publication of his magazine article
which aroused the present controversy
was made public yesterday. 1t was
said that Magruder had evaded or
answered unsatisfactory a group of
questions put to him in an effort to
elicit information to support the
charges he had made.
Secretary Wilbur made it clear that
Magruder's removal was not actuated
by the magazine article itself, but
rather by his subsequent assertions in
speeches and in official correspondence.
Declaring Magruder's removal as
an Outrage" Senator MCkellar in a
radio address delivered last night at
Memphis asserted that instead of te-
ing criticized he should he thanked
by the Navy, by Congress and by ,he
people of the country. If Navy Off

to say only kind words about condi-
tions in the department, he said, it
is time for Congress TO step in and
remedy the matter"

BLIND GRAIN BROKER
TRADES IN CHICAGO
John Setback Strangely Calm
Figure in Turmoil Of
Wheat Pit.
Correspondence o, the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
CHICAGO.--In the shouting, ges-
ticulating mob of brokers milling
around the grain pit in the Chicago
Board of Trade often Is seen a stra nge-
ly calm figure. In unhurried fashion
the trader does business on a large
scale, but he never takes part in the
bewildering system of hand signals
which transfer ownership of millions
of bushels OF grain with the raising
of a finger.
The broker who goes about his busi-
ness SO quickly is John Setback. He
is stone blind.
When Shack. in the turmoil Of the
pit, decides to buy or sell, he listens
for a suitable offer from some broker
within immediate reach and then
closes the transaction with a shrill
quick word sold"
Always the kindly hand of the bro.
ker nearest him pencils the neces-
sary record of the transaction on the
sightless mans trading card.
Setback formerly represented in the
pit one of the largest grain compa MES
in the world. Overnight, after an ex-
citing day, he went blind, his optic
nerves being paralyzed.
A boy leads him around the familiar
corridors of the Board of Trade, but
when he reaches the pit he becomes
as keen a part of the rough and
ready trading as in the days when he
had his sight.
