5 STRAUS CASE
DATAS0UGHT

The Securities and Exchange
Commission announced yesterday
that it has sent to California for
additional witnesses to complete
its hearing on the default of five
hundred millions of S. w. Straus
and Company bonds.
Leigh M. Battson, husband of
the former Mrs. F. H. Doheny and
senior vice president of S. w.
Straus and Company of California,
will take the stand today to ex.
plain why fifty-four millions Of
the ninty-eight millions Of real
estate bonds sold by his firm are
now in default.
Letters received by SEC from
holders of these bonds charge the
company organized bondholders'
protective committees not so much
to protect investors in the default
ed bonds as to make a profit for
itself in these transactions.
Company officers replied that
they organized the committees be-
cause of their familiarity with the
properties involved. They say
their representatives served with
out remuneration.
BattSon will be asked to show
what profits, if any, his firm made
from the plans to salvage the
savings of California investors
who had purchased the company's
bonds.

quests since its first performance No
vember l. There is nothing in
Sibelius' mighty symphony that leads
one to contemplation of the spiritual,
but rather Qualification of nature
in both the earth and humanity. Mr..
Sibelius' music reflects the grandeur
OF towering mountain peaks, rugged
and massive; mountain streams, rush.
ing with power and speed to their
destination, and the sentiments of
people whose lives are dominated by
the boldnesS of nature.
The music swings through wide
spaces and touches the limits OF every
dimension. 1t is rough and dramatic
and even in the singing melody of the
second movement can be likened to
a glorious sunrise outlining the Jagged
edges OF a vast mountain range
Sibelius speaks of things that we have
covered with the veneer of civilization
but for him there are no inhibitions
and he writes of people of the soil and
their emotions. 1t is powerful music
and good to hear after the delicacy
and intellectually that has increas-
lngly colored the music of today. The
orchestra read it nobly and all in the
audience responded to its vitality and
dramatic impressiveness.
The delicate and charming music
which Delibes included in his suite
from lie Roi s'amuse." which was
the third number of the orchestral
program, was soon forgotten and over
Swallowed by the stirring work of
Sibelius. The entire program, includ-
ing the unexpected soloist, was in

"Plenty of time for the boys, my dear
Be your dads girl just little longer"
You could in some instances I'M
derstand his antipathy. For exam
pie, 1t would have been hard to
welcome Glenn Wilson into the
family after he had backed his car
into the rosebush that Mr.. Clegg
had brought all the way from his
mothers garden in the old country.
It was only adding insult to injury
when Glenn offered to buy him
another "just like it,"
Then there was Harold, who had
wiped his greasy hands on Daisy's
guest towel, and that red-headed fell
low that had run out of gas on a
country road. Kathleen had come
home from that ride like Cinderella
after the clock struck-save that her
coach turned into farmers truck
full of cucumber pickles.
No, it was small wonder that Tom
Clegg had no patience with them or
their cars.
When Kathleen met Lee LOOMS
she admitted to herself that it was
going to be worse than ever, because
this time she had really fallen in
love. She hated to deceive her father,
but secret meetings became the rule.
True, Lee begged permission to face
the monster, but Kathleen implored
him not to. Not just yet, anyhow.
Only one night a week did Lee call
for Kathleen at her home. That was
Tuesday, when the Tired Business
Mems Bowling Association met. Then
her father would not be home until
late, and Daisy, her mother, would
never betray her.
One Tuesday in July Lee appeared
at the door in old trousers and a
sweater.
Surprise, Kay!" he said, waving his
hand toward two bicycles leaning
against the fence.
"Why, Lee! WHAT"
Rented 'em for the evening. You'll
like it when you get the hang Of it."
Hastily Kathleen changed into

were off.
