.KdnzIer Denies
Army, Business
Battle for WPB
Difference of Ideas,
They Work Together,
ES-Direc+or Declares

Reports Of a showdown fight
between the army and big bust
mess for control of the War Pro
|duction Board and the entire wal
purchasing setup have beer
branded pure poppycock" by Err
nest c. Kanzler, who recently
,resigned as director general Of
lWPB.
ITS difference OF ideas
rather than "A fight," he said.
They work together once they
agree on a plan. Actually Dom
aid Nelson and Gen. Brehon
SOmmerVelI are as close together
as it's possible for two people
10 be. It's like couple of ball
playersAthey may not agree
whether TO hit or bunt, but
they're both playing on the Same
team To win," kanZler added.
DENIES HE HAD QUIT
Here at his Detroit offices iH
the Universal Credit Company for
a one-day stopover before he
leaves for an extended rest, Kan
zler also took occasion to set al
rest rumors that he had quit
because Ferdinand Eberstadt's
materials plan had been
adopted rather than a more verti-
cal purchasing and supply setup
sponsored by Kanzler and the auto
industry.
"When I was here over the
Christmas holidays, had
physical checkup and was told
that rest was advisable. Now
I'm following the doctors
advice"
However. I'm frank to admit
that / still feel that the plan we
sponsored was superior To the
one adopted" he continued
laughing.
There's too much paper work
I'm the present plan. IL can be
made more workable II It's re-
vised though. and I'm absolutely
certain that given time the
wrinkles will he irOned out"
Kanzler explained that he went
along" with the Eberstadt plan
despite his personal feeling as TO
its practicability and that he even
took over the job of helping to sell
it to the auto industry.

STILL WITH WPB

"After II was put into effect,
however, and I'm view of the doc
tors reports, i felt that IL was a
good time 10 step out and let one
of Eberstadt's own men work
with him." he added.
Enthusiastic over the general
progress being made in Washing
ton by the WPB and other wal
agencies, Kanzler said that every
one is too inclined to look at what
was yet to be done rather than the
accomplishments to date.
with the passing of every
week the War Production Board
Is shaping up more and more"
Kanzler said. Results of the or
ganiZatiOn OF director generals
office that was put over In No
vember are beginning to be
more apparent"
Was he going back to Wash
ington?
Certainly, when I feel that
I'm top notch again." he said
firmly. 81 only resigned as d.
rector general and I'm techni-
cally still with WPB. II may
not be until March, but II there's
still work to be done, Ill be
there"

Might Have Been Slain
Disproved by Probe
BY the Associated Press.

LEXINGTON, KY, Feb. q. -
Fayette County Patrol Chief j. w.
McCord said last night it had been
definitely established" that the
death yesterday of John Edward
tEdD Madden, 48, widely known
sportsman, polo enthusiast and own
er of nearby Hamburg Place, 1900
acre farm, resulted from a self
inflicted shotgun wound.
Chief McCord at first said there
were angles to indicate either mur-
der or suicide and that both angles
were being pursued. Later he said
he was thoroughly convinced that
death came from a self-inflicted
wound and that the investigation
would be dropped
The body of Mr. Madden was found
slumped in front of his automobile
on a side road off Winchester pike
by Stanley Wiley, a farmer who lives
nearby. A discharged shotgun was
within reach of the BODY and under
Mr.. Madden's form was found a re-
cently-fired revolver, Mr.. McCord
said.
Father Bred Derby Winners.
Mr.. Madden was a son of the late
John E. Madden, prominent thor
oughbred horse breeder and racer
who died in 1929. Horses bred by
the elder Madden won the Kentucky
Derby in 1914 (Old Rosebud). 1920
paul jones', 1923 (zevp and 1925
Flying Ebony Also he was CO.
breeder of Sir Barton. 1919 Derby
winner.
Ed Madden's main activities were
connected with the Iroquois Hunt
and Polo Club, which he developed
at Hamburg Place. The Irouuois
polo field was the scene of games
between teams from many parts of
the country.
Polo was discontinued there in 1888
and Mr.. Madden gave 18 polo ponies
to Princeton University, of which he
was a graduate.
Mr.. Madden also had built on his
estate an extensive steeplechase
course, which was the scene of the
Prince of Wales Gold Cup running
in 1882.
Estate Turned Into Farm.
In recent years Hamburg Place
has been farmed extensively. Many
acres of hemp were raised last year,
in addition to large amount of
hurley tobacco, one of the chief
products of the farm. The Maddens
last year had $500 sheep and 400
head of cattle on the farm.
Survivors are his widow, the for
mer Winifred West of Tulsa, Okla;
two sons, Pat, 10, and Preston Mad
den, 8, and his mother, Mrs. L. v.
