Dodge told how the bankers
divided a 100000 profit on an
original commitment of 100000
900 within a few weeks in 1929.
The Chase Securities Corp. and
Albert H. Virgins Sherman Corp.
participated in the original group.
Fox Is SubpOenaed
This first venture of the bank
ers in G.. T. E. proved profitable.
Later, they suffered severe losses
when Wiggin used the corpora
ton for a battle on William Fox,
movie magnate. Fox was sub
poenaed to appear Thursday to
tell his side of the story.
Dodge revealed how the orig1-
nal banking group committed it
self for $1,000 shares Of the G.
r. E. stock at $40 share on
July 9. Nine days later a pur-
chasing syndi ate was organized
among private banking firms to
take over this stock at $25 a
share, for sale to the public at
$32. All the stock was unloaded
on the public. In recent months
it has sold around SO a share.
Made Quick Profit
The original banking group
comprised West & Co., Pynchon

He Favored Secrecy
Dodge didn't think the balance
sheet was left out because it
might disclose the water in this
stock. and at the same time
thought it was fair to conceal
this information. Asked if he
still thought so, he said:
Il think the general feeling
now is that more disclosures
should be made"
He declared investment brokers

Manipulation Charged
The original purchasing group
tied Harley L. Clarke the Chi
cago utilities operator under a
written agreement dated July 9,
1929, not to sell his own General

stock "in such a manner that it
will reach the public's hands"
The agreement was effective for
six months. Pecora said:
"This was so you could ma

it on to the public at a higher
price"
Dodge retorted:
"The security dealers we're
entitled to protection. We

The "Reichstagbrand" declares that
all the attendants in the Reichstag
building swore at the preliminary
hearing that on the day of the fire
no person with the slightest resemb-
lance to Marinus van der Lubbe
passed the doors of the Reichstag.
Van der Lubbe is the man found
at the scene of the fire, without a
shirt, but carrying a forged member
ship book of the Dutch Communist
Party, who is charged with being
the one who actually set the blaze.
If he did not pass the Reichstag
doors, the only way he could have
been found within the building
would be for him to have entered
through the private passage from the
home of the president of the Reichs-
tag, who at that time was Goering.
This passage is known to have al
ways been guarded by Nazi guards.
The Hitler government has care
fully guarded this evidence until now.

ricaded in the barber shop of Sc

as well as four other Communists
were wounded by bullets. In Santi-

out the country, the demonstrations
were attacked by the thugs of the
butcher Machado, wounding partici-
pants, beating, crushing and mas
sacring the masses.

While Machado and his lieutenants,
following the instructions of Welles
himself who interviewed Herrera for
this purpose, are concentrating the
police and army in order to commit
even greater crimes; and while the

structing Machado to let loose his
machine guns and NOV down the

burst from the blood sucked from the

order to hurl confusion into the ranks
of the masses.

which only yesterday lent them
selves to songs of praise of the glories
of the butcher Machado, concealing
his crimes, and concealing also the
