In half an hour he was waving before the eyes of startled senators cancelled checks payable to newspaper financial writers La Guardia charged and offered the checks and other material as evidence that financial writers had accepted gratuities in exchange for ballyhoo stories which boomed stocks brought in the suckers to purchase and made promoters rich.
