5chram Sees No Peril
Of Big Depression if
We Keep Our Heads
Sterilization Period
Entered, Stock Market
President Believes
By the Associoied Press

Emil Schram, president of the
New York Stock Exchange, said
today that provided we keep
our heads" there is no danger
of runaway initiation or a great
depression.
I'VE have emerged from the
period of shortages and unless the
Congress permits the budget to be-
come unbalanced again, l firmly be-
lieve we have already entered the
postwar period of stabiiization,' Mr..
Schram said in a statement to the
Senate House Economic Committee.
The committee is studying anti
imitation proposals, particularly sug-
gestions to restrict bank credit.
Sees No Absolute Stability.
1--WE cannot hope to attain abso-
lutte stability-it is not part of a
dynamic economy Mr.. Schram
said. However, if we do not de-
press business psychology unneces-
sarily, and adopt voluntary (credit)
restraints such as the American
Bankers Association has advocated,
I see no reason why large volume
of goods and services cannot con-
tinue to be produced and taken off
the market"
Mr.. Schram said that letting Gov
ernment long-term bonds 60 below
par, thus sending the interest rate
above the present 2h per cent,
might not have the catastrophe
effects feared by some.'
The Treasury and the Federal
Reserve Board are against letting
these bonds fall below par. The
administrations position is that the
Government already is paying about
$5 ,000,0 100000 interest year on the
national debt and can't afford more
! But Mr.. Scram said:
| ITO insist on 2I2 per cent rate
and at the same time express deer
concern over alleged inf1ationary
tendencies, to say the least, is in
consistent.
Criticizes Margin Requirement. =
| Mr.. Schram also criticized the
Federal requirement for IS per cent
margin tdown payment) on stocks
He said the present margin is
clearly discriminatory in the one
market that is not inflated"
In a move to put the brakes on
bank credit che Federal Reserve
Board has recommended to the
committee that the primary reserve
requirements of all commercial
banks be increased. If that did not
do the job banks should be required
to set up an additional special re-
serve, the board contends.
Mr. Schram said, TT is folly to
expect return to the prewar price
level" and added that mo Federal

Senator 0'Conor Wins
1916 Election Contest
After 1S-Month Probe
Rules Committee Report
Unanimous in Denying
Morkey Challenge
By J. A. O'Leory

Senator O'Conor, Democrat,
of Maryland today won the con-
test over his 1916 election by
unanimous vote of the Senate
Rules Committee. Eight Re-
publicans and five Democrats
joined in the vote.
For nearly 18 months the commit
tee has been investigating the con-
test brought by the Republican can
didate. D. John Markey. Today's
decision virtually ends the contest
as the Senate is expected to ratify
the committees action.
Mr.. Markey disputed the outcome
when the November. 1946, count
showed former Gov. O'Conor the
winner by the slender margin of
1882 votes. The final committee re-
count still gave Senator O'Conor a
margin of 1924.
In addition to challenging the
figures, the unsuccessful Republi-
can candidate also alleged a wide
variety of Irregularities in the inter-
probation of the Maryland election
laws.
No Dissenting Vote.
The O'Conor forces filed briefs
containing countercharges.
A subcommittee hired investiga-
tors and spent months recounting
and studying the ballots. Repub-
licans were in the majority on both
the subcommittee and full commit
tee, but there was not dissenting
vote from the decision in favor OF
Senator O'Conor.
When the contest was filed orig
inally in the fall of 1916. no effort
was made to have Mr. O'Conor
stand aside during the investiga-
ton. He was. therefore, sworn in
at that time and has been perform
ing his duties as a Senator.
All Ballots Rechecked.
Senator Jenner, Republican, of
Indiana was chairman of the
Investigating Subcommittee. He
summed up the case today as fol-
lows:
At the start. recheck of the
automatic voting machines in Balti-
more City showed a mistake of 426
in Mr. Markey's favor.
The subcommittee then selected
five counties outside of Baltimore
for a sample recount to determine
whether a recount of the entire
State was justified These counties,
Senator Jenner said, were all more
or less favorable to Senator O'Conor
and the net result there and in
Baltimore was gain of LOO for
Mr.. Markey.
The subcommittee then decided
to recount the rest of the State
Senator Jenner pointed out that
brought into the picture counties
favorable to Mr.. Markey, and he
explained that when human errors
throughout the State were bal
anced off. the final increase In Mr..
Markeys vote was not much more
than he had picked up in the cor
rection of the machines in Balu-
more.
The committee adopted resoiu-
ton declaring that Senator O'Conor
was duly elected and entitled to his
seat for the full six-year term.

Truman asserted today that he
would not give Congress the FBI

The President emphasized at a
news conference that Congress has
no power to require members of the
cabinet to turn over confidential
information, and he said he would
veto any legislation requiring such
records.
When it was pointed out that a
