STOCK HEARING
TRANSFER /. DENIED
Michael J.. Meehan Also Re.
fused Plea for Enlarged
Bill of Particulars.
By the Associated Press.

NAoSOS~dN~N =
Michael ]. Meehan, veteran Wall
Street operator, today was denied a
transfer from Washington to New
York of hearings on Securities Com
mission charges of illegal stock mar
ket manipulation.
Besides rejecting the request for q
change Of venue. the commission also
refused Meehan's plea for an enlarged
bill of particulars detailing the charges
against him.
The commission has alleged Meehan
drove the price of Bellanca Aircraft
Corp. stock up from about $3.50 to
$3.50 by matching orders. This means,
generally, that trader buys and sells
stock to himself in order to create an
appearance of activity.
Proof of the charges might lead to
Meehan's expulsion from the New
York Stock and Curb Exchanges and
the Chicago Board of Trade.
In denying the motions, the COM
mission said it would not change the
venue because the importance of the
case necessitated that the commits
sion itself attend many of the hearings
so as to pass on motions and otherwise
to maintain "close supervision at all
stages"
The commission asserted its bill OF
particulars gave all the detail required
by the act, and cited numerous au-
thorities in support of this opinion.
The hearing will be held in the COM
missions headquarters here at 10 am

What's What
Behind News

War Between Roosevelt
and Bankers Noisy
But Senseless.
BY PAUL MALLON.

DIX 1AOA ANAAA4A<04Ns
THE war between President Roose-
welt and the bankers seems to
be making more noise and less
Il sense. Headlines daily scream
Of shot and shell exchanged between
them. Mr.. Roosevelt implies In q
speech that at least a few Of them
were family foolish about the Federal
debt ceiling. Their reply is anony-
nous, but to the scathing effect that
the President might be a f1bber about
what they told him.
The bankers haze Gou. Eccles of
the Federal Reserve Board politely
at their contention. He starts talk
ing out of turn about the stock
market. His Advisory Committee
OF big bankers let slip Surrepti-
ttously to the press q report pdrn-
ing Eccles about his credit policy.
He shoots back Dith signed
story.
The casual onlooker will suspect
they are getting ready to sever each
others heads. The casualty list might
logically be expected to exceed that
of the tit-tat-toe conflict between Italy
and Ethiopia.
But at the height Of the battle, with
the publicity din terrific, the Treasury,
G. H. @. issues routine communique
to the effect that the enemy has over
subscribed by four times an increase Of
nearly a billion dollars of the Federal
debt which has caused all the fight
ing.
Obviously, Gen. Sherman was wrong.
War appears to be what you make it.

FOES OF new DEAL
IN INDUSTRY UNITE
1900 Leaders Pledge Joint
e Defense OF Rugged
IndividuaIism."
nr tha AssociatAd press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 6s--About
$500 of the Nations foremost indus
trialists were joined Today In opposi-
tion to the Roosevelt New Deal and
in a movement to defend the cause OF
'.rugged individualism.
Homeward bound from the 1885
Congress of American Industry and
the National Association Of Manufac-
turers' meeting, they were pledged to
q platform opposing the Governments
present economic and social policies.
Planks in Platform.
The platform, adopted yesterday at
the concluding session Of the groups,
called for:
/. The maintenance Of constitu-
tional guarantees.
2. Preservation of the freedom OF
enterprise.
8. Security through economic prog
ress.
r 4. Maintenance of sound tax and
financial policies.
In adopting the platform for 1885
without a dissenting voice, the indus
trialists took the view that:
American business recognizes the
necessity for change in methods and
procedure-its success has been built
upon such recognition. But it protests
blind experimentation and nasty leg
islation which undermines the Amer
ican system and ignores America S
brilliant record Of accomplishment,
without conclusive evidence Of neces-
sity for change or the effectiveness OF
the means proposed
= Constitution Adherence Urged.
The platform asserted that conf
dence cannot be restored or main
tanned when Government officials and
legislators endeavor to avoid
by technicalities the true intent OF
constitutional guarantees"
It also criticized Government spend
ing, and said: IF the Government s
efforts to substitute its planning for
the individual enterprise system are
pursued, private enterprise cannot be
revived and again be able to give en-
ployment to those seeking successful
occupation"

"A The communication from Gov. Nice
said the arresting officers had been

In making the announcement at his
press conference today, Hull called at
tention to the diplomatic immunity
enjoyed by foreign representatives in
all countries, but said this privilege
imposes upon all the obligation of OBJ
serving the laws and regulations of
the countries to which they are ac-

der and inquisitiveness for their first
scenes in 1.-THE Country Doctor" Mr..
and Mrs. Olivia Dionne talk bitterly
of the fllm- making as they sit around
the hot stove in the kitchen of their
frame farm house 100 yards away.
A flood Of quick French from the
mother of the most famous babies in
the world answers an inquirer's ques-
tions.
"She says she'd like to see the chill
dren making the movie, but won't go
over, because we might be photo
graphed," Mr.. Dionne interpets.
This objection to being photo
graphed without monetary return Is
uppermost in the minds of the father
and mother. They seem jealous Of the
substantial sums of money which
camera rights, both press and movie,
have brought to the quintuplets'
trust fund.-
what do you think of your babies
appearing in this motion picture?'
they were asked.
I'VE don't think much Of It," said
Mr.. Dionne. I'VE think it may injure
their health"
But Or. Dafoe is there to see they
are not overtired."
'Dr. Dafoe," repeated the father,
scornfully. "what does he care? We
aren't satisfied about it. And, anyway,
who is going to take the parts Of their
father and mother? Look at this
