Georgetown Professors Move Balks
Deportation Threat.

d = HtAtA ftSS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. DIR.
Leonid Strakhovsky, self-made man
without a country for more than. a
decade, has become an American
citizen.
After fleeing Russia when the
Bolsheyiks took charge, DR.. Strak-
hovsky came to Georgetown univer-
sity, where he taught political his
tory and waited for the czaristS to
resume control Of Russia, so that
he could resume his old place as
scion Of a prominent white Russian
family.
His wait was in vain When the
Soviet government was recognized
by the United States, instead, he
was faced with deportation to his
homeland in disgrace as a political
offender. He scotched that threat
by applying for his second citizen
ship papers. Yesterday he becams
an American citizen.

there IS recovery IN spite OF our policy. Now, It IN
doubedly is true that uncertainty is bad for business
and that lasting recovery requires confidence in the
stability OF money. Nobody in his would argue
that is desirable to keep the markets guessing
what is going to be done with the dollar.
But what can, think be maintained with good
deal of force is that at the years end were nearer
to a sound monetary position than We were at the
beginning, that in spite of the bewilderment and the
speculation we have better money today than had

what we got was higher tariffs

you have to raise prices and revive
trade. For as long as prices are fall

Of j. 8. PROBE
BY EUGENE ]. CADOU
International News Service

Possibility of telephone rate re-
auctions for millions of subScrib-
ers doomed today as the newly
organized Federal Communications
Commission armed itself with a
big stick for regulation of the
telephone utilities.
The commission has ordered
some $500 telephone companies
to submit by September the
most exhaustive information con-
corning their operations in the
history of utility control.
Financing Probed
The Federal body also de-
manded additional data from all
companies whose gross operating
income exceeds $4,000 annually.
This information, which must be
presented by october /, will con-
Germ that previously mysterious
subiect-the financing OF the teIe
phone companies.
Original capitalization, sale OF
stock, agreements upon mergers
and other financial topics will be
discussed in the replies, according
to commission members.
FinancierS have been able to
garner huge profits through ma
nipulation of utility mergers, &C
cording to reports of the Fed
eral Trade Commission, which
have pointed out that the tele-
phone users eventually had to
pay the profits in the form OF
rates allowed on increased valua-
tons.

death was hanging on a spike in
his hut. DR.. Poulter said:

also had written us a note
which he had left on the table,

when we arrived"
