KUHN & LOEB
ACEPROBE
JUNE 26
Senate Subcommittee Votes
to Go Ahead With Bank
Activity Inquiry

The Senate Banking Com
mittee's sensational investiga-
tions into the workings Of the
great finance houses of the
Nation will be resumed June
26, with Kuhn, Loeb and Com
pany the subject of the inquiry.
The seven-man subcommittee
conducting the inquiries voted
unanimously today to begin work
again in spite of the summer
weather.
It is probable the investigation
Of the Kuhn, Loeb & Co. will
wind up the committees summer
work.
Otto Kahn SubpOenaed
Authority was obtained today
by Ferdinand Pecora, committee
counsel, to proceed with a SINH
lar investigation into Dillon,
Read g. Co., and the committee
might decide to undertake this,
too.
Otto Kahn, head of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., and two other part
ners, have been subpoenaed to
appear. If the committee de-
cides to continue with the Dillon,
Read investigation, Clarence Dill
lon, head of the firm, will appear
as the first witness. Several
other Dillon, Read partners have
been served subpoenaes, too.
The Kuhn, Loeb and Dillon, Read
inquiries will be conducted along
lines similar to the investigation
of the great international bank
ing firm of J. P. Morgan & Co.,
just completed. Pecora will bring
out the general operating picture
of the big banking firms. show
ing how, through it's many rami-
fications, its influence extends far
beyond the banking field.
Set-Up Like MOrgans
Kuhn-Loeb's organization is
more nearly similar to that Of
J. P. Morgan & Co. than Dillon,
Read. Dillon. Read is what
Pecora termed joint member
ship firm. He described it as
halfway between a partnership
and a corporation.
There is a chance that the
Chase National Bank of New
York and it's investment affiliate,
the Chase Securities Corpora
tion, may come under the COM
mittee's scrutiny, but this was
regarded as remote.
There was no opposition to the
proposal to reopen the hearings
on June 26. Committee members
expressed the belief they would
have a better chance to present
evidence during the absence of
Congress. The committee can
work uninterrupted.
Pecora announced the Kuhn,
Loeb 81 Co., investigation would
require about 10 days.

Beer Demand
Fell Off Here
Last Month

Thirsty Washingtonians drank
nearly 1904 barrels of beer in
May.
This was revealed by the office
of the tax assessor today which,
with all reports in, showed the
May beer tax-at dollar a bar
rel-amounted to $15,603.86, of
which amount, according to Col
lector Chatham M. Towers, $14,-
1875 is already collected.
The tax is at the same rate,
whether beer is sold by the bar
rel or the case-that is, it is at
the barrel rate, which comes to
about 8 cents a case. This ac-
counts for the fractional figure.
May sales were proportionately
a little below those for April,
though reports for April totaled
only $14,195.29. Beer did not go
on sale, however, until April z.
Had it been on sale for the full
month, the total presumably would
have been about $4,000.

NEW YORK, June 13 GN.SO.
The dollar again fluctuated
wildly in highly nervous trading
on the local foreign exchange
market today and early strength
disappeared as the session wore
on.

300 JEWS SLAIN;
NAZ|S BLAMED

NEW YORK. June 13 Q.N.SO.
Three hundred outright killings
of Jews and at least 5000 cases
of serious molestation were
charged against the Nazi govern
ment today by Michael Williams,
semi-official investigator for the
American Committee on Religious
Right and Minorities when he
arrived on the Conte de Savoia
from a tour of Germany.
Williams, editor of Common
veal" and president Of the Cal
vert Associates, is member of
the committee and was appointed
to make a first hand investiga-
ton of the alleged prosecutions
of Jews in Germany.
After first pointing out that
the visit of the committee was
postponed, that he went to Ger
many as a private individual, and
that his opinions in no way rep
resented that of the committee,
williams presented the results of
his Investigations. Then he
added:

are concerned, those in a posi-
tion to knOw-and by these l

have agreed that in spite of

ing which were quickly proven
false and in spite of tremen-

continues to be a persecution
of Jews. In extent it probably
eurpasses any recorded instance
of persecution in Jewish his

