Woodrow Wilson. in a signed statement
issued here last night regarding story
printed yesterday that he had applied
to the Carnegie foundation for PEN
sion, admitted that he had made such

depend upon him for support, at the
mercy of any incalculable turn of the
wheel of fortune"
He said he could not understand why
the matter should come up now, as the
foundation had not granted the allow
.ance.
