German, Italian Funds
Withdrawn From u, :,
Dy the AksoetatAd Prsss.

~ the Associated Pres.
Fear Of having their American
funds "frosen," the Treasury said
today, caused Germany to withdraw
$2,3e3 900 and italy S8,777 900 from
the United States in October.
The Treasury commented that the
Withdrawals apparently were acti-
waited by expectation Of new ex-
change control orders"
For several months rumors have
been heard that the administration
might freeze the funds Of all nations
as it has those of France and other
German-occupied countries. More
recently this step has been reported
authoritatively to be under consid-
Grafton in connection with economy
defense" moves which might be CO.
ordinated under a new agency.
The axis powers derived the funds
that they withdrew largely from the
sale Of 50 ,2e7 900 worth Of American
securities. The rest was taken out
Of bank accounts.
This left Germany 50 ,054 900 and
italy $l9,381 900 OF Short-term as.
sets-bank accounts or other assets
quickly convertible into cash. No
statement was made on any long
term assets they had. Nor was data
available on Withdrawals since Oc-
tober. since the Treasury publishes
international capital movement fie-
ures only after three months.
England, France. Holland. Canada
and Latin America also withdrew
funds from the United States during
October, but these were offset by
Switzerland's adding s12,32e, 900 to
its funds here.

Boston Dealers Hit
Multiple
Trading Rule
Odd-Lot Witnesses
Oppose Proposal at
S. {. {. Hearing
By the Associated Press.

6J the hSSoClAteo FteSS.
Three Boston odd-lot dealers with
New York Stock Exchange firm
connections testified today they
would be forced out of business If
the exchange persisted in enforcing
its rule prohibiting multiple trading,
or dealing on another exchange in
securities which are listed on the
big board.
Walter T. Brown. Winchester,
Mass; Malcolm Amsden, Brookline,
Mass. and Ray E. Southgate, West
minister, Mass, all dealers in odd
lots in Boston, testified before a
Securities Commission examiner
that they had insufficient capital
to continue business without the
financing provided by New York
Stock Exchange members.
The commission has requested
the exchange to rescind its rule.
Cites Present Loss.
Brown, member of the Boston
Stock Exchange since 1906, told the
examiner he had been financed by
E. H. Bright & Co. of New York
since 1884. He deals in odd lots in
Boston and the Bright firm puts
up the money. He said the account
with the New York firm is operat-
