LACK OF PROTECTION FOR

SEGREGATION OF BROKERAGE
AND I'NKERWHITING TALKED
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. The most
dramatic happenings In the capital
are frequently the least conspicuous.
Long struggles such as the battle be
tween the New York stock exchange
and the New Deal take place In the
very center of the public stage. And
then, when the struggles end. the
Incidents which excitingly symbolize
the new reign of peace are little no
ticed or not seen at all.
Such an Incident, and a remark
ably Interesting one. Is the composi
tion of the securities and exchange
commission's report on the case of
Richard Whitney. There was a head
line the other day, reminding the
public that Whitney had Just fin
ished his fourth month at Sing
Sing. But there was no headline In
dicating that the vitally Important
report on his doings Is being pre
pared In sensible cooperation be
tween those former enemies, the
stock exchange and the 8EO.
The report has now reached second
dralt form. As it stands, It la in
three parts the first, comprising
the evidence taken at the SEC's
Whitney hearings; the second, a
summary of that evidence telling
the story in connected form; and
the third, a list of recommendations
by the SEO. .
In the old days, the Whitney case
would have been accepted by the
whole SEC as a god-given opportunity
to impose It will on the exchange.
There are still some SEC hot-heads
who would have used the report to
pillory the entire financial commu
nity. But the wiser counsels of
Chairman William O. Douglas, who
believes in keeping the peace once
It has been made, have rather natu
rally prevailed. The report glosses
over nothing; pulls no punches. But,
on the other hand, It burns no
witches, and call for no crusades.
Obviously, the two significant parts
of the reports are the second and

and the witness agreed public funds
are being used Indirectly to promote
communism in the United States.
The witness declared the communist
party controla the Workers' Alliance,
an organization which has some WPA

"The worker Alliance Is apparently
playing the WPA to the limit, trying
to get the WPA workers to believe
they can get them more pay monthly,"
the witness asserted.
"It la controlled by the communist
party to further It program, but
the huge majority of alliance mem
bers have no Idea It Is controlled
by the party."
Claim Recognition
Challlaux said the alliance mem
bership book claimed "we are recog
nized as a collective bargaining agent
by the WPA and local relief agen
cies." He remarked David Laaser, head of
the alliance, claimed not to be a

he would say the League for Peace
and Democracy was a communist
organization, Challlaux declared he

munist party leader, that It was.
Mason gave the opinion the league
was being used by the communist
party "to further It own Interest."

Challlaux asserted the League for
