SENSATIONAL VALUE Livingstdn St. on Chicago Exchange Continued from Pane 1 Its announced purpose was to acquire stock in Insull companies. He was handed a minute book of the Investment Trust to refresh his memory. Going through it pabes, Insull said the company was incorporated with 200 shares at no par value and was authorized to issue 250.000 shares of prior preferred stock, 250.000 shares of preferred and 3.000.000 common stock, all without par value. The 200 shares, 40,000 shares of preferred and 764.000 shares of common were distributed first, he said, the 200 to directors for cash and the remainder to the members of the Insull family in exchange for securities.

Family Put l'p $8,752,000 Insull said he. his father, mother and uncle, Martin Insull. put up securities In Insull companies at their then market value. "At what gross value?" Pecora asked. "The value of the securities advanced by my father, mother and myself I can answer for my uncle was $8,752,000 on Jan.

11, 1929," Insull replied. At the time of the receivership, Insull added, they still had in the company, "to shaw we did not unload." Insull said the price paid by members of the family was $7.54 per share. Sold 60,000 Shares Insull said 60,000 shares were sold to Halsey Stuart a Chicago investment house, at $100 share, which were sold to the public at that price. Some of the 764,000 shares of common stock also were given to Halsey Stuart, he said. The preferred stock acquired by the Insull family, the witness continued, entitled it to buy 200,000 shares of common at $15 a share, which rights were exercised Dec.

31, 1929. Samuel Insull was given an additional control to buy 250.000 shares of common stock at $12 a share, young Insull testified. "He contracted to purchase it or have it acquired by other people," he added. Instead of buying it, he testified, Insull Sr. sold the stock at $12 to others before It was listed on the Exchange.

Identifies List of Buyers Insull said he did not have the list of persons to whom the stock was sold, but identified a- photostat handed him by Pecora. It was a list formerly made public In Chicago. "Do you know anyone on that list holding or formerly holding public office?" Pecora asked. He named Samuel A Ettelson, who was listed for 250 shares, as a former Corporation Counsel, but said he did not know whether he was in office at that time The list included Young for 4.000 shares, and William A. Pox, Gerard Bwope and South Trimble, clerk of the House of Representatives, for varying amounts.

Insull did not mention Trimble to the committee. He did mention L. E. Myers, who. he said, was associated with his father in business and was at one t'me head of the School Board.

$30 for Share on First Day The only shares outstanding when trading in the stock opened, Insull said, were those issued to the Insull family and Halsey Stuart. Insull said his "impression" was the stock sold for $30 a share on the first day it was traded in on the Chicago Stock Exchange Jan. 17. 1929. Pecora pointed out that the family, less than three weeks before, had paid but $7.54 per share.

Pecora asked if the stock did not sell for 40 on the second day of trading. Insull said the next he remembered was 42 in June. Double In Value Those who bought the 250.000 shares at $12 paid a total of Pecora said, while on the first day of trading they were worth $7,500,000. Later. Insull said, the stock reached 147 for 149 In July or August.

"How low did It go?" he was asked. "It was down to a nominal value of $1 or $2 a share," Insull replied. "But It didn't go below 100 in 1929," Pecora added. Slfned Contract Day of Sale Insull agreew with a statement by Pecora that the contract between his father and the company for acquiring the 250.000 shares at $12 was signed on the same day the stock was opened on the market at $30. Pecora asked If Halsey-Stuart had not acquired large blocks of storks at far below $30.

"Yes." Insull replied, "but not from the corporation." Halsey-Stuart were on the list of $12 purchasers, Pecora said. He asked what impelled Insull Sr. to sell to Halsey-Stuart. replied that the investment house bought $6,000,000 of debentures at par value and a large block of stock at $12 a share, all of which had been sold to the public at the game price. Surprised at Price "Were there any syndicates or pools to boost the price of these stocks to such high prices?" Brook-'hart asked.

"Not that I know of," the witness replied. None of us knew It was going to sell at anything like $30 a share." "You thought it was excessive?" "Yes: we thought It was high. My guess was it would go to about $20 a share In a few months." Value Questioned Brook wanted to Jcnow the itork was worth $149. -I don't know." Insull said. "You did nothing to vara tha Port Authority and tne United States Chamber of Commerce today put themselves on reco-d in favor of the creation of "free ports" In American harbors as an aid to shipping.

Testifying before a Huse Ways and Means subcommittee in favor i of a bill Introduced by Representa- tlve Emanuel Celler of Brooklyn this morning, spokesman for these organizations stated that these "free ports" were universally favored by business interests. "I can think of no business interest In this country that hasn't put itself on record in favor of this or similar legislation in the past decade," Frank S. Davis, representing the Maritime Association of the Boston Chamber of Commerce and the Boston Port Authority, told the committee. feller Define Free Port Congressman Celler, the first witness before -the subcommittee, of which Representative Thomas H. Cullen of Brooklyn is chairman, defined a "free port" as a restricted area without any residential population where merchandise can be imported without payment of customs.

Import duties would be paid only on such part of the merchandise as left the restricted zone and entered into domestic commerce. None would be paid on other merchandise which was rexhipped to foreign nations. The New York Port Authority, which was represented at the hearing by Walter P. Heddon, chief of its Bureau of Commerce, is anxious to establish such a trading zone in Staten Island and to bring into use piers now practically idle the committee was told. Representative William F.

Brun-ner of Queens, another witness before the committee, declared himself heartily in favor of the legislation and asked that the Jamaica Bay district where the Federal Government and New York City have spent millions of dollars in harbor im provements be constituted as one of the "free ports." Charles Losure of the Unite States Chamber of Commerce presented the committee with a brief drafted by the Chamber, expressing itself in hearty accord with the legislation. The hearings continued this afternoon with represet natives of the New York City administration, the United States Shipping Board and other port interests as witnesses.

The blaze started when a landing flare was knocked over accidentally. The sudden burst of flame from the magnesium ribbon ignited the canvas of a Stinson Junior monoplane owned by Arthur Loew, son of the late Marcus Loew. The Stinson was In the middle of a new brick hangar on the north side of the field. The flames spread toward other planes nearby as pilots and mechanics tried to push machines to safety.

Exploding gasoline tanks gave impetus to the blaze, and by the time firemen arrived the building was a mass of flames and smoke. Eventually the roof of the hangar collapsed and the blaze was under control. Two of the seven planes were owned by Mr. Loew, two by Amphibians, and one each by Bertram Work, John Trunk and Fred Winkler. Among the planes rescued was the Henry Popper rotating spindle ship, which was given a test flight some months ago.
