talked of their ambitions and
hopes for better education, studied
together.
Then Abe Lincoln decided to run
for the state legislature, hopeful
that this might so improve his
affairs that his position and pow
erty might no longer be a bar to
the marriage which by now both
apparently desired.
In August he was elected, and
late in the year be borrowed 5000
to buy clothes for himself, and
went to Vandalia, the state cap
ital, to begin a career that was
to enshrine him as one of the
truly great Americans.
No letter has survived that
passed between Ann and Abe
while he was in Vandalia. This
has led some to suppose that no
romance really existed between
them. But there is much evidence
to the contrary, and the few
references to Ann which pene-
trated the reserve Lincoln always
later threw about her memory,
leave little doubt that there was
a deep and quiet love between
them.
+ INCOLN returned in the
- spring from Vandalia, and he
and Ann resumed their plans. She
was to go to an academy for
year, he to study law, and when
he had been admitted to the bar
the shadow of the absent Nc
Namar and the towering menace
of Lincoln's debts still overhung
the couple.
Then Ann fell ill, burning with
fever Brain fever, the people
called it on the frontier, probably
typhoid. What little medical help
there was proved futile. She was
dying. And she called for Lin
coin.

This was a desperate situation
for a man in love. But gradually
the realization came over Abe
that he was that man.
Calling day after day at the
postoffice for hoped-for letter,
came Ann Rutledge, the plump,
pretty blond daughter of the
Rutledge family. with whom Lin
coin had formerly rOOmed.
The RutledgeS were people of
distinction in the community of
New Salem, descended from a
Signer of the Declaration of In
dependence, at one time people
of some wealth, though their for
tunes were at this time on the
wane. Lincoln, the penniless,
awkward Kentuckian, must have
felt some awareneSs of this diff

U. S. ORGANIZES
/. BANK TO SPUR
SOVIET TRADE
First Transaction May Be
Sale of Cotton, Says
Jesse Jones.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. l2.-The
United States government made
final plans today to finance pros
pective heavy foreign trade with
the Soviet Union through organi-
cation of it's capital export-import
bank of Washington.
One of the first transactions Of
the new bank, Jesse Jones, chair
man of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, said in announcing its
formation, might be the possible
sale of 100000 bales of cotton and
also possibly some copper.
Mr.. Jones said that the Soviet
Union had been inquiring recently
with respect to those two COM
modities.
Initial Capital S11, 100000
The new bank will begin business
with an initial capital Of $11 ,000 900,
of which $1,000,000 of common stock
will be provided by President RooSe-
velt from emergency PWA funds
and $10O0O,000 preferred stock,
subscribed by the RFC.
The bank was chartered in the
District of Columbia. Trustees are
Robert Kelley of the state depart
ment, Secretary Daniel c. Roper
of the commerce department, Ches-
ter Davis of the department of agri-
culture, Stanley Reed, RFC gen.
eraI counsel, and Lynn P. Talley,
assistant to the directors of the
RFC and president of the Com
modify Credit Corporation.
Tom K. Smith, assistant to Treas
ury Secretary Henry Morgenthau
Jr., in charge of banking affairs, will
represent the treasury.
May Broaden Scope
The bank was organized by eXecu-
tive order of the President to finance
export and import trade with the
Soviet. If the plan is successful, Mr..
Jones indicated today that its scope
may be broadened.
The banks management will be
completed in a few days and Mr..
Jones said lit is expected that con-
siderable agricultural and other ex-
ports may soon be arranged"
Exporters" he said, will be ex-
pected to participate in such credits
as may be extended, when and to
the extent that it seems proper they
should do so. AS additional capital
is needed it can be had through the
purchase of more preferred stock by
the RFC or by the bank borrowing
from the RFC Or from other banks.
Mr.. Jones said the primary object
of the bank was to reduce domestic
unemployment through sales of
American agricultural and ma
clinery SURPRISES with extension of
credit to producers so that they can

Federal officials today cleared the
way for trial of an alien war
veteran charged with demanding
$4,000 from Mrs. William Fox,
wife of the motion picture mag
nate. under threat of kidnapping
members of her family.
Officials invoked the drastic
Lindbergh law in arraigning
Maurice Monnier, 35-year-old
chauffeur, for sending a letter to
Mrs. Fox in which, they alleged,
he signed himself "Dillinger's
lieutenant Bail was set at
$4,000 when the prosecutor
promised an early trial.
Monnier was arrested at the
Nassau county Jail when he was
released after serving all but five
days of 30-day sentence for
assaulting a lodgekeeper on the
Fox estate in Woodmere, L. I.
The threatening letter was re-
ceiVed by Mrs. Fox on March %
