South American oils were the only
exception to the downward tendency
and were taken most of the time
slightly above last weeks final prices.
Traders who had accumulated
profits in Dubilier Radio last week
were disposed to take them, with the
result that the stock was offered
freely and lost over a point.
Mining stocks continued to find
it difficult to attract a following and

Speeding Up of Legislative
Program Is Discussed

Plans for speeding up the legisla.

cussed at White House conference

and number of Republican leaders
Of the Senate. The Senators had

Among those present were Lodge
Of Massachusetts,, Curtis of Kansas,

President Coolidge stressed the
importance Of enacting the tax re-
duction bill as soon as possible,
pointing out that large business in.
terests hesitated to complete their
plans for the rest of the year until
the exact nature of the tax cuts
had been determined by Congress.
In the event the tax bill is delayed
until early in June, the President
suggested that another effort should
be made this month to put through
separate resolution providing for
a reduction in 1923 income taxes.
The Senators also discussed with
the President the problem Of select
ing a new Attorney General in ad-
dition to reviewing the entire legIs-
lative situation in Congress.
