A niy 1 WHO'S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Feature WNU Service.) XJEW YORK. Back in the days of Socklesa Jerry' Simpson and the Populists and the rock-and-sock battle between Wall Street and the Corn Belt, It Come to Pa there was Banner fie a Farmer to Lead prairie heal er and evan gelist named Slater who scolded the farmers for their intemperate talk about the New York bankers, and said that when the millennium came they would be brothers again. The evangelist might have been locked up had he predicted that within four or five decades the board of directors of the New York Stock exchange would hire an Illinois farmer, with no experience in se curities dealing, to be president of the exchange. These things came to pass, in the Rev. Mr. Slater s scriptural par lance. By unanimous vote of the board of governors, the $i8,000-a-year exchange job is offered to Emil Schram, operator of the Hartwell Farms at Hillview, 111., and head of the Reconstruction Finance cor poration since July, 1939. As this is .written there is word from Washing ton that Mr. Schram will accept the post. The tall, baldish, urbane, deep voiced Mr. Schram has been es 'teemed in Washington for his bi lingual accomplishments. It has been noted that he can talk to New Dealers and business men in their own language. Under the tutelage of Jesse Jones, who brought him into the RFC, and whom he succeeded as its head, he has served not only as a liaison between business and government, but between agri cultural and industrial interests. Shrewd onlookers in Wan Street are interpreting his call to the big board as a protective meas ure by the governors. The idea is that he might be a shock ab sorber as war tension brings more governmental regulation. Of the third generation of German immigrants, Emil Schram finished high school injjPeru, Ind., and took a job as a roustabout and handy man in J. O. Cole's lumber and coal yard. J By the time He was twenty-one, he was the bookkeeper for the business. Several years later, his employer took over 5,000 acres of swamp land on the Illinois river. He assigned his young bookkeeper the job of draining and developing the large tract of land. Within a few years, the yield from the land was run up from 6,000 ci. u bushels of corn per expert in Work Of Reclamation year, to 140,' 000, with other crop increases in proportion. Young Mr, Schram acquired a substantial inter est in the project, which became the Hartwell Land trust. Twenty tenant farmers have been on the reclaimed land for more than 25 years. Mr. Scbxam's first contacts with the federal government cam 1b later years as he be came active in community drainage and reclamation proj ects) requiring federal co-opera- , tlon.
