VAN SWERINGEN DEAL IS PROBED Senate Group Summons 3 Brokers Who Recently Purchased Stock. By the Associated Press. A Senate committee undertook to- day to learn all the facts about the purchase of control of the Nation’s largest rail network by three invest- ment brokers for one-five-hundredth of its estimated value. Chairman Wheeler of the Railway Finance Committee said far-reaching legislation—including the outlawing of railroad holding companies—might xesult from the inquiry. He summoned Robert R. Young, Frank F. Kolbe and Allan P. Kirby to explain their acquisition for $6,- 375,000 of securities controlling the #Van Sweringen transportation empire from George A. Ball, elderly Indiana glassmaker and Republican national tommitteeman. Command Major Roads. Through a towering pyramid of holding companies these s ecurities carry command of $3,000,000,000 worth of properties—among them seven major railway systems, coal pits, Tashionable hotels, bus lines and Mid- western office buildings. These properties were strung to- gether on a chain of 249 interlocking corporations by the late Van Swerin- gen brothers of Cleveland. When their empire began to crumble during the depression, a New York bankers' syndicate foreclosed its mortgage on the controlling securi- ties and sold them at auction, They were purchased for $3,121,000 by Ball, a friend of the Van Swerin- gens. He handed the vast network | back to the brothers to manage dur- | ing their lifetime After their death he transferred | ¢ his key stocks and bonds to a family charitable foundation. It sold them & few weeks ago at a 100 per cent profit to the New York brokerage firm of Young, Kolbe and Co— closely identified with General Aotors and Du Pont interests. “Du Pont Money” Seen. Although the three young financiers | have insisted they acquired control for themselves alone, some members of Wheeler's committee have ex- pressed the belief that “Du Pont money” was involved. The investigation of railroad financ- | ing has centered for five months on the Van Sweringen lines—termed by ‘Wheeler an outstanding example of the way in which holding companies can be used to keep public utilities from “effective regulation.” In its preliminary report the com- mittee said the various transfers of the system’s control had “never been | subjected to the scrutiny of any gov- ernmental agency, State or Federal, other than this committee.” Wheeler indicated he would seek not enly legislation abolishing transporta- tion holding companies, but also an immediate simplification of the Van Eweringen system’s corporate set-up. Committee experts said the Van | Eweringen inquiry alone might take | two or three months more. Thereafter | they are expected to investigate 24 | other railway lines. Retreat Master Announced. Rev.

ADOLPH OCHS DIES IN NEW YORK |Widow of New York Times Publisher Victim of Heart Attack. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, May 6.—Mrs. Effie Wise Ochs, widow of Adolph 8. Ochs, late publisher of the New York Times, died suddenly today of a heart at- tack at her home, Hillandale, White Plains, N. Y. She would have been 77 years old tomorrow. Death came just a little over two years after her husband died at Chattanooga, Tenn., When the couple had been married 52 years. Mrs. Ochs was the daughter of Rabbi Isaac M. and Therese Bloch Wise and spent much of her girlhood at their estate, 8 miles from Cincin- nati, Ohio.,, where she was born, May | 7, 1860. Her first school was one her father, founder of Reform Judaism in America, organized near their estate— the Hebrew Union College. Married in 1883. She and Mr. Ochs were married February 28, 1883, when she was 23, he 25. For a time Mrs. Ochs was dramatic critic and book reviewer on the Chattanooga Times, which Ochs owned when the two met in 1881. During the 13-year period that the couple remained in Chattanooga, Mrs. Ochs presided over the household in which were entertained a number of prominent persons—among them Pres- ident Cleveland and a young Repub- lican editor from Ohio, Warren G. Harding, who consulted with Mr. Ochs on the advisability of starting a newspaper in Chattanooga. In 1892 Mrs, Ochs returned to- Cin- cinnati, where her daughter, Iphigene Bertha Ochs, was born on September 19 of that year. Came to New York. It was in 1896 when her husband consulted with her about coming to New York to take control of the New York Times, and shortly thereafter his plans were put into effect. Mrs. Ochs was active in philan- thropic fields. In 1930 she and her husband helped dedicate the tablet in Temple Emanu-El in New York in the Isaac Mayer Wise Memorial Hall, and that same year Mr. Ochs was chairman of a fund to raise $5,000,000 for the endowment of the Hebrew Union College, which her father had headed until his death. Surviving is her daughter, now Mrs. Arthur Hays Sulzberger, wife of the publisher of the Times, and four grandchildren. Funeral plans were not immedi- ately completed. o Airport (Congnued From Pirst Page.) ability of Frederic A.

