FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1930. GRAIN COMMITTEE RESUMING PROBE Congressional Group o Tovesti- gate Soviet Trading New York, Sept. 26 (UP)—The congressional committee investigat- ing communist activities returned to New YorK today to learn what part New York brokers played in the soviet wheat selling operations on the Chicago bodrd of trade. Hamilton Fish, chgirmen, an- nounced that members of three New York brokerage houses which have been handling soviet. orders would be questioned in an effort to dis- cover if the transactions were part of a scheme to depress the price of American wheat, as charged by Sec- retary of Agriculture Hyde. The three firms named by Fish were J. S. Bache and Company; Wachsman & Wassall; and A. Mor- den & Co. Bache and company re- garded as the biggest stock, bond, grain and cotton house in Wall street, is_the only one of the three belonging to the New York stock’ exchange. / Start This Afternoon ‘The committee’s first hearing was #cheduled for this afternoom with five witnesses under subpoena, but the wheat selling investigation will not begin until tomorrow. Representatives of the three con- cerns will be questioned as to the source of their orders and what con- nection, ¥ any, they had with the dissemination of soviet propaganda. Hyde said Russia had sold 7,500,- 000 bushels of what short. New York brokers are believed to have handled only a comparatively small part of the orders, but an effort will be made to learn if there was any violation of the federal law re- | quiring brokers to inform the de- partment of agriculture when daily sales or purchases of wheat exceed 500,000 bushels. Phe witnesses in_the wheat-selling fnvestigation will be: Harold L. Bache, William W. Cohen, and Adolph E. Norden, rep- resentatives respectively of the three [ brokerage houses; E. Y. Belitzky, treasurer, and E. V. Kadik, vice president of the All-Russian Textile syndicate which sold the wheat, Basile Delgrass, former vice presi- dent of the Amtorg Trading Cor- poration; and Walter White, secre- tary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Continuance or Inquiry Today's hearing was a continu- anco of the inquiry into methods and means of spreading soviet pro- paganda. Those under subpoena to appear were: Ellis Searles, editor of the United Mine Workers’ Journal; George Djamgaroff, president of the A. B. C. News rvice; Aaron Kopman, «former representative of the Inter- national Paper and Power company; Major Frank Pease of the Holly- wood Technical Directors’ associa- tion; and Massaye J. Olgin, editor of the Morning Freiheit. Little Effect On Market Chicago, Sept. 26 (UP)—Reports ©of Russian activities in the wheat markets, which were held partly re- sponsible for wild fluctuations earlier in the week, had little effect yester- day on the wheat exchange here and traders apparently have lost inter- est in charges of Soviet short sell- ing made by Secretary of Agriculture Hyde. In the face of reports.from Wash- ington concerning the Russian sales and of an investigation of these re- ports by the business conduct com- mittee of the board¢of trade, wheat opened comparatively strong, react- ed, rallied and close about even with Wednesday's finish. At the close, wheat was 1-2 higher to 1-4 cents lower. Other grains al- g0 remained about even. The business conduct_committee, which holds its sessions in secret, planned to resume its investigation of charges by Hyde that Soviet Rus- sia had driven down American wheat prices by heavy short selling.
