of dollars in tax payments.

Joint committee would meet tomorrow
to organize and determine procedure,

ton Wednesday and probably ask
Secretary Morgsnthau to be the first
witness.

appointed these members of the Ways
and Means Committee to the investi-
eating body:
Representatives Cullen of New York,
Vinson of Kentucky, Cooper of Ten

week by Vice President Garner, are
Chairman Harrison of the Finance
Committee, and Senators King Of
Utah, George of Georgia, Walsh Of
Massachusetts, Democrats, and La
Toilette of Wisconsin, Progressive,
and Capper of Kansas, Republican.
Doughton is expected to be named

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

A million and a half youths will

rolling in institutions for vocational
education in the coming few weeks.
A half century ago witnessed the
beginning in universities and col

There soon followed courses in man

Last year more than half million
youths attended classes in Federal
ly-aided schools and received in
structions in trade and Industrial
subjects.
Civilization has come long way
since parents apprenticed their chill

trades. How lucky Il was that the
arrangement of George Washington's
uncle to apprentice the boy to tin
ker in England was vetoed by the
mother of the eleven-year-old boy
who had just lost his father. How
things have changed since braking/

REGULATING SECURITY
TRADING

The regulations governing the
trading and listing of securities on
our principal security exchanges,
such as the New York Stock Ex-
change, are constantly in a state of

preparing new ones as conditions
may make them necessary. There
are two reasons for this policy:
First and foremost is the wish to
give the investor, small or large. The

the stock exchange, like the officials
of the SEC, are opposed to manipu-
latiOn, Misrepresentation and any
and all kinds of chicanery. II is not
an exaggeration to say that every
financial scandal of late years has
found its reflection in new rulings
designed to make, repetition impOss-
ible.
