Morgentl,au, Eccles Fight
 It Out Ouer Features of
 Ne,v Pump-Primmg Scheme
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Almost every Saturday, Mariner s. Eccles, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, drives over to the Treasury for lunch with Secretary Morgen- thau Often it is pleasant little affair
 But in late weeks if the lunch con has been pleasant it is to the surprise of observers, who have noted growing rivalry between the two for the ear of the President and for the advancement of con- flicting views. Morgenthau, be- hind the scenes, opposed the pump priming plan. Eccles favored it and the President liked it.
 More recently an equally sharp conflict arose between the two on an important bit of government policy that was hard to write into headlines but was nonetheless i'm portant And again, Eccles had an edge.
 By an agreement of the Treasury and controllery of the currency (both Morgenthaus) the Deposit Insurance Corporation tindepen- denD and Eccles' federal reserve, banks were given leeway, such as they had not had in many day, in lending money to small local in- duStry.
 Out of the agreement are ex- pected several things:
 Expansion of bank loans to small industry for modernization and repairs amounting, in estimates here, to many millions, or perhaps a billion or more.
 2-Benefit to big industry in fill ing machinery and equipment or ders for little industry's moderniza- tion
 3-A healthier glow in the bank ing community as it expands its business and checks the tendency of the Federal government to step I in with credit where banks lately have refused to go.
