QUARTER-FINAL MUD BOUT TODAY
Big Shot1 Plungers
In Grain Markets
Will Be Revealed
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. (UP.)— The senate appropriations
committee promised today to make public the names of
federal officials who allegedly are “big-shot plungers” on
the grain market. ' ■
Chairman Styles Bridges? R., N. H., said the committee
will summon Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson
and demand that he turn over a list of major speculators
in the commodity market. •
The committee revealed yesterday during its hearing
into the commodity holdings of Edwin W. Pauley, million-
aire. special assistant to. the secre-
tary of army, thg^ it already has
made one unseccesstul attempt to
get the list. '3. lit' Mehl, adminis-

authority, refused to hand it over

sources.
As head of the agriculture de-
partment, Anderson is-fifeht’s su-
perior. The disputed list contains
the names of dealer', holding more,
than 200.000 bushels of grain on
the exchanges.
At the outset of the Pauley hear-
