It was while Ogden Hammond was seriving as Ambassador to Spain during the Coolidge administration that his daughter met Count Ro- berti. Since his retirement from diplomacy, Hammond has been president of the Broadway Invest- ment Company, vice-president of the First National Bank of Jersey City, a director of Public Service Corporation of New Jersey and var- jous other firms. He was also ac- tive on behalf of Fascist Spain at the time Italy was aiding Franco, and participated in various fund- raising drives for the Fascists. NOTE — U. S. officials strongly suspect that part of the $2,000,000 carried by Count Roberti to Mex- ico was used to pay for the obvious- ly inspired demonstration against Vice-President-elect Wallace soon after he arrived.
