MARKET Chief
DENIES RAIDS
New York Stock Exchange
Head Tells Senators
Practice Is Banned.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Rich-
ard Whitney, president of the New
York Stock Exchange, testified for
two hours today before a senate
committee, defending short selling
and denying that bear raiding is
practiced on the exchange he repre-
Sented.
Whitney was Subpenaed last week
as the chief witness in the senate's
BLACK Saturday" investigation. The
investigation grew from reports that
billion dollar bear raid was pro-
! jected for last Saturday on the New
York exchange.
He admitted that Senator Fred
eric c. Walcott (Rep., Comm had
told him of a report of a plan to
raid United States Steel, but he de-
MED any other knowledge of such a
scheme.
Wash Sales Denied
He also told the committee:
That "120,000,000 people" and not
the New York Stock Exchange led
the market boom which preceded
the 1929 collapse.
That wash sales" by which
brokers sell to themselves to boom
the market were not INDUCED in on
the New York market.
That the boom reached too great
heights, but that he believes ''the
public now is trying to give this
United States of ours away"
That the wartime Liberty bond
campaigns taught the people to
buy stocks and securities.
Market Dives Lower
During the hearing telegram
was placed before the committee,
believed to have come from a
George B. Baker" and thought to
have been the original message
telling Senator Walcott that BLACK
Saturday" schemes were under way
It was withheld by the committee
While Whitney testified before a
crowded hearing room, smoke-flled
and Stuffy, word was passed from
the press table to the committee
that in New York the market was
being driven down and down to new
low records. Senators scanned the
information gravely.
Attack Called Unfair
Whitney explained to the COM
mittee that he could not furnish
the detailed information it wanted
on short selling before Friday. He
said it required ITS clerks and hun-
dreds of wired reports to compile it
Witney's testimony largely was
either noncommittal or a defense OF
market operations. The general
tone of his testimony was sum-
married. when he said:
There were terrific earnings in
1929 and from 1926 to 1929 all bust
ness was on an imitation basis ]
do not think it is fair to arraigr
the stock market alone"

- liked equally well by boys and
girls who attended his public
school.
He wore a mustache clipped
close. 1t looked as if the shears
were used on it daily. The last
time I saw him, in 1926, he was
slightly bent and aging. 1t
seemed a shame, for he was so
straight before and so much in

ming.

KEEP THIS IN MIND

AS especially pertinent to
this article, we desire to repeat
an editorial which appeared in
this newspaper on April 8. 1t
said:
In all our consideration of
this whole subject of veterans
relief, let us bear this in mind:
THAT the amount of money
that any government can pro-
vide necessarily is limited; and
that therefore every dollar
paid to a veteran who is not in
need is dollar denied to the
veteran who is in need. -

 The girl snatcbed her cap from her head and shook n glistening shower of drops from her short bronze -colOred hair. Then she walk ed away and passe dthr0ugh the reading room and breakfast room out onto the covered terrace be- side the lake. At this hour of deep eninR twilight 1t was silent and de- serted, and the tables where coffee had been served in the afternoon were all forsaken. The girl went to the telescope whichr-as in front of most of the Frauensee houses = was mounted on revolving stand. It was pointing upward as If to discern the white peak of the Iron Tooth behind the. rain clouds. With an impatient movement the girl di- rected the lens onto the lake. whose surface was no dashed by the squall into turbulence of dark water and white crests of foam. There she stood motionless with one eye to the telescope until everything was lost to sight in darkness and storm.

Children Need Aid This Summer
 Welfare societies representing the generosity Of the people fin our cities and counties have done an unbelievable amount of work in the past two years.
 They have worked late and long and, in spite of some opinion to the contrary, in most cases without tho slightest remuneration for terrific burden of work.
 Too often the minimizing have hinted at bonuses. It must be re- membered ath no activity can be carried on without some overhead. Even the peddier on the curb has to have cart and paper bags. And these welfare societies are no curbstone affairs. I believe the enormity of the work carried on by relief societies would absolutely amaze the uninitiate.
 They do not advertise. The Good Samaritan never does. And in this eulogy I am not forgetting the citizens who have made this humane work possible. They have contributed until 1t not only hurts, but has caused need in some cases in their own homes.
 Don't Walt for Winter.
 Then, too, l am in the humor of defense. Money is now gone. sup plies are "out" and families who were given food and help through the winter months have not re- ceived their supplies lately. The blame has often been directed at these orga nizatlons for misman- agemcnt. Such cases have been too negligible to mention.
 When money Is gone 1t is gone and the dispensing agents can do no more.

Perhaps 1t was q client. Or m old friend. Even a relative. It didn't matter. All of sudden, to Sue, nothing was important excep: the fact that Jack was there, and not with her. She started to think of all the unpleasantnesses of the morning. They rose up like reg ular avalanche and she couldn't throw them off. It didn't do any good to tell herself that 1t was all her own fault--that Jack had done nothing. She was injured Hurt Wronged. And she wanted to get even.
 She caught her breath at that thought. It seemed so impossible that she should want to get even with Jack. She adored him. He had done nothing to make her feel badly. It was her own fault! But the fact that 1t was annoyed her even more.
 She glanced around the room. Jack and the strange woman had been seated several tables away. Jacks back was to her. But she couldn't see the womans face either. She hoped that she was h0mely and old.

 So ran Herr Bfrndps discourse. punctuated at appropriate points by murmurs of astonishment and applause from the hall-porter. For some minutes, too, a young girl in q drenched raincoat. who had wandered into the hall from out side, had been listening. She had brown eyes and wore round cap like those worn by French Alpine troops. and from beneath the cap her light brown hair. ruffled by the wind. blew across her face.
