UNIT To LOSE
BENNETT
Utahan Will Quit in 10 Days;
Federal Reserve Situation
Grows Complicated
By ROBERT J. THORNBURGH

BY ROBERT ). IhOhNDOhOh
Retirement of E. G. Bennett
Utah banker, as director of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Cor
poration within 10 days was re-
garded as probable today.
Mr.. Bennett already has sub.
mitted his resignation to Presi.
dent Roosevelt. 1t will be &C
copied as soon as a successor is
named.
Eccles For Black Post
At the same time it was stated
that M. S. Eccles, special assist,
ant to Secretary Morgenthau, was
the leading candidate to succeed
Gov. Eugene R. Black as head of
the Federal Reserve Board, al,
though a number Of other candi.
dates were mentioned. Mr.. Eccles
and Mr.. Bennett are owners Of a
group Of banks in Utah.
No successor to Mr.. Bennett
so far has been mentioned. Con-
siderable interest has been at
tached to this appointment in
view Of reported differences in
the FDIC as to operating pol
icieS between Chairman Leo T.
Crowley and the third director,
Comptroller of the Currency J. F.
T. O'Connor.
Mr.. Crowley and Mr.. Bennett
have stood together on the FDIC
board.
The Federal Reserve Board sit
uation is somewhat complicated.
Mr.. Eccles and Adolph Miller, a
member of the original board
appointed by Woodrow Wilson,
both are from the San Francisco
district, which includes Utah,
the law providing that no two
members may be from the same
district.
Can Reorganize Board
Mr.. Miller's term expired Au-
gust 8. He is said to be anxious
for reappointment. Mr.. Miller
is a close personal friend of the
President. It was not expected
that action would be taken on
his post until it is finally deter
mined who will be named gov
ernor.
Mr.. O'Connor has been men
toned as a candidate for COVER
nor of the board and also a
possibility as Federal Reserve
agent for the San Francisco dis
trict, post which pays $4,000
annually, about twice as much as
reserve board governor.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been in the
unique position of virtually hav-
ing the opportunity to reorganize
the Federal Reserve Board to his
own liking. Owing to vacancies
he has selected three new mem
bers, Mr.. Black, j. j. Thomas
and M. S. SzycZak, as we'll as
Mr.. Morgenthau and Mr.. O'Con,
nor, the two eX-officio members.
He is now in the position to
name Mr.. Blacks successor and
rename Mr.. Miller or replace him
with another member, Other
members of the board include
Charles S. Hamlin and George
r. James.

Seldom have I attended q
studio preview Of a production
at which the great army Of re-
viewers, amateur George Jean
Nathans and others Of the al
legged critical group have so
whole-heartedly voiced a general
cheer Of acclaim as was the case
when Eddie Small flashed 1.-THE
Count Of Monte Cristo" on the
screen.
An extremely lengthy and diff
ficult subject to film, is Dumas
immortal story, indeed a classic
and thusly so due to its arnaz-
ing collection Of all the neces-
Sary drmatic elements, /. e., ro-
nance, sacrifice, passion, COM
edy relief, greed, heroics, re-
Venge, disgrace and glory.
Perhaps no other story Is so
complete with varying moods,
excitement and adventure-and
Producer Small has done a mas
terful job in getting all this on
the screen. Costly, yes, but it is
an easy prediction to state that
he will receive much profit for
his efforts.
The public has long desired
motion pictures that move. 80.
action with the thrill of adven.
ture-and Monte Cristo" Is all
Of that told superbly, smoothly
and with directorial deftneSs by
Rowland v. Lee.
Then, too, there Is that new
conner, certainly headed for cine
m attic fame, Robert Donat,
whose personality grows upon
one and whose ability Is second
only to Fredric March.
ELISA Landi does nicely as the
heroine, but that is all. Out
standing In the large cast are
Sidney Blackmer, Louis Calhern,
Raymond Walburn and o. P.
Heggie.
To you movie fans-"The
Count Of Monte Cristo" is the
type Of film you will urge your
best friends to see!
