HARDWARE co.
SALES FORCE
CELEBRA TES

Sales executives and the high
scoring statesmen of the 1. v. Hard
ware company's recent radio sale,
met at dinner in the Barbara
Worth hotel last night to celebrate
the greatest Majestic radio selling
achievement since 1929. Warren
Currier, sales manager of the hard
ware firm, presided.
Reports were read from the fac
tories in Chicago which stated that
Majestic manufacturers had re-
corded their fourth consecutive
monthly increase in radio ship
ments. In September over $1,000
Majestic radios were shipped to
dealers and their daily shipments
SO far in October were averaging
$500 sets per day, one report stated
The present number of untitled
orders is $4,000 radios, which is the
highest total since 1880, according
to eroy Williams, vice president and
general manager of the Grigsby-
Grunow company, Majestic manu-
facturers. Williams attributed the
demand for Majestic radios to the
remarkable improvement in per-
Torrance and the radical changes
in cabinet styles which are decid-
edly modernistic.
The success of the MIRA program
has also contributed to Majestic s
phenomenal success this year, ii
was further stated, as the Grigsby-
GrunoW company was one of the
first radio manufacturers to join
the President IS unemployment
agreement last August.
During last night IS meeting Cur
rier stated that the local firm Is
recent homecoming sale was the
most successful in recent years
showing a substantial increase ir
volume over last year while prices
were approximately Is per cent
lower than a year ago.
Reports from the various store
managers in Imperial and Yuma
valleys indicated still greater sue
cesses for the balance of this year
About 81 statesmen attended the
meeting.

Assault on State Probe;
AnSeII HotIy Accused

A row between Senator Huey P.
Long, Louisiana "Kingfish," and
the Senate Campaign Investigat-
ing Committee over it's inquiry in
the Bayou State today threatened
to upset the Senate'S legislative
program.
Appropriation bills, an urgent
revision of the Federal bankruptcy
statutes, and modification Of the
Volstead act were caught behind
Longs fight to block an addi-
tional $4,000 appropriation for
the Louisiana inquiry.
Long Accuses AnSelI

used the inquiry into the election
of Senator ELECT John H. Overton
merely to blacken regulations.
Two appropriation bills, carry
ing funds for independent Fed

were caught behind Longs fight.
So was the act which would
liberalize the bankruptcy laws
and provide relief for farmers

Senator Robinson D0 of Ar

The election row also delayed
consideration of the beer bill.
Bipartisan leaders were ready to
call it up as soon as the appro-

Mitchell Denies His Bank
Flouted Reserve Board

of the National City Bank of
New York.
Ferdinand Pecora, committee
council, sought a full explana-
ton of the tactics of the Ma
tional City Bank when, in March,
1929, it threw $16,000,000 into
the call money market after
warning by the Federal Reserve
Board against speculation.
Defends Bank Action
Mitchell, when questioned
about the action generally, de-
Tended it as a means to avert a
money panic. He denied it had
the effect of multiplying the action
of the Reserve Board in raising
the rediscount rate.
He said the bank regarded the
reserve board action as a warn
ing against the use of Federal re-
serve money for speculation pur-
poses, and added that his bank
was not at the time using Federal
reserve money.
Pecora called attention to the
fact that the National City move
had been interpreted as tending
to "nullify" and "flaunt" the re-
serve boards action. Said Mitch
ell:
"That 1 deny. / know it was
interpreted in that way, but our
only thought was to avert a
money panic. We loaned money
to brokers and firms which had
to have funds to care for the
days obligations. Money was
tight at the time"
The witness frankly conceded
that banking and stock market
regulations could be improved. He
said he would approve of sys-
tenn similar to that in England,
especially that phase providing
fuller publicity concerning pro
posed stock issues.
Mitchell Well Paid
Mitchell was to be asked to go
into the details of bank and other
finance house actions behind the
scenes of the falling markets of
1929. Committee members sought
a complete picture of the far
flung operations Of banking
houses and their varied affiliates.
They questioned Mitchell closely
regarding the stock issues offered
for sale by the National City
Company, affiliate of the National
City Bank.
Testimony has brought out that
Mitchell as head of the National
City Bank and National City Com
pany received nearly $3,500,000
for his services during the period
1927-28-29. Most of this, he re-
vealed, came from a manage
ment fund" set up by the officers
Of the bank.

that his death would be the sur
