2 BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1931 Broderick Fate Political Crisis For Governor Presidential Aspirant to Use All Powers to Defend His Appointee Eagle Bereau, Capitol Building. BY CLINTON L. MOSHER Albany, Oct. 20-Governor Roosevelt today prepared to throw the full force of his administration behind his superintendent of banks, Joseph A. Broderick.

The Governor's advisers see Roosevelt's 1932 Presidential ambitions tied up with the fate of Broderick, now under indictment in connection with the Bank of United States scandal. They find the Governor facing the first real big crisis in his administration and predict that one of the most spectacular chapters in the State's history will be written in the ensuing months. There are those who see in Broderick's predicament, which is bound to become, to a great extent, Roosevelt's, a subtle attempt on the part of Tammany to prevent Roosevelt from attaining his Washington goal. Those who hold this view point to the close alliance between the New York City organization and Max D. Steuer, the special prosecutor whose investigation of the bank crash led yesterday to Broderick's indictment on three charges of neglect of duty and a fourth count of conspiracy.

Certainly Roosevelt could receive no worse publicity throughout the country than the news, being carried over the wires, that the prize member of his cabinet is the center of a $200,000,000 bank failure. Has Universal Appeal was pointed here that a colorful bank failure the magniout, -tude of the present one has a universal appeal and is almost as readable west of the Mississippi as it is here. Those responsible for the Roosevelt-for-President boom are frankly disturbed over the situation and equally angry at Steuer and Tammany, for which Steuer is the big legal mind. The situation would not be so difficult if had been an inconspicuous of the GovBroderick, ernor's official family, a holdover from a previous administration or one who was not close to the executive. It so happens that the reverse is true.

was and is conspicuous Roosevelt picked Broderick. him in the Spring of 1929 to restore the Banking Department to the position it had occupied prior to the regime of Frank H. Warder, now in Sing Sing Prison for his part in the City Trust explosion. Broderick's appointment was a nonpolitical one. He was put forth at the Capitol as the great savior of the banking situation.

The Bank of the United States fiasco shows that he was something less than he was painted on the day of his appointment. Also, when Broderick took office and subsequently, the Banking Department problem was foremost in Roosevelt's mind. The closest sort of relationship existed between the two men, and the Governor gave him his full support and advice. When Attorney General John J. I Bennett.

a McCooey Tammany man, picked Steuer to probe the Bank of United States crash, Roosevelt known that he was displeased with Bennett. When the firing began, Roosevelt got into trench with Broderick. He has there ever since. His then, prompt declaration yesterday that he has "every confidence in his complete integrity," and Broderick's refusal to resign show clearly that the two men intend to fight to the last ditch. Steuer's first attack on Broderick brought an unofficial response here that Roosevelt would demand to be heard on the question of his subordinate's integrity and that he would tell a story that would rock the banking world.

The defense being made in official circles for Broderick is and has been that his failure to close up the Bank of United States until the run started was because he believed prompter action would have sunk a dozen other banks. The public may now hear that story in its entirety. It should make good listening. Says Medicine Must Study Living Body The future of medical progress depends upon a study of the living man rather than upon pathology and physiology, Sir Thomas Lewis of London, guest speaker, told session last nignt of the opening, annual fortnight of graduate study conducted by the New York Academy of Medicine.

Belgrave Approves Sewer Plant Fund Great Neck, L. Oct.

20-The Belgrave Sewer Commission last night received the taxpayers' sanc tion for an additional $300,000 to build a disposal plant for the district comprising Belgrave Square, Russell Gardens and University Gardens. The taxpayers met in the Little Neck Park firehouse and voted upon the issue. After they had approved the appropriation, the commissioners produced petitions representing the necessary 51 percent of the assessed valuation which, regardless of the voters action, would have permitted the expenditure. Preliminary estimates for the sewer system placed the cost at about $650,000, but the commission has already received $1,000,000 in appropriations.

Roosevelt Won't Act Meantime it became definitely known that Governor Roosevelt will not call a special session of the Legislature to repeal the bill creating the 12 new judgships, as told exclusively in yesterday's. Eagle. The Governor's stand was made known by the publication of a letter from Samuel Roseman, the Governor's counsel, to Carl Polakoff, chairman of the board of governors of Lex Amici. Governor Must Have Able Man Continued from Page 1 cannot, furnish the Governor with a candidate he regards as fit. he will attempt to draft some highclass lawyer who might prefer.

to remain in the private practice of the law. Certainly the Governor wants no one who is politically ambitious. Might Accept Kopff Roosevelt might be inclined to accept Frederick L. Kopff, political connections and all, because of Kopff's position: as Chief Assistant District Attorney. However, at the moment he is inclined toward a spectacular appointment, Samuel I.

