RASkOB DENIES
'PLUNG|NG"

John j. Raskob, chairman Of
the Democratic national COM
mittee, who is credited with hay-
ing made millions of dollars on
the stock market, denied yester-
day he is a stock market plum
ger" and asserted he has always
bought his stock outright.
Raskob defended his stock mar
ket record in a letter to Senator
Harrison CD, of Mississippi,
which was read to the Senate,
and in which he denied aSser-
tions made by Senator Robinson
(R0, of Indiana, in the Senate
last week that he was a stock
market plunger.
Robinson, answering a state
ment by Democratic Leader Rob
inSon. of Arkansas, that optin1iS-
tic statements by administration
spokesmen had laid the founda-
ton for the recent market crash,
asserted RaSkob had encouraged
the purchase of stock and led
thousands of small purchasers
into stock market speculation.
Raskob in reply called Robin
sons reference to him a false,
vicious and wholly uuwarranted
attack" The letter continued:
"The answer to it is that I
do not gamble in the stock mar
ket. I have always purchased
stock outright, investing in the
securities of those companies
that thought had an attractive
future and have held the stocks
until such time as I felt they
were selling for all they were
worth"
Raskob pointed out that al
though he had made "bullish'
statements late in 1927 and early
in 1928, he had begun to express
! doubt Of the market situation ir
public statements as early as Octo
Der, 1928.

N.Y.U. REBUKED
FOR BANNING
NEGRO STAR

The nationwide controversy
which arose out of the announce
ment that Dave Myers, New York
University's crack negro football
player, would be benched for the
Georgia game was taken up today
by Representative Celler CD Of
New York, in q blistering letter to
President Elmer F. Brown, in
which he termed the action dis
gushing"
For Coach Meehan to bench
players in difference to Southern
racial prejudice is a slap in the
face Of good Sportsmanship, and
places you, your faculty, and New
York University in a position Of
opprobrium," said Celler.
"You cannot afford to leave
Myers out of the lineup on No
vember 9. Nor does it lie in the
mouth of the University of
Georgia, one of the worst offend
ers of football professionalism, ac-
cording to the Carnegie founda-
ton report, to dictate as to who
shall play or shall not play on
your team"
Celler declared that the sensi-
bilitieS of millions of negroes, a
quarter of a million Of them living
within the shadow of your uni
versity" will be hurt If Myers is
kept out of the game. He called
upon the university mot to be so
unfair as to yield to prejudice"
and not to place a bar sinister
upon Them" but to deal out even
handed Justice"

Smoot tariff bill assumed shape
today when the Democratic-Pro-

Of amendments which the "Old

to accept without debate.
The coalition program is to be
laid before Senator Reed Smoot

dicated a willingness to accept
many coalition proposals as the
only means of breaking the tariff
deadlock.

With all factions agreeing a
bin cannot be completed for
months unless the usual long
Senate debates on hundreds OF
minor tariff schedules is cur
tailed, there appeared strong like
!, Iihood that within the next few
days the tariff fight would be
limited to q comparatively few
major questions.
The power of Senators Borah
(R.) of Idaho and La Toilette
(R.) of Wisconsin is expected to
be felt in the attempted settle
ment. They have been tacitly
selected as Spokesmen for the
Progressive Republican group
which is committed to sharp
boosts in agricultural tariffs with
few increases for industry
Senator Simmons OF North

Smoot today in an effort to bring

leading role in the compromise
movement.

ing the tariff on synthetic cam
phor from the 1922 rate Of 6 cents
q pound to one cent. The Senate
also slashed the menthol tariff
from SO cents, the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber rate, to 80 cents.
The determination of some mem
bers of the coalition to make dras-
tic reductions in the level of the
Fordney- McCumber rates appeared
to be stumbling block to COM
promise with the "Old Guard"
Although some regulars are will
ing to write a tariff bill upon
President Hoover's program of re-
lief of agriculture and a compare
lively few sick industries" they
do not want to disturb the bulk of
the Fordney-McCumber rates.
The Senate took up considera-
