NEW YORK, April 14.-Financial
markets rallied today as the Presi-
dents message to Congress recon-
mending s7000,OO0 900 recovery pro-,
gram brought a revival of inflationary
psychology in the financial district.
Major commodities made the most
immediate response to the announce
ment of the pump printing plans,
wheat, cotton rubber, copper and HIDE
futures pushing up briskly.
The advance in stocks was more
orderly. The list shifted forward
slightly when the text of the White
House communication began to ap-
pear on the commission house news
tlchers. There was a subsequent dip
and an eventual come back in the
final hour that converted early losses
into gains running to 2 or more points,
A little profit selling near the close
reduced top marks here and there.
Dealings were quiet at the start.
There was moderate afternoon pick.
UP in volume, and transfers approxi-
mated 100000 shares.
Brokers attributed the relative tim
idity of trades largely to the desire
for more light on the administrators
proposed spending plans and the atti-
tude Congress will take toward them.
Also there was an inclination to pro-
ceed carefully pending the Chief Ex-
ecutive's "freside chat to the coun-
try tonight and because the exchange
will be closed tomorrow for the Good
Friday holiday.
One reason given for the somewhat
apathetic performance Of the share
division was that Wall Street for
several days had been discussing the
likelihood of huge administrative
spending and lending move and. con-
sequently, was hardly taken by SUR
prise.
Prominent share gamers includ&,
United States Steel. Bethlehem, Ana
conda. Kennecott. American Smelling,
United States Rubber GOODYEAR,
Sears-Roebuck, ]. l.. Case. Interna-
tlonal Harvester, American Metal.
Union Carbide. Johns Manville. West
ern Union. Chrysler and Philip Morris.
Gold mines and aircrafts were we'll
in front throughout Among these
were Homestake. Dome, Mcintyre,

PROBE OF F. c. c.
LEFTT0CONCRESS
Boards Decision DiscIoses
Rift and May Hasten
Inquiry.
BY WILLIAM T. WHEATLEY.


Congressional investigation Of the
Federal Communications Commission
was left entirely up to Congress yes
terday by formal action of the COM
munications body. The decision may
serve to bring probe by the legis-
lature nearer, however. in view OF the
fact that the boards decision brought
into the open indications of further
dissension.
The matter came to a head when
Commissioner Payne presented a
formal resolution which would have
officially notified the House Rules
Committee that the commission "is
not only not opposed to such con-
gressional inquiry, but welcomes it
both as to the entire subject of COM
munications and the commission it
SELF"
The commission voted it down S
to 2. Commissioner Payne was sup
ported by Commissioner Craven
Chairman McNinch and Commission
ers, Sykes, Brown, Case and Walker
voted against it.
Issue Formal Statements.
1t was then that the battle of diff
ferences broke into the open, Com
missioners Payne and Walker issuing
formal statements
Il greatly regret that the commits
sion should have put itself on record as
unwilling to say that it is not opposed
to an investigations, said Commits
sioner Paynes statement. I'm view OF
the language of the resolution which
was drawn by me with great care. the
only logical deduction Is that some
members of the F. G. G. do not want

the investigation and do not welcome
it. 1t is preposterous to deny that
there has been opposition to a congress
sional investigation within the COM
mission. There has even been lobbying
against it.
Il am particularly amazed at Com
missioner Walkers attitude, in view of
the fact that he formally called the
attention of the commission to leak
on the A. T. & T. investigation report
This leak. it would seem. was in part
responsible for the fact that the A. T,
g. T. securities led the stock market
downward during February and March,
assisting in producing crash that
brought suffering to thousands and
constituting a most disgraceful Incl
dent in the history of stock manipu-
lation.
Should Have Demanded Probe.
I'm the slight investigation that I
have been able to make up to date, I
have been informed that during this
period one block of 1000 shares of A.
T. g. T. stock was offered at a half a
point below the market. Under these
circumstances it appears to me hat
Commissioner Walker should have
issued, not an excuse for voting against
the resolution, but demand of Con-
gress that there should be such an in
vestigation."
Commissioner Walker took the view
that if Congress wanted to make an
investigation, that body should make
the decision, and that the group Ulder
fire should not take any steps either
in support or against such an in
quiry.
Whether an investigation Of a
Government agency created by Con-
gress,' his statement said, should be
made is wholly matter for the judg-
ment of Congress itself. This COM
mission should neither advocat', nor
oppose such investigation. If at any
time the Congress should see fit to
enter upon an investigation in which
this commission may be concerned
or by which it may be affected, this
commission should expect to offer
every facility at its command in as
sisting in the active prosecution of
such an investigation and in making

10 their civic and legal rights.
In this connection. the facts o,
the specific case are as follows:
Anthony Merriweather a colored
man living in the North Detroit
