Secretary of the Interior McKay yesterday asked Eisenhower to withdraw Lyon’s name after the appointee requested such action. McKay did -so in the wake of Lyon’s testimony before a Senate committee that he is: (1) drawing a $5,000-a-year pension as a re- {tired official of the Anaconda Cop- per Mining Company, and (2) is opposed to the federal mine safety law he would administer as Mines Bureau chief. It developed that Interior De- partment officials had been un- aware of either the pension or Lyon's views regarding the law.

Secretary of the Treasury Hum- phrey said in a statement the Fed- eral Reserve Board had not start ed a retreat from the Eisenhower administration's hard money pol- icy, which has resulted in a gen-| eral rise in interest rates. He said the board acted inde- pendently, but after “full consulta- tion” with the Treasury, The reserve board’s announce- ment said it acted “in anticipation of the exceptionally keayy demands on bank reserves which will devel- op in the near future when season- al requirements’ of the economy will expand and Treasury financ- ing (borrowing) in large volume is | inescapable.” | Humphrey bas said the Treasury will need 9 to 12 billion dollars new money in the next six months. | The federal reserve has acted to supply Treasury money needs of .| the next three months only, andj evidently will await developments before any further loosening of the | money supply, or new restriction The board's action concerned the | percentage of remand deposits, such as checking accounts, which member banks must deposit as a/| reserve with the federal reserve | system.
