WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. Brokers
ire handing around among them
selves for a laugh New York Curb
Market Listing Bulletin No. 174. It Is
a prize antique
of the pre-de-presslon
era.
The current
mirthful signifi
cance lies In the
mention therein
of the name of
Franklin D.
Roosevelt as a di
rector of the
C o n soil dated
Automatic Mer
chandising Cor
p o r a t ion. The
r MALLON bulletin Is an ap
plication for .listing the stock of that
corporation. It Is dated August 8.
1928.
Four pages cf hopes for profits are
climaxed on page five of the bulletin
by a detailed citation of expected
earnings each year for ten years. For
Instance, the bulletin shows that, this
year, the company expected to earn
$2,017,360 from penny weighing ma
chines; 8850.000 from penny gum
sales; 608.702 from postage stamp
machines, and $15,300,000 from gen
eral machine merchandising (candles,
gum, etc.).
Any Investor could pencil the total
vp to a grand $18,776,262. which Is a
lot of pennies and nickels.
What roll the hard-hearted brok
ers on the noor Is to read thla ac
counting of unhatched pennlea in the
light of the subsequent fate of the
corporation. The proflta were not to
be. Borne pennies must have stuck
In the machines.
' On July 3, 1934, the southern dis
trict court In New York approved pe
tition filed by the ottering .broker.
T. J. Llsman and company, and the
General Vending Corporation (an al
most wholly owned subsidiary) for re
lief under section 17B of the bank
ruptcy act. Twenty days later the
court entered a decree continuing
each corporation In possession of Its
respective assets. (Moody's Industrial
Manual, 1035 edition).
Thla subject is aupposed to have
been vaguely mentioned by someone
during the last campaign. At that
time It developed that Director
Roosevelt had about as much to do
with It as the average corporate direc
tor JUBt a little more than nothing.

fearing their fun.

CALLED BRIBERY
IN AAAJEARING
Ex-Senator Pepper 'Declares
Farmer Sells Freedom
For 'Mess Of Pottage'
In Control Contracts.
By JAMES W. POTT THAT
(Aasociated Press Staff Writer.)
WASHINGTON. Dec. 10. (.T) New
deal fflim subsidies were denounced
as bribery and robbery today in argu
ment before the supreme court.
Challenglns the constitutionality of
the AAA, former Senator Oeorge
Wharton Pepper (R.. Pa.) contended
the government "offeta a pecuniary
award to the farmer who can't afford
to decline It.
"He sella hla freedom for a mess
of pottage and sella his allegiance to
the states."
At another point, expounding the
position of the Hoosac Mills of Massa
chusetts, the lawyer contended the
processing taxes meant "robbing
Peter the processor to pay Paul, the
producer."
Court Room Quiet.
The nine Justices listened In silence
for the most part. The thronged
courtroom waa attll. Solid toy Gen
eral Stanley Reed watted for a final
few words before the case would go
to the guarded conference room of
the court for final declalon.
Belittling the polls of farmera to
determine whether they should con
tinue the crop control plan and re
cede benefits, Pepper likened these
to a count of "college students aa to
whether the allowances from their
fathers should be continued. "
Hla voice filled with emotion, he
concluded with a fervid expression of
hope that "the land of the regiment
ed" may never "be accepted as a
worthy substitute for the land of the
free."
While Red made notes for hla re
buttal. JDdword R. Hale of Boat -m. for
the Hooaae side, expounded Its con
tention that the AAA comprised an
improper delegation of authority of
congress.
Masquerade as Tax.
The processing levlea. Pepper had
declared, are "regulatory exactions
masquerading aa a tax"
"The tax la regulatory, he Insisted,
"and doesn't even have to foMow the
formula prescribed by the law."
Only processing taxes are directly
Involve! In the ease, but the court
of appeals at Boston held h entire
act unconstitutional.
Pepper contended one AAA purpose
waa "expansion of the markets." and
likened that to "rigging the market."
Reed methodically pencilled notes.
Their debate occupied the time un
til mid-afternoon, when the turn of
the Bank head compulsory cotton lim
itation plan had precedence.
