Homer Collyer's Stock Exchange Body Discovered To Close April 4 NEW YORK-'AP)-The body of blind. elderly' Homer Collyer, was found today in an ancient, cluttered Fifith avenue mansion where he and his brother, Langley, forsook wealth and society nearly 40 years ago to become New York's most mysterious recluses. Burrowing through the collected debris of decades, police contintied their search for Langley, who was determined to outlive his blind brother in order to care for him.

They shouted in the silent: darkened house: "Langley Collyer, are you here?" They were answered only by the scampering sounds of mice in the waste and furniture-jammed brownstone house and by the murmur of large crowd which gathered outside to watch the end of a legend." A musician, who said he knew both brothers, identified Homer, a frail little with a great hatch of white hair. "The face of this manit's Homer's," said the musician, Rodriquo. So crowded with bales. of papers and victorian furniture and bric-abrac. was the three-story house at 128th et and Fifth avenue that police burrow in their search for a bed Where Langley might lie Ill or dead.

"It's like a cave." said one perspiring policeman who emerged for breath of air. Both the brothers were believed in their early seventies. But fact was 80 distorted by fiction that their biographies were dubious. It was Yact, however, that few persons had seen the pair since they moved into the house, in 1909. Langley' was reputed be the landlord of half of New York's rich waterfront at one time as well as of many other valuable city plots.

He cared for his brother Homer, known to be blind. The Collvers were said to have inherited their fortune from ancestors traced to early colonists who arrived on the ship Speedwell, shortly after the Mayflower. Their, father WAS physician. A reporter who oncel was able to talk briefly with Langley asked him of the 'authenticity of the report the house contained 17 pianos. "We have 10 pianos, not 17," Langley replied with dignity.

Langley, who would come to A window occasionally and infrequently would creep out at night- to shop, was a slight figure always dressed in a ragged overcoat held with a safety pin. He had a drooping Lord Dundreary moustache -the style worn when phaetons wheeled along Fifth avenue, As A young man, he reputedly was a gay blade. Homer has not been seen since 1940.

Smith, managing partner of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Beane and a governor of the. Association of Stock' Exchange Firms, disclosed today that has opposed the recommendation the her association favoring higher Stock Exchange commission rates.

"Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Beane strongly opposes any change in the Stock, Exchange commission schedule would increase the total cost to the public of doing business, Mr. with the Smith brokerage said. "Merrill commuLynch, on the other hand, favors a revision of the present schedule to reduce costs to the small' investor and simplify the rate structure. der no however, should this revision be used as an excuse to. increase brokerage income at the expense of the whole investing public.

"Since 1942 Merrill Lynch has been affected by same rising cost ten. dencies as the rest of the brokerage community, as we have disclosed in our annual reports. But total bustness also increased and so did profits. The association claim of a 24 percent increase in brokerage operating costs from 1942 to 1946 is not impressive when contrasted with an increase in Stock Exchange 'volume of 190 percent over the same period. "We do not believe that it is wise public policy for businessmen to use higher costs as an excuse to raise charges if there is any other method.

of protecting the financial integrity of the business. Our integrity was amply protected last year by the volume of business and by refinements in our operating methods. "We do not believe that we. have yet. cutting exhausted costs by the improving possibilities the me- of chanics of the brokerage business.

We have no reason to believe that the rest of the industry has reached anything like absolute efficiency "The industry should not succumb to the temptation to jump on to the higher -cost bandwagon. On the contrary, it should do all in its powhold the line on costs to investors. We need more investors to participate in our national economy. They should be encouraged to acquire a greater stake in private enterprise, not discouraged by shortsighted action of the financial industry." A.P.

Eaton said the documents have "seemed to create more interest than the grave issue before of major shift in American diplomatic policy. ACHESON'SAID Eaton had called his attention to a demand within the committee that copies of the document be furnished the press. He said the State department, now planned to do just the likelihood that they would be made public later in the day.

He made it clear, however, that some of the documents were not statements of the State department itself and said that was "sure" the press would treat them in that light in making them public. Acheson testined under questioning by Rep. Mundt. (R-SD) that Soviet insistence on participation' in the defense of the Dardanelles straits is one of the "external pressures" on the government of Turkey. One of the primary reasons the Administration desires to provide aid to Turkey, the said, is to combat "external pressure." The Under Secretary added that there are no.

particular, "internal pressures" on government, but it is staggering under the load of maintaining a normal economy while also keeping armed forces in a state of semi- -mobilization. Mundt remarked: "The reason why, fundamentally we are being asked to go into Turkey is that -at least in the opinion of the Turkstheir Soviet neighbor is conducting A war of nerves as regards the (Dardanelles) straits and along the border. "Is that; a fair statement?" Acheson: "I would rather content myself with the statement that what has happened has convinced the Turks that they must keep their army mobilized." The South Dakota legislator then asked, whether the aid to the two Mediterranean countries is "the first, step in American policy to stop expansion of Communism into countries that are free land democratic." ACHESON, P.ECALLED that President Truman 'had said Greece and Turkey asked the United States for aid. He added: 'The President did not state a at any time that this is crusade against an ideology." Rep. Richards (D-SC) took over the questioning and swung to the question of why the problem would not be put before the United Nations.

Acheson had testined yesterday that the situation 14g an emergency one in which the could not act. with sufficient Richards, saying he knew the U.N. has no police force now, remarked: "I am naiye. enough to hope that some day U.N. can handle situations like this."
