An admission by Simon Wexler, Chicago trader, that he failed to file complete reports of his market trans- actions, was disclosed yesterday by the Grain Futures Administration. Charges of violation of the Grain Futures act were filed against Wexier in September. The alleged violations occurred in 1933 and 1934. J. W. T. Duvel, chief of the admin- stration, said the admission by Wexler was not a plea of guilty to the charges. However, he said, Wexler has waived a hearing before the Grain Futures Commission. The transcript of the record of the case, Duvel said, is being prepared for the commission, and a final decision is expected without further investi- gation. He added that an agreement was reached with Wexler in time to permit recall of subpoenas which had been issued by the Government for a hearing last week. If the commission finds Wexler guilty of violation, it may bar him from trading on all contract markets in this country. Two Chicago traders, Arthur W. Cutten and Thomas M. Howell, re- cently were barred for two years. The orders, however, have been stayed by appeals to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. The complaint against Wexler charged him with conspiracy to con- ceal his trading from the Grain Fu- tures Administration and with the making of inaccurate and incorrect reports of his position in the market. In addition, he was charged with making “wash” sales and cross trades in an attempt to manipulate the price of grain. The complaint listed a number of transactions and said some constituted from 50 to 93 per cent of the total transactions in certain futures on the Chicago Board of Trade on certain | days. The Grain Futures Commission in- eludes Secretaries Wallace and Roper and Attorney General Cummings. MASS TODAY TO HONOR PHILIPPINE REGIME| America Sponsors Service in Gonzaga Chapel.

EM HURJA has gained more than a modest amount of political fame by his ability to juggle figures and forecast election results. It was a different kind of juggling, however, that gave him his best boost with Na- tional Democratic Chairman Farley in 1930. On leave of absence from a New York brokerage job, Hurja went to the Democratic Convention with the New York delegation, but not as a delegate. Mr. Farley was working hard to line up Roosevelt votes in the convention and he was more than pleased when Hurja announced some time after their arrival that he had not only wangled his way into the convention as a dele- gate from Alaska, but that he had been named a member of a committee holding a strategical place in the con- vention operations. Mr. Hurja has done very little brokerage work since that time. PASSPORT RULE WAIVED | Exception Allows Former Noble- | woman More Time. Weiss, Long Ally, and Two|1,158.
