KREUGER SECURITIES
IN SEVERE DECLINE
Variance of American Bankers
and Stockholm Probers on As
sets Is Cause.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March 26.-Kreuger &
Tool securities and the bonds and pre-
ferred stock of its subsidiary. the Inter-
national Match Co., suffered wide-open
breaks on the New York market today.
The sharp variance Of views expressed
by the commission established in Stock
holm to investigate the Kreuger & Toll
Co.'S affairs and by the American
bankers for the company, Lee, Higgin-
son e. Co., caused fresh apprehension
over the prospect of an international
banking conflict over the tangled state
Of Kreuger finances.
Lee, Higginson g. Co. said that repre-
sentatives of the firm are in Stock
holm 'endeavoring to clarity the situa-
ton"
The Stockholm commissions state
ment that the assets Of Kreuger & Toll,
parent organization Of the Swedish
match enterprises, are insufficient to
meet obligations at this time caused
heavy selling of the bonds of the COM
pany and also Of its principal Ameri-
can subsidiary, the International Match
Co.
Kreuger 81 Toll common stock dipped
to another new low at rs cents a share,
rejecting loss for the day of 81 cents.
The preferred shares Of the Interna-
tional Match Co. reacted $1,75 a share
to q new low at 81 a share.
The Stockholm commissions state
ment recommended a moratorium on
all Kreuger s. Toll obligations falling
due at this time. The investigators
said the companys assets could not
now be liQuidated without severe loss
to bond and stockholders.
Strong exception was taken to this
point by Lee, Higginson & Co. repre-
senting American investors in the
Kreuger g. Toll enterprises.

SHOUSE DENOUNCES
HOOVER TAX BIAS
Accuses President of Inject
ing Partisanship Into Rev.
enue Dispute.

BY the Associated Press.
President Hoover was accused of in
jecting partisan bias into the tax dis
pute last night by Jouett Shouse. chair
man Of the Democratic National Execu-
tive Committee.
Speaking by radio. Shouse asserted
that after claiming credit for economic
reconstruction measures supported alike
by Democrats and Republicans. Mr.
Hoover had termed the tax bill now lJn-
der consideration a Democratic meas
ure. Any tax bill is bound to be un-
popular, he said.
Calls Statement Late.
Referring to the Presidents state
ment of Friday in which he expressed
plea for balanced budget, Shouse
criticized the Chief Executive for delay-
ing its issuance until after the House
had eliminated the sales tax provision
from the revenue bill
IF his statement had come two weeks
ago, before action had been taken by
the House of Representatives upon the
bill 1t would have helped those
who were trying to fight the battle for
a balanced budget" Shouse said Now
1t Is issued after the House has wrecked
the committee bill and after the leeis-
lative situation has been thrown into a
state Of such confusion and even chaos
that the outcome is difficult to pre-
dict"
Leading up to the partisanship
charge, the Democratic spokesman said
that while the Chamber of Commerce
OF the United States lis presumed to
be non-political" organization. it has
frequently been accused of speaking
Tor the Republican administration. He
then said that after the House had
eliminated the sales tax. Mr.. Hoover
chose to speak through that organiza-
tion's head.
Quotes Strawn Statement.
He quoted Silas Strawn as saving
after a conference with Mr.. Hoover
that the President was quite disap-
pointed" at the sales tax action and
pointed out many Republicans in the
House had gone along" on the sales
tax despite its being a Democratic
measure.
The country may censure some
Democrats for not following Demo-
cratic leaders in such a crisis" Shouse
said, but the country will not forget
that Mr.. Hoover's administration Gre
ated the present deficit, that Mr.. Hoo
vers administration and the Congress
OF his party when in power were un-
willing or unable to attempt to cope
with the situation, and that now Mr..
Hoover, when Democrats are trying to
do what his own administration should
nave done long ago, has sought at a
most threatening juncture in the fiscal
analrs OF the Government to inject
partisan bias into the public consid-
GRAFTON of a measure which has been
treated by Democratic congressional
leaders in spirit of broad-minded, pa
triotic service"
Shouse asserted the budget must be
balanced and that the people as a
whole must be willing to make any
sacrifice, however severe, to sustain the
credit Of our Government"
