Senator Walker inquired whether il
was fact that what the committee
wanted TO do was TO inquire into the
practice of financial Institutions TO re-

Lockwood said that was precisely the
case.

Those who are opposing US are taking
counsel OF their fears rather than THEN
reason"
The Legislature has no desire to re-
strict the committee or block the in
quiry, Senator Lusk said and explained
that the opinion OF the leaders was that
needed to so through with the inquiry.
He reviewed the original resolution as
presented by the committee and the
amending resolution agreed upon by tine
leaders. ~
THE only thing cut out is the pro-
vision for a collateral inquiry" Mr..
Lusk said. 'sThe committees the. leaders
or both houses and the Assembly have
concurred that the committee should not
start out on new inquiry.
For Some rason not explained the
eminent counsel FOR the committee
seems to have deep and insatiate de-
sire to investigate certain financial ir-
terests. We must adhere to a policy of
holding committees sent out 20 investi-

cannot be allowed to start out on cor
lateral queries. We do not want to
launch another Armstrong investiga ton

THE information we want is not so
much what the companies have done
with their investments as why they have
done it, Mr.. Lockwood interrupted
Why have corporations which make
their money out of New York building

Isn't 1t because there are bigger re-

Insurance companies which make

say they have no money for sub

committee wants to show is why the
companies go into such enterprises.
one OF the most dangerous phases OF
the whole building situation in New

financial institutions will make loans
