J. Leary, remarked about the Row land statement, that he had told the new controller Tuesday all he had to say which was, in effect, that all of the records were there in the office and that everything was in order when I left the of1ce."
 Those close to the former control Ter remarked, however, that the de- mands of MT. Rowland appeared to be the "fore-runner of fishing eX- petition designed maliciously to cast reflection on the former controller and members of his staff" They added: If the books are really miss ing"
 May Be Seeking Funds
 Generally, the opinion of those familiar with the situation concur red in the belief that the new con- troller might be seeking funds to pay his personal accountant, Will liam J. Armstrong;" whom the con- troller has engaged on his own ac- count to keep tabs on the city's fn- ancial scheme.
 However, MT. Armstrong, today, was busy about the affairs of the office, with conferences between the controller, Thomas F. Purcell, the incumbent" accountant who "dis- covered" the books were missing"
 Report from MT. Purcell was that all of the city pay checks due for delivery yesterday had been meted out, albeit some of them arrived around o'clock, according to re- port. Most of the police, street, fire department employees, obtained their pay only couple of hours later than usual, 1t was remarked.
 MT. Purcell said that he didn't know where the story about is com ing from but it isn't from this side of the line" when asked last night about the delay in pay.
 Meanwhile, the controllers office is under strict rule, with a sign on the outer office door, Employees Only" and drastic changes are un- der way. One feature of the new ap- pearance of the office, what with two veterans removed to the third floor subordinate office, is the 1887 calen- dar which vies for prominence with one for the current year.

ENGINEER TOOK
 HIS OWN LIFE

Stevenson, Conn.,, Jan. 6-(UP)- Orson H. Marchant, 55, well known New Haven civil engineer who dis appeared Tuesday, was found in a wooded section here today with a bullet wound in his temple.
 State police said death apparent ly was suicide.
 The body was found by his busi- ness partner, Jonathan s. Randall, who was cruising the section in his car for trace of Merchants auto- mobile. Noticing tracks leading into the woods, Randall came upon the machine, and short distance away the body.

sonnel may put a firmer floor under MT. Roosevelt's wage and hour bill, intended to provide minimum pay and maximum working hours for workers.
 More Roosevelt Justices
 It may be assumed, too, that MT. Roosevelt's belief that national emergency serves in way to en- large federal powers under flex- ible constitution may be bolstered by additional Roosevelt Justices" to the Supreme Court. MT. Roose- welt stated his flexible constitu- tion theory in his first inaugural address. It was a factor in the Schechter case arguments over con- stitutionality of NRA and the court voided MIRA unanimously.
 The court probably will pass on additional major cases this year and it is assumed that MT. Roosevelt will hurry his new nominations to the senate to obtain the advantage of another favorable vote. It is notable that with changes now in progress in court personnel, there probably is an anti-utility majority in the making.
