Ex.vaIet Swears
Mature Boy"
Story Untrue

New York (CNS)--Otis Pollard
ex-valet of Nat King Cole. can
imagine how the story got GU
that he was fired by Cole for ask
ing the composer Of Mature Boy"
the nations number | hit song
for piece. In the FIRST place
Otis insists, he was never fired
but quit the Trio for personal
reasons, In the Sc ,ond place, he
was working for Nat at the time
Mature Boy was recorded in
August and left just last February
In the third place, he and Eden
Ahbez, the composer, are very
thick friends and were, long be-
fore the tune was even written.
And in the fourth place, Otis not
only claims he wrote two lines
of Mature Boy" but owns Is per
cent of the tune. He owns a per-
eentage of other hit tunes also.
Pollard made these statements
to us backstage at the Appolo
Theatre where he is currently EN-
ployed by Oscar Moore, formerly |
with the King Cole Trio, and now
heading The Three Blazers during
Jonny Moore's illness. He also
stated that Mature Boy" has net
ted no royalties and that Eden
Ahbez. who appeared with King
Cole on the recent I'VE The Peo-
pie" broadcast. had come to New
York as guest Of the program.
II loaned Eden money to take
his girl out one night in Califor-
nia--the girl he married, Pollard
said. I've known him a very long
time. He asked me to help him
plug his song and when l looked
it over and added the two lines
we agreed on the percentage. Then
Nat recorded it. But I was never
fired because l asked for "a piece.
That's ridiculous. l already had

Stock Market Down
Fractions 10 Point
In Erratic Session
BY the Asseeiatsd Rrass

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-A slow
sinking spell in the stock market
today was temporarily halted by a
brief rally, but prices remained frac-
tions to around a point lower.
Stocks were mixed in a fairly ac-
tive opening but the volume de-
clined as quotations eased through
out the list. Buying was attracted
on the rally but it failed to hold in
later trading.
Steels were the most active with
automobiles gaining q large share
of attention on partial recovery
Of their loss Oils held out against
the pressure for some time but
leaders finally fell.
Brokers termed the movement a
technical reaction from the wide
gains made last week which brought
the list as a whole near the years
high. The fact that no large amount
of selling was uncovered was re-
garded as a factor favorable to a
continuation Of the upward trend
of the past few weeks.
On the downside were United
States Steel, Youngstown Sheet g.
Tube, National Steel. Santa Fe,
Southern Railway, Nickel Plate,
Standard Oil New Jersey, Mission
Corp. Montgomery Ward, Southern
California Edison, International
Nickel, American Can, American
Woolen (od as much as three points
at one time, International Paper,
and Transcontinental g. Western
Moving against the lower tide
were Studebaker, Caterpillar Trac-
tor, Douglas Aircraft, American
Telephone & Telegraph, Allied
Chemical and Philip Morris.

Reserve Board Blamed
Widely in Past Dips,
Plans New Moves
By Carlton A. ShiveIy
North American Newsoorer Aljionea


NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Perhaps
nothing can stir so much acrimoni-
Gus discussion as monetary policy
of our economic managers. The
burst in the inflationary price bub-
bic right after the first World War
was widely blamed on the Federal
Reserve Board, which was held
responsible for the ensuing depres-
sion.
Just before the breakup Of the
secondary boom in the late 2os,
the board was criticized q good
deal for trying to meddle with
money and credit in a period OF
prosperity.
In its current monthly review
the Federal Reserve Board restates
the case for the need Of some curb
on the imitation of bank credit
There is no doubt OF that expansion,
which is taking place rapidly and
is aided by the heavy loans to in
dustry by the big insurance COM
panies, thus making it possible for
the spending of a lot more money
than otherwise would be the case.
Another Boost Expected.
Clearly the board is preparing the
public and the banks for another
boost in bank-reserve requirements
against deposits, which probably will
require the banks to find another
81 SOC, 900, 900 to place in idleness
with the reserve system.
If this further call be made, 1t
will no doubt be met as was the
first one, namely, with the sale by
the banks of Government securities
This will mean that the Federal
Reserve System will put up all the
money, since it stands to take any
and all bonds offered at its pegged
price - something in itself that
greatly encourages imitation; 1t
makes 1t profitable for the holders
OF Government bonds to sell them,
without loss, and use the funds to
lend at higher rates Of interest than
that paid by the bonds.
Incidentally a higher reserve re-
quirement met in this manner acts
as a special tax on the banks, which
temporarily, at least, are deprived
Of the income from the bonds which
they sell to build up reserves.
Other Steps Possible.
That would not matter If G)
There were a real need for STOP
ping the expansion of commercial
lending by the banks, and If (2)
higher reserve requirements would
turn the trick
The Federal Reserve Board itself
has no illusions on point No. 2. Yet
it warns Of the dangers Of imitation.
Possibly it expects to do more
than NEEDLE with reserves; it may
also have in mind higher discount
rates and a lowering Of the pegs
it is compelled by the Secretary
Of the Treasury and President Tru-
man to hold in the Government
bond market.
It could tighten money SUFFICIENT
ly to produce real depression; it
might be skillful enough to put
on just the right amount of brake
to slacken the pace without stop
ping the machine.
