Raskob Denies Short Selling in GM Trades Before Senate Panel
Democratic national committee chairman John J. Raskob faced charges of selling General Motors stock short, which he denied strongly. Counsel William A. Gray cited 40,000 shares short in 1928 and 58,000 in 1927 while Raskob claimed only two technical occasions. The hearing mixed politics with finance as witnesses described stock pools and campaign-fund questions.
