Gold Operations Club The Dollar To New Low Level
Washington reports the administration watched its gold operations club the dollar drop to a record low and add another dime to the price it will pay for the meal mined in the United States. London dispatches described a steep drop in the dollar against the pound opening near 4.94 and extending to 5.01, while gold prices in London fell.

Raskob Explains Stock Move Under Smite Inquiry
John J. Raskob testifies before Senate investigators about a 1929 syndicate stop account with Alfred F. Smith. He says 220 shares were solid and the group formed to steady County Trust stock after the president James J. Riordan’s death. The syndicate bought Alt94 shares for 916,609 and ended November 15, 1932 with loan repayment to Chase National Bank. Smith claims directors of County Trust formed the pool to buy their own stock and denies gambling in the market. Also Arthur Cutten cites a Sinclair Consolidated Oil pool profit of over 12 million in 1929 funded partly by a Chase loan.
