PARENTS ENTITLED
 ID CONSIDERATION
Supt Holmes Discusses Families h Rockwell School District

Parents of the Rockwell school pupils must be given consideration when the school authorities under take to transfer the pupils to an- other part of the town to make room for high school pupils" Supt. stanley H. Holmes declared in an in- terview today.
 Since 1t is . certainty that there Will be no accommodations at the senior high school other than those which are now being used to the limit. the question of what was to be done with the approximate increase of 75 pupils in February was put up to Mir. Holmes. He said that he did not know what to do at present and that the matter would not be defi- nitely known until next monh when the forecasts for next year are made.
 When asked if he thought the pupils may require more rooms at the Rockwell school. he made the statement with reference to the Rockwell school parents. adding that he felt the elementary school was just as important as the high school and the elementary school pupils should not be shifted because of needed high school accommodations. It Is probable that the two- platoon plan at high school will be avoided this February at least.

SOMERSAULT TAKES MARKET DOWNWARD
Selling Wave at Mid.Day Wipes
 Out Early Gains

New York. Nov. g R-The stock market turned a complete somersault on a record-breaking turnover to- day. A tremendous accumulation of overnight buying orders sent prices of many active issues soaring s to S0h points in early trading. but a swift selling movement just before midday cut down or wiped out many of the early gains, and sent a number of stocks to 5 points be- low yesterdays final quotations. A brisk recovery was in progress in the early afternoon.
 Despite the elimination of sales from the tape. the ticker fell 45 min- utes behind the market by o'clock. So great was the congestion of work in many of the large brokerage houses that the governors of the ex- suspend business on Saturday.
 The midday selling movement was inspired by reports that an import ant statement" would be given out by the federal reserve bank at D. m. Many traders apparently feared that another warning on credit in- flation was coming, and they threw stocks overheard. but the statement proved to be merely the election of a new governor Of the bank to suc- ceed the late BeDamin Strong.

Or dinarily, such an increase would be immediately followed by a heavy wave of selling, and that is what many traders looked for this morn ing. Instead prices bounded up ward. and just when they looked as if they were going through the roof" they suddenly broke in dra- matic fashion.

City Company To Increase
 Paid Capital
Directors Vote to Double Amount and Issue 10000 More Shares June 5 to Expand Holdings
BY A. E.. MACNELL.

Directors of the City Company of Hartford, Inc, voted Tuesday to in- crease the capital of the company from $500,000 to $1,000,000, issuing 10000 additional shares to stock holders of record on June , at S25 share. Stock of the City Com pany of Hartford sold in the local market Tuesday at S235 a share.
 The progress and accomplishments of the City Company of Hartford stands as the most remarkable coming to the attention of followers of the market, at least locally. The City Company of Hartford was in corporated November p, 1927, by the same interests as those in charge of the conduct of affairs of the City Bank & Trust Company.
 Stockholders of the City Bank & Trust Company were afforded an opportunity to acquire stock in the new company. Realizing the success of the officers of the bank they an- ticipated equal success in the man agement of the new company and stock was readily subscribed. Busi- ness began with S250,000 paid in capital and was shortly afterward increased to s5OO.00O. The entire cost of underwriting in both in- stances was without expense as the present one will be. Larger Volume of Business.
 The purpose of the present in crease is to give the company a total of s1,000,000 paid in capital, thereby enabling it to take advan- tage of the growing volume of busi- ! ness and be prepared to participate to a larger degree in the transac- tions which have proven profitable to the company.
 A communication sent out by President LeRoy w. Campbell Tues day night to stockholders of the laCity Company stated: Although the company has had the actual use of its paid in capital of S500,000 for approximately only five months, it has realized very satisfactory operating profit, and in addition holds a list of high grade invest ments which show an attractive en- hancement. The charter privileges of the company are being exercised and the company is gradually broadening it's field activities" Has Broad Charter.
 The charter of the City Company of Hartford is broad in its provi- sions and has served as model for others who have given consideration to the formation of investment companies.
 Subscription rights on the original issue were restricted to stockhold- CTS of the City Bank & Trust Co. Warrants in the forthcoming issue will be transferable and stockhold- CTS not desirous of exercising their rights will undoubtedly find ready market for them.
 The subscription privilege will ex- pire at D. m. on June 9.
 Fred P. Holt, chairman of the board of the City Company, has headed the City Bank & Trust Co. since 1916. LeRoy w. Campbell be- came president of the City Bank & Trust Co. in 1921, coming to Hart | ford with a background of broad financial experience.

lJPSHAW WANTS
PARTY DRY
q InlsrnaIlonaI N.v. ssrvIe.

