April IS Secretary of the Treasury Henry A. Morgenthau, today denied that the Administration would withhold additional funds to depositors of Detroit's closed banks until receivers had paid back RFC loans. The statement has been made by the receivers for the Guardian National Bank of Commerce and the First National Bank, at Detroit, that funds to be derived from further liquidation of assets and from the assessment levied against stockholders, is to be used to pay back the RFC. "I know of no such policy," Mr, Morgenthau said today. "It would come under the direction of the Comptroller of the Currency, but I would hear about It, I believe.

I assume that everyone concerned was satisfied with the receiverships at Detroit." Bureaucrats Influence Chiefs Secretary Morgenthau's denial of the policy to withhold funds from depositors until the RFC has been repaid followed several moves by the Administration today to block legislation for tha relief of depositors. It was obvious tonight that tha real opposition to the amended Mc-Leod Bill is traceable to the Federal bureaucracy which thrives on receiverships. These professional receivers and examiners, rather than the administrative heads of the Government, are the ones who are doing most to kill the bill. It has been true In all administrations that the departmental chiefs, being In a large measure dependent upon the bureaucrats for Information and recommendations, tend to be Influenced by this aelf-perpetuatlng class. This bureaucracy la now openly attempting to block the payoff bill Morgenthau Oppose Flan Secretary Morgenthau wrote to Senator Duncan U.

Fletcher, chairman of the Banking Committee of the Upper House. In condemnation of a bill which has been dropped entirely by the Banking and Currency Committee of the House. Morgenthau's letter was based upon the original bill, introduced by Rep. Clarence J. McLeod, Detroit Republican.

There Is no similarity between the original bill which Morgenthau condemns and the amended bill which carries provisions of a bill Introduced by Rep. Prentiss M. Brown, St. Ignace Democrat. The amended bill limits a full payoff to depositors with $2,500 or less on deposit when the banks closed.

The original bill provided for payment in full to all depositors. Secretary Morgenthau declined to commit himself as to the policy of the Administration relative to any legislation that might be advanced for the relief of depositors. Rep. Henry B. Steagall, Alabama, chairman of the House Banking Committee, insists that a bill providing for aome relief will be acted upon at the present session, and it Is generally believed that a limitation for payment in full will be placed at $1,000.

Congress vs. Bureaucrats The battle for the legislation, originating with Rep. McLeod, is no longer a matter of issue between opposing factions of the House of Representatives, but rather an issue as between the Congress and All over World Board of Commerce Calls for Members in Recovery Drive $10,000 Is Reported as First Day's Gain The Detroit Board of Commerce "Speed Recovery" membership drive swung into high gear Monday. Unofficial tabulations Monday night set the opening day subscription total at slightly more than $10,000. The first official reports will be turned in at a noonday luncheon at the Book-Cadillac Hotel Tuesday.

Enthusiasm ran high Monday as an army of more than 800 volunteer solicitors combed every corner of the city to obtain "new blood" for Detroit's ranking leadership organization, the Board of Commerce. Success in the present membership campaign will be an important step In Detroit's battle to regain complete business recovery and boost the city's weekly payroll totals. Now I'p to Worker Directing a final appeal to the canvassing army u'ging utmost cooperation, James Vernor, general c' airman of the "Speed Recovery" program, declared Monday night that "every preparation humanly possible has been made to assure the drive's success. The final element upon which we must depend is the loyalty of the workers in their determination to see the job through. The only way to get subscriptions is to go after them personally, because telephone calls and letter writing will not bring home the bacon!" Drive leaders optimistically awaited the first report luncheon.

The entire army of canvassers will bring in their reports, which will De tabulated upon a long blackboard. Special Interest is centered upon the blank map of Detroit upon which the aUigan, "Put Detroit Back Upon t1 Map," will be seen. The map haseen cut up into sections representing various teams in the drive. As 75 per cent of the unofficial quota is recorded, the section of the city so reported will be pinned back on the map. Campaign Office Hums The "Speed Recovery" program campaign office, on the fourth floor of the Board of Commerce Building, hummed with activity Monday.

Enthusiastic canvassers were in and nut of the office all day seeking; additional information and subscription cards to enable them to continue their drive for funds and members. Optimism prevailed at three "kick-off" meetings In which the legion of 800 workers participated Monday. More than 400, representing Divisions and gathered at the "Early Bird" breakfast at the Hotel Statler at 8 a. m. Mr.

Ver-n presided. Harve J. Camp-hell, executive vice president of the Board of Commerce, and John A. Reynolds, chairman of Division which is seeking $35 to $500 subscriptions, were principal speakers. JamesB.

