Law Enforcement Commission
 Has Funds Available

Washington. May 22 1IWhitc House officials said today that the S.50,0oo fund appropriated by con gress at the last session for an in quiry into prohibition enforcement would be available for the new ma tional law enforcement commission.
 Provision for this sum was made in an amendment to the first deficiency bill offered by Senator Glass, democrat, Virginia. at about the time proposals were made that congress authorize the president to appoint a law enforcement commi.i- sion.
 White House officers had been ln- formed that the amendment was stricken from the bill in conference, but an examination of the law dis closes that such was not the case. The language of the law authorizes the use of the money in the fiscal years 1929 and 1930 for an inquiry into the enforcement of the prohib! ton and all other laws.
 There is no fund for Halaries of the commissioners and they Will serve without pay for the present. at least.

STORM OF SELLING | ENGULfS WALL ST.
Higher Rediscount Rate Wipes Out Millions in Quoted Ylue

New York, May e2 R1-A storm Of selling orders. wiping out millions Of dollars in quoted values. swept into the New York stock exchange and other securities markets today on the announcement that the fed eral reserve council had approved an | increase in rediseount rates from 5 to per cent in further effort to Curtail the volume of borrowings on securities collateral. Extreme losses in a long list Of industrials and rails ranged from t3 to SIS | share. with at least score individual stocks, including General Motora.. Chrysler. Nash.

Despite the prospect Of higher re- discount rates this week. call money was in good supply and after renew ing at per cent dropped to ( in early afternoon.
