‘U.S. Owned by 60 Rich Families,” Writer States Blames Them for Crash

Rockefellers Put at Head of List by Ferdinand Lundberg ; New Deal Held Unsuccessful in Checking ‘Clans of Wealth.’

NEW YORK, Nov. 2 (U. P.).—Sixty families who “own and dominate the United States are listed and the ramifications of their activities in the various fields of human endeavor discussed at length in a book published today by Ferdinand Lundberg, former Wall Street financial writer, At the outset Mr. Lundberg i in “America’s Sixty Families,” published by Vanguard Press: “The United States is owned andl | dominated today by a hierarchy of 60 of the richest families, buttressed by no more than 90 families of lesser wealth. Under their acquisitive fingers and in their possession the 60 families hold the richest nation ever fashioned in the workshop of history.” Mr. Lundberg lists the 60 families, the number of tax returns in each, the primary source of wealth, aggregate 1924 tax, approximate net aggregate income taxed, net aggregate fortune taxed, gross adjusted fortune and maximum estimated fortune.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Washington only a

cession and the stock market crash have hit the Administration a broadside blow. And the first result has been to accentuate the division of counsel among the various commissions and groups which administer the New Deal. The whole disturbance centers around the bewilderment respecting the widely advertised and obviously flat capital markets. For six months it. has been apparent that capital was not moving into business. And as the summer departed there was a general realization by business and by Washington that there was trouble in the wind. Business—or rather the highly organized and vocal part of it which centers in Wall Street—has been making use of the crisis to drive through its pet projects. And it has been making notable advances. Those pet projects are (1) reduction of stock margins; (2) relaxation of the curbs on the trading of corporation executives; (3) repeal of the capital-gains tax; (4) repeal of the corporation undistributed-sur-plus tax; (5) a halt on the extension of TVA projects, and (6) a milder policy with reference to the Utility Holding Company Act. Balancing the budget might be included in this; but as a matter of

Buying was brisk and all interests were engaged in the trade. Heavy receipts, 294 cars, failed to dampen the bullish enthusiasm over the crop loan news. Wheat displayed persistent weakness even in the face of the bull movement in corn. There was small rallying power in the leading cereal, but not enough to erase early losses. Wheat receipts were five cars.

An air of

New Dealers who stoutly resist any concessions, but they seem to be very much on the outside of the President's counsels, Already the big concession on margins has been made. This was | done with great secrecy so as to! prevent any of the liberal groups | near the President from even hearing about it until it was too late. Now reports are that the capitalgains tax and the corporation surplus tax are to be greatly modified. At the same time the most powerful pressure is beiag brought to bear to permit insiders to trade in their own stocks. The conservatives see that the President is in a frightened | mood and is in a state of mind for concessions, and they are pressing the advantage. Among conservative elements a large and influential section believe that the business turn has completely changed the whole situation and put into their hands a golden opportunity to get the President's ear and his good will. From al! this it is now perfectly clear that the struggle to the death within the Administration between the staunch New Dealers and the pragmatic politicians and businessmen has definitely begun.

this year, but a relatively mediocre | third quarter showing pared the | percentage gain over 1936 to the |

smallest year-to-year figure in four | years. A United Press tabulation dis-

closed that the first 193 corporations

—including small and giant organ- | izations — had combined third quarter profits of $386,039,079, com- | pared with $336,503,405 for the cor- | responding 1936 period, a gain of | 14.7 per cent. The first 219 corporations reporting for the nine months had aggregate profit of $1,342973711, against |: $1,158,752,500 in the 1936 period, an | increase of 15.9 per cent. Although the profits represented new period peaks for years, the per- | centage increases in both instances | were the smallest compared with pre- |

vious corresponding periods since the recovery movement got undei= way. The decelerated pace has been at- | tributed by economists to: 1. Increased raw material and labor costs. 2. Excessive inventories built up early in the vear when prices were around the recovery peaks. 3. Sharply increased taxes, arising from the Social Security Act. 4. Consumer resistance to price | increases in some lines. 5. The diminishing rate of Fed- | eral expenditures for both durable and consumers goods. 6. Declining stock market bring- | ing some caution.
