BY the Associated Press.

Securities and Exchange Commits
sion experts have begun the spade
work for the antitrust investigation
of $4,000, 100000 assets Of the Ma

In some respects the study probably
will parallel the commissions analysis
of the $50, 900 o,oo0, 600 assets Of insur-
ance companies and the relation Of
this huge reservoir Of funds to the
capital market.
The latter phase Of the survey was
authorized by Congress to determine
whether concentration Of enormous
assets entailed monopolistic practices.
S. e. c. experts already have out
lined the Job of analyzing the me-
chanics of marketing securities to in
surance companies. Present indications
are that the commissions monopoly
staff will pattern its study Of savings

Executives in both fields may be
called in to testify, although much OF
the raw material needed for the study
Is available in financial manuals and
elsewhere.
Pointing up the savings bonks in
quiry is the fact that about Sc, 900 ,000,-
900, or so per cent, of all such assets
are held in New York State. and about
80 per cent is piled up in banks In

Chicago matron, mother Of the 4
month-old baby whose brain was
spared by mercy" eye-removal
operation last May, awaited today still
another surgeons opinion OF her
daughters chances for life and sight.
"All that I want Is to have Helaiae's
eyesight saved" said Mrs. Herman
Colsn, wife of . dentist. as she stood
last night beside an empty crib in q
midtown hotel room. I'VE don't want
sympathy. Our only thought Is for
oui daughter"
The baby, victim Of . cancerous
growth that already has taken her left
eye, was taken to the Eye Institute
Of Presbyterian Hospital yesterday
after her arrival by plane.
DR.. Algernon B. Reese, eye special
ist, to whom Mrs. Colan was sent by
Chicago physicians, plans thorough
examination.
A short time after Helaine Judith
was born March 20, she was found to
have glioma Of the retina. Doctors
gave her parents the agonizing al
ternatives Of having the child's eyes
removed to halt the spread Of infection
or Of risking her life by refusing to
allow an operation.
A jury Of 10 doctors and two rabbis
made the decision-for removal Of one
eye. A decision on the other possibly
awaits DR.. Reese's opinion. Mrs. Colan
indicated last night she might permit
another operation rather than lose her
baby.
Her mother, Mrs. Morris Hersh-
man. accompanied her to New York.

eral privileges the Virginia group was
deprived of by the Grand Order when
it was suspended last November, ac-
cording to the bill Of complaint filed
by attorneys for the local colored

bringing it to court.
