OAKLAND, Calif., (JP)—A re
cluse who collected atomic and
other defense data as a hobby

nothing more serious.
The FBI accepted Otto Fred
erick Maynard’s story that he is

Seattle Grocer Is
Nominee Of
Greenback Party
SEATTLE, (/P) — A Seattle
neighborhood grocer is the na
tion’s first nominee for the 1952
presidential race.
But, he declared modestly from
behind his campaign counter, he
doesn’t really expect to win.
The Greenback party announ
ced in Indianapolis yesterday the
nomination of Fred C. Proehl of
Seattle for the White House.
The party platform, in brief, is:
“Let’s have more of the green
stuff.”
It advocates issuance of green
backs by the government “direct
ly to the people for services and
supplies.”
Proehl said he was “mildly sur
prised” at the nomination. His
wife started right off joshing him
about what she would wear
“when we get to the White
House.”
The neighborhood grocery will
be the presidential campaign
headquarters.
“I’ve been making speeches
about banking and money reform
for 30 years,” be declared. “I
don’t intend to stop now.”
Proehl became interested in the
party 10 years ago after 10 years’
banking experience.
