F D R D STOCKS
NOT LISTED

The New York Stock Echange
never would accept Henry Ford's
motor stock for listing because Of
restrictions which did not make the
shares readily negotiable, Henry
q. s. Noble, former president Of
the exchange, testified today as a
Government witness in the $50, co.,
900 tax suit against the former Ford
stockholders. =
The testimony was adduced in
connection with the Government g
efforts to prove that the $500 val
uation of the shares was far too
high.
Restrictions on Ford certificates
were an impediment to their ready
negotiability," Noble said.
The witness declared on cross.ex-
animation. however, that participat.
ing stocks were listed on the ex-
change. He explained that IL a
holding company purchased stock in
corporation and issued participat-
ing certificates against 1t, these
might be listed.
