ACHESON RESIGNS

WASHINGTON, NOV. 15.

A DRAMATIC SITUATION HAS ARISEN IN WASHINGTON AS THE RESULT OF THE NEW MONETARY POLICY WHICH LOOKS VERY MUCH. AS THOUGH THE PRINCIPAL OFFICIALS OF THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT HAVE ABANDONED THEIR OFFICES AND LEFT PRESİDENT ROOSE- VELT TO HIS OWN DEVICES.

Mr. W. H. Woodin, the Secretary to the Treasury, has been granted "leave of absence."

Mr. Acheson, the Under-Secretary of the Treasury Department; has tendered his resignation.

The President is, for all practical purposes, the head of the Treasury Department and the opinion generally expressed is that the situation has been brought about by the acute disagreement of Mr. Woodin and Mr. Acheson with the monetary policy.
