By the Associoted Press


The Securities and Exchange
Commission has announced a
two-pronged reopening of its in
vestigation into an abortive $40
million Kaiser-Frazer stock Of
fering in 1948 to Otis g. Co.,
Cleveland investment firm.
Previous SEC action in the
case was characterized by a
House Commerce subcommittee
last year as shocking story of
error, Indifference and evasion"
in which the commission was
either asleep at the switch or
deliberately ignored facts. -
The committee also criticized
the SEC for vigorously pur-
suing" Otis & Co. but not NOV
ing against Kaiser Frazer.
Yesterday the SEC said it
would:
/. Look into a New York cir
cult court finding that the
Kaiser-Frazer Corps summary
of earnings filed with the SEC
in connection with the disputed
offering was misleading.

cation, a probe of the SEC and

breaks.
Cable ships, over the years,
nave made thousands of sound
ings, which Capt. deSmitt says
challenges the popular concep-
ton that the ocean bottom is
full of high mountains and deep
ravlnes. On the contrary, he
contends, if the ocean were
drained CT water, 80 per cent of
the bottom probably would ap-
gear to an observer standing on
it "as fiat as billiard table,"
1t is the Seaquakes that cause
the mountains and the ravines.
Although undersea earthquakes
are always a potential threat in
cable operations, there has been
only one that seriously affected
Western Union cables since the
first permanently successful
transatlantic cable was laid 81
years ago.

THAT was the great quake of
November 18, 1929, which caused

called. Its force was so great
that cables in $1,000 feet of
