Heaviest Donor To New Deal
Is Not In "Who's Who"- Yet

Der of the mythical Business Men for
Roosevelt Before Nov. 3 Club" Be
tween this group, and the For Roose-
Welt After Nov. Club" rather sharp
liae may some day be drawn.
Diligent researchers, intrigued by
this open-handed contributor, find
that he is an independent oil man
like Alfred M. Landon. He is an Of
ficial of the Benedum Trees Oil Com
pany, which. according to its head,
the picturesque Mike" Benedum, spe
cializes in the development of new oil
properties in the United States, Mex
leo, and South America.
Mr.. Jones is described by some who
have met him as a typical business
man"-untypical, however, in his
massive contribution to the New Deal
war chest-whose main interests are
in oil, without any great political as
pirations He is said, however, to be
keenly interested in President ROoSe-
welt and the political activity of Sen
ator Joseph F. Guffey, of Pennsyl-
vania, now one of the two or three
dominant party leaders in the ranks
of democracy.
With Governor George Earle OF
Pennsylvania one of the chiefly men
toned Democrats for the Presidency
in 1910, Mr.. Jones' position as pos
! sible power behind the candidacy be-
comes Of even greater interest than
his unparalleled benefactions this
year. Mr.. Jones is not set down as
ao1xr n ir11x
not in the class of the du Pont fam
ily or any of numerous other contri-
butors to the Republican sinews.
Mr.. Jones was one of the indus
trialists accepting invitations to at
tend the Council for. Industrial Pro
gress here last week. He addressed
the Independent Petroleum Assocla
ton of America at it's Dallas conven-
ton last year, being accepted as q
spokesman for President Roosevelt
He urged the oil men to hold the

Pennsylvania oil men thus have
taken big part in financing the late

presided over the Republican finance
committee and was a generous donor
John D. M. Hamilton, national chair
man, was on very close terms with
Mr.. Pew, and the latter's future role
in Republican management and fin
ancing is expected to be weighty.
Anyway, it can safely Ibe forecast
that any Mr. Jones who gives $1O6,50C
