BEARS WOULD WELCOME PROBE
Declared Anxious to Tell Senators Their
Side of Story.


NEW YORK, February 2e GP)-While
most of the leading spectators who
have been identified with the bear side
Of the stock market were away from
Wall Street today, their associates eX-
pressed belief that some Of them would
welcome an opportunity to appear before
the Senate investigating committee.
The function of short selling II was
contended, has not been fully appre-
ciated and advocates of short selling
said Washington inquiry would give
bears a chance to present their side
of the argument. They have insisted
that abuses were more general IN 1929
on the bull side of the market than
they have ever been on the bear side.
Bernard E. Smith. member Of the
New York Stock Exha~-2 and popularity
regarded as one of the leading bears
since the market crash of 1929, was on
the floor Of the Exchange today In
keeping with past practice he declined
to be interviewed Associates said how
ever. that Mr.. Smith had turned to the
bull side Of the market some time ago,
and has been actively interested in
Alaska Juneau, among other stocks. He
went to Alaska last year to visit the gold
mines of that company in connection
with his efforts to attract wider public
interest to its shares.
William Danforth of Boston, another
active speculator who played promi-
nent role on the short side with The
crash of 1929, was reported to be in
Miami, Fla The Boston speculator.
whose rise to stock market prem nence
was a spectacular feature in the bear
market, said several months ago that
he had turned from the bear to the
bull side.
So far as could be learned, none of
the Streets prominent bears have yet
been invited to appear in Washington.

Agreement Indicated.

The preliminary draft convention ap-
proved yesterday as a conference yard
stick represents the nearest approach
to an agreement on disarmament in the
preparatory commission
1t opens with an agreement on the
part of each nation to limit and as far
as possible reduce armaments. 1t pro-
vides limitation Of peacetime effectives
and conscript army period.
1t also provides indirect limitation Of
land material through limited expendi-
ture and direct limitation of naval ma
terial by tonnage and gun caliber. Ma
val expenditures are also limited, as
well as the total number, horsepower,
and volume Of dirigibles, and the total
number and horsepower of airplanes.
Since there are substantial reserva-
tions to these and other provisions of
the draft convention, it is in effect
merely skeleton framework without
any actual figures of limitation inserted.

FORMER SOLICITOR
ASSA|LS PRESIDENT
Charles A. Russell BIames
Water-PoWer Act MuIlifi-
cation on Hoover.

An echo of the Federal Power Com
mission controversy OF two years ago
was heard yesterday when adminlstra-
ton of the Federal water power act
under President Hoover was aSsailed by
Charles A. Russell, who was dropped
as solicitor of the commission when it
was reorganized in December, 1880.
Speaking at luncheon forum OF the
National Popular Government League,
Russell, who for some time has served
as Gov. Roosevelt's special counsel on
water power matters, said:
Places Blame.
1.-THE fundamental responsibility for
the notification of the Federal water
power act and the continued congestion
of fictitious investment claims of power
companies rests squarely upon the
shoulders of President Hoover"
Two commissions came under Mr..
Russells fire-that formerly composed
of the Secretaries of War, Agriculture
and Interior and the present group.
Russell also reviewed his fight with F.
E. Bonner, the executive secretary OF
the commission who also lost out in
the reorganization. William V. King,
chief accountant, was dropped at the
same time, but was later returned to
Office.
At the outset of his speech, Russell
outlined the important principles OF the
water power act, which fixes net in
vestment as the basis for rates, i'm
pounding of excess profits and recap
ture at the end OF the statutory 50year
leaSeholG.
Suffered From Obstruction.
Vital enforcement, he said, has
suffered first from the ingenious and
uprelenting obstruction of the power
companies. Second, and more dam
gerously it has suffered from the same
sort of obstruction inside the commits
sion by those who espoused either the
power companies interests or the COM
panies' point CT view"
Russell said that from the passage
of the water power act in 1920. until
the early days Of the administration of
President Hoover, the act was carried
out as well as "riggardly appropria-
tions" would permit, under the super
vision of o. c. Merrill, executive
secretary.
Merrill was getting out on June 80,
1929. Russell continued, and it develop
ed his program was to be reversed. He

claims OF the insult interests, totaling
$8O0,O00 in the Cumberland Falls case.
Bonner objected to the opinions hav-
ing been rendered when they had not
been asked for Russell said. and eX-
pressed Coubt if he would give them to
king. Russell then quoted Bonner as
saying that II am carrying out the in
structions of President Hoover. Those
instructions were given to me when
became secretary"
Russell described the present Power
Commission as IAN excellent example of
know nothing do nothing and be Moth
ing, although he excluded from this de-
scription Commissioner McNinch and
Commissioner Draper, Cne of those who
participated in the meeting which
brought about Russells removal.

MOSCOW, January 22.-The final
uprooting" of capitalism in the villages
of Russia was officially announced today
as the most important result OF the
first five-year plan. At the same time
instructions were issued for the begin
ming of the second plan, in which work
ers, it was declared, would fare two or
three times better than under the first.
Under the second plan, said the re-
port the living standards OF the WORK
ers must be raised and the people must
be supplied with two or three times the
amount of the principal necesSarieS OF
life they had during the operation OF
the first plan, which Russia hopes to
complete this year.
The instructions were contained IN
reports of Vyacheslaff M. Molotoff, pres
ident of the council of peoples commits
sars, and v. V. KuybiSheV, vice preSi-
dent of the council and head OF the
State planning commission. These
were approved by the political bureau
of the Communist party and published
in Moscow newspapers.
Projects to Be Completed.
The second five-year plan, the report
said would be a completion of the first,
which was prepared as a basis for the
more powerful growth of socialism in
the Soviet Union. 1t placed heavy in
duStry on a firm footing and trans
formed Russia from a country Of little
agriculture into the largest farming ma
ton in the world through the applica-
ton of collectiviSm and machine tech
nique.
Declaring the most important result
has been the uprooting Of capitalism
in the villages, 1t added that Lenins
question, Who will beat Whom?" has
been answered irrevocably in favor Of
socialism, both in the cities and villages,
and that the material standard of the
workers has risen steadily.
During the second fiye-year plan, it
said, the classes must be finally and
completely abolished.
Reorganization Planned.
Realization of these ideals under the
second plan, it pointed out, Is possible
only on the basis Of an extensive tech
nical reconstruction in industry trans
portation and agriculture. Because the
completion of technical reconstruction
depends upon machines, the reports
said it is necessary to increase the out
put of machinery at least three or three
and half times. BY 1897 the output
of electrical energy must be increased
six times, $50, 100000 tons of coal must
be produced compared with 10000 900
tons in 1882. the iron output must be
increased to at least % 900 900 tons and
the production of oil must be increased
two and half to three times what it
is now.
Railway transportation must be COM
pletely reorganized, from 25, 900 to 10000
kilometers of new railways built, larger
and more powerful rolling stock pro-
vided and lines electrified.
Further developments must also be
made in production of non-ferrous
metals and chemicals, in water trans
portation, airways, roads and in light in
