Marriner Stoddard Eccles, big Mormon banker of Ogden, Utah arrived four days later as a special Treasury assistant, bringing his Leftwing-ish ideas of debt cancellation and high income and inheritance taxes. Secretary Morgenthau, asked what Mr. Eccles' job would be, replied, "I don't know yet." Asked what man would succeed...
