Rockefeller, jr., the effort to wrest the Standard Oil Indiana board chairmanship from ol. Robert W. Stewart. “I have written some letters to owners it Standard OIl stock asking them to ve their proxies to Mr. Rockefeller,” r. Rosenwald said, adding that he self is not a stockholder. “I said in those letters that it was ftting for s‘ockholders in any enter: ged by officers whom they could trusf Mr. Rosenwald said he did not care o make & public statement in explana- ion of his attitude, declaring he did not onsider it a public question, He sald e knew the younger Rockefeller well nd admired him. Asked if he knew Pol. Stewart, his reply was: Yes, but I do not admire him.” Mr. Rosenwald is a trustee of the University of Chicago, which is Rocke- teller encowed, but he said that had nothing do with his stand on the Stewart stewardship.
