CONSIDER
SAFE STOCK LAW
Senators, Ending kreuger In
quiry, Hear Suggested
Public Protection.
By the Associated Press.

Protection for the American investing
public from such financial debacles as
the Kreuger & Toll collapse was seri-
ously considered today by the Senate
Banking Committee.
Completing its inquiry into the affairs
OF Ivar Kreuger, international financier,
who committed suicide in Paris, the
committee members turned to a sug-
gesticn that legislation be enacted to
require all companies offering securities
for public sale to submit their books to
outside auditors.
The suggestions came from Frank
Altschul, chairman OF the Stock List
Committee of the New York Stock Elk
change, and was well received by the
group Of Senators.
insult Inquiry Next.
The committee, making o sweeping
investigation of stock market practices,
also gave attention today to Its next
subject-failure of the gigantic insult
public utility group. Investigators have
been working for months ON the insult
case. but it Is not quite ready for pres
entation,
Altschul, appearing yesterday at the
close of the Kreuger S5 Toll hearing,
said the Stock Exchange has required
all new companies listing securities to
submit to independent audits, but added
there were difficulties in the way of ap-
plying this rule to all companies already
listed on the Exchange.
Law Personally Favored.
He said he personally favored legisla-
tion to require such an audit of any
company seeking to raise funds from
the public.
Most Of the stocks listed have been
audited, Altschul said, but between 40
and 25 per cent have not. He did not
name those which have not submitted,
but indicated the list included some big
companies.
The Krcuger collapse in Sweden and
the insult failure in this country have
emphasized in the view of some mem-
bers OF the committee the need for such
auditing. Chairman Norbeck indicated
he was impressed with Altschul's rec
ommendation.

COUCH SAYS R. T. c.
is AIDING THOUSANDS
Declares Use of Money in Rural
Areas for Work Relief Is Most
Satisfactory Plan.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press,
Work has been given to thousands of
men and business conditions have been
bettered in many communities through
relief loans granted by the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation, Harvey
Couch, a director of the corporation
declared in an address here last night
under sponsorship Of the American Le-
gion National Employment Commis-
sion.
Mr.. Couch outlined to members of
the commission, who are seeking to
stimulate employment, the steps which
have been taken TO provide relief for
the needy.
"In the metropolitan centers." he
said. 'the relief money frequently is
portioned out to families in destitute
circumstances without any demand
whatever being made on them In the
less thickly settled communities the
money is used for what is termed work
relief
"The latter plan is far more salts
factory and Is more generally followed
If conditions permit. Reconstruction
Finance Corporation money is being
used in many States to put men to
work cleaning up vacant lots, dressing
up parks, repairing streets and other
odds and ends of rehabilitation, which
normally. would not be attended to.
Men who really want to work are
far happier receiving even small wage
and working only few hours per week
than receiving dole from the Gov
ernment"

which Mr.. Roosevelt faces. They are
not concerned especially over the selec-
ton of Secretary OF State, or even OF
a Secretary Of the Treasury. ConserVa-
tive Democrats in those offices would
not be frowned upon particularly. But
II the President-elect appoints an At
torney General of conservative leanings.
It will be just too bad, the progressiyes
say.
Great Problems Loom.
There are great questions Of public
policy relating to water power, the
utilities and combinations of industry
and wealth that are bound to come up
for consideration in the early future"
said one progressive Senator today.
These questions will come in legal
form before the Department OF Justice
and if its head is inclined to side with
the power interests rather than with
the people, 1t will be most dlsap-
pointing"
II the prcgressives on the one hand
are prepared to fight for a progressive
Attorney General, the conservatives ana
the power interests on the other are
no less determined that the President
elect shall pick man to their liking
to head the Department OF Justice.
1t looks as though Mr.. Roosevelt would
be pulled and hauled vigorously In
this matter of the selection OF an At
torney General, unless he takes the
bull by the horns and settles the mat
ter to his own satisfaction without con-
sulting either side.
While it has generally been reported
that Mr. Roosevelt would like TO have
Senator Walsh of Montana III his cab
met as Attorney General, or even as
Secretary of State, 1t IS exceedingly
doubtful that Senator Walsh can be
prevailed upon to accept appointment,
according TO his friends. His long serv-
ice in the Senate and his independence
incline him to retain his senatorial
posities,, +,ley say.
In M sure, this contest for a
progressive in the office of Attorney
General is a mere continuance-or q
new beginning-of the fight over water
power and the utilities. II the Presi-
dent-elect is firm in his own policies
regarding these problems and progress
sive 1t may make little difference
actually whether a conservative or O
progressive is selected to head the De-
partinent of Justice, But the progres'
sives believe that in the intricacie'
of departmental administration 1t woule
be far better to have one OF their owl
kind and leanings at the head OF thu
legal department.
