John Mother- shed, then manager of Fenner and Bean's Washington office, called on | him for more collateral which the | Senator did not put up. Accord- ingly, he was sold out, at a heavy loss. I think you will next dey, July 19, 1933, Senator Thomas then sent two blistering telegrams to the presidents of the New York Stock Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade de- manding s cter regulation. The two telegrams read in part: “To- day's activity in your exchange demonsirates absolute necessity for immediate adoption of a rale limit- ing the amount of loss on &any sick during any one session.” It is interesting that the Sena- tcr himseli did not reveal. that he himself was caught short. put his protest on the high moral plane of protecting the investing public. It is also interesting that some years later, in the spring of 1946 when the OPA urged stricter control of the cotton market, Thomas took exactly the opposite view and opposed those controls. At that time he and his wife were long on cotton and gambling on a continued rise in prices. The Senator didn't want OPA controls to interfere with such a rise. find that the , Oklahcma seems to have b | during practically all of his | fully, He| " I rate. WFA»RDIM!

He replied that he wanted to use the acccunt for himself, Ralph Moore and one other. The brokers told him they would ask their New York office whether the account was acceptable.

Coughlin later turned out to be the biggest individual buyer (through his secretary) of silver in the United States In speech after speech Thomas urged passage of his silver-buying bill, the remonetization or silver and the payment of soldier bonuses from silver. But he said nothing to the public about the fact that he himselt had been buying up stlver. ily under his Ralph Moore ily under his Suspicious own name was trading own name Merrill Lynch, and Beane finally turned the “Farm Prcducts Co." ugh later, on October accident they accepted it Oct. 26, however, they asked Cul- lum to take the elsewhere.
