TRUST VIOLATION BY RALS HINTED Suggestions Are Repeated in Senate Probe of Van Sweringens. B the Associated Press. Suggestions that the Federal anti- trust laws might have been violated in the building of the far-flung Van Sweringen transportation system were injected today for the second time into the Senate's investigation of rail- road financing. Chairman Wheeler of the investi- | eenth-floor stenographer, gating committee asserted there was “serious question” whether anti-trust laws had been violated in connection with a 1932 stock transaction be- tween two Van Sweringen railroads. Tells of Erie Stock Sale. J. J. Anzalone, treasurer and con- | troller of a half dozen companies in | the Van Sweringen network, testified that Alleghany Corp.—the system’s chief holding company—had agreed to sell 382.000 shares of Erie and Nickel | Plate Railway stock to the Chesa- peake & Ohio road. | All the firms concerned, he said, | were controlled by the late Van Swer- ingen brothers of Cleveland. | Earlier in the inquiry Wheeler as-| serted he believed anti-trust laws had | been infringed by a sale of terminal | properties by Terminal Shares, Inc., to the Missouri Pacific Railroad. both | under Van Sweringen domination. “Incorrect” Accounting Cited. Continuing a three-day examina- tion of the Van Sweringen books‘ Wheeler contended the committee had | discovered three instances of “incor- rect” accounting, showing a $20,000,- 000 discrepancy All three “errors” were made in con- | nection with the sale of the terminal properties, located at Kansas City and 8t.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Cigarette Halts Death Plunge Drama on Hotel’s 18th Story B the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 17.—For nearly two hours Tuesday Maurice Nast teetered on the edge of the eight- eenth story promenade roof of & mid- town hotel, the Pennsylvania, threat- ening to jump, while a great crowd below craned necks and every form, of appeal to his gallantry and his re- ligious feeling moved him not. Finally, a proffered cigarette turned the trick. Off guard a moment as he lighted it, a grim fireman crept up and seized him. He was holding to the ledge with one hand when Annie Huse, an eight- telephoned police. Police called firemen, radio cars, an ambulance and an emergency : squad. While heads popped from office building windows Nast threatened to jump each time s uniformed figure | approached. Police and firemen tried taking off their uniform coats, but it did not | work. A priest and two rabbis joined their “Be Kind to Parents” In Yule Vacation, Smith Girls Urged BY the Associated Press. NORTHAMPTON, Mass, De- cember 17.—The theme of Dean Marjorie Hope Nicholson’s Christ- mas greeting to Smith College girls before they left school for the holidays was somewhat un- usual—"be kind to your parents.” But the dean related she had been disturbed by an anonymous post. card received by the college warden last year. It read: “Can’t something be done about the length of the Christmas va- cation? Three days would be long enough for any mother. Do your heads of houses have to sit up until the girls get in at night? If 50, may I rent one for the next vacation?" eskskse The Modern Door Bell { Electric Door Chime With & Pipe | Orzen Tome When your outside door button’ 1s pressed the | chime sends a delight- ful melloy tone through the house followed by & | deeer “harmenior 25 Button is reloased. 1t is easily = distinguished from other gongs. radio musieal and telephone Its deep musical ‘sweetness of sound offers | & gragious welcome to {your guest. ¢ I SN |Bronze & Brass Chime e $6.00 |Black & Chrome Chime % with crans @77 (3() former A CHARGE ACCOUNTS INVITED Store Hours: 4.30 A.

The firemen tried to rig a net, but the span was too great. Diane Grega!l, a blond stenographer, savntered upon the 10of and an- nounced: “Irene is downstairs and wants you on the telephone.” Having no luck with that, she tried to appeal to Nast's gallantry, asking him to get her a glass of wine. He would not budge. Finally, as everybody was pretty worn out, Peter Frenzel, a club stew- ard, turned the trick. “Will you have a cigarette?” he asked casually. Nast accepted, and the firemen nabbed him. Nast was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, where he told Dr. William O’'Gorman that he “guessed he had suffered a brain spell” and apologized to “everybody” for the things he had | said in answer to their pleas. Nast said he was 67 and lived in Brooklyn. For some time lately he suffered from headaches, he said. Dr. O'Gorman took him to Bellevue Hospital for further treatment. 200000000000000 Russia Grows Quinine.
