NV. Lawson today should an investi-
eating body with higher power than
the present house rules committee
be ordered
This promise came after Lawson
had confeased that all he wanted
was to have Wall street probed to
the bottom
Lawson lodged on the plea that
the situation was too serious TO drag
any name into publicity.
Lawson said the names mfeht not
look well ia newspaper headlines.

resentative
Lawson offered to communicate
HIS information and reveal the third
name to Congressman Garrett of
Tennessee personally, that he might
determine whether or not. it would
be ''disastrous to make the uame
public.''
Finally Lawson admitted under
further questioning that he did not
care anything about the probe ex-
cept to get change in the stock ex-
change system.
All morning Lawson lodged ques-
tioners and some members of the
committee sought to have Lawson
cited before the house In contempt
"A motion to that effect was received
but action on same ives deferred.
Lawson answered Congressman
Harrison's question, Aren't you
common stock speculator?" by say

Chipperfield vented his displeas~
nre several times on Lawson, who
replied in the same strain.
The committee got confession
from the "self-styled farmer to the
effect that .he wasn't interested in
any leak, and really all he wanted
was the New York stock exchange
probed ana reformed by legislative
rules
Lawson said he believed in fed
eral regulations of stock exchanges.
The financier was again asked the
name Of the New York banker" who
told him cabinet officer" had
profited by the leak. Again he re-
fused.

bers Of the committee into the cloak

the house as being in contempt for
