Witness Plea Studied
In Coastal Stock Probe

The full Securities and Ex-
change Commission today had
under advisement the problem,
growing out of the Coastal FL
nance Corp. stock registration
inquiry, of whether a witness
should be questioned after he
claims personal privilege.
The witness, John G. Dick

office in Baltimore, at first Of

the examiners attention that
Mr.. Dickerson had not fully UNI
derstood his position and wanted
to assert his privilege of not in
eliminating himself.
Examiner Ewell said he did
not think anything should be
stricken from the record, but he
passed along to the full commits
sion the question of whether Mr..
Dickerson should be questioned
further. The examiners hearina
is slated to be resumed at GAS

A statement given by Mr..
Dickerson on October 20. 1855,

dent OF Coastal Finance, was

Pepsi Holders
Told Of Plans
For Expansion

Sales of Pepsi-Cola Bottling
Co. of Washington jumped more
than 26 per cent above a year
ago in two months this year and
the company has about run out
of capacity to meet demand,
President James w. Carkner de-
clared at the annual stockholders
meeting at Hotel Statler today,
A new plant must be built
declared Mr.. Carkner, but he
indicated that final plans have
not been made and that con-
Istruction probably will be under
taken under a lease-back ar
arrangement.
Mr.. Carkner, who also is
board chairman of the parent
IPepsi-Cola Co., said the Wash
Iington company's plant must be
a show place to be proud OF and
fully representative of the parent
company in the National Capital.
He asked stockholders to be
patient about resumption of
common dividends and reminded
them their equity in the COM
pany had increased substantially
in the last year.
The company'S case price OF
Sc cents was too low in view OF
higher costs and was raised to
Slip a case on March S, he
pointed out.
Holders of 442,798 shares out

scented at the meeting either in

He added he would "often give
them Is cents to forge papers.
Daniel L. O'Connor, Mr.. Bush's
attorney, said Mr.. Dickerson's
testimony was brought in to at
tack the credibility of certain
witnesses the commission has
presented in this case.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Bush returned
to the witness stand and testified
the Coastal Finance Corps re-
ports did not show irregularities
or improper practices of any kind
by branch managers. Referring
to .he records, he contended de-
linquent accounts had been
brought down from SIG per cent
in September 1854 to 4.58 per
cent on December 81 of that
year.
Mr.. Bush denied that he had
made requests of John j. Con-

Mr.. Billiard to obtain spread
accounts" in the offices. These
spread payments are explained
as the crediting of SIN all
