NEW YORK. This is the
time Of year when mutual
funds and investment trusts
are reporting on their stock
transactions during the three
months ended June 30. Many
leading newspapers and brokers
have digested, tabulated and
published the funds transac-
tons.
Scrutiny of these transac-
tons often gives some valuable
clues to the individual investor.
To get real benefit from these
figures you will have to use
considerable discretion. They
are also more meaningful If
a file is kept for comparative
purposes and they are used in
conjunction with lists that
show the shifting popularity
Of the funds largest commit
menus.
You will always find a con-
siderable difference of opinion.
For instance. in the last quar-
ter, four funds sold and four
funds bought General Motors.
Rated by number of shares,
more was sold than bought
Nevertheless, this highlights
the great difference that can
exist between the most compe-
tent and best posted profess
sional opinion.
There will be cases where the
preponderance Of buying or
selling will be heavy. Here, the
investor must do a little figur-
ing on his own. There is such

Malice Charged
In Merger FIGHT

The Seaboard Air Lines and
Atlantic Coast Line Railroads
have accused the Florida East
Coast Railway of maliciously
attempting to delay their pro-
posed merger.
The two railroads urged the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to throw out an FEC petit
ton to reopen the hearing into
the proposed consolidation. An
ICC examiner has approved the
merger. but the full commission
has not yet acted.
The FEC had accused the two
other railroads of having al
ready entered into the merger
illegally without ICC approval
and also of conspiring to de-
stroy the FEC.
In their reply to the charge,
filed with the ICC, the two
roads said this latest, most
obvious and flimsiest attempt
at delay of the merger proceed
ing. already three years old, has
absolutely no foundation"

Investors Get Clues
In Reports Of Funds

"a thing as a stock becoming
too popular or its troubles being
too widely advertised.
The important thing to look
for is the trend. Valuable buy
ing ideas can be had II it is
noted when a few funds start
buying an issue and the out
look suggests that there are
many more which might likely
follow along. The same can
be said in reverse when an is
sue at the very top Of its
popularity begins to attract
fund sellers.
1t is apt to be very reward
ing to check obscure new issues
that turn up as fund purchases
for the first time.
Some investors look to see
what the best managed trusts
are doing in this connection. It
should be recognized that Diff
ferent fund managers have diff
ferent investment aims. II you
are interested basically in
capital gains you should look
for important buying occurring
in a stock for the first time
only by a fund that has the
same capital gains outlook.
All in all, these quarterly
compilations of fund TRANSACT
tons can be most valuable but
only used as a guide to per-
sonal research. Accepting
blindly what on the surface
may seem to be their con-
illusions is not apt to prove
very profitable.

Washington is not town to worship
clay heroes, as New York has done with the
Nets. The Nets are symbols to the bluffs
whose bosses aren't paying them enough,
who have trouble at home, whose TV sets
were in flower when Kukla, Fran and Ollie
were hot stuff.
In our town a sympathetic voice was
extended, briefly, to the 81 Senators be-
cause these were the poor Have-NotS who
were keeping baseball in the city. And
besides, there was feeling of outrage to-
ward Cal Griffith for moving his franchise.
BUT IT WASN'T A LASTING accept
ance. This is town that is weary of ad-
versity. Futility, even in the extreme, is no
novelty, nor is it amusing. This is a losers

winner since 1898.
Before and at the time Mickey Vernon
was fired, General Manager George Selkirk
insisted, This is not a last-place club"
He'd better believe 1t is. Name any quail
fled baseball man and ask him if he'd swap
the Tigers, Angels, Twins, Red Sox, Indians,
ETC., for the Senators, even up.
The other day the Athletics optioned
two outfielders, Nanny Jimenez and Jose
Tartabull, to the minors. The former hit
3O1 last year. the latter 277. You don't see
the Senators shipping out any .301 and PIT
hitters. Except for Chuck Hinton, they
haven't got any.
THE SENATOR'S INFIELD plight was
pointed up when Daryl Spencer was released
by the L. A. Dodgers, who first tried to
trade or sell him. When nobody was inter-
ested they made him free agent. Selkirk
offered asylum in Washington.
1t was vowed by the Dodgers that
Spencer was washed up, done. Couldn't hit,
couldn't field. When Casey Stengel was
asked why the Nets didn't claim him on
waivers, he disposed of the question in
four words.
Because he can't play" The Professor
testified.
But Spencer stalled, hopeful of avoid
ing the Senators, and was rewarded when
a place opened with the Reds He bade
good-by to Washington without even say

This season, he had won only

Belinsky was smiling when he
emerged from Manager Bill

the bad news. He said he had
no comment.
Rigney told newsmen:
The reason this is being
