BRITISH BUY STOCK
IN GENERAL MOTORS
Sir Harry MCGOWAN Said to Have
Invested S5.000,000 in Secur-
ities of the Corporation.

British capital has acquired an ex-
tensive interest in the General Motors
Corporation, it was learned yesterday.
Sir Harry McGowan, chairman OF the
Board of Explosives, Ltd, Of England,
who was recently elected director of the
General Motors Corporation, Is said TO
have purchased $4,000, 900 of General
Motors stock 1t is not certain whether
the purchase was III the preferred or
common shares. There was conflicting
reports as 10 this. Furthermore there was
some confusion over the purchase price.
Inquiry at the offices Of the General
Motors Corporation failed to clear up the
situation, it being said that some definite
statement might be made ar tho meeting
of the directors today II was admitted,
however, that cabcgrams telling OF the
requirement of stock holdings by British
interests were correct,
1t was reported in the financial districts,
New York, that the identification OF
British capital with General Motors m
dicated that the corporation was about
to carry through extensive plans Tor ex-
panding its export business. This even
now is n large item, but the sale OF ma
chimes abroad. IL is said, has not been
carried on 10 the full extent Of the pos
sbilites offered. 1t was lntlmatod that
the corporation might even establish a
plant in England for the manufacture Of
automobiles or at least that an assembling
plant might be built,
There have been reports for some time
that General Motors contemplated some
new financing, and trading in rights was
in order on the Curb several days ago.
II is considered possible that some state
ment rs to the financing may be made

RAILROADS VERY VALUABLE.
Pennsy Official Tells Auditors That Out
look is Very Bright.

Atlantic City. n j., May ia. j.
County Vice President Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad told the American Railway
Accounting Officers Association, in ses-
sion at the Hotel Travmore yesterday
that the railroad investor can take
courage and leave the slough Of despond,
for his properties were never more
valuable.
''The industries, mines and farms can
not progress without reliable railroad
service. The Government itself has q
large investment in them, and the final
settlements of Federal control should
leave them in as good condition as when
taken over, or pay for having it done, 7
he continued.
'fThe largest investment of the ma
tional banks IS still IN railroad bonds.
Immediate political disfavor of the
roads is stamped out by public opinion,
and the new Railroad Act is the first
attempt at a really constructive meas
ure for decade at least.
Taxes and costs can 90 very little
higher without stopping the productive
forces of the country. Rates that pro
duce q fair return must be granted or
the transportation service of the country
viii be disabled and living costs in
creased. State and Federal commissions

ton to Hit La Guordi0.

So far the proceedings of the Board
of Estimate have not been enliVened by
the mirth producing use of a we'll aimed
custard pie. but Charles Chaplin's pres
tige was severely threatened yesterday
when Comptroller Charles L. Craig asked
Mayor Hylan to crown f. Fl. La Guardia,
President on the Board of Aldermen,
with his gavel. The spectators waited
a breathless second. but the Mayor
brought his mallet down on his desk in
stead of on the, Aldermanic President
head.
This one of many exchanges OF pleas
antries happened when Guy Lowell,
architect of the Court House, for whose.
construction the Comptroller represents
the Board Of Estimate as a committee OF
one, asked for an additional appropria-
ton of $4,000 to meet conditions caused
by encountering water in the foundation
work.
objection from Henry II. Curran,
President of the Borough of Manhattan,
precipitated an oral battle between him
and the Comptroller, which La Guardia
interrupted with:
"Oh. stop the noise All this racket
will not drown the truth J!
Whats the matter with your gavel?"
the Comptroller inquired of the Mayor.
Cant you use it on the head of the
President of the Board of Aldermen
when he gets garrulous?"
Out of a calendar so long that 1t ran
in two sections. only two or three items
were acted upon decisively because OF
the constant wranglings of the board.
