Business Adventurer Morrison Named U S Delegate to World Parley
San Antonio financier Ralph W Morrison, 50, a diverse career figure on two continents, is described as the least known U S delegate to the World Economic Conference in London. Morrison rose from a St Louis engine wiper to adding machine salesman, built utility holdings in Texas and Mexico, led the Central Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture, backed Roosevelt funds, and supported Reed’s 1928 bid. In 1930 he endured a sensational $75,000 kidnapping extortion case near his office, with arrests and some recovered money. Morrison also owned a stable and a Texas ranch and toured South America for business ventures in utilities and rail.

Secretary Wallace urges acreage reductions for wheat cotton and corn, and hog and cattle production curtailment, though he notes resistance during price rises. Creditors delay foreclosures as land values improve.
