Ferguson Holds Laws
Can Force Morgenihau
To Return His PAPERS
sy the A.seeioted Press

Senator Ferguson, Republican, OF
Michigan said today existing Federal
laws can require former Secretary OF
the Treasury Morgenthau to return
some 900 volumes of recorded ma
terial dealing with public business"
In the Senate, Senator Ferguson
referred to the late President Roose-
welt, Mr.. Morgenthau and other
members Of Roosevelt cabinets In
connection with the "perniciots
practice whereby public officials
carry away records for their own use
and profit"
Secretary OF the Treasury Snyder
has asked the return Of Mr.. Nor
genthau's diary"
Senator Ferguson told the Senate:
"The Morgenthau material so far
as we know is only exceeded by the
boxcars OF public papers said to have
been removed by Franklin D. Roose-
welt to the self-created shrine at
Hyde Park"
No Authority for Removal.
Senator Ferguson said he studied
statutes relating to public and prt-
vate papers of Government officials
and concluded:
There is not the slightest au-
thority to the agency heads to cart
away records in any form on their
own"
The National Archives, he added,
