...better liked by the President, Ogden Mills really ran the Treasury for two years before his superior resigned. Since 1933, Ogden Mills has been trying to help put the Republican Party together again, running his private finances which included directorships in Cerro de Pasco Copper Corp., Chase National Bank, Mergenthaler Linotype Co., National Biscuit Co. and Seaboard Oil Co. A liberal in matters of economics, he was too much of an Old Guard Republican in political reputation to carry much weight in 1936. After a summer of cruising on his yacht Avalon and two weeks of slight illness that...
With deputy sheriffs for Dr. Senise trying to attach Mr. Roach's bank account he gloomed: "I can't say if a picture will ever be made under my partnership with Mussolini, but the partnership has not been dissolved." By this time Son Vittorio was en route by sleeper-plane to Washington, obviously aware that a Fascist has about as much chance to succeed in Hollywood as a Zionist producer would enjoy in Mecca...

Warder, had been convicted of accepting a $10,000 bribe. Sitting in the saddle of this banking bronco, however, was brisk, hard-working Joseph A. Broderick. He did his job well enough so that when he was indicted on charges of neglect of duty in connection with the failure of New York...
...something of a return of the native, for Mr. Broderick in 1914 served on the committee which helped organize the newly formed Federal Reserve System and was the Board's first examiner. In 1919 Banker Broderick resigned from the Federal Reserve to become vice president of the National Bank of Commerce in New York. Last week 55-year-old Banker Broderick took his second leave of the Federal Reserve. Apparently still enjoying Mr. Roosevelt's confidence but not his $15,000 salary, Mr. Broderick accepted the presidency of Manhattan's potent East River Savings Bank...
