ATTACK ON LUTHER /

Statement Follows Inter

sador'S Call on Hull.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
An official State Department express
sion of concern at public attack on
an accredited Ambassador to the United
States failed last night to stop the at
tacker.
DR.. Hans Luther, German AmbaSsa-
dor, was accused in a speech by Samuel
Untermyer. New York attorney, of hav-
ing spent German funds in this country
for NaZi propaganda. Luther went to
the State Department yesterday and
denied it, whereupon Secretary Hull ex-
pressed his concern"
Later Untermyer remarked 1t Is well
nigh incredible that DR.. Luther Is so
naive as not to know what is going on
in this country in the way Of far-f1ung,
country wide Nazi propaganda"
He expressed an expectation that the
forthcoming investigation by the House
Immigration Committee will develop

Charge Against Luther.
Untermyer. in a Cleveland speech
Wednesday before the American League
for Defense of Jewish Rights, was re-
ported to have called DR.. Luther lone
"
dists" and to have said Germany had
allotted 5000 600 to propaganda, most
of which was being spread in the United
States.
In his reply last night, the noted at
torney also declared this is not our
first experience in the history of rela-
ti0ns between the two countries when
they were at peace and strange things
"Br. Luther may recall" he contin-
Ued, that Capt. Boyd, Capt. Won
Papen and Dr. Albert all of whom at
then Ambassador from Austria, were
invited summarily TO leave the country
because of their abuse of our hoSpi-
tality.'
U. S. Statement Given.
DR.. Luther saw Hull early in the day
He declined to disclose the subject OF
the conference and when asked by re-
porters to comment on Untermyer's
speech only threw up his hands and
shook his head. Several hours later the
State Department issued this statement:
The German Ambassador called on
the Secretary of State this morning
I'LL " plcao lcpOllS VI a
speech made by Mr. Samuel Inter
myer at Cleveland Wednesday. Mr.. Un-
termyer is quoted as having declared
that DR.. Hans Luther is 'masquerading
as the German Ambassador and is 'one
of the most destructive of propaganda
lists
Also he is alleged to have stated
money allocated to propaganda by the
German government was being spent in
the United States. impliedly through the
German Ambassador.
DIR. Luther denied this latter allie
cation. The Secretary expressed his
satisfaction at the Ambassadors state
ment, thanked him for bringing the
matter to the Departments attention
and expressed his concern that an Am
bassador accredited to the Government
of the United States should be subjected
to public attack of this nature"

Senate investigators directed their
attention today to what they described
as real insiders s35,000.O00 pool

thur Cutten, Albert H Wiggin and
others reaped a $4,000 900 profit In

to Jail for refusing 10 answer the
questions Of another Senate Investi-
eating Committee, and Cutten, whose
fame as trader is world wide, will be
Subpoenaed to appear next week, when
the inquiry Is resumed, to tell about
the pool.
Wiggin Story Incomplete.
The Senate Stock Market Committee
decided to call them after trying for
three days to get the story from Albert
H. Wiggin. former chairman of the
Chase National Bank, who realized
profits of nearly 81 ,0O0. 900 by partici-
pating in the pool through one Of his
personal corporations.
After yesterdays hearing the inquiry
was recessed until next Wednesday
when the committee will resume ques-
tioning of Wiggin.
Wiggin described the operation of
the committee as an underwriting syn
dicate, but Ferdinand Pecora, commit
tee counsel, characterized it as "an
outstanding example of a real insiders
pool and announced his determine
tlcn to get more facts,
Inc committee wanted 10 inuuire
particularly into evidence that Sinclair,
chairman of the board of the Sinclair
Consolidated Oil Co., whose stock was
traded in the pool, was sold 10000
shares at cost aside from his profits of
about So 900 900 in the operation itself
Curiously enough the pool was dis
solved just few days before Sinclair
went TO jail for contempt Of the Senate
Committee investigating the Teapot
Dome oil scandals.
Pools Formed in 1928.
Formed in October, 1923, the pools
acquired 10000 shares of stock from
the oil company at $50 a share and
by April. 1929, had made profits Of
sl2,000000. A side pool. operated BY
the same participants, had profits Of
about half million by a month later.
Cutten, Sinclair and Blair g. Co. Of
New York, each had one-fourth inter-
est in the two accounts. The Chase
Securities Co. had a one-sixth interest,
and Wiggin's corporation a one-twelfth
interest.
Wiggin granted a subparticipation to
several key officers of the Chase Sc
curlties Corporation, who were instru-
mental in turning some of the Chase
security offerings over to the Wiggin
family company.

BANK ED|CT UPHELD
BY DISTRICT JUDGE
Roosevelt Proclamation Of
March 6 Is Legal,
Court Asserts.

President Roosevelt's proclamation of
March g. which closed the country's
banks, has beeff declared legal by
Justice F. D. Let's of the District Su-
preme Court.
The decision was made last week in
the case OF DAILY Brothers. Inc. who had
asked that Thomas P Hickman, con-
servator OF the Franklin National Bank,
be compelled to deliver TO them certain
bonds in his POSSESSION.
The plaintiffs claimed that on Febru-
ary 28 they presented at the bank a
certificate of deposit in the sum of S25,-
896. requesting that the bank, in lieu
of payment. buy $4,000 worth Of Lib
erty Loan bonds for them The bank
accepted and indorsed the certificate
unoer the agreement to buy the bonds
and pay over the balance after purchase
to the plaintiffs
On March l3 the Franklin Bank
purchased the bonds through the Chase
National Bank of New York. The bonds
were received in the local bank on the
morning Of March IA. and at pm.
that day the conServator for the Frank
lin Bank was appointed. In asking
that Hickman be compelled to deliver
the bonds to them the plaintiffs ad
vanced the theory that the transaction
was completed prior to the appointment
of the conservator and thus vested in
them the property rights in the bonds.
In dismiSsing their suit Justice Let's
held that the bank was officially closed
on March 6 and that the transaction
could not be considered as completed
before appointment Of the conservator
since the bank had no authority to do
business after the Presidents proclama-
ton Justice Let's said:
The court thinks the Chase National
Bank had no more right to pay out
money of the Franklin National Bank
on March 13 than the Franklin Ma
tional Bank had to expelid its own
funds To hold otherwise would nullify
the Presidents proclamation and defeat
its obvious and lawful purpose"
