LENIENCY IN RESERVE
CREDIT POLICY SEEN
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June 28.-Wall Street
interpreted this weeks Federal Reserve
statements as not alone explaining, in a
large way, the relative complacency of
the money market in the face Of heavy
shifting against July settlements, but
more than that, as indicating a much
more lenient attitude on the part of that
organization. True, the Reserve, while
adding moderately to its holdings Of
Government bonds, was not very active
IN acquiring opening market bills. The
New York bank increased its holdings
slightly over $4,000 900, but the sys-
TENS bill portfolio was cut by about
81, 200, 900.
The Reserve, however, does not ap-
pear to be discouraging rediscounting
by member banks to the same extent
as was the case until recently. Largely
due to the increase of $57 300 900 in re-
discounts. with the New York total ex-
panded $6300o,00o, the aggregate Of
Reserve credit In use increased $64, ,00o,-
600 during the week.

Tailor President and Blacksmith.

Among the historic pieces owned by
the State of Tennessee in the museum
maintained for the purpose there hangs
a black broadcloth coat which was
made by Andrew Jackson while the ex-
President was Governor of Tennessee.
The why of it was this: When jack
son was elected governor 1t was not
so long before that he was a tailor.
So as recognition of his friends
achievement in politics, Judge w. w.
Pepper, who was formerly a black
smith, went down to the village forge
and shaped some fire irons for the
governors fireplace. In return jack
son obtained the necessary measure
ments of the judges anatomy and
made him coat 1t is said that the
governor sat cross-legged on his guber-
Material desk at nights and Sewed the
cloth together. In the museum Is a
note which seems to substantiate this
story.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK; June 28.--Trading on
the Curb Exchange set furious pace
today and Threatened the former record
five-hour turnover of 3,046, 400 shares
established last November.
The list continued extremely buoyant,
with the utilities again in the lime
light and further broadening of inter-
est in most other sections.
Trading On Large Scale.
The big feature was Commonwealth
a. Southern, which opened on block
Of 100000 shares. equaling the record
initial transaction in the history of the
exchange established by the same issue
on June IA last. Innumerable lots Of
5000 to 10000 shares were taken
throughout the day and the volume Of
trading in the warrants was almost as
tremendous. The stock extended its
recent rally another point or so to the
best level on the current movement.
Despite the revival of large scale trad
iag in the issue none of the recent
active favorites lost their buoyant char
acteriStics.
American Foreign Power and Utilities
Light & Power A featured the medium
priced issues, soaring to new highs,
while Electric Bond & Share, stimulated
by reports that it would be transferred
to the Stock Exchange within the next
few weeks, climbed above 120 for the
first time under the present capital
structure. The buying. as has been the
case all along, was ALSO based on the
sharp appreciation in the value of its
investments. The movement in utli-
tiles was based on the supposition that
one OF the various holding companies
was buying stock.
American Gas & Electric was also
conspicuous among the high-priced
power issues, and there was sharp
advance in Columbia Electric Power to
new high ground for the year. The
strength spread into the shares of the
Niagara & Hudson holding group, but
realizing went on In certain others,
especially United Gas Improvement old,
after its violent rise of the preceding
day.
Miscellaneous Division.
Decided strength continued to char
ecterize such recent prominent per-
formers in the. miscellaneous division
as Checker Cab, Bristol Myers, United
States Freight, Wick Financial and
numerous others. International Pro-
jector new went through its former top
on publication of reports that negotia-
ttons have been practically completed
Tor merger with several other con-
Germs In afiliated lines. The aviation
stocks steadied after the nervousness
which followed the break in most Of
those issues excluded from the new
CurtiSs- Wright combine. Stock of the
holding company was comparatively
quiet and heavy. Fleischmann Royal
did slightly better.
The oils failed to make much further
progress, relapsing into dullness. Min
ing issues and the motors continued
quiet and irregular.

