Bradstreet's Report

New York, May 23.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Trade and crop development still lack
the long desired stimulus Of seasonable
weather; the recession in industry
continues; the results of this upon EN-
ployment and purchasing power being
noted as an additionally retarding ele-
ment in same areas; political develop
ments have been rather disappointing.
and the general situation, commercial
and industrial, may be quite accurately
summed up in the phrase fair to slow"
Rather more than average complaint
of low temperatures retarding crop
growth comes from such widely sep
arated areas as the spring wheat north
west, Texas, Georgia and New Eng
land, and very generally crops and
trade are linked together as being SIM
ilarly affected. The Pacific northwest
notes the need of rain, as do some of
the west-central. areas as far south as
Kansas. while rain and light SHOWS or
froSts have been rather a retriment in
the northern tier of states from Mime
sofa eastward.

Diamond Drills for
Nash Connecting Rods

The diamond, which FOR centuries
has lolled about on the lap OF
luxury, adjoining delicate settings OF
rare platinum and gold, has been
put to a practical and useful occupa-
ton by the manufacturer OF auto
mobiles. The precious gem. devoid
of glittering setting and attired in
overalIs. so to speak, Is now work
ing shoulder to shoulder in the
factory of The Nash Motors Com
pany with it's less romantic brethren
of the steel and copper branches OF
the mineral family.
In fact the average car owner.
maryeling at the smoothness of his
motor is not aware. perhaps, of the
important contribution made by the
diamond in attaining this smooth
ness. $4,000 worth of these
precious gems are carried on hand
by Nash Motors as part of its
regular factory tool equipment.
For some years past manufac tur-
ers have used diamonds. because of
their hardness, to resurface emery
wheels but in the Nash factory the
diamond also adorns the business
end of the boring bar in a machine
which bores the bearings in Nash
connecting rods. So efficient Is the
diamond in this important work
that At, described by production
men as being one-thousand per cent
perfect. is attained for the wrist pin.
That, of course. means longer life
for the motor, the elimination of any
possibility of wrist pin knock or
slap, and a motor that is smoother
in operation. The hole bored by the
diamond for the wrist pin Is so per-
feet, in fact, that ii battles the
micrometer, measuring instrument
that will accurately record the
dimensions of human hair.
Most of the diamonds used IN
Nash Motors operations are of un-
usual size and of the black
variety. The precious stones are
gathered up at night and turned
over to custodian who places
them In safety deposit vault.

OVER-RULING PARDON
OF COOLIDGE STUDIED
Justice Department Seeks Prece-
dent for Court Action on Sa-
lconkeeper's Case.

With Philip Grossman held in Jail
in Chicago despite an extension of
nresid entail clemency, Department of
Justice officials have begun study
of legal authorities and precedents
for tho action of the Chicago court
in overriding the Presidents action.
Attorney General Stone feels that
the situation has developed involved
and technical legal points that re-
ouire careful consideration. For
that reason he has declined to ex-
press an official opinion. Grossman.
a former saloonkeeper, was SEN
fenced for contempt Of court and the
sentence was commuted by President
Coolidge.
Some department officials hold the
view that the Presidents authority
is supreme in the exercise or Glenn
ency, but it is conceded that the
precedents are conflicting.
Upheld BY DanEherty.
The case of Controller Craig of the
city of New York recently presented
a question similar to that involved
in the holding Of Grossman and in
that case Attorney General Daugherty
upheld the Presidents right to act
in contempt cases

Sees Smaller Man Placed at
Mercy of Corporations if
Returns Are Published.
CITES CHAOS BROUGHT
BY SYSTEM IN PAST
Field Opened to Fraudulent Con-
Germs by Provision Regarded
as Vast.

Secretary Hoover in a formal state
ment today declared the provision of
the new tax bill opening tax returns
for inspection will jeopardize small
business and place it at the mercy
of larger competitors.
The Secretary recalled that pub
licity of tax returns during the peri
cd of 1867 to 1872 contributed TO the
industrial and financial chaos OF the
time" and charged that the provision
Of the new tax bill opens new fields
for fraudulent concerns.
Il am advised that the provision
in the tax bill that tax returns shall
be open to inspection is so worded
that they may not even have the very
other public documents" said Mr..
Hoover. Even the protection of
public documents is insufficient
guarantee of confidential character.
Small Man Jeopardized.
I'VE thus have serious jeopardy
that a mans business may be re-
vealed to his competitors Large cor
porations already publish these facts
through reports to stockholders, and
this requirement therefore does not
materially affect them. Such publi-
cation would be likely to become the
basis of credit rating in the smaller
business, and the vital factor of
character and reputation will be
undermined by the tax return of any
bad year, thus working grave in
justice on firms undergoing momen-
tary losses OF those that are unavoid-
able in times of depression.
1T will enable strong competitors
to take advantage of temporary weak
condition of smaller concerns, and on
the other hand fraudulent concerns
would gladly pay few thousand
dollars year falsely disguised as
profit in order to mislead the public.
People who wish to disguise their
wealth will be stimulated to further
evasion. 1t can add nothing to
revenue returns.
First Move OF Kind Failed.
TT may be we'll recalled that
publicity of tax returns, which was
required during the period of 1867 to
1872, contributed to the industrial
and financial chaos of the time. One
serious effect might be to undermine
confidence in the whole system of
taxes on incomes, which would be
a great pity

Cramton amendment to the District
appropriation bill, doing away with
the 60-40 plan of appropriating for
the District and substituting lump

the National Capital will be fully pre-
sented at a hearing before the Senate
appropriations subcommittee this aft
ernoon.
The District Commissioners, Ed
ward F. Colladay and Theodore w.

joint committee, will discuss the fis-
cal relations of the District and fed

Amendment Providing U. S.

roads affected into receivership under
an amendment to the Howell -Barkley
bill approved today by Senate sub
committee.
The bill itself, which provides for
abolition of the Railroad Labor
Board and substitution of a system
of adjustment tribunals. on which
both the roads and their employees
would be represented, then was re-
ported favorably by the subcommit-
tee to the full interstate commerce
committee. A similar bill is to come
up in the House early next week.
Means OF Avert Crisis.
The amendment reported by the
subcommittee provides specifically
that when strike or lockout results
on a railroad which the President
considers may bring a transportation
crisis he shall at once instruct the
Attorney General to file suit for
receivership and shall seek appoint
ment as receiver of a man who has
