Senate committee would take any
eognizance of the Edith Thomas
listing in the cotton traders group.
Senator Ferguson replied:
'The committee has not changed
its attitude to go thoroughly into
the whole matter"
The list Of traders made public
last night included the name of
]. E. Mcdonald, the Texas State
Agriculture commissioner. He told
reporters, the Associated Press re-
ported, that he bought cotton two
years before-in 1934-at 22h cents
a pound and sold 1t for 81 cents.
On July 81, 1916, according to the
list, he had 300 bales "long."
Mr.. Mcdonald lambasted Gov
ernment officials responsible for re-
leasing the names of persons specu-
lating in the stock market, but
said he had no objections to dis
cussing his stock market activities
even though it's my own personal
business"
1--WE traded in cotton futures in
small way-a very small way
for 80 years. It's q legitimate busi-
ness, and I've no apologies to make y
he declared.
Thomas Jordan on List.
Also listed was Thomas Jordan,
the New Orleans trader whose ac-
tivities in 1916 broke the cotton
market for time. He began trad
ing with only $500 in 1896, ran his
position up to millions by 1916 and
then attempted to collect on his
paper profits This operation was
SO huge that the market broke and
he was caught in the downswing
before he could complete unloading
In the latest list made public, Mr..
Jordan is shown to have held "a 200
bales long" and 5,400 Short" The
cotton market break came around
the first of October that year. At
the time of the break, according
to another series of reports by
Secretary Anderson, his holdings
had reached 137,200 bales long"

lican Congress, and that it has
failed. The platform declares labor
management disputes have in
creased.
After condemning the Taft
Hartley Act, the Democrats go on
record for such legislation as is
desirable to establish Just body of
rules to assure free and effective
collective bargaining, to determine
in the, public interest the rights of
employees and employers, to reduce
to minimum their conflict Of in
terests, and to enable unions to keep
their membership free from Com
munistic influence"
The main purposes of the Taft
Hartley Act were to equalize the
rights of employees and employers.
and to protect unions from Com
munist influence.
Foreign Aid Pledged.
The only differences between the
Republican and Democratic foreign
policy planks is that the Democrats
specifically promised to implement
foreign recovery programs with ap-
preparations, and the pledge of sup
port of Israel is spelled out in greater
detail. There is no major differ
ence over the basic phases Of exist
ing partisan foreign policy.
To help Israel defend itself, the
Democrats favor revision Of the
arms embargo, and promise to work
for modification of any resolution OF
the United Nations that may pre-
vent such revision.
The Democratic platform also
carries the planks reported yester-
day criticizing Republican handling
of domestic prices. housing and the
distribution of tax relief.
Oleo Tax Repeal Urged.
Other planks call for repeal OF
Federal oleomargarine taxes; ef1ec-
tive international control OF weapons
of mass destruction-meaning the
atom bomb: strong national defense
On fiscal policy the platform
pledges a balanced budget and a
reduction of the Nations debt.
Taxes should be reduced. 1t says,
but only when that is possible with
out putting the Treasury in the red.
Major Relief should go to loW-ln-
come persons who, the document
insists, were neglected in the recent
tax slash voted by the Republican,
controlled Congress; again over a
presidential veto and again with
wide Democratic support.
Comprehensive housing legislation
is proposed, with Federal help IN
slum clearance and low-rent hous-
ing projects.
The platform says Social Security
should be expanded and benefits
increased by at least so per cent
and calls for a national health pro-
gram and disability insurance.
