WRONG Man PUT
IN JAIL; SEEKS
u. S. PREPARATION
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)


WASHINGTON, March 23.-Congress
was asked today to pay $4,000 COM
pensation to a Missourian who spent
five months in Jail just because his
name happened to coincide with that
of another man who previously had
run afoul of the prohibition law.
The name that caused the trouble
was w w. Ford. Ford number one
was arrested and forfeited his bond
of $1,000. A year and half later
Ford number two was taken in by an
officer who didn't understand all the
facts. But number two could neither
make bond nor convince the authori-
ties of their mistake, so he stayed
in.
Today Representative Hawes DEM
ocrat, Missouri, introduced bill that
would entitle Ford number two a
check for $25OO from the United
States treasury

BRAVE STATESMEN
Decries Quick Shifting and

Bv IN. Associated Prsss

| By the Associated Press
W.NSAU, Wis.,, June 10.-The
American Government is being en-
dangered more by the ballots of citi-
zens than the bombs of Communism,
President Glenn Frank OF the univer-
sity of Wisconsin told the Wisctn-
sin Bankers Association yesterday.
The danger of American democ-
racy as viewed by President Frank
lies in the tendency to select mon
for public Office from the rank and
f'e. instead of those with ability for
great leadership, courageous. .enough
to differ from their constituencies
when necessary.
Because representatives did not
represent" the people placed restric- :
tions upon them. President Frank
said. which has brought the United
States close to a Government. by In
Structed delegates.
democracy is always in danger OF
| making its representatives phone
graph records of the fnctua ting
| moods of their constituencies. 1t is
always in danger when the most
! popular leader is the one who most
! quickly carries out the orders of q
