NEW YORK, Feb. 20. - The
Metropolis of New York, usually a
rowdy city of uneven temper and
frantic routine, was chilled into I'M
precedented inactivity and snowy
discomfort today by the worst
blizzard of modern times.
Seven millions persons felt the
effects of the storm.
Half a million commuters were
stranded.
Hundreds of thousands were hours
late to work.
New York's central shopping dis
trict was snowbound, strangely
quiet-swept by fierce furries OF
snow. Trains crawled at a slow
jerking pace over elevated tracks
requiring two and three times the
usual time necessary for normal
runs.
Long Island railroad service, on
which many thousands depend, was
entirely halted. Automobiles, fes-
TONED with deep layers Of wet snow
ploughed slowly through drifts that
were as high as their wheels.
Telephone service throughout the
suburbs was disrupted for several
hours. Milk deliveries were hours
late. Some schools were closed. All
others announced that no one would
be marked absent today.

Van sweringens, Wiggin-questioned
by Mr.. Pecora.
They and others told the whole
sorry story of the boom era. The
committee delved into the opera
lions of Dillon, Read & Co., Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., the Chase Securities
Company, and learned how men use
the money of others to build up
fortunes for themselves and their
friends by strange devices called
pools and syndicates and joint &C
counts.
It went behind the doors of closed
banks in Detroit and Cleveland
and people found out why they had
lost their savings.
The senate investigation, which
became SO hot that there were re-
peated attempts to stop it, was
carried to the end by the force and
determination of Chairman Duncan
u. Fletcher Dem., Fla).
It showed clearly enough what
had to be done. With President
Roosevelt's backing, committees of
house and senate wrote their bills.
Compromises were made. But a
strong bill emerged and was swept
through congress by an aroused
public opinion.
1t outlaws all sorts of manipula-
tive devices. 1t regulates short
selling, which so plagued Mr..
Hoover. 1t fixes requirements for
margins so that it no longer will be
possible for the little fellow to get
into the market on a shoestring. 1t
requires corporations, whose stocks
are listed on the stock exchange, to
tell the truth about the condition
of their business through regular
financial reports. 1t prevents banks
and corporations from pouring
money into the stock market for
speculation as they did in 1928 and
1929.
Among the strongest supporters
of stock market regulation are
many who believe that while this
measure is a good step in itself, it
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-06-08

is neither perfect nor enough. AS
congress has learned time and
again, practically every law has
loopholes in it. Undoubtedly, some
will be found in this.
More, as amendatory legislation
becomes necessary, the stock market
regulation bill will have to be
strengthened here and there.
Thus, this with the securities act,
constitutes an important step to-
ward financial reform.
But other steps will have to be
taken.

PECORA PROBE
! LAID BASISFOR
+. MARKETS BILL
Public Opinion, Shocked by
Disclosures, Insisted on
Rigid Control.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, June By the
simple act of writing his name
across the bottom of the engrossed
copy of the Fletcher Rayburn stock
market bill, President Roosevelt
brought to an end one of the most
dramatic, fascinating and fruitful
stories in American legislative his
tory.
It winds back over two years to
the Hoover administration where =
all started; runs in chapter after
chapter through long days in a
senate committee room; sketches
graphically the fall of 1nanci~l
giants; depicts the loot of banks
and industries; portrays, so that all
should know, that delirious era
when people gambled their money
and other peoples money-on
that great roulette wheel in Wall
Street.
The bill which President Roose-
velt signed endeavors to make the
stock exchanges market places and
not gambling houses.
Vivid to the End
The story was vivid to the end,
for to the very last the great
financial overlords still fought with
their money and their influence to
prevent what congress believes is
effective reform.
Properly, the last act was .1er-
formed by Franklin D. Roosevelt,
who challenged the powers boldly
in his campaign and pledged him
self to drive the money changers
from the temple
Herbert Hoover made no such
pledge. but he had some part in
this reform.
This goes back to the dark days
in February, 1882, when the stock
market tumbled lower and lower.
Angered and alarmed, Mr.. Hoover
called a group of senators of the
senate banking and currency COM
rnittee to his office = Chairna.
Peter Norbeck Rep., S. d., Sena-
tor Daniel o. Hastings (Rep., Deb,
and Senator Frederic c. Walcott
(Rep., Conn.,. The President told
of his suspicious of ''bear raids" ~
the stock market. He wanted an
investigation. Senator H $3.50 S
| drafted a resolution.
Started With Pecora
On March 4, just a year before
Mr.. Hoover left office, the senate
passed the resolution.
It got nowhere until a pugna-
cious, persistent Italian American
lawyer, Ferdinand A. Pecora, came
along. Wall Street had heard Of
him then. Now it knows him too
we'll.
Meanwhile, the Democratic party
at Chicago had gone on record for
legislation to regulate the stock
market.
1t was not until March Is, 1888,
q few days after Mr.. Roosevelt
took office, that Mr.. Pecora was
chosen counsel of the senate bank
ing committee to continue the in
vestigation.
With all the Solemnlty OF a court
of Impeachment, he opened the in
vestigation on May % with j. P.
Morgan, himself, in the witness
chair.
Midget Incident Recalled
The public laughed when a circus
publicity man. lifted up a female
midget and placed her securely on
the great Morgan knee. But the
public was shocked with the Nor
gan admission that he had paid no
income tax for three years.
Just as amazing testimony came

cial giants Whitney, Kuhn, the

August 17.-International war
fare over O 36-hole battlefield
- was the program today as the
four survivors Of the big start
ing field In the Canadian amateur
golf championship met in the semi
finals matches.
Canada and the United States each
had two survivors and the draw pitted
them against one another. In one
match Albert (Scotty) Campbell, the
defending champion from Seattle, en-
countered Ernie Palmer of winnipeg.
In the other and probably more i'm
portant clash Jesse Guilford Of Bos-
ton met c. Ross (Sandy) Somerville.
Both Guilford. the veteran Boston
"seige" gun, and Somerville, the only
Canadian who ever won the United
States amateur title, are rated as
players Of top ranking.
Campbell, who just breezed into the
last four with a 6-and-5 victory over
Fred Hoblitzel of Toronto, was strong
ly favored to reach the final. His op-
ponent, Palmer, did not encounter any
f1rst-rank opponents on his way to

Pelham was so thoroughly improved

dead on the track after the race. Sev-

horse thoughtfully in the hoof to en-
phasize his deadness.

If left to his own devices. Spectacles
like this are not good for the racing
