leading book sellers had deliberately
tried to sabotage" the work.
He declined to name the book SELL

"Macy's ordered so sets right off the

partment store refused to order the

their customers began asking for it.
however. they had to start ordering
at SIS set instead of the publicat ton

much"
Mr.. Cert emphasized he was by no
means dissatisfied with the sale of
the five-volume work. which was issued
on April %. despite the apparent re-
luctance of some dealers to handle it..
He estimated that 1000 sets Of a
print of $500 have been sold thus far.
and predicted another printing would
be required before the end Of the year.
Look at this" he said, running
through some figures. THE old cor
ner bookstore in Boston is one of the

For some odd reason" he said. an
unusually large number had been sold
in Maine and Vermont. He suggested
perhaps "the Presidents enemies up

brought into the committees inquiry
when Maurice A. Reynolds of Chicago.
publisher of the Rural Progress. read
at Senator Minton's request-a long
list of financial contributors to the

During Interrogation of the witness

director OF the National Committee to
Uphold the Constitution, was listed
as having put $500 in cash into the
concern as we'll as having an Sl8.5O0

DR.. Rumley recently defied the Lobby
Committees attempts to obtain records
of contributions to NJ c. U. c., which
fought the administrations reorgan-
ization bill
Senator Minton remarked that most
OF the contributors were good Repub-
leans
Senator Green said he had noted
that Dr. Frank was attempting to
communicate with Mr., Reynolds on
the witness stand and demanded that
he be warned not to do so.
The only thing l am trying to dc
is help the committee get the answers
and expedite this thing" DR.. Frank
retorted
You have offered your help several
times. and it has been declined,
snapped Senator Green.
Il realize that" said Dr. Frank. III

Balls Aid Brings Comment
When Mr.. Reynolds said George A
Ball of the Ball Bros. Glass Co held
$4,000 in stock in the company ano
$3.50 in 4 per cent debentures, Sen
ator Minton interjected that Mr..
Ball was heavy contributor to the
Republican party.
He has given more money to tn,
promotion of things that never hao
chance than anybody know" Sen.
ator Minton said.
Mr.. Reynolds said Mr.. Vallee hao
loaned the magazine company $4,000
and later had taken stock in payment
of the loan.
He listed DR. Charles E. Albright
of Milwaukee. an official of the North
western Mutual Life Insurance Co.
as holding $4,000 in the company's
debentures. He said this investment
was obtained by DR.. Frank, as were
many of the others.
At the beginning of the committee
session Senator Minton criticized the
Rural Progress Magazine for what he
called its 'sugar-coated attacks
against administration legislative pro-
posals.
He addressed his remarks to Reyn-
olds, who was questioned about the
magazines policies from the time it
was organized in 1884.

A serious traffic situation which

cles and traffic. after a careful exami-

In the last two and half years.
he pointed out. many judgments have
been certified by the various courts in
the District to the Department of
Vehicles and Traffic against taxicab
corporations, associations. partner
ships and individuals With one ex-
ception the records indicate that all
Judgment against taxicab owners and
operators remain unSatisfied.
In every case. Director Van Duzer
emphasized, his department has re-
quired the tags and operators per-
mits of the defendants to be Sus-
pended. but in the cases of associa-
tions and corporations the Traffic De-
partment can only remove the tags.
In two instances large companies
were ordered to surrender their tags.
In one case there were approx
mately 40 sets Of tags involved. In
this case the taxicabs were immedi-
ately transferred to the name of an
other corporation. The judgment to
this day remains unsatisfied in the files
of the Traffic Department.
The financial responsibility law, Di-
rector Van Duzer emphasized. cannot
overcome this situation because the
Traffic Department cannot prohibit
transfer of ownership of automobiles
after a judgment has been rendered.
In many cases involving individual
owners the records show that the own
ership of vehicles has simply changed
hands and the vehicles are continued
to be operated in the names of the new
owners