Address at Arlington Miscues on Matter of History. Postmaster General Farley had to choose yesterday between “landing” | Sir Walter Raleigh in Virginia or North Carolina, but the fact remains that Sir Walter never saw either State. Farley had crossed the Potomac with a prepared address to help lay the cor- ner stone of the new Arlington Post Office. “I recalled from the pages of Imy school books,” the address said, | “that Sir” Walter Raleigh landed on a strip of territory that now forms a por- tion of the State of Virginia.” It happened that a copy of the ad- dress was read by Representative Lind- say C. Warren, whose North Carolina | district includes Roanoke Island, where | Sir Walter's three ill-fated colonies settled in the New World. Warren recalled that President | Roosevelt had accepted his invitation to speak at a Roanoke Island celebra- tion August 18 of the 350th anniver- sary of the disappearance of Sir Wal- ter’s famous “lost colony.” So Warren got busy. He telephoned Farley's office to call attention to the mistake. The time for the delivery of the address was drawing near. “The honor of North Carolina was at stake,” as Warren expressed it. So Special Assistant J. Austin Lati- mer was dispatched to Virginia in all haste with a “corrected” note which said in part: “I recalled from the pages of my school books that * * * Sir Walter Raleigh landed in North Carolina, then a part of Virginia.” Latimer made his way through the throng at the ceremony and thrust the ‘“correction” into Farley’s hands just before the Postmaster General began to speak. Reports vary as to whether Farley “landed” Sir Walter in North Carolina, as suggested by Warren, or in Virginia, in accordance with the prepared speech. Some listeners said Virginia, others North Carolina. Both would have been historically inaccurate. Sir Walter lost his head because of a visit to America, but it was South America. Queen Elizabeth expressly forbade him from personal participa- tion in his colonization projects in “Virginia,” then a vast undefined territory. Raleigh made two voyages to South America. The first, in 1595, was an “explora- tion,” described by historians as an actual search for an El Dorado, dur- which he sailed 400 miles up the Orinoco River in Venezuela. Sir Walter made his second voyage to the New World after Queen Eliza- beth’s death. He had promised to find a profitable gold mine for James I, who mis- trusted him. The Spaniards objected on the ground that Sir Walter was looking for their plate ships rather than an unexploited mine. Raleigh fell ill on the voyage and landed at Trinidad. His ships pro- ceeded to the mainland and his party encountered a Spanish colony. A fight ensued in which Raleigh’s son was killed. One of Raleigh's aides committed suicide. The expedition returned without the gold which Raleigh had promised his king, and an old sentence of death on a charge of treason was in- voked against the leader. Raleigh was beheaded before he had a chance to look at Virginia or North Carolina either. DIAMONDS Barsa in diamo; preeious stones and ‘ sewelry pilware e From tress e pawabrover sourses.

The return was brought into the case by Leming in developing the sec- ond of a series of transactions be- tween Du Pont and Raskob following the Wall Street panic in October, 1929, by which the two financiers in cross- sales established losses of approxi- mately $7,000,000, which they deduct- ed from their 1929 returns. The second cross-saie was effected on December 26. Raskob sold to Du Pont 5,000 shares of B. & O. at 115 and 14,000 shares of Anaconda Cop- per at 71 for a total of $1,569,000. Du Pont in turn sold 40,000 Warner Brothers at 39 for a total of $1,560,000. Raskob’s check was offered by Lem- ing and identified by Frank L. Garey, the financier’s secretary, who was on the stand for the third day. Leming then turned to January 27, 1930. handed Garey Raskob’s ledger, which showed that the 40,000 shares of War- ner was sold back to Du Pont for $2,020,000—a. profit of approximately $458,000 after the transfer taxes were paid. Leming then brought up another transaction between the two men, both of whom were prominent in the or- ganization of the American Liberty League and political associates of for- mer Gov. Alfred E. Smith, who has been subpoenaed by the Government as one of the witnesses in the hearing. This was the “short sale” ot 27.000 shares of Warner Bros. by Du Pont to Raskob on January 3, 1930, at 40, which was “covered” by Du Pont later in the month at 50—giving Raskob a profit of $270,000. Leming asked Garey If this trans- action was recorded in the ledger and the profit shown. The secretary replied in the affirmative. Although the 1930 return, when broken down, showed the profits taken by Raskob on the December 26 cross- sale and on the transaction involving FURNITURE AND FURNISHINGS, SILVERWARE, CHINA AND GLASS- WARE, ORIENTAL RUGS, ART OB- JECTS, ETC.

