Normal Home Life Denied Pecora, but He Enjoys Rare Intervals With Family

Firebrand Attorney Never Worries Wife With His Investigations. BY HELEN WELSHIMER NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, June I.—Ferdinand Pecora, the immigrant lad from Sicily who grew up to disturb the even tenor of Wall Street’s ways, never prepares his financial bombshells at home, according to his wife, Florence Louise Pecora. But by the same count, the swarthy curly-headed lawyer who sits in the national spotlight as conductor of the senate inquiry into the affairs of J. P. Morgan & Cos., doesn't spend much time with his family. His job doesn't permit normal home life. “Mr. Pecora is very boyish and human when he isn't engaged on a case," his wife says. "He has a keen sense of humor and he loves to have people around. We're fond of parties, quiet home parties, in those rare intervals when he isn’t at work. A E'ight Is His Hobby ••When Mr. Pecora has five hours" sleep we begin to think that he has overslept. He doesn't think much about food. He hasn’t time. "For breakfast he has fruit, an egg, a roll and coffee. Spaghetti, prepared as his mother, who lives up in the Bronz, fixes it, is his favorite dish. In fact, he likes anything she cooks better than anybody else's cooking. "He avoids pastries and sweets, though. Meals of course never are regular. "He has always loved a good fight better than anything else in the world, but he makes sure that he is fighting for a cause he believes to be right. "As for clothes, his tastes are conservative, but he likes to have plenty of ties and socks and everything else. ... He golfs and swims. He loves the opera, for he is very musical. He likes the theater, too. but lately I have had to go without him.’’ Doesn’t Bring Worries Home When Pecora comes into his luxurious apartment, overlooking Riverside drive, he forgets his cares, his wife says. He won’t talk about business or politics. The chairs in the living room are the great cushioned type, built entirely for comfort. The pictures on the wall show scenes from Italian gardens and bays. The man whose investigations have put more than one noted financier to the wall for a combat, has earned the right to a little leisure, though he never takes it, the blue-eyed woman, whose hair is the color of copper pennies newlyminted, will tell you. She was married to Pecora 22' 2 LOGANSPORT FIRM GETS $124,130 PAVING JOB Eight Miles of Concrete to Be Laid in Turkey Run Park.

Here is Ferdinand Pecora in the role of family man, with Mrs. Pecora and their son, Louis, 18.

years ago when he was a struggling young lawyer. They have an 18-year-old son, Louis, a student at New York University. Pecora, born in the hill town of Nicosia, in Sicily, came to America with his father when he was 5 years old. He learned to speak English at a New York public school, and decided that he wanted to be a clergyman. He enrolled in St. Stephen’s Theological seminary, where he studied for one year. But money was scarce in his father’s family and there were six younger brothers and sisters to be educated. The lad gave up his clerical ambition. He got a job as errand boy in a law office, and decided that he, too, would be a lawyer—not one who sat at a desk and looked up records in musty books, but one who went into court and fought battles. Somehow he saved money every week, and after a while entered New York law school. When he was 27, back in 1909, he was admitted to the New York state bar.

Marble Champions Will See Marvels at Fair

Midway at Exposition in Chicago Offers World of Amusement. Is "Bozo” grinning or growling? This fearful face will greet the Indianapolis Marble champion, who goes to the Chicago Century of Progress Exposition June 26-29 as guest of The Times. But it makes no difference whether he is grinning or growling, after all. That head is a feature of the "Midway,” avenue of shows and pleasure at the great fair. In the background you can see part of the Lighted Concourse, one of the show spots of the fair. When the expoistion closed its contest for a name for its amusement zone, it was found that most of the entrants had suggested that the name be merely “The Midway.” This is because at Chicago’s other world's fair, the Columbian Exposition, forty years ago, fame of the “Midway Plaisanee” added the word to the language. “Plaisanee” was forgotten, but the central avenue of every carnival, every fair's amusement zone, every street of light, gaiety and fun, has been “The Midway” since. “Bozo" is the guardian of the Midway at the Century of Progress exposition. The Midway is subtitled the “City of a Million Lights.” All the hues of the rainbow go into the lighting, as they do, in fact, for the entire exposition. From the sky ride towers, the marble champs will look down Lief Eriksen drive, transformed into the Midway to appear like a mile of dazzling jewels connecting the two ends of the fair. Along the Midway the young marbles champions will see everything from the "Fort Dearborn Massacre” to oriental bazars and European villages.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

He liked politics. He joined Theodore Roosevelt’s forces, and was appointed vice-chairman of the New York county progressive Republicans. In 1916 he left that party, joined the Wilson ranks, signed up with Tammany Hall, and in 1918 was given a deputy assistant’s job in the district attorney’s office. A dozen years passed. He stayed at that desk. Then, in 1922, he was given the position of chief assistant district attorney. Eight more years passed. When 1930 came he resigned to take up a private practice. But the former Tammany assistant district attorney couldn’t escape the limelight. He had been mentioned for several high offices, which somehow he hadn't received. Lawyers respected him. He had obtained convictions in 80 per cent of his cases while in the district attorney’s office. Milk grafters, bucket shops, police graft, ballot frauds—they all felt his lash. Thomas C. T. Cain became district attorney in 1930 and Pecora left the offices. Then his present job, which was going to give him

Fifteen hundred pheasant eggs have been sent to thirty fish and game organizations and individual sportsmen for hatching purposes, it was announced today by Kenneth M. Kunkel, director of the fish and game division of the state conservation department. When hatched they will be released to add to the general wild life of the state for the benefit of all sportsmen, Kunkel pointed out.

a chance for all the drama that his eager, colorful Latin nature demands, was offered to him. He was given the position of special counsel to the senate banking and currency committee. Last January he and his two assistants, Julius Silver and David Saperstein rented a quiet office. They subpenaed records from the financial houses of the mighty. And a few days ago they announced their findings. Pecora has many successes that are well known. The Insull crash was one of his investigating assignments. He was influential in summoning Richard Whitney, president of the New York Stock Exchange, to the witness stand in Washington to explain short selling. The Harriman Bank and Trust Company investigation had its beginning in his office, too. Now he is probing private banking interests. Meantime, his wife watches eagerly for reports—but won’t ask too many questions. For at home, Pecora’s only role is that of husband and father.