Jones, chairman of Division gave out final Instructions at a noon session of his 100 workers, who are soliciting membership subscriptions ranging from $55 to $245, at the Detroit Club. Thomas A. Merrill, division chairman, gathered with his 50 canvassers composing the division at the Fort Shelby Hotel at noon. This group is working on prospective members with annual subscriptions exceeding $250. Aid for Sustaining Fund Campaign officials explained Monday that regular individual memberships in the Board of Commerce are sold for $35 per year.

Companies subscribing more than this figure usually assign individual memberships to certain employees. Any money over and above the assigned memberships is committed to the sustaining fund of the organization. Workers were spurred on in the drive Monday by three vital factors, pointing out why the Board of Commerce "Speed Recovery" program must succeed this week.

Sloan The tangled condition of delinquent tax rolls, compiled by the Auditor General under authorization of the Moore-Holbeck Act, may cost Wayne County taxpayers 000. members of the Board of Supervisors predicted Monday. A three-day recess was taken by the hoard to give County officials an opportunity to conduct further negotiations at Lansing looking toward assumption of additional costs by the State. Authorized by the Legislature, Auditor General John K. Stack, proceeded, with a $100,000 appropriation, to compile the tax rolls that figure in the ten-year partial payment plan set up bv the Moore-Hcilbeck Act.

The rolls, however, have been prepared on a geographical plan, whereas Wayne County tax rolls are traditionally kept on the ward plan. Treasurer Makes Complaint County Treasurer Jacob P. Sumer-acki and the Wayne County Board of Auditors complained Monday to the Supervisors' Ways and Means Committee that the rolls sent from Lansing are not only prepared in an impracticable manner, but also are replete with errors in property descriptions. It is contended that the rolls will have to be done over here and a delegation will leave for Lansing Tuesday or Wednesday to urge that the State defray at least a portion of the expense. Sumeracki told the Ways and Means Committee, just prior to the general board session, that he, and other officials, had repeatedly warned the Auditor General that the rolls were being improperly set up.

"It seems to me." observed Chairman John W. Smith, "that when the people find out that Mr. Stack has frittered away this he may find it expedient to do something about it." Smith Assails Auditor General Later, from the floor, Smith introduced the Ways and Means Committee's report and took the occasion to assail the Auditor General's rolls. "We learn," ha declared, "that $100,000 has been spent and the rolls are no usa to us. "In fairness to the County Treasurer and the County Auditors, I must say that they warned the-Auditor General's office.

"Now, our auditors want $100,000 to do the work over again. We have suggested (the Ways and Means Committee) that further efforts be made to get aid from the State to carry out the mandates of the statute. "We felt that in view of the large contributions we have made to the State, with no return, that the State should bear with us in these tax roll costs. Rolls Are Needed Now "It is almost," Smith went on, "a breakdown in government. Here is a man who is supposed to be the watchdog of the Treasury.

Yet after all these months he makes it impossible to carry on. If we don't get aid we are going to be called upon to appropriate $100,000." The rolls should be available now, it was pointed out, for it is from them that delinquent taxpayers may arrange to clear up ther bills for 1932 and prior years. The City of Detroit has succeeded in placing a similar plan in operation.

Union Guardian Decision Although it was the original trouble spot in the Detroit bank picture, the Union Guardian, under State has only now reached a decision as to reorganization and liquidation.

Scott, one of the principal figures in Tuesday's impending proxy battle for control of the Reo Motor Car announced tonight that he had resigned as president of Reo, and had given his proxy vote to Ransom E. Olds, seventy-year-old founder of the company, who was fighting to retain control of the concern.

Scott's announcement came on the eve of the annual stockholders' meeting here, which was to decide whether Scott or Olds would win control of one of the Country's oldest motor car manufacturing companies. In announcing his resignation as president, a post he has held for 10 years, Scott also made it known that he had resigned from the Reo Board of Directors. Regrets Misunderstanding His statement follows; "I regret that a difference of opinion as to policies to be pursued by the Reo Motor Car Company has arisen between R. E. Olds and me and that certain Individuals have sought to take advantage of the difference of opinion.

"Mr. Olds and I have been friends for over 30 years. I believe he has at all times sought to do whatever he thought best for the interest of the company. It would be a great misfortune if any personal difference should adversely affect the company. "After further consideration of the fact, I have decided to withdraw as president and director of the company and to wholeheartedly support the new management "I have therefore given my proxy to Mr.

Olds and his committee for the annual meetings on Tuesday, April 17, 1934." Thomas May Aid Olds It was reported during a conference of stockholders here tonight that H. T.

As president of the company ft was reported that Scott controlled about 150.000 shares of the 1,800,000 shares of Reo outstanding. Scott was once virtually a protege of Olds, the latter having brought him into the company 30 years ago, and watched his rise to the presidency of the company.
