Details of the plan weré announc- ed yesterday after the brewery pro- perty on Windsor street, built &3 years ago at a cost of $316,000, was bought at auction for $28,100 by Howell's representatives who nounced that the corporation will | reopen the brewery as soon as re- pairs have been made.

WOMEN DEMOCRATS | | | DEMAND LODING FOR STOCK PROBE Republicans Fear Manipulation to Discredit Hoover Regime Washington, Oct. 18 (UP)—New demands for an investigation of the New York Stock Exchange appeared ikely vesterday to result from the view of some republicans that the market is being manipulated to dis- credit t* . Hoover administration. The possibility of such manipula tion has heen a subject of discu sion among republicans ever since Rep. Will Wood, Ind., openly charg- ed it last spring. The advisability of an inquiry in- to the charges was discussed by re- publican leaders at that time, but nothing came of it. The topic is now being .revived among some party leaders. New demands for regulation of market speculation also are expected to be made in the next congress as a result of recent developments. The conference last Sunday between President Hoover and heads of the stock exchange has stirred private discussion of this subject. The senate at the last session &u- thorized an investigation of the na- | tional banking and federal reserve | systems. This is expected to inc!\ldc‘ some phases of stock market oper- | ations. Glass Heads Group Senator Carter Glass, dem., Va., | former secretary of the treasury, was appointed chairman of a sub- committe to conduct this inquiry. Glass has indicated his committee November. Some republicans an independent investigation. ator Simeon D. Fess, rep. Ohio, |chairman of ‘the republican na- |tional committee, is understood to |oppose this, although he recently sald some of his party leaders werc disturbed that the market has shown a tendency to drop after every op- timistic statement from the admin | istration. | Jouett Shouse. chairman of the democratic national executive com- | mittee, issued a statement vesterday | commenting on Fess' intimation that the democrats were pushing the market down. | “Perhaps the next invention along this line,” Shouse said, “will be that the democrats plotted and connived [to effect the enactment of the |Grundy tariff and the Hoover farm | relief plan in order that they might | turther discredit President Hoover | before the people by charging these achievements to his administration.” are desirous of Sen- HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS HILL FORCED T0 .
