Washington. A dramatic tale of growing suspicion as Ivar Kreuger, sick and possibly out of his mind, saw his gigantic financial empire crumble away and approached his tragic end was unfolded today with the resumption of the senate's inves tigation of stock market practices. Earlier the banking committee, conducting the inquiry, had been told that while the match king lay in Paris, dead by his own hand, heavy foreign holdings of Kreuger & Toll securities were unloaded before word of the suicide was given to the pub ic. It was informed, too, that Amer ican inverters. had lost some 20 mil lion dollars in a single issue of Kreu ger & Toll bonds on which inferior collateral had been substituted for sound securities, and heard an asser tion that the New York Stock Ex change approved the agreement un der which this wa3 possible. A .Vivid Portrayal. But committee members and spec tators leaned forward, more than ever intent, when A. D. Birning of the New York, accounting firm of Ernest & : Ernst took, the stand and describ ed .his, deaijngs with Kreuger in the last two weeks of the financier'3 life. He gave a vivid portrayal of Kreu ger as he appeared when seeking to avert by manipualtions and evasive statements the nemesis which was closing in upon him. He then told how he conferred with Kreuger in New York on Febru ary 28, 1932 less than two weeks bfeore the Swedish financier commit ted suicide in the French capital, and was greatlp' puzzled at the confused replies given to his questions as to the whereabouts of 50 million dol lars of German bonds of the Inter national Match company. The witness testified he communi cated his "doubts" to Donald Durant, partner in Lee, Higginson & Co., which handled the Kreuger secur ities in this country, the next morn ng. In the meantime, a checkup by cablegram, he said had proved Kreu- ger's story that the bonds were in Berlin to be false.

Personal Fouls are the Result of Body Contact Single Exception Is Case of Face Guarding Most Games Won or Lost as Result of Fouling Previous articles have discussed infractions of the rules causing the frequent whistle blowing by the ref eree. Violations and technical fouls were explained and many listed. Per sonal fouls, the last but not least in importance, will be considered to day. uneoreucany basketball is a "no contact game." However, it is quite obvious that personal contact can not be entirely avoided when ten players are moving with great speed over a limited playing area. If per sonal contact results from a bona fide attempt to play the ball; that is, when players are in such positions that they could reasonably expect to gain the ball without contact; and if they use due care to avoid con tact; then, such contact may be class ed as accidental and 'not penalized. A personal foul is an infraction of the rules, the penalty being one or more free throws for the basket; and the fourth offense automatically re moves the offending player from fur ther play in that game. Personal fouls are the result of personal con tact with the one exception of "face guarding." The personal foul rule is intended to prevent the most flag rant fouls in the game and tends to eliminate the rough play which is bound to occur in a game of speed. The officials should rule strictly on these points in order to keep the game moving smoolhly and under control. Some of the most common of these personal fouls are: 1. Holding. 2. Tripping. 3. Charging. 4. Rushing. 5. Blocking. 6. Hacking (striking arms of a player in act of shooting or passing). 2. Tripping. 7. Face guarding. 8. Interference with an opponent when jumping at center or held ball. 9. Unnecessary roughness of any nature. Two free throws are awarded the offended player if he was fouled while in the act of.shootjng for the goal and in. case the basket was misl ed. If the goal is made, it counts'biit only one free throw is awarded. Only one free throw is awarded for fouls committed under other conditions.' A double foul may be called (one on each team) in which case only one free throw is awarded each team, Playing time is stopped as soon as a foul is called and the watch is start ed again when the ball leaves the player's hands on the last free throw awarded. In the case of a double foul when the ball is tossed up at center jump. Statistics compiled over several hundred games show the average number of fouls committed by the winning team to be 8, the average fouls committed by -the losing team 10. .Almost two-thirds of the games played that are closely contested will be won or lost via the free throw route as a result of fouling.

The resolution may as large number of specific provisions prevented final approval. The way in which the house ap- proved section after section, how- ever, indicated the bill is on its way to passage. Besides reducing all mile- age fees it would also closely regu- late the payment of mileage of de- parlment and institution heads to prevent unauthorized charges. Substitutes Rejected. The only serious difficulty during discussions of the mileage charges came over a proposal to cut the al- lowance to county sheriffs in serving papers 10 o cenis ior aciuai mue- age and requiring them to serve a number of papers on each trip rath- er than each summons separately. Feelings were ruffled several times during the debate. To a suggestion of practical difficulties in dividing sher iff's charges, Representative Tren- more Cone (dem.) of Valley, sponsor of the bill, charged that the "Doug las county sheriff makes as much as the president of the United States' A proposal of Representative B W. Sheldon (dem.) of Ogallala to al low sheriffs 10 cents a mile because they have to conduct investigations without mileage, and a substitute proposal for 6-cent mileage by Rep Steuteville resentative John H. (dem.) of Bridgeport both were re Jected. Numerous Candidates Told. Representative W. J. Williams (rep.) of Cedar Bluffs urged the re duction, calling the sheriff's Job In Saunders county "the best job in the county, He said the sheriff alto- gether made 17,500 last year. Others pointed to the large number of can didates for sheriff in their counties as proof of a needed reduction. The house dropped the bill until Wednesday, it authorized sheriffs to be paid 5 cents a mile on all official duties, instead of just for serving papers. World-Herald.
