Moore Denies Trying
To Manipulate Prices

Ralph w. Moore, Washington
commodity broker, today made q
formal denial of Agriculture Depart
ment charges that he had violated
the Commodity Exchange Act in his
trading operations.
In an answer filed with the de-
Mr.. Moore asked dis MIS-
sal of the complaint issued against
him last May. 1t charged Mr.. Moore
with circulating a false report con-
corning Government lard purchases
in an alleged attempt to influence
prices, and also with failing to re-
port trading operations in accord
ance with the law.
Mr.. Moore, with Offices at 1907
N street NV, denied he had at
tempted to manipulate prices by
any document. He also denied that
he had an interest in or controlled
100000 pounds of lard futures at
the time, as alleged in the Agricul-
ture Department complaint.
His answer said that if he failed
to file reports required by law it was
"inadvertent and unintentional"
He also attacked the validity OF
the complaint because it was issued
by Acting Secretary Of Agriculture
N. E. Dodd and not by the Secre-
retary Of Agriculture.
The answer was filed in Mr.
Moore's behalf by Attorney Ben 1var
Mednicoff.
Jack w. Balm, Agriculture Depart
ment examiner, said he expects dur
ing the day to set a date for a
hearing on the complaint.

verdict.
A former German munitions trust,
Friedrich Krupp Aktiengesellshaft,
also was named a defendant in the
indictment, but was not tried be-
cause the court lacked jurisdiction
over it.
Prosecution Suspended.
Prosecution of the case was sus-
pended during the war at the re-
quest of the War Department be-
cause the defendants were engaged
in war production.
The Government charged a con-
spiracy to monopolize production
and control prices of carbide hard
metal compositions through an in
ternational cartel.
The indictment described the
hard metal compositions involved
as tungsten, carbide and their COM
bination with .tantalum, titanium
and carbon, as bound together by
iron, cobalt or nickel.
The metals have great hardness
and toughness and are in great de-
mand in automobile, aircraft, tank,
shipbuilding, munitions and other
heavy production industries, the
Government said.
The Government also alleged the
defendants set price of $453 a
pound for one of the COMPOSITIONS

them to meet tongue e-swallowing
emergencies was reported yesterday

was occupied at the fruit counter at
the time
AS they looked, the baby fell from

it up. the baby obviously was
choking Pvt Kissner said he seized
the baby, held it upside down and
stuck his finger down its throat to
retrieve the swallowed tongue, while
his wife slapped the baby on the
back. In a short while, he said,
everything was back to normal-the
baby believing loudly and biting him
on the finger.
Pvt. Kissner said he didn't ask
the mothers name. She seemed
upset enough as it was," he reported.
