MOSES AM) TREMAINE
ARE OTHER PROSPECTS
WASHINGTON, April 18. A Vio

Wall street over the choice of the
next president of the New York atock
exchange. The plum la worth fight
ing for; the handsome salary and
autocratic powers granted the presi
dency under the exchange' liberal
ized constitution make the Job the
beat In the financial district. At the
moment, the four leading candidates
are:
Robert Maynard Hutchins. young
ish, brilliant and ambitious president
of the University of Chicago. His
intimate friendship with Chairman
William O. Douglas of the securities
and exchange commission and the
fame of his remarkable work as an
ed ucator a re bot h s t ron gly In his
favor.
General Frank T. Hlnes. who has
served both Republicans and Demo
crats efficiently a chief of the
veterans' bureau. Hla big point Is
his reputation as a non-partisan
civil servant.
Robert Moms, dynamic park com
missioner of New York City, who
has furbished the dingy face of
Megalopolis and shown himself to
be the ablest servant of the public
now operating.
Morris Tremalne, elderly, cau
tions, comptroller of the state of
New York, whom the conservativee
like because many bond Issues have
acquainted him with Wall Street's

The most remarkable Inclusion on
this list is obviously that of Mr.
Hutchins. On the face of the situa

might desert his present post for a
purely commercial one. however emi

low. But hla enemies at the Univer

PENSION FATHER
SEES VINDICATION
IN ACTION BY F. R.
White Announcement Cites
Telegram From Chairman
Bell of House Committee
That Doctor Influenced
WASHINGTON. April 18. Tfl) ;
President Roosevelt today pardoned I
Dr. Francis E. Townsend, old age pen
sion advocate, as he was about to en
ter the local Jail to serve a 30-day
sentence for contempt of a house
committee.
Townsend had already reported to
the district attorney's office and an
nounced he" was ready to begin serv-
lco of the Jail sentence when the
presidential pardon was announced.
The 71-year-old pension advocate
was convicted February 24. 1937. for
walking out on a special committee
which was Investigating his plan to
pay a $200 a month federal pension
to all persons over 60 years of age.
At Marshal's Office
Townsend was In tho office of U.
S. Marshall John B. Colpoys, awaiting
removal to Jail, when the pardon was
delivered to him.
He emerged grinning broadly with
the pardon In his hand.
"I am very happy," he said.
"It Is complete vindication and act
of contrition on the part of congress."
Townsend said he would fly back
to the west coast "within a few days."
A White House announcement of
the pardon cited a telegram sent to
the president April lfi by Chairman
Bell (D.-Mo.( of the house committee
saying: I
"Dr. Townsend is an aged man 1
and I am firmly convinced that at
the time the so-called walk-out waa
planned prior to his having been call
ed as a witness and later at the time
he actually did leave the witness
stand, he was under the Influence of
men of stronger will and Intelligence
than his own and that they were fir
more responsible for his offense than
the doctor himself."
Planned To Work
Arriving In Washington yesterday
Townsend said he had his typewriter
with him. He said he would work on
his book In Jail, if he served his sen
tence. The White House announcement,
reviewing the case said:
"The nature of the offense Is one
which concerns primarily the con
gress. The authority the dignity and
the rights of the house of represen
tatives have been fully sustained by
the conviction.
"The speaker of the house of rep
resentatives, the majority lead
er of the house of representatives,
and the chairman of the committee
which originally recommended the
prosecution and before which the acts
complained of were committed, have
recommended the extension of ex
ecutive clemency."
The statement added:
"The president, therefore, has par
doned Mr. Townsend."
Dr. Townsend walked out of the
committee hearing May 31, 1938. de
fiantly telling the members he would
not be back, although he waa under
subpoena.
Held Questions In fair
He contended their questioning was
"unfair."
He was sentenced on February 24.
1M7. and was sentenced to Jail for
30 days and to pay a fine of 1100.
The United States court of appeals
for the District of Columbia affirm
ed the conviction and the supreme
court refused lest Monday to review
the trial, ending the pension leader's
last hope of escaping the sentence by
court action.
Representative McOroarty D.-Cal ).
who Introduced the original Town
send plan bill In congress said he was
"delighted" that Dr. Townsend had
been pardoned.
"I don't nee any good that would
have been Berved, under all the cir
cumstances by putting him In Jail,'
he said.
i Speaker Bank head said he and Ma-
I Jorlty Leader Rayburn had re com -
I mended that the president pardon
1 Townsend, adding: Personally, fm
very glad he took that course. The
president naturally felt that It waa
a matter that Involved congressional
procedure and wouldn't act unless It
met with the concurrence of the
house leaders."
The pardon was unconditional, re
lieving Townsend of the $100 fine as
well as the Jail sentence.
