Services were being arranged yesterday in Washington, for Wayne Chatfield Taylor, native Chicago and economics authority who served as undersecretary of commerce in the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt, from 1940 to 1945.
Mr. Taylor, former Chicago investment banker, died Wednesday in a Washington hospital after suffering an injury in an accident in his Washington home. He was 73.

Mr. Taylor began his business career in 1916 with Field, Glore & Co., investment bankers in Chicago, and became a vice president of the business in 1927. He was also vice president of the Chicago Investors corporation and a director of the People's Trust and Savings bank.
In 1935, he joined the Export-Import bank as a vice president and later served as its president. After serving as an administrator and key adviser in a number of government posts, he was named undersecretary of commerce by President Roosevelt.
He was the federal official who took charge of Montgomery Ward & Co.'s Chicago plant in 1944 after it was ordered seized by the government and its chairman, Sewell Avery, was bodily removed form the premises by soldiers. Mr. Taylor was in Avery's office at the time, to execute the order.
