To protect themselves, the natives

PECORA FINDS

BEAT TAX
Stock Swaps Manipulated by
Dillon, Read Man to "EIimi-

BY International News Service


A new system for reducing
tax liabilities, through the ere.
alton of Canadian corpora
ton, was revealed at the Sen.
ate banking inquiry today by
James P. Forrestal, a vice
president in Dillon, Read & Co.
Forrestal told of creating a
Canadian corporation to which
he gave 10000 shares of U. S
& Foreign Securities Corporation
stock in 1929. This corporation
sold most of the stock for 1896,
41O.65 which is still held in its
treasury.
Forrestal frankly admitted
forming the Canadian corpora
ton which he eontrollen
through a Delaware corporation
because of the tax advantages.
He told of paying 100000 in
Federal and State taxes in 1929
"but I don't think I paid any
thing since"
Missing Witness Found
Howard C. Hopson, executive
head of the Associated Gas and
Electric Company, a long missing
witness, reported at Pecora's Of
flee. Pecora planned to put him
on the winess stand later today
to learn why he could not be
found for four weeks.
AS the hearing started, Pecora
said he had not heard from the
New York Stock Exchange in the
dispute over answering a ques-
tionnaire. He has threatened to
subpoena all the records of the
exchange if its officials refuse to
answer the questions, which dealt
with pools and joint accounts.
Forrestal told first of receiving
$1,000 shares of the U. S. & For
eign stock in 1924. He then Gre
ated the two corporations, on ad-
vice of counsel, and turned over
10000 shares to the Canadian cor
poration. He said:

Of the U. S. and Foreign stock
to the Beekman Corporation,
Ltd, ON July 3, 1929, and $4,000
shares on August 10, 1929"
He said he received no con-
sideration for the shares.

Flight

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Oct. 13 Il.
N.S0 Six naval planes which re-
Gently completed a flight from
the Canal Zone to San Diego will
attempt a nonstop hop to Homo
lulu the first week in December
as the first leg of a proposed
round world flight, Interna-
tional News Service was informed
today in an unofficial but au-
thoritative naval statement.
Although Rear Admiral A. w.
johnson has declined to verify the
report of the proposed nonstop
flight to Honolulu, he said he
hoped such a flight could be &C.
complished and by Navy fliers.
Upon the success of the Homo

fliers will continue on around the

A feature of the contemplated
flight across the Pacific will be
the part scheduled to be played
by the dirigible Macon. Accord

will act as a liason ship for the

THEY DODGE
. ISSUE, NAZ|S
: DECLARE:
Hindenburg Talks With Hitler
As World Impasse OF Grave
Import Impends

BERLIN, Oct. 13 GN.S.),
Germany loosed a verbal bar
rage today against refusal of
Great Britain, France, and the
United States to grant her
permission to rearm.
Following an hours conference
between Chancellor Adolf Hitler
and Rudolph Nadolny, disarma-
ment delegate who sped here
from Geneva by plane, a semi
official announcement charged
the former allies with breaking
their solemn pledge to extend
armament equality to the Reich.
The statement said the situa-
tion arising from the disarma-
ment impasse is most serious"
Accused Of "tDOdging"
It stated the allied powers
had failed to live up to their
promise to permit Germany arms
equality, given in 1882, and it
accused them of "dodging" the
disarmament issue.
Allied charges that Germany
desires to rearm are false, the
statement said, contending that
creation of a militia by the
Reich did not constitute arms
equality.
Claims Called Modest
The semi-official announcement
also called German arms claims
modest" It said:
ut is nonsense to grant Ger
many four years to transform
the Reichswehr without her
being granted adequate arn1a-
m0ntS.
Germany has proven her pa
tience and goodwill since 1919
and now believes it is up to
the other powers to live up to
their obligations to disarm.
Concessions consisting Of
abolition of gas warfare and
prohibition of air lombard
ment are SO insignificant and
poor that they fail to impress
the world"
All German officialdom was
tense with expectancy regarding
the outcome of the disarmament
tangle following President Paul
Won Hindenburg's arrival in
Berlin to enter the discussions.
Hindenburg Arrives
With an international impaSse,
fraught with grave consequences,
impending if the negotiations
break down, the octogenarian
German PRESIDENT came here to
confer with Chancellor Hitler
and other high officials and
decide what Germany's next step
will be at Geneva.
Upon the decision hangs the
question of whether Germany
will abandon the disarmament
conference, thus virtually wreck
ing hopes of an arms accord
even before the parley gets really
under way, or whether the Reich
will continue conversations in a
fight for equality of arms with
other European nations.
