NORBECK ROUSED
BY PROBE CHARGE
Welcomes Investigation of
Committee in "Stock Ex-
change WhiteWashing."

BY the Associated Press.
Charges that the Senate Banking
Committee is "wliitewashing" the Stock
Exchange and demand that the COM
mittee itself be investigated, left its
chairman, Senator Norbeck of South
Dakota, belligerently welcoming such an
inquiry.
David A. Olson, q committee investi-
gator, resigned in protest at what he
claimed Were tactics designed in gen.
eral to uphold Wall Street practices as
unblameworthy.
The call for an investigation of the
committees conduct CT the inquiry
came from a group named the New
tee. an organization not connected
with the Stock Exchange and little
known IN the financial district.
Offers Cooperation.
Norbeck told inquirers he would
cooperate with the Reform" Com
mittee If it sought fuller inquiry into
stock market transactions.
Norbeck said he had not received
copy of the letter from the Reform"
Il don't know whether those who
claim to be reformers actually are re-
formers" he said, but en- suspicious.
because so many things have been
thrown in our way lately
But If these people seek a fuller in
vestigation, certainly want to help
them. I will welcome an investigation,
and If they are earnestly seeking to get
a fuller investigation of the Stock Ex-
change, I want to cooperate with them
in every way can"
Norbeck said he had heard Of the
Reform Committee but did not know
much about its membership.
Olson Held Inaccurate.
In his statement on Olson, who, he
said. had demanded large fees" Nor
beck expressed confidence the resigna-
ton would be promptly accepted by
the committee and went on:
"Mr. Olson forElerly was employed by
a large tax, accounting firm and it was
originally hoped his services would be
very useful to the committee. These
hopes have not been realized.
Mr.. Olson's tendency TO exaggerate
and his inaccuracy as to facts have
largely offset the value of his other
services.
'The first case he brought in was
one of a large corporation.
The fraud claimed was based on a
contract between the officers and the
company
Mr.. Olson claimed to have obtained
this very secretly and with great diff

DR.. -Sarmon said he was Violently
opposed" to the custom of young ath-

athletic meets without proper prepara-

schoolboy athletes often leads to serious
heart impairments in later years. he
declared.
Watch the blood pressure. especially
after 80, DR.. Harmon advised. Blood
pressure, he said, is an important indi-
Gator of the general health condition
The daily grind" worry and overeat-
ing are among contributing causes of
increased blood pressure, with nicotine
ana caffeine playing some part also.

cadet showing to two companies from
each school This limitation, he said.
was placed by Col. James NJ Lockett.
U. S. A., who has charge of the first
division, of which the cadets will be a
part.
The result of the limitation has been
a strong demand by virtually every
cadet in the city that he and his Or

The boys Of the corps have looked for
ward throughout their cadet career to
participation in the inaugural. and now
nearly two-thirds Of them will be dis
appointed.

to protest. even though he personally
believed the limitation unjust.

The cadets were invited to partici-
pate in the parade January 26, when
COL Edwin NJ. Watson. chairman of
the Parade Committee Of the Inaugural
Committee, wrote to DR.. Kramer At
that time he invited DR.. Kramer to
advise Col Lockett the number of cadets

would plan to use. Subsequently. in a
conference between Col Lockett and
Col. Wallace M. Craigie. U. s. A., pro-
fessor of military science and tactics
in the public schools, Col. Lockett ex-
planned that there was desire on the
part of the Parade Committee to keep
