUT
INTO EFFECT BY
13,423 BANKS
Deposits to $2,5 Guaranteed
Until July; System Then
to Be Extended
BY International News Service

Opening a new era in the
American banking system, the
Federal Deposit Insurance Cor
poration's guarantee went into
effect today.
Renewed faith in the banking
system was expressed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt as officials an
nounced that 1923 banks had
been admitted under the in
surance plan.
Deposits up to $4,000 are guar
anteed in full from January l to
July /. After that, deposits up
to $4,000 will be guaranteed 100
per cent, those up to $4,000, IS
per cent, and those over $4,000,
so per cent.
Unified System Seen
Chairman Walter j. Cummings
of the corporation, predicted the
operation of the corporation was
one of the most significant and
far reaching banking policies ever
inaugurated by any nation and
would end this country's bank
ing difficulties which have re-
suited in the loss of many bill
lions in recent years.
Eventually the effect of the
corporation is to result in a uni-
fled banking system for the
United States.
All non-member banks Of the
Federal Reserve System must
have filed application for en-
trance into the corporation by
July /. All non-member banks
must have qualified for admission
to the Federal Reserve System by
July l, 1886.
This will set up a system of
banking under more strict super
vision Of the Federal Govern
ment than ever before has ex-
listed.
End Of Heavy Losses
In the opinion of banking Off
cials, it will eliminate the bulk
Of the heavy losses that have
occurred in the last few years
from bank failures.
Bank deposits of the United
States amount to about AZ bill
lion. Cummings said 81 per cent
of the bank accounts were in
Sured 100 per cent. The bulk Of
the bank accounts are in
amounts of far less than $2,5OO.
The member banks of the Fed
eral Reserve System automatic
ally became members of the in.
Surance corporation. Nonmember
banks were required to submit
applications for membership and
were entered following examina-
ton on proper qualification.

Control Plan for Price Rise

100 Chiefs in Shake-up !
BY international News Service

By international News Service
Sweeping reorganization of the
Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration, latest storm center Of
the Roosevelt brain trust, was
under way today at Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace's orders. A
hundred division chiefs have lost
their jobs.
The reorganization junks much
Of the set-up left by George N.
Peek, until recently co-adminis-
traitor of this emergency branch
Of the agricultural agency.
Peek was transferred after he
and Wallace became deadlocked
on further procedure. particularly
on the codes of the food and
grocery trades.
BroOkhart Joins Peek
The overhauled AAA will be
consolidated largely into an
agency to direct the gigantic crop
control program already launched
by Wallace, which will reach its
peak this year.
Former Senator Smith W.
Brookhart Of Iowa, was trans
ferred from the AAA foreign
trade section to the new foreign
trade branch under Peek.
Operations will be directed by
Chester C. Davis, successor to
Peek, as Adjustment Administers
tor. He also is carrying out the
re-vamping of the bureaus, but
the lines on which this is being
done are those laid down by
Wallace.
TOlley Elevated
The new group will revolve
around a greatly augmented COM
modities division, to be headed
by Victor A. Christgau, former
Minnesota Congressman and close
associate Of Wallace in the Agri-
culture Department.
With Christgau will be two
associate administrators, H. r.
Tolley, Berkeley (CalD dean Of
the departments economists, who
will head a new planning Sec
tion to deal with production ad-
justment problems, Wallace's chief
interest; and Alfred stedman.
former correspondent for Mime
sofa newspapers and recently
serving as director of information
for the department.
Back to Army
Oscar Johnston. Of Scott, Miss,
will remain at his present duties
on the cotton program. Major
Robert M. Littlejohn, borrowed
from the Army during Peek's
regime for a coordinating agent.
is expected to return to the
Army when his duties will permit.
Assisting Christgau in the newly
strengthened commodities division
will be Jesse W. Tapp, Of Hender.
son, KY. formerly head of the
New England Research Council
and recently directing the general
crops section Of the department.
1884 Price Drive
The changes will result in q
contracted personnel, it is said.
and the major effort will be in
pushing the tremendous 1884 drive
to raise agricultural price levels
through application Of Wallace's
principle of crop adjustment.
This drive will cost the Govern
ment more than $1,250,O00,000 in
benefit payments to producers for
crop curtailment in the coming
year, and will involve drastic cuts
in output of virtually every agri'
cultural commodity.

BYRD COSMIC RAY DATA
AIDS ELECTRICAL THEORY
Compton Announces Important Ex
ploratory Information Re
ceived From Commander.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, January 31.-Dr. Ar
thur H. Compton. who has been stick
ing a physicists pins into cosmic rays
for years, yesterday announced that
Comdr. Richard E. Byrd had sent him
new exploratory data tending to show
the rays are partly electrical in nature" :"
Here on hurried trip to the Gen.
eral Electric Co.'S Nela Park labora-
tories, the University Of Chicago
scientist said the Antarctic voyager had
wirelessed him information picked up
by delicate instruments prior to the
time the expedition reached New zea-
land.
DR.. Compton explained that the new
data amounted to this: Confirmation
that the rays are affected by the
earth's magnetic field and, at least IN
part, are electrical in nature. The in
struments picked up increased intensity
in the ray as Byrd left the Equator
and Travelled southwark.
The Chicagoan added that prior to
Byrd's findings he himself already had
tentatively established those facts.
Today's announcement was the flrst
information made public on the nature
Of the ray since the Settle Fordney
Shakespeare flight several weeks ago.
The balloon also carried Compton ray
instruments.
