He laid the groundwork for the three

Gibson, speaking at the League of Ma

that President Hoover made the ges-
ture which resulted in the London

Friends of Gibson. however, say that
he was not surprised at his shift from

Nancy realized that few men were as

BY International News Service

Dy lnteTuHIlOnAl NeWb service
The Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee today issued
subpoenaS for the records Of
seven New York brokerage firms.
The subpoenas called for rec
ords of pools and trading ac-
counts. They were issued because
the New York Stock Exchange
declined to furnish the 'informa-
ton.
Ferdinand Pecora, committee
counsel, withheld the names of
the subpoenaed brokers, pending
service.
Cost Is Chief Objection
The questionnaire sent to the
stock exchange board for trans
initial to it's 1875 members
sought information relating to all
records of margin accounts, cash
accounts. joint trading accounts,
and pool accounts dating from
June, 1929 and from June, 1888.
The refusal of the stock ex-
change governors to comply with
the demand of the Senate COM
mittee, it was said, was based on
the allegation it would cost mil
lions of dollars to obtain the in
formation.
Pecora said he learned from
other sources the information
could be supplied by brokers for
little expense. He said he made
his decision after several days of
negotiating with Richard Whit
ney, president of the exchange,
and after the arrival of a letter
which declared the board had no
authority to call upon it's mem.
berS to fill out the questionnaire.
PecOra's Statement
Pecora's statement said, in
part:
"One of the grounds upon
which this decision was based
is the alleged expense that
would be incurred by the mem
bers in compiling the data. 1t
is claimed by Mr.. Whitney that
this expense would run into
millions of dollars.
Gas a result of informal in
quirieS which 1 have caused to
be made of representative ex-
change firms, 1 am led to
believe that the required data
could be compiled at very slight
expense and within two or three
weeks.
"The decision Of the govern
ing authorities leaves the com
mittee no alternative but to
exercise the subpoena process
upon exchange members and
thereby compel their attend
ance, as well as production of
their books and records before
the committee"

from Geneva until the European
nations decide their answer to
Germany'S withdrawal from the
League of Nations and the dis,

Fearful lest the situation in
Europe involve this country in
political entanglements which
might lead to another war. the
President has ordered the Amer

keep out of the conversations
which are to take place this week
between the statesmen of the for,

The purpose of these converse.
tions is to determine what steps

Geneva.
One of the primary purposes of
the conversations will be to de-
eide whether to convene the dis

hence or virtually abandon the
movement for disarmament by in,
definitely postponing the sched-

"My fellOw-cOuntrymen may