RAIL STRENGTH
AIDS STOCKS

NEW YORK, June 13 qN.SO
The rails came to the rescue OF
a sagging stock market today
and turned a threatened shake
out into a brisk rally.
Squirting one to nearly seven
points under a flood of buying
which unexpectedly came into
the group shortly after midday,
the rails turned the whole list
upward and helped wipe out
early losses of one to three
points.
Scores of new highs were es-
tablished as American Telephone
wiped out a three-point decline
to go to a new 1888 peak.
A bullish influence was the
reprt from Washington that the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton may make $4,000, 600
loan to Russia to buy cotton.
This was taken as a forerunner
OF the establishment OF CONNER
cial relations between this coun-
try and the Soviets.
This development offset ad-
verse news from washington on
a new adjournment deadlock.
The clouds over the London eco
nomic conference and the de-
cisin of Britain on her war debt
payment Thursday.
The market started weak un-
der heavy wave of profitrtak-
ing induced by the unfavorable
news. Support appeared quickly
and the list showed resistance to
further decline. Early weak"
ness in commodities added to the
nervousness in speculative circles.

A formidable fight to send
The $3,3OO,OOO,0OO industrial

amendments might be restored
was waged today by Senate
insurgents.
This fight overshadowed for
the time being several other
major controversies between the
Administration and a rebelliouS
Congress, which threatened to
prolong the special session to
the end of the week.
Senator Borah (R.) Of Idaho
demanded that his amendment

DR.. Arthur Gordon Miller,
Sc, of the 5000 block Thirteenth

trite young man and not at all
like the wildcat tanner he was
last Sunday.
DR.. Miller was charged with
taking property without right
and with being drunk after he
took an ocelot from the Wash
ington Zoo and strangled it to
death.
Upon recommendation of Assis-
tant United States Attorney Mil

against the physician were con-
tinued until June % so that the
defendant may receive hospital
treatment.
Fears Lockjaw
DR.. Miller pleaded not guilty
to the charges.
With his right arm slung un-
der his coat, DR.. Miller said
he was fearful of lockjaw and
added that he as going to
Gallinger Hospital to receive a
treatment of serum.
His hands and arms were
badly scratched and bitten.
DR.. Miller, who weighs less
than 14O pounds, said. he did not
know exactly why he took the
animal from it's cage other than
because he had been drinking.
He said:
Il guess it was just a case
of drinking Wildcat And, OF
course, 1 had to pick out a
wildcat as a pet"
DR.. Miller, who is employed at
an establishment for aged women,
said he had been going to the ZOO
for a number Of years and knew
most of the keepers there. HIS
story of the theft of the wild ami
NAL follows:
zone of the keepers and my
self began drinking some of the
stuff Sunday afternoon. We
walked to the cage of the ocelot
and the keeper told me it was
a very ferOciOus animal. Then
I said to him:
""Well, he might be pretty
nasty, but I bet you 1 can take
him ont of there
"Well, I then took a clothes
pin from the lock and opened
the cage door. 1t was too small
for me to climb in so I reached
in, grabbed the animal by the
throat. He began scratching
and cIawing, but I held on to
him and got in my car"
Feared for Others
DR.. Miller said he did not know
where he was going with the
animal, but he later discovered
that he had plenty on his hands.
He said he was driving the car
with one hand and holding the
animal with the other, and at one
point the beast fought itself loose.
DR., Miller continued:
"When the animal got loose
he jumped at me and knew
then I had to do something to
protect my life. I also realized
that it would never do for that
animal to get loose in Wash
ingtOn. So, grabbed it by the
throat and began choking him."
DR.. Miller said he then drove to
the home of a colored doctor on
Eleventh Street Northwest. He
said the reason for going there
was to determine whether the
