Former Russian Cars Son Earns Modest Live
 ing as Song Leader

Pittsburgh (UP)- Gregory Ro.. manoff cherishes no delusions or the grandeur he and his wife once knew.
 The son of an officer in the Czar's Imperial Army, reconciled to the loss of his ancestral estate in Russia, he has received his first naturalization papers.
 With his wife and four daugh- ters, Romanoff lives In modest four-room dwelling in the nearby borough of Homestead, and ekes out an even more modest living by teaching Russian at church schools and directing choral groups.
 Of necessity, the daughters wNi be denied the advantages of lux ury and feducation in exclusive seminaries such as their parents knew in an Ukrainian province years ago.
 Romanoff makes no pretence of royal lineage, although he traces the family name to Alexander the Third. His father once was asked by the Czar to change his name in order that "Romanoff' might be reserved for the royal family. But his father declined, even though a handsome cash settlement was of- fered.
 When rumblings of the revolu- ton broke upon the Russian scene Romanoff and his bride fled by different routes to Canada. Their wistful hope some day to reclaim theirhome vanished with the So- viet rise to power, and they settled here

By PAUL MAY lDem0crat COrreSnOndcntl

Washington, D. C., Feb 22-In- troduced on the theory that prevl- ous legislative movements to ex' tend direct loans to industry have been failures, a bill has been spon- sored by Representative Kopple- man, d, Conn, which would create a $1,1O0,000,O00 intermediate cred it corporation to give this aid.
 Representative Koppieman has long been a leader in the move ment for direct industrial loans.
 The bill follows recommenda- tions made recently by the census bureau after survey of available credit to small business and indus trial enterprises. The survey had been made at the request of the busniess advisory and planning council of the department of com merce.
 Under Representative Kopple- mans measure, the intermediate credit corporation" would be cre- ated by the secretary of the treas ury and established in Washing ton with branch offices in Boston, New York. Philadelphia, Cleve- land, Richmond, Atlanta, Chicago, St Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Dallas and San Francisco. Addi- tional branches could be set up as needed so long as no more than one would be in a single state, ter ritory or possession. .,
 Control and management would be through board of nine direct ors, making full-time jobs of the1r duties. The governor would re- ceive $12,OOO a year and the other directors $1O,O00. Terms would

M'KINNEY IN LINE
 FOR FEDERAL POST
J. Francis Smith Visits Washington on Patrons
 age Question

While Democratic State Chair men J. Francis Smith of this city is in Washington, D. C., reputedly for the purpose of hurrying along, if possible, the settlement of the Connecticut federal patron- age question, 1t Is known definitely that he had handed to Postmaster General James A. Farley an en- dorsement of Holt Mckinney of Greenwich for appointment to the United States board of tax appeals.
 There is now vacancy on the board and the Connecticut demo- cratic leaders are. seeking appoint ment of man from this state. Mir Mckinney of Greenwich has been actively seeking the post for quite while.
 The endorsement handed Post master General Farley, the admin istration's patronage dispenser, was authorized by many members of the democratic state central committee of which MT Smith is chairman.
 It is also understood that U. s. Senators Augustine Lonergan of Hartford and Francis T. Maloney of Meriden are backing the Green wich man for the place on the tax appeals board.
 The liklihood of MT Mckinney receiving the appointment Is a matter for conjecture as yet, ac- cording to reports from Washing ton, D. c. It was reported in con- nection with Chairman Smiths visit to Washington that he would seek out Farley, Attorney General Homer s. Cummings and the two U. S. senators from Connecticut in an effort to hurry along settlement of federal patronage in this state.
