CHANGES IN FIRMS
Slow Up MARKET
Traders Take to SideIines
Until New Brokerage
Stats Are Known.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, December l1.-Nu-
merous year-end changes in banking
and brokerage firms, rather than a
change in business prospects over the
next few months, account for the dull
ness of security markets these days.
A trader does not like to operate in
house whooc partnership is on the
verge Of br+aking up. He does not
like to show favoritism, but he wants
to be assured of good service. Which
of the new f1rms will be able to offer
him the best facilities? That ques-
ton can be answered only when he
knows the makeup Of new firms.
Many traders are taking temporarily
to the sidelines, as news items from
travel Offices indicate. Then, too, the
average trader is looking for some
fresh market stimulus. He is tired Of
trying to chart a market trend, for
share markets, taken as a whole, have
showed virtually no trends this year.
The work of the Securities and Ex-
CIldAl6C may AO
ing the size of market swings. When
a stock gets active the S. E. c. watches
it closely, because activity invariably
attracts public following. The pro-
fessional trader does not want CON-
pany, preferring business solitude, un-
til he wants to realize profits.
A Washington reader informs us
that the Treasury is sympathetic with
the plight of brokers who lost foreign
accounts because Of profit taxes on
transactions here. The problem Of
permitting foreign business to be tax
free presents difficulties. If foreign
accounts are not to be taxed. what
would prevent some large American
operators from doing all their trad
ing through Canada? That question
has Treasury officials stumped. They
don't see how they can class Europe
as foreign and Canada as domestic,
and yet Canada's geographical posi-
ton affords American traders certain
advantages if they wish to escape
taxes.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 1l.-Ar-
rangements have been made for the
sale OF q New York Stock Exchange
membership for $95,000, an advance
of $4,000 over the last transaction.
The gain represented in this sale
Is the largest price spread between
transactions since last May, when
three seats were sold in one day, one
at Sl25,000, which was a decline of
$4,000 from the previous transaction,
another for $4,000 and still another
at 100000.
From that period until August 20
the transactions were made between
$95,o00 and s105, 900, and progressive
declines carried the price to $4,000
on October 80. which was the low
Of the year and was the last sale
prior to the one reported today. On
January 81 a membership was sold
for $4,000, which represented the
high Of the year.
The advance in seat values was at
tributed to the moderate improvement
in Stock Exchange business during
the last six weeks.

TO LICENSE
OF FRUITMEN

WASHINGTON, June %. U.P) -
Three amendments to the license for
shippers of fresh California decidu-
Gus tree fruits were approved today
by Henry A. Wallace, secretary of
agriculture. They affect all such
California fruits except apples.
Officials said the amendments
brought the license in line with pro-
visions included in marketing agree
ments drafted since its effective
date. The first alteration will enable
the proration committee to verify
reports on quantities of different
varieties of fruits available for ship
ment. The second advances the
double deduction for excess ship
ments during one proration period
from the second succeeding period
to the first succeeding period. Post
ponement to the second period, it
was pointed out, was found to have
resulted in arrangement of the ship
ping program.
The third amendment grants gen.
eral powers of immunity to the sup
ervisory committee and is considered
important in protecting liability of
individual members of the control
committee.

RADICAL NAZI
LEADER GOES
ON WARPATH'

BERLIN, June %. U.P) - Paul
Joseph Gcebbels, minister of pro-
paganda was on the offensive today
as representative of the Nazi radi-
Gals against the conservative ele-
ment in the country for whom
Franz Won Papen, vice chancellor,
is spokesman.
With Chancellor Adolf Hitler
worried over a threatened cabinet
split over the radical
fight, Goebbels went to Neukoelln
last night and in a characteristic
speech continued his drive against
grumblerS' which reused Papen
to protest.
"Our critics" Goebbels said,
chad lots of opportunities to seize
power between the 1918 revolution
and last year. But no crown prince,
no capitalist seriously attempted
to eliminate the Socialists"
Germany. he said, by withdraw
ing from the League of Nations and
disarmament conference, put an
end to "emetic' international con-
ferences. He did not regard the re-
cent -MuSsolini conference as
an international one, apparently,
for he said that was more valuable
than half a dozen international
ones.

POLICE HOLD
PODERJAY ON
DEATH COUNT

VIENNA, June %. U.P)-Police
have placed charge of suspected
murder against Ivan Poderjay in
connection with the disappearance
of Miss Agnes Tufverson, New York
and Detroit lawyer, they announced
today.
Mile. Margaret Ferrand, arrested
with Poderjay, was charged with
suspicion of being an accomplice
after the fact.
The suspicion of murder charge
against Poderjay is in addition to
that of bigamy put against him
when New York police asked for
his detention. Mile. Ferrand also
is charged with bigamy.
Poderjay and Mile. Ferrand are
now under the jurisdiction of the
court of investigation, which in
Austria decides whether charge
is justified and returns an indict-
ment if one is indicated.
Another woman of mystery
there apparently have been many
in Poderjay's life - visited police
headquarters today.
She told police she was a COM
panion of Poderjay 10 years ago,
when he was in the electric and
plumbing fixture business in Vien-
ma. She declared she only wanted
to testify to his good character,
police said.

Nine Los Angeles and Beverly Hills
business men, charged with $1O,-
100000 insurance swindle by federal
Sagents, today denied any guilt af-
ter having been placed under ar

The men, officials of the National
Security Life association, with head
quarters in Beverly Hills, were ar
rested following secret indictment
by the federal grand jury which

no time more than $1O000,OOO worth
of business.
Post office inspectors declared
that the company officials came
here from Chicago and started in
business under various names.

the creation of tuberculosis free
areas for dairy cattle, with the ul-
innate goal of a tuberculosis free
county,
DR.. Fox pointed out that in other
communities where there had been
a tuberculosis "clean up" there
had invariably followed a definite
decrease in tuberculosis cases and
death rates. He stated, however,
that it should not be forgotten that
local market or bottled milk deliv-
cred to the home or purchased in
stores in this county, had been pro-
duced from tuberculin tested herds
for some years past.
Relative to the value of the tu-
berculin test he pointed out that
on May 2, 1882 he submitted a
brief on "The Importance and Re-
liability of the Tuberculin Test" to
the board of supervisors, the orr
ginal copy being on file with the
county clerk. In the foreward to
this brief the statements will be
found Today it is universally ac-
knowledged that the tuberculin
test is unqualifiedly reliable and
plays an extremely important part
in the prevention and eradication of
tuberculosis, not only in dairy cat
tie but also in the human race"
DR.. Fox stated his views on this
matter have not changed. He said
that federal and state public health
department and department of ag-
riculture officials as we'll as local
health authorities, national, state
and local tuberculosis association
leaders, had for years emphasized
the Importance of tuberculosis
eradication in dairy cows, hogs, and
