Kennedy, now chairman of the Stock Exchange Control Commission, was cited today by the Senate Stock Market Investigating Committee In a report severely condemning such activities. The pool in question was conducted in shares of the Libby-Owens-Ford Glass Company. Kennedy and his colleagues, evidence before the committee revealed, profited to the extent of $395,000. Pools now are forbidden by the stock exchange control law. It was because of Kennedy's connection with this operation that Ferdinand Pecora, Senate Ranking Committee counsel, who conducted the Investigation, objected to his election as chairman the commission and waa reluctant to serve under him.

Commission members ar united In saying, however, that the disagreement now has been eliminated; that Pecora and Kennedy are on the best of terms, and that the sgency is functioning In perfect harmony. Kennedy would make no comment on the report, and Pecora was at his home in New York. Cite Public Delusion The report pointed out that the glass company pool "was materially aided by a popular deluaion that th company was engaged In manufacturing glass bottles and waa therefore to be classified as a Repeal stock, whereas in fact it was In now way enhanced by the repeal of prohibition." The report, a first section of the final report by the Banking Committee on Its long and sensational prone Into Wall Street activities. had this to say of pools In general: "The testimony before the subcommittee again and again demonstrated that the activity fomented by a pool creates a faise and deceptive appearance of genuine demand for the security on the of the purchasing public and attracts persons relying upon this misleading appearance to make purchases which relieve the pool of its holdings in the end. Pools Classified "Attempts have been made to differentiate between 'beneficent' pools and 'nefarious' pools.

Pools, operated for the purpose of stabilizing the market prices during periods of secondary distribution or while liquidating blocks of stock held by estates or creditors have been placed In the category of 'ben-eficient pools; whereas, pools oper-atfd merely for the purpose of raising the price of securities so that the participants might unload their holdings at Increased prices have been characterized as 'nefarious pools. From the viewpoint of the purchaser outside of the pool circle there Is no substantial or ethic.il difference In these two types of pools. Althouch the purpose miy he different, the menn i are identical. overs ide Range In all cases, fictitious activity it I intentionally created and the pur- cnaser Is deceived bv an nn.m janre of genuine demand for th security. furnishes no itiflcatlon for the employment if manipulative devices." The report released tonight covered all phases of stock exchange Activity and Is the first of tlx sections in which the various phases of the Investigation are to be treated.

When complete, th report will constitute a bulky volume which committee members expect to prove a valuable reference and eource hook. The succeeding sections are to he devoted to investment-banking practices, commercial-banking practices, Investment trusts and hold-ing companies, income-tax avoidances and a summary of the legislation thus far enacted In connection with the subjects Involved. Troba Cost The report set the cost of the Senat committee Investigation at J250.000 and added: "The expenditures, however, have been justified many-fold by tha Incalculable benefits flowing to th American people fro! the hearings th form of enlightenment as to practices which have cost them so dearly In the pant and in the form of remedial measures designed to prevent such practices for all time in the future. "Tha federal government has been or will be reimbursed many times over by the receipt of addi- tional Income taxes or penalties Imposed on th basis of testimony oeveloned at tha hearlnas. To dat.

assessments for deficiencies and penaltie hava been levied by the Bureau of Internal Revenue In a sum exceeding $2,000,000 as a direct result of th revelationa before the sub-committee.
