AL0OF TO MORGAN
Pecora Declares He Is Not
Ready to Disclose One
Who Spurned Stock.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 29.-Ferdinand
Pecora, counsel to the Senate banking
investigation. said today that he was
not yet ready to make public the name
Of the man who refused for ethical rea-
sons to be favored client O; j. P. Nor
gan 81 Co. He denied a published re-
port that the man was former Gov.
James M. Cox.
Many may have refused the favor.
Pecora said, but we have evidence of
only one. I am not yet ready to make
the name known, but 1t was not Gov.
Cox"
The muscles Of Pecora's jutting jaw
hardened as strong teeth clamped on a
black cigar; under bronze forehead
eyes cleaned
| Suddenly, the cigar, released and
mangled, swept downward between
thumb and forefnger.
My record" said the inquisitor OF
J. p Morgan and other mighty men
of money, "is there for them! They
are welcome to search for any flaws
or worse"
BY they" Pecora referred to un-
named persons who, Senator Couzens OF
Michigan charges, are conducting a
subtle campaign" to discredit Pecora
in his work as counsel for the Senate
Committee investigating banking prac-
tices.
Pecora, a former immigrant boy who
got his start as nquiSitor during IL
years in the New York County district
attorneys office, bade defiance to critics
and said the disclosures at Washington
which have built headlines around the
world, would go on.
ANY one" he said, "who imagines
that our inquiry, with its sinister corre-
lated problems extending into business
threat to investigate the investigator
Is mistaken"
Pecora, home for a Sunday rest In
dressing gown and slippers in his River
side Drive apartment, tossed aside a
book in which he sought relaxation to
tell reporters emphatically that he was
seeking no public office.
NO" he said, in answer to a queS-
tion, II haven't the mayoralty or any
other Job in mind. II I'm being groomed
for mayor. who's grooming me?"
The Daily News quoted him as de-
claring that he would call new ma
tional figures, including noted educators,
for questioning.
II expect to pay considerable atten-
tion to the power interests of the
bankers" he was quoted as saying, land
1 expect to devote considerable time to
the reported connection of professors
and other leaders in American educa-
ton with propaganda for the power
people throughout the United States.
"Other notables will come in for scru-
tiny in the power branch of our in

practice and into the floating of foreign

SUCCESS IS SEEN
FOR WORLDS FAIR
Opening Day Admissions
About 175,0OO-Ex-
pect 5000, 900.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, May 29.-The Century of
Progress Exposition settled into the
routine of its l57-day life today while
officials moved to erase minor operation
flaws apparent during the first 4S hours
Of the show.
This seventh international exposition
In the history of the United States,
opened by dignitaries Of nations and
states and by the light Of distant star,
became the mecca Of steady fiow of
visitors who descended upon Chicago
from all directions.
Attendance figures, although incon-
plete and unofficial. showed more than
third of a million persons witnessed
the Worlds Fair during It's first two
days. Balmy weather and spectacular
opening ceremonies brought nearly
200 900 to the grounds the opening day
and almost as many during Sunday.
Even larger crowds are expected for
Memorial day.
Actual paid admissions for the OPEN
ing day were revealed to have been
about 175,000. This figure, however,
was incomplete because electrical tabu-
lators on turnstiles in each of the six
large entrances could not be connected.
The fair has been constructed to
accommodate grand total of 5O,OO0,-
900 visitors during its five-months' run.
Figures from other worlds fairs, how
ever, have led the management to ex-
pect as many as $4,000 900 admissions.
A gate Of little more than a third of
this huge total would insure the finar-
cial success of the venture, officials
estimate.
The exposition today entered a week
which has perhaps the lishtest program
of any of the Summer. Saturday, how
ever, the first States day is scheduled
when Alabama day will be celebrated
in the Court of States which fianks the
Federal Building Kentucky, Oregon
and Tennessee will be honored next
week.

WOOD|N TO STAY
DESPITE cLAMOR
Roosevelt to Keep Official
Family Intact During
Crucial Time.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt is going to keep
William H. Woodin at the Treasury
despite the clamor for his custer since
his name was found on list of J. p
Morgan g. Co.'S preferred customers.
Furthermore, the President intends TO
keep intact his whole official family
cabinet and assistants, to administer
the unparalleled powers conferred on
him and them to combat the economic
emergency.
Mr.. Roosevelt views the immediate
future as the crucial time as far as the
Governments own anti-depression steps
60. He trusts his present aides to ad-
minister the vast regulation or control
of industry. business, railroads. banking
and agriculture which is gradually be-
ing forged and he does not want to
make shifts.
Does Not Argue Case.
All this, and specifically the news on
Mr. Woodin. developed at the end Of
Mr.. Roosevelt's week end cruise down
the Potomac, during which the two held
earnest converse.
As he stepped ashore, Woodin was
met by newspaper men, who had just
one question. He answered them: II
have not resigned"
1t did not take long to learn that
he had not been fired" either, and was
not going to be.
The smiling, public-shy Woodin was
not inclined to argue his case nor to
ask support.
1t was quite clear he had made
known to the President that If his con-
tinuance in the Treasury would hinder
the definite upward swing Of affairs
which he believes to be in progress, or
might diminish public confidence, he
was willing to return to his own af-
fairs.
There was also an intination that
when the Morgan inquiry is ended and
the public is ready to pass judgment
he Is going to make a statement. Many
others were ON the Morgan preferred
lists, but, like Woodin, they were not
at the time in Government service.
The view of observers here Is that
Mr. Woodin intends to resign as soon
as he feels he has served his part in
the emergency and that meantime Mr.
Roosevelt Is standing by him as friend
and aide.
Woodin was emphatic last night
about his confidence in the business
pickup. He said:
"All lines of business and trade are
improving Railroad loadings are in
creasing 1t is real thing 1t Is every
where. Farmers are feeling better The
people are spending money. There Is
confidence"
He left no doubt that he regarded
Mr.. Roosevelt's leadership as the main
spring behind the trend Of affairs.

young pianists Friday evening in Cyng-
ham Hall of the Washington College of

artistic capabilities. The Mcdowell
"Czardas" was played in effective style.
Both performers were the recipients of
enthusiastic response from their friend
ly though discriminating audience.

Norman H. Davis, chairman Of the
American delegation to the General
Disarmament Conference with the per-
sonal rank of Ambassador, and member
of the Organizing Committee OF the
Economic Conference soon to be held
In London" Tinkham asserted. "haA just
announced In Europe that the United
States shall no longer be an independent
Nation and exercise such sovereignty as
belongs to such a nation.
He has officially proposed the termi-
nation of American neutrality, the cur
tailment of American freedom Of the
seas and the assurance OF American
coercive action to enforce article 10 OF
the League of Nations, which article
guarantees the present political bound
aries of the world. He has announced
that European nations are to be allowed
to supervise American defense in the
setting up at Geneva Of a bureau Tor
the supervision Of arms.
The same objectives have long been
sought by American international bank
ing and international business inter-
ests. 1t therefore becomes Of the ut
most importance to know what rela-
tions Mr.. Davis now has or has had
with any international banking or in
ternational business interests"
Refers to Morgan Probe.
Tinkham referred to disclosures be-
fore the banking committee that Davis
was on the list of favored Morgan Gus

years ago, which still is partially un-
iquidated.
Davis also was listed by Tinkham

stantly attempting to influence the
foreign policy of the United States con-
trary to the best interests Of the United

a trustee of the Carnegie Endowment

which repeatedly declared himself to
be in favor of the surrender of the
independence and sovereignty of the
United States and its reunion with
Great Britain"
In his draft resolution. which will be
