Like Johnson, Roosevelt didn't Jike it. But unlike Johnson he paid no attention to Henderson then. Eight months later, after Henderson's warning had been 'amply borne out, Roosevelt summoned sum-moned him again. This time he listened more attentively. Henderson reiterated his "no" several times after that. He shook his head when offered the "wage-hour administration; also when some of his New Deal intimates inti-mates wanted to use the monopoly investigation for slap-dash muckraking. muck-raking. And he will probably say "no' to both left-wingers and rightwingers as an SECommission-er. SECommission-er. Stocky, friendly, younger in appearance than his 44 years, "Henderson is an ardent liberal. .But he is no radical. Level headed head-ed and as American as slang, he believes in mixing idealism with! the practical. He will fight re-. re-. lentlessly for what he believes is right, but his conception of right ,is never extremist. It is significant that two of Henderson's warmest admirers are such contrasting characters as "Tommy Corcoran, the Brain Trust er, ana nepresentauve nation ; meni was announced. mis, ac-Sumners ac-Sumners of Texas, Old Guard; cording to White House master chairman of the house judiciary committee. I SEC FANTASY Behind Henderson's appointment appoint-ment to the SEC is an inside story even more amazing than his "no" rise to high position. It is a fantastic tale of undercover under-cover intrigue, grudge fights, petty jealousies and egotistical ambitions, plus plain-and-fancy gouging. Not the least fantastic part of the story is the fact that it never would have happened if Roosevelt had announced Henderson's Hender-son's appoinement as soon as SE-Chairman SE-Chairman William Douglas was elevated to the supreme court. There was never any question! at Henderson would be appoint- that ed. Months before, he had been offered the next vacant SEC chair.'

THEY'RE- 5 ' vv IM' With George Raft and Ellen Drew for the serious Bide, and Hugh Herbert and Zazu Pitts for comedy, "The Lady's prom Kentucky" offers the grandest racing story this year. The second feature on this grand program, which opens today at the Uinta, is "Code of the Streets," starring Harry Carey and Prankie Thomas, who is Nancy Drews' toy friend in the Nancy Drew pictures. ( man before Henderson's appoint - minds, would have smoothed the way for Leon's senate confirmation, confirma-tion, which they frankly felt was not going to be easy. While no radical, Henderson is a hard-fisted, hard-boiled regular, and Wall Street doesn't like him. So White Hduse strategists proposed pro-posed to take" the curse off Henderson Hen-derson by making Jerry Frank chairman first.

Douglas demanded Smith's ouster oust-er after a secret investigation of the meddling of certain of his subordinates sub-ordinates in the internal affairs of a big utility corporation, Standard Stand-ard Gas and Electric. Healy defended de-fended Smith, who was his man. But Douglas, with the backing of Jerome Frank and New Deal Commissioner Com-missioner , Edward Eicher, fired him. (Smith's resignation, still unannounced, is effective July 1). Healy said nothing to Frank at the time, but apparently held this .,Qf him fH 0vh t vote for Frank as chairman, he stalled. Later Healy went to the extent of writing Roosevelt a personal per-sonal letter saying he could not see his way clear to cooperate. With the door thus slammed in his face, the president had no Henderson's name to the senate For Henderson's vote would give him the three votes necessary to elect a chairman. ! FRANTIC SCRAMBLE I While this personal drama was taking place, a group of redhot SEC hopefuls took advantage of the situation to stage a scramble for the vacant commissionership. Everybody' wanted the Job. " Chief scramblers were Max Truit, son-in-law of Senate Leader Barkley and holder of a temporary maritime commissionship; Milton Katz, Landis protege who quit the SEC when Douglas became chairman and is now with the antitrust anti-trust division of the justice depart ment; also Allen MacDuffie, in the SECs New York office, who was erroneously publicized as one of the authors of the securities act. These young men looked much better to Wall Street than Henderson. Hen-derson. So various powerful traders trad-ers adopted the strategy of harpooning har-pooning Henderson by boosting the much milder young officials in the SEC. One Wall Streeter even went to the length of calling on Chester Lane, able young SEC general counsel, and urged him to tryvfor Henderson's job. Then leaving Lane's office, he went to Henderson Hender-son and told him Lane was opposing oppos-ing him. This trick came near causing a fight between Henderson Hender-son and Lane, but it was discovered discov-ered just before the explosion. Had Roosevelt not finally bestirred be-stirred himself and put an end to the turmoil by appointing Henderson, Hend-erson, it is hard to say what would have happened to SEC morale. The agency had become a seething seeth-ing cauldron and was about to boil over with devastating effect to all concerned. As it is, the job of placating ruffled feelings and restoring re-storing harmony is going to be one of the big jobs of Leon Henderson Hend-erson when he finally steps into the job which was delayed so long.