Conveniences of Electric Welding

The elimination of the noise Of the
pneumatic riveter in the erection OF a
steel structure is not the only adyan-
tage, although that is the one which
appeals most to the average observer
But there is much more than this.
Until a short time ago the makers OF
large electrical generators had to cast
the metals in molds, with many con-
seouent chances for 'lfnperfections. Now
the machines can be assembled In
pieces and welded together by electric
ity. assuring a Job that is one complete
and perfect piece.
There are several reasons for the re-
cent tremendous increase in the use
Of structural steel and welding as a
substitute for the use of castings. The
cost of constructing patterns and the
expense of storing them, the loss oc-
casioned by defects in the castings, and
the likelihood Of failure in service as a
result of internal strains, blowholes and
the like are some of the disadvantages
of the old method of construction.

TOXIC, September 90 Sunday
Baron Glitch Tanaka, former premier
Of Japan. died today of angina pectoris
He was Sc years old. He resigned with
his cabinet on July last
He suffered heart attack at $50
o'clock this morning and died three
hours later. Leaders of the Seisukai
party met at the Tanaka residence
shortly before noon to discuss the filling
Of Tanaka's place as president Of the
party.
The former premier suffered his first
attack last November Is, the day of the
first banquet in connection with the
enforcement of Emperor Hirohito.
More acute symptoms were noted after
the banquet, and as result the baron
did not accompany the Emperor and
Empress to the grand shrine.
Resignation Is rendered.
The baron rendered the resignation of
his cabinet to the Emperor after 4
little more than two years in of;oa
The foreign policy of the Conservatives
was largely responsible for ending the

tested against the idea Of punishment

Mrs. Delphine Dodge Cromwell Baker,

named defendant in a suit filed yester-
day in District Supreme Court by Marie

wife of James H. R. Cromwell, wealthy
Philadelphia.
It is alleged in the suit that the note
was to mature in three years. Accor:a-
ing to the plaintiff, she assigned the
note to the Irving Trust Co. on April
81, 1928. She says interest has not been
maid since November "a. 1927. and asks

whether he had been at the conference
or not.
Naval officers of this Government
were opposed to any agreement which
would leave the United States inferior
in cruiser strength and in other classes
time of the Geneva conference. But
the American Government and the
American people generally had the
same view of the matter. If there was
an expression of hope that the COLI
ference would not succeed it may we'll
have been that the conference should
not succeed if the British proposal was
to be adhered to.
Since the present British government
came into power negotiations between
Mr.. Macdonald and President Hoover,
conducted largely by Gen. Charles G.
Dawes, the American Ambassador in
London, have progressed rapidly, and it
is said satisfactorily, until the differ
enceS which existed between the two
governments at the Geneva conference
have largely been ironed out.
Senator Hale, chairman of the Sen
ate naval affairs committee, and Sena-
tor Swanson, the ranking Democratic
member of the committee, were called
to the White House to see the Presi-
dent yesterday. They did not reveal
the reason of their visit. 1t is believed.
however, that they we're consulted with
regard to the coming naval conference,
the invitations to which will soon be
sent out from London, it is reported.
In some quarters it has been suggested
that one or both of these Senators
might be included in the American
delegation to the conference.
Look to London.
Members of the Senate naval af-
fairs subcommittee say that it would be
unfortunate to have the Shearer hear
ing underway while the British prime
minister is here on a mission looking
to a better understanding between his
country and America on the question Of
naval ornaments. The Geneva confer
ence, which is involved in the inquiry.
did not show the two countries seeing
eye to eye in this matter. The effort
today is to forget Geneva and to look
forward to London.
Shearer will be examined at con-
siderable length by the committee
members. 1t is considered likely that
he will be two days on the stand.
Many angles of his employment and
activities at Geneva will be gone into,
and also the committee will seek TO
learn more of his employment as a
lobbyist here in Washington. In addi-
ton to these matters, some members OF
the committee threaten to go into the
past record Of Shearer. which has all
ready been called to the attention Of
the committee by letters submitted for
the record and by at least one witness.
