Mr. Chairman, we have prepared certain charts show­ ing the range of the market as to certain pivotal stocks over a period of time, and at the same time showing upon these charts the short position from day to day so that a comparison can be made.

K e n n e y , E s q ., Manayunh, Philadelphia, Pa. D e a s Sir: With reference to your letter of April 9, 1932, the correspondence with you has turned so specifically to the relations between yourself and your brokers in connection with the separate agreement covering the loaning oi stocks which they have requested you to sign that the committee on business conduct feels that further communication with you can be more intelligently carried on if it is given an opportunity to inquire into the facts. Will you not please supply the name of your brokers for this purpose? Yours very truly, L . R . H a r r is o n , Secretary of the committee. P hiladelphia , P a ., April 19, 1932. M r . L . R . H a k r is o n , Secretary Committee on Business Conduct, Newi Yorh Exchange, New York City. D e a r S ir : With reference to your letter of yesterday, I am gratified to know that your committee will inquire into the facts of the case. I am, therefore, inclosing a brief outline of my side of the controversy, which I trust you will consider in making the inquiry. Upon receipt of a request for me to sign a loan-authorization form, I noti­ fied my brokers, E. W. Clark & Co., Sixteenth and Locust Streets, Philadelphia, Pa., that I preferred not to do so. I fully explained my position to the cus­ tomer’s man with whom I did business, Mr. John A. Murphy. I told him I was entirely willing to sign an agreement whereby I would authorize the loan­ ing of any of my securities to any of the firm’s customers, to avoid buy ins, etc. But in the event that any of my securities were loaned through the “ loan crowd ” or other brokers, I would expect to receive a fair portion of any pre­ miums collected. I further stated that I felt I should obtain some benefit from the lower interest charges on stocks loaned. (My brokers have increased their monthly interest charges very regularly—the rate was increased three-fourths per cent in October, 1931; an extra one-fourth per cent in November, 1931; still another one-fourth per cent in December, 1931, and on April 1 added still another one-half per cent to the T a te .) About the same time I fully explained my feeling to the manager of the board room, Mr. Graham Dougherty, and told him in effect the same thing. About a week later I received a letter, which I considered the equivalent of a demand to sign such an authorization as written. Some days later the firm notified me (March 29) as follows: “ We are sorry to inform you that we can no longer carry in your account $5,000 Central Zone Bonds 6’s of 1936, as there is no actual bid for the bonds. As of the close of business to-night, your account is undermargined to the extent of $200, and we would appreciate an immediate response. Very truly yours, E. W. C l a r k & Co., Per A. P. Z o o k . The above letter contained a postscript: “ Kindly sign and return to us the inclosed loan authorization letter. I spoke to the margin clerk, Mr. Allen Zook, upon receipt of this letter and told him my figures showed that after the 5,000 bonds in question were elimi­ nated my account was not undermargined.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
