Tradition To Vanish

Evidence is accommodating almost
daily that President Roosevelt will
be renominatcd for Il third term at
the coming Chicago convention, and
that the nation will toss out the Win
dow its ancient tradition against per-
hitting any man to hold the prcsi-
dcncy more than two terms Of four
years each. The Democratic party
seems To- be coming around fast to
the conviction that it has no other
man suitable or capable Of carrying
its standards to victory in this cleo
ton year.
II nominated, Mr.. Roosevelt will
in all likelihood be elected in No
vember. Victory for him next fall
is about as much Of Il certainty as
is his nomination in July.
Speculation as to whether the
chief executive desires another term
is largely beside the point. His sill
encc as to his intentions adds mo-
mentum to the movement to draft
him, and he will be in position to say
that he could not easily push the
crown from him under such circum-
stances.
Even if miracle should happen
and the President refuse the nomi-
nation, he will be in position to die
tate the full ticket, and that would
mean choice of q candidate who
would continue the policies of the
present administration to the best of
his ability. A weaker man, one with
less personality and magnetism for
| leadership, might not possess as
! much force, but the weight and in
| fluence Of the powers that go with
the presidency would compensate for

FIeishhacker Plans
To Face Charges
Of Misrepresentation
$55,000 Belonged to
California Banker,
Attorney Declares
BY the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 29.-
Herbert Fleishhacker, who rose from
bookkeeper to q dominant position
in Western finance, arranged to
surrender today on a Federal indict-
ment charging him with misap-
propriating $55 900 through the huge
bank he once headed.
Harry S. Young, attorney for the
elderly philanthropist, civic leader
and art patron, said Fleishhacker
would surrender to United States
Commissioner E. E. Williams this
morning and post bail fixed at
IS 900.
Attorney Issues Statement.
Fleishhacker, 6s-year -old former
president Of the Anglo-California
National Bank, did not comment
directly, but Mr.. Young issued a
statement declaring the financier
had taken nothing to which he was
not entitled.
The indictment charged that
Fleishhacker on October %, 1897
withdrew the money without author
ization from the account in his bank
held by the now defunct Pacific
Mail Steamship Co., that he con-
verted the funds into cashier &
checks and used them himself.
One section of the indictment
charged that Fleishhacker indorsed
and gave a 5000 check to Paul
Shoup, former Southern Pacific Co
Evening star., 1940-03-29

president and a stockholder In the
steamship concern.
United States Attorney Frank
Hennessy said that last January the
entire $55,000 was returned to the
bank in Fleishhacker's behalf by one
of his attorneys. Hennessy also stat
ed that Shoup was not involved in
the alleged misapplication.
Young's statement for Fleish-
hacker said his client and an asSo-
ciate owned 90 per cent Of the stock
In the steamship company, which
was in liquidation between 1926 and
1887.
In view of this, Young said, they
felt that they were fully entitled to
receive such funds Of this corpora
ton as were distributable to them"
Answering the indictments charge
that Fleishhacker took the money
without consent of the steamship
company, Young contended that the
financier was in effect the company
himself, and therefore 1t was his
own money.
