Mart Probers Are Warned By Humphrey Investigation May Shake Confidence WASHINGTON (INS) — Treasury secretary George M. Humphrey warned the. senate banking committee today that its Wall Street investigation may shake confidence in the American economy unless the inquiry is limited. Humphrey sounded what he called “one word of caution" on the heels of a 10 billion dollar drop in stock values which began last week after committee witnesses charged there was “too much" speculation in Wall Street. The cabinet officer said he was not recommending termination of the hearings, which began March 3, but urged the committee to restrict its questions to matters of fact and not speculate on what the government might or might not do. Humphrey called this “a new phenomenon in our national life.” He explained that small savings are being invested not only in individual purchases, but also through pension funds and other group investments. The treasury secretary said: “What it means is that millions of people working in industry today have $5 or $lO or ' some such amount deducted from each pay check for their future retirement, and a good share of that goes into stocks and bonds. “They often do not realize it, but these small savings multiply into hundreds of millions of dollars of security purchases, which is making millions of people investors in Amfbicm industry wlm had never thought of doing it before.” The senate committee, headed by Sen. J. William Fulbright (D -Ark), is investigating the stock boom to determine if it might be similar to conditions before the 1929 crash. uled for city court this afternoon at 1:30 p m. when Fred Engle, 66, of Decatur/ will appear.