Rosenman, the Governor's counsel. is coming here today to discuss with Roosevelt among other pressing matters the whole Supreme Court judgeship deal, the approaching vacancy in the County Court and the constitutional amendments, one of which is a vital part of the bench barter. Although is preserving discreet silence, Roosevelt is expected to comment on the 7-5 deal directly or indirectly when he discusses the Thompson amendment for the subtraction from the Second Judicial District of Queens, Nassau and Suffolk, and the creation of new Tenth district, composed of these counties. Republican State Chairman W. Kingsland Macy insisted on Democratic support for this amendment at the polls before he would agree to back a bill for more judges.

Roosevelt's, complicated in by the regard fact to that McCoocy was shrewd enough to make Conway one of the Democratic beneficiaries. Conway Closer Than McCooey Conway is far closer to the Governor than McCooey. Roosevelt's friendship with Conway grew out of the 1928 State campaign when Roosevelt won and Conway, the candidate for Attorney General, lost. Roosevelt, after his inaugural, promptly named Conway superintendent of insurance. When W.

Bernard Vause was forced off the County Court bench he named Conway as his successor. The Governor finds it difficult to raise a ruction over a transaction in which Conway figured, for he still holds Conway in the highest esteem. This believed to be one reason why he is withholding for the time being comment on the amendment to split up the district, an amendment which former Governor Smith said should "be tossed out of the window." To Make Attitude Known However, it has been established that Roosevelt will shortly make known his attitude toward the amendments. On still another amendment, the one committing the State to a $14,000,000 reforestation program, Smith has also put himself on record in the negative. The situation in regard to this second amendment is equally ticklish, since Roosevelt approved it at the time it passed the Legislature.

It WAS introduced by Senator Charles J. Hewitt, the Republican chairman of the finance committee. CREDENTIALS LERTIFIC ATE OF QUALIFICATIONS 1. JOHN H.

Can't Explain Why 5 Of Bank Directors Escaped Charges Assistant District Attorney Harold W.

Hastings, who assisted Max, Steuer in presenting the evidence in the Bank of United States case, today had no explanation of why five of the present directors caped indictment with 28 others. The present directors who were not indicted are Robert Adamson. John F. Gilchrist, George S. Carr, Harry Loeb and Charles H.

Dilver. "We presented evidence against all the said Hastings. "The returning of indictments was entirely in the hands of the jury. On what grounds they eliminated the five men I do not know. The reasons are their own." Three Had Resigned Earlier Three other directors who resigned early in 1930 also escaped indictment.

They were George, Le Boutiller, William Fishman and a man named Reman, whose first name Hastings could not recall. On the other. hand, Frank Hedley, president of the I. R. who also resigned in 1930, was among the indicted.

The other indicted directors were to plead today. Details Made Public Following Broderick's plea, the details of the indictments against him were revealed for the first time. The first three indictments alleging neglect of official duties make the following charges: 1. Failure to take possession of the between Jan. 15 and Dec.

30, 1930, when he knew it was being conducted in unsafe manner and in violation of the bank's charter. 2. Failure to examine the bank between July 13, 1929, and June 30, 1930, in violation of the Banking Law provision for two a year at approximately six-months intervals. 3. Failure to notify every director of a report made by a department examiner on June 23, 1930, recommending drastic changes.

The conspiracy indictment charges Broderick with conniving with the bank officers to keep from the directors a report of bank's condition subsequent to the examination of Aug. 29, 1929. Broderick's Defense To all the charges of dereliction of duty Broderick replied, when questioned by Steuer at the Attorney General's preliminary probe. He said the Banking Department had never interpreted the law as meaning that an examination should be held every six months, although it had been so held by Supreme Court Justice Tompkins in the Warder case. This was one of the points Warder made in the appeal he lost.

At no time, Broderick insisted, was the department, without knowledge of what was going on in the bank. As for not taking it over earlier, he explained, he had pinned his hopes on solving, its difficulties through other institutions, but merger, merger plans collapsed at the last minute. Denies Conspiracy He denied he was bound by law to inforn all of the directors of informal examinations and informal discussions with bank officers. He said he resented any: inference he had conspired with the officers to keep the dirctors in the dark. The eight directors who entered not guilty pleas yesterday were Joshua L.
