Mitchell and other high officials of the National City Bank of New York are to be called in the Senate’s stock market investigation February 21, for an inquiry into “the marketing of their own bank stocks to the public.” Chairman Norbeck of the Senate Banking Committee conducting the in- vestigation said the National City Bank stock was sold at a “phenomenally high price and dropped to less lhun one- twentieth '7! that high price.” ‘\orbeck Blames Mitchell. The committee’s investigation, beck said, has shown that “some of the large banks were highly r&sponslblc for the wild stock market boom.” Norbeck said that at that time the Federal Reserve Board sought to slow the boom and asked the co-operation of Mitchell, then a director of the New York Federal Reserve Eank. Mitchell, Norbeck said, “defied the board and speeded up the boom. He took a ‘go to hell’ attitude toward the boom and got away with it.” All Banks Not Involved. “All banks did not take part.” Nor- beck said, “but some banks were in on the promotion scheme and gave strong recommendations for stock which quick- 1y broke down in price and seemed to have had little intrinsic value or earn- ing power.
