 Lindy's younger days wer e spent with a -puncher astride his back, chasing cattle over the plains.

 Lindy took his name from the fact that he was foaled on the day Colonel Lindbergh landed in Paris five years ago.

 The New York governors. plea at St Paul, Minn, for an economic program to benefit all classes was generally viewed as having dis credited Smiths indirect charge that Roosevelt was a "demogogue'' seeking to array class against class.

DECISION ON TOM
 MOONEY WILLBE
 GIVEN THURSDAY
Governor Rolph Was to Have Decided on Wed- nesday, But Has Delay- ed It

Sacramento, Calf, April 19.- (UP)-Governor James Rolph, Jr. called another conference of legal advisers today after postponing un- til Thursday his decision on the pardon application of Tom Mooney.
 Originally set for Wednesday. the decision was delayed "A hours ''by some matters now under in- vestigation," the governor said. He did not reveal the nature of his last-minute inquiry.
 It was believed, however, the delay was due in part to an inves- tigation by Police Captain Charles Golf of San Francisco, one of Mooney's original prosecutors, into records at Martinez, Calf, involv- ing Mooney in dynamiting case.
 Mooney was tried at Martinez three times and ultimately acquit- ted in 1913 on charges of placing dynamite caps aboard a boat. This was prior to his conviction on murder charges in connection with the 1916 preparedness day parade bombing at San Francisco.
