General Motors
Change in control Of the General
Motors Corporation may be followed by
q change in the dividend policy Of the
company, it was reported insthe Street
YESTERDAY. Some Of the new interests
in the company are said to be opposed
to the payment Of stock dividends on
tho present basis and in view Of this
it was considered not unlikely that the
quarterly stock disbursement OF 1-40th
share on General Motors common would
be eliminated when the directors meet
for dividend action the latter part Of
this month. On the present outstand-
ing common capitalization OF approx
mately 2O,OO0,00O shares the present
stock dividend requirements add p
100000 shares, or 10 per cent to the
common capitalization annually.

One thing that is holding up financing

Much Old Clothing Saturday.
Rain that fell practically all day
Saturday seriously interfered with
the efforts Of the Associated Chari-
ties to get bundles OF old clothing
and food for the poor and needy Of
the city. Charities headquarters was
notified Of a number OF bundles Of
clothing that could be had and these.
not more than dozer In all, were
called for. A few other bundles were
brought to the association.
Last fall when tina Associated
Charities arranged for bundle day,
and asked givers to wrap up the
bundles and leave then, on parkings,
to be called for by trucks. moro than
200 bundles of clothing were re-
ceived. Another effort probably will
be made when the weather becomes
settled to get the supply Of old
clothes that the Associated Charities
needs SO badly In its work.
