BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october 2l.-Richard
Whitney. president of the New York
Stock Exchange, today characterized
as "unjustified" . statement credited
to Ferdinand Pecora, counsel to the
Senate Banking and Currency Commit
tee, to the effect that Whitney refused
to cooperate with the committee In
its Stock Exchange inquiry.
he took exception to the following re-
mark in the newspapers this morning
attributed to Pecora:
II see no further occasion for inv1t-
ing the cooperation Of Richard Whit
ney, president Of the New York Stock
Exchange. We invited his cooperation
and did not get it."
Rights Of Exchange Members.
This statement is entirely unjusti-
fed" said Whitney. Mr.. Pecora
sought to have the Exchange compel
its members to answer his question
naire. This would have deprived the
members Of the Exchange Of the right
to assert, If they saw fit, that the in
formation required Of them was not
proper or relevant to the pending in
vestigation. The Exchange obviously
could not deprive its members OF this
right, which is one given to every citi-
zen by the Constitution of the United
States.
AT the hearing yesterday Mr.. Pecora
sought to make it appear that the Ex-
change had even refused to send the
QUESTIONABLE to its members with a
recommendation that they answer 1t
voluntarily. There was nothing In Mr..
Pecora'S letter to me to indicate that
any such procedure was contemplated
and In fact the suggestion that the
answers be made voluntary was first
publicly made by Senator Fletcher. the
chairman of the Banking and Cur
rency Committee, at the hearing held
yesterday In Washington.
When I read the transcript OF the
minutes containing Senator Fletcher's
suggestion I Immediately wrote to him
that the Exchange would adopt 1t.
Revision Of Questionnaire.
''I am advised that the QUESTIONABLE
Is being further revised and materially
modified as a result Of conferences
held yesterday afternoon between mem
berS of Mr.. Pecora's stad and repre-
sentative members of the Exchange
who had been subpoenaed TO appear In
Washington.
II have written Senator Fletcher that
when the new QUESTIONABLE Is agreed
upon, the Exchange will send the re-
viSed QUESTIONABLE to its members with
recommendation that they answer 1t.
if that is the wish of the Senate COM
mittee.''
The tilt between Whitney and Pecora
started shortly after the original QueS-
tionnaire was submitted to the Ex-
change.

HARRISBURG. Pa, October 21.-
The Interstate conference called to dis
cuss uniform State laws to regulate the

adjourned suddenly today, abandoning
efforts to get representatives OF II
States to agree on the same standards.
The representatives named by Legis-

ton. They held group conferences at
which neighboring States were repre-
sented and finally adjourned eight
hours ahead of schedule
The principal result of the two-day
session was unanimous decision that
the interest of taxpayers and private
automobile owners is paramount" in
regulating truck dimensions and that
the present tendency" is toward
shorter and lighter commercial We
hicleS.
Agreement on uniform maxim,!ssf..
length and weight limits for trucks and

Practically the biggest surprise In

unsuspecting citizens who showed up

the other paraphernalia which some

The boys and girls who stood idly
tapping their heels in the lobby, to the
tune Of no music at all, were at first
incredulous, but finally accepted the
fact they had been sold lemon by
a promoter who failed even to leave
his laundry mark for Identification.
Finally the manager, out OF sympa-

If the victims could find an orchestra,
