NEW YORK. July 21— Sale of
worthless stocks, including many Alas
kan and western oil companies, are to
be* investigated by the districj attor
ney’s office assisted by federal agents
It is believed the investigation will uti*
earth millions of dollars in frauds. As
sistant Attorney Waugh says the in
vestigation results from numerous
complaints.
According to Mr. Waugh unscmp
uious brokers have taken advantage
of the recent boom in southwestern
oil fields to the extent of selling stock
in oil companies that neyer existed or
have never producted oil. Brokers un
known to the trade appeai-ed on the
curb shortly after the first of the year
and offered stock for sale.
“Under the present system cover
ing curb selling anyone offering stock,
for sale can get the listed*” Mr.
Waugh said . “People who are inclined
to take fliersN>n the curb market read
the listings and put their money into
oil stocks. After these brokers make
a killing they vanish.
“It is intended to enlist the coop
eration of the legitimate brokers in
a movement to get rules adopted for
the curb which will make it impossible
for wildcat brokers to come in over
night and sell fake stocks.” v
