Scope and Contents

Correspondence between the Federal Reserve Board and the Gianninis concerning U.S. government attempts to prevent a Bank of America monopoly. These materials were taken from the files of Lawrence Clayton, a Utah associate of Eccles, Eccles' assistant at the Federal Reserve Board from 1934-1945, and a governor of the board from 1947 until his death in 1949. Eccles probably had these files in his possession because of the charges brought against Clayton by the Gianninis during the Transamerica hearings. These materials are especially useful in understanding the personality of Amadeo P. Giannini.
