 Teachers Were Trapped
 Earlier testimony was offered that Chicago's unpaid school teach CTS were trapped in the collapse of Samuel Insults Corporation Securi- ties company.
 Miss Olga Lovgren, teacher at the Lake View high school for 30 years, said that while the teachers were being paid in scrip, word was passed around that they could make a deal" with the Utilities Securities company.
 T went to the office of the com pany and talked with Mrs Emma J. Schmidt, a clerk" the teacher testified.
 "She told me that I could dis pose of my scrip there and get 20 per cent of it in cash if would apply the balance on Insull in- vestments."
 Mrs Schmidt told her, she said. that Corporation Securities was "our pet stock" and "every bit as good as Utilities Securities
 T bought it and of course I went down with the others" she testi- fled.
 The government charges that the stock of Corporation Securities was worthless when it was being of- fered to the public as "the jewels of the Insull empire" and that the company was insolvent 60 days after its organization. in October, 1929.

 aggressive action echoed President Roosevelt, who similarly told. the American Bankers Association last night that the time is ripe for an alliance of all forces" a
 Richberg's appeal came in 2 speech before the Bond club. He warned business that if they fail to accept his challenge "let there be no 'wailing at the wall if the government is forced to undertake further necessary work of recov- cry and reconstruction which pri- vate enterprise has shown itself unable or unwilling to perform"
 Richberg, after appraising New Deal recovery efforts said the is- sue which is ''clearly emerging" is:
 Will private enterprise under take now the great and necessary task of re-employing at least four or five million willing workers or must the federal government un- dertake to bring this about, either indirectly through underwriting private activities; or directly through the expansion of self liquidating public projects"
 t Cnaliengc 10 lnOuStry
 This indirect challenge to indus try and finance to take the leader ship in aiding the government to reduce expenditures in effect plac- ed responsibility for balancing of the national budget on private enterprise. he said.
 He referred to himself as a con- servative and made an ironic ap- praisal of radical enthusiasts playing the stock market in the boom days of the late 1920's.
 Richberg reviewed New Deal ac- complishments of the last IF months in urging business and finance to cooperate. He said the situation ''is well prepared for a great advance by trade and indus. try and 2 consequent reduction in Governmental activities and expen- ditures."
 The banking system. he said, 'is restored to health and public con- fidence." The income of workers has improved, the number of un- employed has declined, and debt pressure on individual citizens has been relieved, he continued.
 Thus he said there have been established the underlying me- chanisms and principals of a po- litical economic system wherein private enterprise can compete for individual profit and at the same time can cooperate to maintain a proper balance between the in- terests of agriculture, trade, indus try. management, labor and consu- mer.
 Foundation Is Hard
 "The foundations of such a system have been laid. If the pri- vate managers of our financial and business institutions are ready and willing to build new industrial structure upon these foundations now is their opportunity.
 Richberg said that economic prolress now "waits only upon that private initiative I. that has been the source of every previous econ- omic advance in the United States. The federal government how ever. he reminded. must continue to carry the relief burden, if in- dustry fails to respond. There should be no criticism in that event, he added.

New York. Oct 25 - (UP) -- Stocks declined today despite an improved sentiment in Wall street as ia result of President Roose- velt's conciliatory speech to the American Bankers as citation members last night.
 The speech was not considered a market factor. The selling was heaviest in rails, one utility stock. one railroad equipment, and a few special issues.
 The first and last hours were active. Tn the period between them the market moved erratically in rather light trading. At the outset large blocks appeared representing punched overnight orders. Rails held their gains fairly well and Q long list of issues made gains. I'm mediately thereafter rails declined and Consolidated Gas turned weak, unsettling the whole list. Late in the day selling broke out in Bald- win Locomotive following a crash or more than 10 points in it's bonds on the curb exchange on announce ment the compay had no more working capital.
  railroad shares had been over bought late yesterday on the court decision that the pension bill was unconstitutional. The recision, 1t was believed, would be carried to higher courts by the government.
 On that conclusion traders sold rails. New York and Southern Pacific were among the most ac- tive issues of the group. They gave up their advances of yester- day. Other rails were down 1 to more than points.
 Baldwin locomotive made 9 new low for the year near the close. Earlier in the session if had made a fairly good showing along with other railroad equip ments. The company had a net loss of $3.777,093 in the Septem- Der quarter.
 Consolidated Gas had consider able bad news to send it down nearly points to within a frac- tion of it's 1894 low. Its directors declared the same divident as in the proceeding, two quarters, but earnings were reported off sharp
