Radio Notes

Ernie Hare and Billie Jones had just finished Friday night broad cast. An NEG page approached Ernie Hare. Whispered converse ton. Hare rushed from the studio to foyer telephone. Then excite ment gave way to mirth. It was n long distance fan call from Port land. Oregon. An enthusiastic Jones and Hare admirer related how much he enjoyed the boys and their pro- grams over NEG. Took ten minutes to give Ernie an earful. to the tele- phonic toll tune of $35.50. Good naturedly Ernie finally said goodbye. hung up, laughed 1t off. Great joke --a call from the Pacific coast. Sure. just one of the boys. Gradually the Jocular smile wore off. Ernie picked up the telephone. checked back with the operator - Sure. MT Hare, that was a real honest -to- goodness call from Portland, Oregon" Amazed Ernie's mirth gave way to genuine excitement.

 Senator Joseph H. Lawlor of Wa terbury joined with Representative Mahaney in favoring the passage of the bill eliminating fixed charges. So did Representatives Hugh Burns and Joseph Jackson of Naugatuck. Representative John D. Thoms of Waterbury heard the arguments as a member of the Judiciary commit tee.
 However, it is reported reliably that the Mahaney bill will be unfa- vorably reported in the house. This means that it will be voted down. .i

Financial Wizard of Bel- videre, H., Has Gone Broke and Leaves Trail of Poor People Who Were Fleeced

Belvidere, III, Feb 11.-(UP)-The financial dream of Belvidere's King Midas has ended, leaving him. he admitted to-day, with nothing but debts and a determination to face the music, whatever the tune may be-"
 1T am penniless and alone" ad- mitted Albert w. Benham, who climbed spectacularly from the posi- tion of shipping clerk to become the towns wealthiest appearing man and the idol of persons to whom he paid 50 per cent interest when times were hard.
 Benham, in a written statement to the press, blamed his failure to "cir- cumstances" and interference" de- claring that if he had been let alone the "Benham system" eventually would have worked out to the worlds advantage" Estimates of the total amount Benham's friends, many of them working people, might lose, varied from about $50,0O0 to more than $4OO,000.
 That further official consideration would be given his failure was indi- cated last night when States At- torney Alex Strom said the grand jury probably would be recalled next week to hear more testimony. Benham, who is 40, is native of Belvidere and worked many years in factories here. A hard worker, he rose steadily until he became chief shipping clerk at the National Sew ing Machine plant, position he held for 20 years.
 About two years ago he began borrowing money from his fellow employees, paying them back each week with large interest.
 His fame began to spread. Persons came from other towns offering to lend him money. Sometimes he paid them 10 per cent interest, some times 50.
 He retired as shipping clerk. At Rockford he organized the Black hawk Finance Company, Inc, to "buy or sell anything, anywhere, anytime" He became recognized as Belvidere's | wealthiest man and the greatest friend of the working man with a little money to Invest. Bank officials estimated that with in a few months more than a quar- ter million dollars was withdrawn from their institutions by persons who lent the money to Benham. A few weeks ago Benham gained national attention. Investigations were threatened. He welcomed them. Last week he still appeared confident. Last night he announced he was "broke."
 Benham's announcement was bit ter He declared he was through with the "business world" and asked nothing except to be 'let alone."
 His Blackhawk company reported he had turned over to it his home for the consideration of $1.
 T have paid out every cent I have to investors" he stated, "and pledge myself to pay back every cent owe."
 In an unwritten statement, Ben ham indicated he had accepted loans from about 800 persons and that the original investments were due most of them.

Market Puzzles
 the Traders
fContinued from Page 1)

There were no predictions on probable volume, either. So far this week, Monday and Tuesday, sales more than the 8,3OO,0OO shares traded all of last week. Should the market suddenly turn about it is ex- pected trading will run over 5,OOO,- 900 shares
 Wall street was puzzled by the sudden upturn. One authority said the turn was logical for Wall street which, he said, always goes to ex- tremes. Steady investment buying by large and small buyers gradually had decreased the floating supply in some stocks so that little heavy buying by shorts" or pools was enough to shoot prices skyward. In the business world there was no perceptible change, conditions re- maining about as they have been. Steel production was making less than seasonal progress and warm weather was holding back buying of seasonal lines. Unified orders on the books of the U. s. Steel Corpora tion showed an unexpectedly large increase yesterday, however.
 Conservative bankers said this was AO tAAAiO AOI a Oull IIldIh IhelS lIldI lHc market was not in a position to dis count 8 turn in business later, and that quiet list moving in a narrow range was the best aid for business rally.
 In the upswing of the last three days, some stocks rose more than 100 per cent above recent lows. Auburn Auto rose to 191 IA, a gain of 220 per cent from its low.
 Among the larger gains were Celo- tex to 10 or 233 per cent; Eitingon Schild ? 1-8 to 9 or 28O per cent; Foundation company from 1-2 to 10 3-4 or 210 pr cent; National Bel las Hess 2 IA to 8 or 26O per cent; United Electric Coal IA to 8 or 270 per cent; and Ward Baking B. 2 to 8 5-8 or 1855 per cent.
 Gains of 100 to nearly 200 per cent were made by Alleghany Cor poration, Amreican Woolen pre- ferred, Gohn Aluminium and Brass, Curtiss-Wright, Caterpillar Tractor, Fashion Park, General Theatres Equipment, Industrial Rayon, Inter- national Combustion, Revere Brass, Shell Union Oil, Warner Brothers Pictures, Western Pacific and Worth ingtOn Pump.
