COTTON TAX IS DUE
TREASURY TUESDAY
Thousands of Workers Check :

Il Next Tuesday i national inventory

Il The processing tax Of AZ cents .
bound on lint cotton becomes effective
then and the inventory is to determine
how much is due the Treasury.
Il The levy not only applies to those
who convert the cotton from its raw
State to the finished product. but also
on stock on hand chiefly composed OF
able frock. Retailers, however, have 80
days in which to dispose Of stocks on
hand. But If they fail to get rid OF
Ehem in that period they have to pay
YAK on those remaining.
y On August / also the levy OF ~ q
pound becomes effective on all imports
Of cotton goods. This is to prevent
foreign manufacturers and dealers from
gaining an advantage through the
higher cost Of domestic product.
\ While thousands of employees are
busy checking cotton goods on hand,
ahe farm adjustment administration
will be holding hearings to decide
whether to apply the AZ tax on goods
tration was given this power so cotton
would not be put at an undue disad-
vantage with competing products as q
result of higher costs from the tax.
Manufacturers Of rayon, silk, linen,
jute, wool and other fabrics have been
summoned to appear for hearing be-
fore farm administration onicials to-
morrow
ss If there is evidence that cotton
manufacturers will be handicapped
unless a tax Is placed on the competing
material, 1t will be applied.
Administration officials asserted, how
ever, that thorough inquiries would
be made to prevent injustice to
the competing fabrics. It's applica-
ton to one would not necessarily mean
that it would be needed for all.
Z Wool manufacturers have argued
Xhat the "a cents a pound tariff on
wool ensures a price spread between
wool and cotton goods that makes any
additional tax on wool unnecessary.

Despite wide unfavorable reaction TO

they lost on their stock purchases.

FULLER TO OPPOSE

Announces for Governor in
Comment on Naming of

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, June Former Gov. Al
van T. Fuller last night announced
his candidacy for Governor of Massa-
chusetts at the next election on being
asked to comment on reports from
Washington that Lieut.. Gov. Gaspar G.
Bacon's name was mentioned in the
Morgan inquiry.
"I have always considered GaSpar
Bacon as an ultra conservative, one
who stood for special privilege" Fuller's
statement said. 1.-The Republican party
cannot win with such a candidate.
can win and I can render a service
to my fellow citizens by standing, as
always have, for rigid economy and
the enforcement of all laws without
fear or favor"
AS Governor during the Sacco-Van-
zetti case in 1927, Fuller attracted Ma
tion-wide and international attention.
When told yesterday that the name
selected customers of the banking firm
of j. P. Morgan, as disclosed by SEN
atorial inquiry, the Lieutenant Gov
ernor had no comment to make.
However, he said it had been the
custom of his family for great many
years to seek investment advice from
j. P. Morgan & Co. He said his father
was once a partner in the firm and
that his brother-in-law, George Whit
ney, now was partner as well as CO.
trustee of his mothers estate.
He said that in January, 1929, he
and Whitney had invested family trust
funds in 1,400 units of United Corpora
ton at $75 per unit, "the price at
which the units were then offered"
The trustees still hold as an invest
ment all the stocks then purchased"
he asserted. 1.-THE market price of
these units today is $44 per unit"

ferred purchaser, but as a borrower
from the Morgan firm while Ambas-
sador at London.
Senator Costigan came in then with
an observation on the power of such
prominent men to influence public
opinion, an idea which Whitney said
did not impress him because 'they
must be of some prominence to have
the financial capacity to take the risk"
"Risk" Challenged.
The word risk" was quickly chal-
lenged by Senators pointing to the
much higher market quotations imme-
diately the stocks appeared on the
markets.
Whenever he could get in between
the senatorial questions, Pecora wound
through the intricate stock deals that
led to formation of the United Cor
poration, but he never reached his
climax.
He developed from cross-examining
Whitney that in December, 1928, Nor
ban bought from the General Electric
Co. stock in the Mohawk Hudson
Power Co. for S23,000,000 that had q
market value of S26,000,000.
The sale was consummated, Whitney
said. through a memorandum signed
the deal. on the basis of verbal offer
by the General Electric earlier in the
year. BY the time Morgan paid, in
January, the value of the securities had
reached $35,533, ,260.
When the day was over, Pecora had
shown the Morgan firm in forming
United Corporation turned over to it
$62 ,000, 900 worth of securities and $10,-
100000 in cash for 100000 shares Of
preference stock, 100000 shares of
common and 1,714,200 option warrants
to buy common stock at $2750.
The Morgan house sold the prefer
ence stock and 100000 shares of the
common to associate companies and a
selected list of clients for $45 100000,
and 100000 option warrants for So, AGO.
900.
Whitney testified the option war
rants. which the firm acquired for 81
each. were sold for from $40 to SAG
and agreed that. mathematically, his
firm at that rate could have realized
S68.000,000 on those it retained.
No disposition had been shown Of the
remaining 100000 shares of common
stock, which at one time reached a
price on the market of S73 share.
In the third list of special clients
revealed yesterday as having been sold
units of United stock for SIS that were
quoted on the market little later at

agent, Miss Lya Graf-who has seen 81
years, but grown hardly mite-gave a
real circus touch to the investigation
scene. Senator Glass, complaining
against past procedure, said it was like
circus.
Tiny Miss Lya headed through the
crowd for the Morgan group, while it
waited for the hearing to begin, shook
hands with several and then walked to
the dignified head Of the firm.
Laughing, he rose, took her hand and
sat down again. Then Unexpectedly
the press agent placed the midget on
the bankers lap. Morgan looked nom
plussed, but submitted gracefully at the
start. Soon his face became stern as
pictures were taken.
Notified quickly Of the incident, the
Senate committee warned photographers
that If the photographs we're used, those
taking them would be barred from
future hearings.
Before Miss Graf was placed on his
lap, Morgan chatrec amiably with her.
Where do you live?" he inquired.
"In tent, sir" she replied.
Morgan told the midget that he had
a grandson bigger than you are"
He asked her age and she said 400"
He commented that she didn't look
it.
Later Miss Graf gave her age as 81
After once being on the bankers lap,
the midget slid slowly down and then
climbed back. Spectators roared with
laughter; and before long Morgan also
was in good humor, again chatting with
his partners.
The circus agent finally piloted the
dimunitive Miss Graf away.
"Oh, yes, like Mr.. Morgan" she
squeaked as she left to rejoin her circus
comrades.
Chairman Fletcher Of the committee
made public appeal against publica-
tion of the photographs.
while the committee was in execu-
tive session." he said, ct understand
that some photographers made a pic
ture here Of Mr.. Morgan with a midget
in his lap, or something of the sort.
II ask the newspapers not to publish
such pictures. 1t is an imposition on
Mr.. Morgan. I consider it a shame
and an outrage. I appeal that these
pictures not be published"
There was a quick outbreak of ap-
plause and Morgan nodded and smiled.
