New York, Jan. IA young man

years.
The young man was Thomas Coch-
ran of st. Paul, Minnesota who, born
among riches and later forced into
poverty, has struggled back up the

his twelfth business partner. Coch-
ran officially assumed this enviable
position in the world OF finance today.
Cochran was confronted twenty
years ago with the alternative Of

Young Cochran worked his way
through the last year. He forewent
society, in which he had played
large part; also football, despite the
fact that he was a member of the Yale
team; likewise Skull & Bones, the ex-
elusive fraternity to which he had
been elected. He took work as a tu-
tor. He took other work too and when
he graduated he had the habit.
Ten years ago Cochran was working
for a real estate company here for
wages that almost any Wall street
clerk would curl his lip at. He had
stuck" there seven years at the same
salary, but he knew what he was
about He knew what he had and he |
was content to wait for the psycholog-
ical moment to get into the big play.
Then Henry P. Dawson, a partner
of the late J. Pierpont Morgan, "dis-
covered" Cochran and invited him to
lelp reorganize the Astor Trust CON-

go today is not only Morgan part.