In addition to the total of $24,-| 115.56 on salaries and directors' fees. the return showed $387,709 in interest on bank deposits, $799,.416 dividends on stocks and $36,867 interest on bonds. The loss of $448900 was bal- anced off against these. In computing his deductions of | $867,263.54, Raskob listed interest paid out at $595444 and taxes paid at | approximately $271,800. Included in | the taxes was an item of $269,725.64 paid to the State of Delaware Leming would not disclose what further purpose he had in mind in introducing the return, if any. Its notations on the profits taken from the two transactions served as final link in establishing them—the exist- ence of which, counsel for Du Pont and Raskob have freely admitted from the beginning. They contend the sales were legitimately made, that the total losses established in the sales— in comparison with the peak values in securities ‘prevailing before the panic—were legally deductible from their taxes for 1929. This Leming does not deny, but he announced his intention of proving that the sales were fictitious “wash” sales, entered into for the sole purpose of establishing these losses, and ac- companied by an illegal agreement to repurchase in 1930. The December 26 cross-sale was ! small in comparison with the first of | the transactions between Du Pont and Raskob, on November 13. In this one Raskob sold stocks to Du Pont valued at $4.606,000 and Du Pont sold $4,- 582,750 worth to Raskob. These were repurchased on January 8 the following year, Raskob paying Du Pont $5,989,500 and Du Pont pay- ing Raskob $5,254,125. In the final accounting between the two, which the Government contends was made on January 31, 1930, Du Pont's sales and repurchases totaled $14,883,400 and Raskob's $14,883,354— leaving a difference, after more than $29,000,000 in checks had changed hands, of only $46. ‘The “short” sale of 27,000 Warner Bros. by Du Pont to Raskob was a separate transaction not included in the cross-sales of November 13 and December 26. While Col. Hartfleld went into action immediately when an effort was made to see the tax return filed with the clerk, Raskob himself sat placidly by a window, overlooking City Hall Park, talking with his tax counsel, Walter B. Orr. He had changed his suit for the first time in four days, abandoning the dark blue for a light brown. In fact, the day was a symphony in brown. Du Pont brought out the brown suit he had on Tuesday. Like Raskob, he had been wearing blue. Leming and James S. Y. Ivins, chief counsel for Du Pont, also broke out in brown. Du Pont came to the hearing room |= With Ivins and other members of his |= staff of attorneys. While the at- torneys carried only their brief cases, Du Pont was helping several attend- ants, carrying one of a half dozen large filing cases. Du Pont and Raskob obtained a sev- erance of their cases, Du Pont’s being tried first. He sits at the table sur- rounded by attorneys, going over at | recesses to talk with Raskob, his close friend for many years. Leming, in examining Garey yester- day, made much of the evidence that a note for $1,000,000—given to Du Pont by Rafkob in payment for the 27,000 shares of Warner Brothers stock, |which Du Pont repurchased, “cover- ing” at 50 when he sold at 40—could | not be found in Raskob's papers. On the cross-examination today, | Ivins asked: “Did you make a thorough search for the note after receiving the Gov- | ernment’s subpoena?” | “I did.” Garey replied. pursue the item of the “lost” $1,080,~ 000 note later, intimating they be- lieved the “short” which Du Pont and Raskob deductible losses.

C. Subgroup Over- rules Commission in Resolution 0.K. Overruling the National Park Serv- ice and the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, a Senate District Subcommittee late yesterday voted in favor of naming the four drives in the Mall, from Third to Fourteenth streets, after the States of Maine, Missouri, Ohio and Okla- homa. ‘The subcommittee approved a reso- lution already passed by the House to give the Mall driveways these names. The decision followed a hear- ing at which members of ‘the House and Senate from the four States sup- ported the resolution. The Park and Planning Commission had recommended that the drives be named after the first four Presidents— Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison—and the Secretary of the Interior, who has jurisdiction over the National Park Service, had accepted that recommendation. Arno B. Cammerer, director of the National Park Service and executive officer of the Park and Planning body, and Thomas S. Settle, secretary of the Park and Planning Commission, agreed that the four States mentioned should have streets or avenues bear- ing their names in Washington, the same us other States. They explained, however, the view- point of the agencies that streets out- side the Mall park area should be named after States, and apply to the Mall driveways the names of the Presidents identified with the Con- stitution and early history of the National Government. The congressional delegations from Maine, Missouri and Ohio contended that avenues bearing the names of those States had existed in the area between the Capitol and the Washing- ton Monument but had to give way to the Pennsylvania avenue-Mall tri- angle building program. Mr. Cammerer read from letters written in the past by Frederic A. Delano, chairman of the Park and Planning Commission, and by J. C. Nichols of Kansas City, Mo., a member of that commission, to members of Congress, setting forth their reasons for supporting the recommendations of the park authorities. The subcommittee consisted of Senators Reynolds, Democrat, of North Carolina, Hitchcock, Democrat, of South Dakota, and Bridges, Re- publican, of New Hampshire. Sy SAILS MAY 19 S. S.

Speaking before a dinner meeting of the Department of Government and Legal Status of Women of the local chapter at the American Asso- ciation of University Women head- quarters, the Georgia Representative said chances for repeal of the measure are slight unless pressure on members of Congress by their constituents is greatly increased. His address also was heard by many delegates to the national league con- vention, who remained here after their three-day session ended yester~ day at the Washington Hotel. The national league is strongly opposed to the “marriage clause.” Mrs. William Kittle, president of the local organization, opened a short business session and talked briefly on the subject for the meeting, “Married ‘Women and Their Jobs.” Mrs. Pearl Klein, chairman of the department, introduced the speakers. Besides Representative Ramspeck, they included Mrs. Pittman Potter, Geneva representative of the natione al league, who discussed women'’s ore ganizations over the world as repre= sented in Geneva; Mrs. Edith Valet Cook, chairman of the national de- partment ot government and legal status of women, and Miss Mary Anderson, chief of the Women's Bu= reau of the Labor Department, who talked on the “Industrial Woman's Need of a Job.” At the close of the meeting the group indorsed a proposal to establish a citizens’ service exchange in the District to relieve unemployment through a “self-help” program. ‘Washington Round Table.
