THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

I MARKET BOARD 1 CHIEF WISE TO WALLSLWAYS Joe Kennedy Should Be, He Made Millions There Himself. By Rerippe-Hoirnrcl X nrnpqprr Alliance WASHINGTON, July 12—President Roosevelt wanted a couple of Wall Street eyes on Wall street. That, partly, is the reason he selected six-foot, frecked, red-haired Joseph P. Kennedy to head the securities and exchange commission, now organizing for its complicated task of supervising the issuance of securities and regulating the stock markets. For “Joe’’ Kennedy, as the j President has called him for years, i knows the ins and outs of the market. The jargon is his language. Fluently he talks of “fly guys,” the traders who jump into the market Monday and get out Thursday with enough quick money to take a vacation, as he expresses it. That sort of business is out henceforth, says Mr. Kennedy, who is still sensitive about the revelation that he got a cut out of one of the “repeal” stock pools of 1933. A history of the alcohol pool operation was laid before Mr. Roosevelt as an argument against the appointment of Mr. Kennedy, but without success. Ties of friendship bind these two men who met when Mr. Roosevelt was assistant navy secretary and Joe Kennedy was in charge of shipbuilding for Bethlehem Steel, boss as a youngster of 55,000 men. Thereafter their paths separated. ! Franklin Roosevelt ran, unsuccess- ; fully, for vice-president, was 1 plunged for a time into political I oblivion by disease, then came back :as Governor of New York. Mr. j Kennedy went from steel into the brokerage business, then blossomed ! forth as a moving picture magnate. Irish to the Core A year before Governor Roosevelt became a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination their ! acquaintance was renewed in the | executive mansion at Albany, Irish heart and Irish soyl, Joe i Kennedy threw himself into the | campaign to elect his friend Presi- | dent. And he opened his pocketbook. He sat with the board of strategy !at the Chicago convention. He was ! a familiar figure on the Roosevelt campaign train. James A. Farley relied on him. | There were vague reports that ! Mr. Kennedy would get this or Ihot I government post, even a rnbmet i portfolio. But he dropped from the picture. He did not even attend the inauguration. It was assumed that he preferred private life.

Financial Prodigy Then, this summer, came the opportunity to give Mr. Kennedy a job that he knew' something about. Mr. Farley was insistent that the President appoint him. He got the job despite the protests of those who did not see why a Wall street man should sit on a commission to regulate Wall street. Joe Kennedy was a financial prodigy. After graduation from Harvard, where he played first base on the Crimson nine, he became a state bank examiner. His father and a group of friends organized a bank, the Columbia Trust Company, and at 25 he became its president. When the w r ar came along he went with Bethelhem Steel at its Fore river plan in Massachusetts. Mered Film Companies Subsequently, he transferred his activities to Hayden-Stone, becoming its Boston manager. There he learned the investment and brokerage business under the late Galen Stone, whom he numbers among the great in American finance. Expanding his operations he ventured into the motion picture field and w'as, at one time, operator of three competing corporations. It was he who merged Pathe, First National and Films Booking Offices into what is now R. K. O. —Radio-Keith-Or-pheum. For a period he was chairman of B. F. Keith & Cos. He has made lots of money and lots of friends. For his charming wife, four sons and five daughters —the children range from 2Vi to 19 —he has homes in New York and at Cape Cod. He spends his winters in Florida—at least he has. His newjob probably will introduce him to Washington winters. BOY SCOUTS INITIATED 2 Win “Fireorafter” Award at City Reservation.
