And these key jobs have been passed around between bankers from these three Wall Street firms. Two Western Bankers Last week, two Westerners called to President-elect Kennedy to try to reverse the hold of Eastern bankers on the top jobs in his cabinet. They were Gov. Edmund "Pat" Clair Englc, Brown and Sen. both of California.

They proposed to Kennedy that he appoint as Secretary of the Treasury George Killion of San Francisco, head of the American president Steamship Lines, or Jesse Tapp of San Francisco, No. 2 officer of the Bunk of America, "I can't appoint Killion." react- ly that he leaned toward Douglas Dillon, now under secretary of state, because of Dillon's knowledge of the dollar drainage. Kennedy had recently come from a private session with President Eisenhower, during which Ike expressed grave concern over the dollar shortage, urged the Incoming President to act rn It immediately. So Kennedy said he was thinking of transferring Dillon to the Treasury department for the time being. Here is the rollcall of officials from the three sacred cow Eastern banking firms which have held key position- influencing the economy of the nation: 1.

Brown Brothers, Harriman: Averell Harriman was Secretary of Commerce in the Truman administration at the same lime his former banking partner, Robert Levett, both from Brown Brothers Harriman, was under secretary of state and Secretary of Defense. Both did excellent jobs. was paradoxical and somewhat embarrassing that their former banking firm was being prosecuted by the Justice Department in one of the biggest antitrust cases to the State Department when Amory Houghton of Corning Glass coveted the Paris embassy. Dillon contributed to Ike in 1952 and 1956, backed Nixon both financially and emotionally in 1960. Dillon, Read was also under under prosecution by the Justice Department on a charge of investment banking monopoly.

It was Investigated by the Senate earlier on the charge of bribing the finance minister of Bolivia in 1928 in connection with the flotation of the $21,000,000 minitions loan which most American don't know but which had deep Impact in Latin America, still handicap our relations there. 3. The Chase Manhattan bank's representatives in government include Eugene Black, now the able head of the World Bank; and board chairman John J. McCloy. Before he joined the bank; McCloy was assistant secretary of war, head of the World Bank, high commissioner to Germany.

He was a dedicated public servant. The argument of Governor Brown and Senator Engle was not that these Eastern bankers were not honest and able, but that representatives of companies whose property was seized by the Soviet or which have heavy Investments in Germany, or who represent big business, may not have the fresh and unbiased outlook of banker from the West. If they went wrong in backing Germany in the pre- Hitler era their judgment could be wrong again.
