Il showdown through Mexico's can
collation. of American companies drill
ing permits, Is far from settled ques-
ton here.
Despite the fact that the courts
have been resorted to by the COM
panies, the official viewpoint here is
that cancellation of the permits de-
prives the owners of the use of the
property to which they have titles.
Meanwhile officials here cannot
reconcile an announcement from
Mexico City that n large majority Of
the oil companies have accepted the
new law with assurances from Ameri-
can, British and Dutch companies,
representing SS per cent of the Next
can production, that they are declin-
ing to subscribe to it. Inspection of
the Mexican announcement has dis
closed that some of the companies it
included actually have no wells; that
many are Mexican companies with
no rights in which the United States
is interested, and that still others
have acquired their rights since 1917
and therefore have no grounds for
protest.

Cancellation of the drilling permits of
oil companies in the Tampico district
as a sequel to the new oil laws has

STOCKS CONTINUE
RECOVERY TODAY
UnfavorabIe News Ignored.
B. & 0. and Reading Lead
erS Among the Rails.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, April 27.---The re-
covery in the stock market was car
ried further today. Railroad shares
were the leaders most of the time,
but some of the industrials were
aggressively bought. Unfavorable
news was ignored. It was difficult
to find, for instance, any reflection in
the course of prices Of the serious
nature of the flood situation IN the
Mississippi Valley. Stocks OF the
roads most likely to suffer We're not
hid up like some Of the rest but
they were not pressed Tor sale'
either.
Seasoned dividend paying railroad
shares were in demand, with Balti-
more & Ohio and Reading showing
the largest gains. Investment stocks,
like New York Central and Atchison,
were generally higher. The most at
tention however was devoted 10
lower priced issues, at least two OF
which had spectacular NOV IS. These
were Bangor & Aroostoook ana
Gulf, Mobile & Northern.
B. 6 A. at New High.
The former sold higher Than ever
before since it was listed on the eN-
change and the latter crossing 10,
higher than at any time in its his
tory. For the Bangor x Arooslook
rise the March earnings statement
was the commonly accepted eHplana-
ION while in Gulf. Mobile &
Northern the talk still was about
benefits to be derived from some
merger arrangements.
There were two or three weak spots
i'm the motor group. Pierce Arrow
sinking to new low levels for the year,
made further response to the nfSt
quarter income report. At 5S the pre-
ferred stock was down 10 points on
the day. which added to the lost IN
the preceding session makes an unus-
ualIy heavy decline. The common at
"a was down s points. Offerings of
both were large as the prices went
lower. -
Jordan was another stock on this
class, pressed for sale and Nash was
lower for time.
Against these losses could be set the
strength in General Motors and IN
Mack Trucks. General Motors had an
opening jump Of point and haH
and held it's gain fairly well later IN
the day. Mack Trucks was taken IN
volume only fractionany under the
highest of the year to dates
Conner Stocks Strong.
Announcement after the close yes
terdav of the expected per cent di-
yidend rate on the additional United
States Steel stock was without Ell
fect on the market for either the old
or the new shares. Net income for
the quarter was somewhat lower than
had been predicted so that the one
item may have offset the other put IL
is more probable that with nothing
more in the way of news to come out,
the steel shares for the present had
lost their power to stimulate specui-
tive Imagination. i
Copper stocks gave . good account
of themselves, especially American
Smelling and Refining. General Elec-
tric was taken up and advanced brisk
ly while other recent favorites such
an Commercial Solvents b and Inter
national Nickel were we'll bought. The
short interest in Baldwin took alarm
at the strength of the general mar
ket and scurried to cover.

Gil for last year-that of systema-
tizing the schedule of drives for
charitable and civic welfare work
vas discussed, and plans made to
carry on this activity in greater de-
tail this year. w. w. McEuen,
speaking on this subject, urged that
Representatives of different organ
iZations contemplating drives thus
season have their respective organ
izations turn in the dates desired
for their campaigns. A schedule of
such campaigns will then be work
ed out by the executive board of the
council, to prevent conflict such rs
has occurred in past years.
Urge Budget Cuts
R. p. Moore, speaking on the same
subject suggested that different or
CARNATIONS planning drives for this
season be asked to try to cut their
budgets to minimum on account
of existing financial conditions, and
also submit their figures to the
Community Councils executive
board. The desirability of making
all drives from house to house, in
stead of in the business district a
lone, was stressed by d. b. Roberts.
The desirability of considering a
community chest for Ell Centre was
brought up by j. ID. Foss, and was
referred to the executive board.
Judge A. c. Finney, representing
the superior court, and the Imperial
County tuberculosis Association,
were elected to membership in the
jouncil.
The addition of two "opportunity
looms' to the elementary schools
was reported by S. l.. McCrory. The
addition of greater facilities for
manual training for children who
will not be able to enter profess
siOns, and at the Eastside school,
were also mentioned as examples Of
the kind of work being encouraged
in the community by the council.
A vote of confidence and thanks S
was extended to the retiring offic-
crs, including Warren Currier, presi-
dent; w. w. McEuen, r. p. Moore
and Rev. George A. Hartman, vice
presidents, and Mrs. A. b. Hanson,
