Rockefeller abandons charter plan as Foundation affair denied
Washington dispatch says John D. Rockefeller dropped plans for a national charter for his proposed foundation. Starr J. Murphy and Standard Oil spokesmen insist the report is unfounded and that Rockefeller had no role in the Economic and General Foundation seeking a New York legislature charter for an aged man of wealth to donate 2.5 million. Other items note a new rural mail division taking effect July 1 with about 56 million in annual appropriations under its supervision.
