Pressure Being Brought

Close Situation Called to

By PAUL R. MALLON

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Pres-
sure is being brought upon Herbert
Hoover to amplify his four speech
speaking campaign to include partic-
rlarly trip to Oklahoma and Tex
as.
The close situation in Oklahoma
was called TO his attention today by
Senator Pine of that state who in
formed the Republican presidential
nominee he thought it advisable for
Hoover to make trip there, espec-
tally in view of the recent visit of
the Democratic nominee, Gov.
Smith, to Oklahoma City.
The Texas situation was called to
his attention by a delegation Of
Texas Republicans recently.
Pressure also has been exerted
for speeches in Illinois, North Da-
kota and Montana.
Hoover has been hesitant about
increasing his program, although
his closest advisers are trying to
convince him he should make more
speeches. He usually has spent from
two to three weeks in the prepara-
ton of each of his addresses, and
it is said he does not see how he
can take on any more speaking en-
gagements in the short time re-
naming before election.
His advisers, however, believe
they will be able to persuade him to
make at least one additional speech.
His only remaining engagements
are Elizabethtown, Tenn, Oct. 6,
New Yorl, Oct. II, and Boston,
sometime later. He also is arranging
to make several stops on his trip
to Palo Alto, Nov. l, to cast his
ballot.

state safe for the Republicans,

dramatic and melodramatic tempo.
1t seems to me that William Wors-
wick, judged of course when 1 saw
the play on Sunday night, decided
upon the slow measured tempo in
stead of adjusting the tempo to the
various scenes. This was very ap-
parent in the last act when the
author gives most of the characters
the job of explaining all the strange
goings on. OF course this is danger
GUS on the part of playwright who
merely tries to deceive the audience
for no reason whatsoever.
WorSwick as director has at
tempted to maintain a deep, slow
moving dramatic tempo and while
he has done that to create an at
mosphere of mystery, ne has over
looked some vital things known as
show business. Some of the char
acters appear so unreal that even
the tempo is so unread that one has
no faith in the character. The real
test of a mystery play is that real
characters can make one believe
even the most unreal situations.

In the Stock Market
CBy Thomson & McKinnonJ


NEW YORK, May 29.-Evidently
the persistent efforts of the Fed
eral Reserve Board to restrict stock
market credit is beginning to bear
fruit, for it was obvious in Mon
days closing market that the ultra
bulliSh sentiment so prevalent here
tofore has cooled. OF course, this
effect was aggravated by the usual
June l money demand which
caused call money rates to reach
the highest level in some years.
But more significant is the extreme
f1rmness in time funds which are
not any too plentiful at per cent.
Impressive evidence for the decline
is found in the announcement that
continued gold exports may be
looked for, and how could it be
otherwise when all signs point to
little possibility of easement in
either the credit supply or lower
rate? Hence until there are definite
indications of relief in these direc-
tons, we see no alternative Tor
traders but liquidation.