HOUSTON, Tex, June 25.--A
solemn and feryent "last minute
warning to the Democratic party
not to nominate Al Smith cor any
other wet" was issued today by
ex-Representative William d. Up.
shaw. Of Georgia, who has been a
prohibition lecturer SINCE his re.
tirement from Congress.
IF Governor Smith il nominated,
his lifelong championship of the
saloon will cause him to lose at
least six Southern States and he
will carry down with him many
Democratic Congressman in other
States where their margins are al
ways small.
THE Republican dry plank with
declarative dry candidates will
force the Democrats to at least
match them in platform and candi-
dates-or else follow the other ex-
IRENE and be known to history as

"A straddle would be cowardly
and unthinkable. Wet New York
is big but dry America is bigger.
IF Smith wins the nomination
but loses the Presidency, he and
Tammany will control the party
machinery for the next four years,
and that would mean Jeffersonian
Democracy would be lost forever

PAY BILL WORK
GETSsTARTED

The Personnel Classification Board
today began the work OF reclassify.
ing employees in the higher grades
of the. professional and clerical ser.
vices in washington under the
terms Of the WEIGH pay increase
act.
Under the terms OF the WEIGH act
employees in Grades 5. 6 and Z of
the professional service and IL, Ia
and il Of the clerical service will
be promoted at least one grade.
Comptroller General =. r. Nc
Carl has ruled that these employees
may be promoted one or two grades
according to which the administra.
tive heads of the bureaus believe
more proper.
Board Wants Power
The Classification Board holds
that the WEIGH bill intended that
they should be promoted only one
grade. And IL any Of them are to
be promoted two grades the Per-
sonnet Board believes It should ex.
ercise the discretion rather than
the administrative heads of the de-
partments, as McCarl ruled.
This is one Of the points on which
the Personnel Board has filed q
statement with McCarl. The board
has pointed out to McCarl that I'm.
der the law it Ii supposed to make
any reclaEsificationS rather than de.
partmentaI heads.
The board has now received from
the various departments lob
sheets" for practically every en-
ploye in Washington within these
higher grades.
Hopes For Change
It is significant that the sheets
for employees in grades of the
professional and IL OF the clerical
services are being separated from
the others for future action.
1t is around these employees that
the controversy between the board
and McCarl really centers. McCarl
holds that they must all be pro-
NOTED to grades 5 and IL. The
board believes they should be separ-
ated into two groups. some going
up to 5 and II and others staying
in and II.
The fact that the board liz not
going to act on these classifications
along with the others shows that
it still hopes for a change in Nc.
Carts decision.

SeEFlee.D
HOUSTON, Tex, June 2s.-I have
prepared and offered farm plank
for the Democratic national plat.
form. 1t follows in part:
"Ths Democratic party recognizes
that what is called SURPRISES of farm
products and marketing thereof In
such an orderly way as not to de-
gtroy agriculture, is a problem which
calls for national legislation to aid
the farmers in it's solution.
1--WE do not favor, however, legis-
Iatlon which attempts to correct the
situation through direct or indirect
Treasury subsidies. We believe that
any operations undertaken to assist
farmers to meet this problem should
be largely under the direction of
farm organizations and cooperative
associations, with the use only of
such Federal powers as are neces-
sary to distribute the costs and
losses incurred in dealing with agri-
cultural SURPRISES over each mar
keted unit of the crop whose prod
ucts are to be benefited by such as
sistances.
1--WE indorse, therefore. the aim
and principles of thus distributing
the costs OF concerted action over
the commodity benefited"
