study Of recent testimony before
the Senate Banking Committee to de-
termine If it reveals any law viola
tions subject to criminal prosecution,
was initiated today by the Justice De-
partment.
Copies Of the testimony relating to
'the operations Of various banking
utility and investment security houses"
were requested yesterday by Attorney
General Mitchell.
This was made known as the commit
tee received evidence that the National
City Bank Of New York, forbidden by
law to deal in its own securities, ad-
vanced credit for the purchase of its
own stock through brokerage house
Insult Companies Prebed.
In the past few days the investiga-
tors also inquired at length into the
collapse of various insult companies,
bringing into the testimony various
New York and Chicago banks and Hal
sey, Stuart and Co., Chicago investment
house.
Meanwhile, in New York. George z.
Medalie, United States attorney. asked
Washington authorities for copies OF
the 1929 income tax return Of Charles
E. Mitchell, chairman Of the National
City Bank.
The investigation was launched as a
result of the bankers testimony before
the Senate Committee that In order to
avoid paying an income tax In that
year he sold stock in his bank to rela-
tive at loss of nearly $2,800,000. He
said he repurchased the securities
later.

tee there were bear raids and market
manipulations on the New York mar
ket.

Closely following the evidence on the
stock sales Of the National City Bank

his contention that his pending bank
reform bill should be passed. Among

ing banks and security afnnates.
A move also was on to continue the
investigation through next season.
Authority for this was requested by
Senator Costigan, Democrat, of Colo
RADIO. Unless otherwise provided, the
inquiry will end on March 4.
Violation of the banking laws has
been suggested frequently during the
National City inquiry by Ferdinand Pc
cora, counsel for the Banking Commit

the committee an opinion prepared in
1911 by Frederick w. Lehman, then
Solicitor General, holding that fornla-

Appointments in Doubt.

Until then, he said, nothing could be
made known concerning the many ap-
pointments to diplomatic posts and to
important positions under him at the
State Department.
Out of the maze Of speculation con-
corning possible appointments, the Sc
lection of Robert w. Bingham, Louis
vile publisher, as Ambassador to Lon
don has emerged with the most Ger
tainty.
The speculative quest for other pos
sibilities for key positions was stirred
yesterday by disclosure that Hull had
conferred with Bernard M. Baruch,
New York financier; Mrs. Ruth Bryan
Owen, Representative from Florida, who
has been mentioned as minister to
Denmark Representative Ewin Davis
of Tennessee, and Huston Thompson
of Colorado.
There were reports, without con-
hrmation, that Baruch definitely would
not head the American delegation to the
world economic conference in London
this Summer. His name had been men,
tioned speculatively in that connection.
