ling exchange touched parity Of "a, 1866
in the New York Foreign Exchange
Market today for the first time since
June 30, 1926. Sterling cables changed
hands as high as $486 21.32.
Sterling exchange has been rising
Slowly but steadily since the Spring
of the year, having reached its 1927
low level in February. The recovery
has been aided by the decline in
money rates in the United States,
which has led to the transfer of huge
amounts Of capital to London, where
higher interest rates are available.
This transfer Of funds, which has
been accomplished by the purchase
of sterling and the sale of dollars. has
materially assisted foreign buyers in
making their Autumn purchases of
grain, cotton and other American
farm products. Ordinarily, such pur-
fhases have been financed abroad, but
this year British importers have found
II profitable to make their arrange
fnents in this country, which has re.

CAMPAIGN CLEANUP
fight CONTINUES.
Reed Committee Makes Two
Distinct Efforts

Washington. Feb. % (UP)-The
movement to purge the American
election system of high finance and
poor ballot counting reached a new
phase in the senate today.
The Reed election Investigation
committee, designed to plan legisla-
ton for reform, started two distinct
efforts; % to begin recount of
the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia
senatorial election ballots, and Cd to
test the senate's power to Jail three
men who handled thousands of dol
lars in the expensive Pennsylvania
and Illinois primaries, and refused
to tell all about it.
Twenty van loads of Philadelphia
votes and six carloads from Pitts
burgh are stored in the senate office
building basement ready for recount
Chairman James A. Reed of Mis-
souri,, chairman CT the committee
announced he will seek action i'm
mediately in the senate to authorize
the recount and strengthen the
powers of the committee to investi-
gate during the congressional recess
all elections of 1926. Senator Reed
republican, Pa, who objected tenn
porarily to the resolution giving the
| committee that power, was under
stood to have agreed to withdraw
his objection upon assurance that
the committee probably would also
count the county ballots outside
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
The committee has discovered that
1t lacks power to go into the Maine
election because it was a special
vote, While there is at present no
intention of investigating that race.
/ Reed also seeks that additional
power.
The committee in the remaining
ten days of congress probably will
recommend contempt proceedings
against at least one of three wit
nesses declining to furnish certain
/ information.
Thomas w. Cunningham, Phila-
delphia court clerk, stcadfastly re-
fused to tell where he obtained
$4,000 he contributed to the cam
paign of the Ware ticket in the
Pennsylvania primary. His case is
definitely closed and it is expected
he will be cited by the senate,
! which will result in a Jail sentence
! if the proceedings are carried out
to conviction by a jury.
Samuel insult, traction million
aire who gave nearly a quarter of
a million dollars to various politi-
cal factions in the Illinois primary,
has refused to tell but one phase
of his activity names of men
and organizations to whom he
gave 100000 for the Chicago coun-
ty ticket. He is to be given an
other chance Saturday. as will his
attorney, Daniel Schuyler, who re-
fused similar information.
The citations probably will be
presented to the senate next We'd
, nesday.
