Sided-SeIIing in Great
Volume in Morning.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSIL.
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, April 24.-The stock
market displayed another complete re-
versal of form today, selling of in the
morning when pressure was resumed
against the coppers and a wide assort-
ment of specialties, and then rallying
briskly under the leadership of the
amusements, public utilities and rub
bers. BY early afternoon many OF the
early declines had been substantially
reduced or converted into gains, and a
long list of issues was selling to ia
tions.
Oils Active.
The days business news failed to pro-
vide much stimulus to bullish en-
thusiasrn. Another flock of quarterly
earnings reports made their appear
ance and most of them made unfavor-
able comparison with the first quarter
of last year, but there were few con-
spicuous exceptions, notably Yellow
Truck and Air Reduction. Settlement
Of the gasoline price-cutting war in the
Dutch East Indies between the Standard
Oil of New York and Royal Dutch
Shell interests coupled with predictions
prices and a probable segregation Of the
natural gas properties of Standard Oil
of New Jersey, brought fresh buying
into the oil shares.
Widespread predictions of a further
cut in the price Of copper to IL cents
a pound, although lacking official veri-
fication, caused heavy liquidation of the
copper shares. American Smelling,
Anaconda, Kennecott, Cerro De PaSco
ira& I.~Iy1 AAa
all dipped to new low levels for the
year, most Of the losses being held to
point or less. Early reduction In divi-
dends by some of the high cost pro-
ducers is looked for.
j. I. Case, which recently recorded a
spectacular advance into new high
ground, broke is points to $40 on
realizing, but quickly snapped back to
357. Allied Chemical sold down 612
points and United Aircraft dropped
in response to the new agreement for
the acquisition of National Air Trans
port stock on a basis of three shares
of National for one of United. Gulf
States Steel fell 5 points and Column
bian Carbon, Checker Cab, Brooklyn
Union Gas, Pittsburgh Coal preferred,
Gotham Silk Hosiery, Continental Bak-
ing A, Hudson Motors and several others
sold down to points.
Radio Is Feature.
Radio was heavily bought in the early
afternoon, crossing 50 to a new 1880
high for gain of more than points.

to a new top above 81. Keith-Albee
preferred Pathe A, and Radio-Keith-
Orpheum advanced ia to points
higher to new peak prices.

economic tendencies"
THE appalling record of bank fall

BETTER Business Indicated.

The report that new life insurance
written in Washington in March was IS
per cent ahead Of March 1929 Is held
by local bankers as an indication that
business conditions here are gradually
improving. Life insurance sales also
are declared to be so closely allied with
business throughout the country that
they may be safely used as business
indicator. For the first quarter life In
surance sales in Washington are also
better than last year. The volume Of
life insurance written in 1929 broke all
records, yet the figures so far in 1880
exceed those of 1929 by a substantial
margin. The figures are reported by 70
companies which claim to do 80 per
cent Of the country's underwriting.

STREETS NAME
. |SCONTESTED

What's in a name? Plenty Of
trouble, say those now trying to
name q proposed avenue and
square near the Capitol.
The avenue is to run from the
Union Station Plaza to the pro-
posed Union Square," to be sit
uated at Third Street and Penn
sylvania Avenue.
For the name Of the avenue the
North, South and West are con-
testing. Maine is ,insistent that 1t
be named Maine, because the
present short avenue by that name
near the Capitol may be wiped
out in the expansion Of the Bo-
tanical Gardens. Louisiana says
the new avenue should bear her
name, while Californians declare
there is no better name than Cali
fornia. Then Ohio comes along
with a four-letter suggestion for
the lamp-post signs.
The name may be decided by
act of Congress or the Commis-
sion on Enlarging the Capitol
Grounds, headed by Vice Presi-
dent Curtis. The National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
still has under consideration his
torical names to Washington
streets, but q sharp protest has
been made against changing any
Of the names because Of the con-

of the once powerful Aiello-Mo-
ran-Zuta forces, was returned
from exile to face vagrancy
charges, but was released on
bond. Threatened with death, he
is reported to be planning to
abdicate and leave the Capone
forces in charge.
Aiello was slain to halt q plot
to kill Capone and put the
Moran gang back in control OF
the city's major gangster enter"
prises, police were informed.
According to the underworld
grapevine, Moran and Aiello
planned the "last stand" coup at
Moran's hideaway at Bemidji,
MINI, but one Of the conspira-
tors, fearful Of failure, informed
Capone militiamen.
Both Moran and Aiello were
marked for death when the plot
became known, it was reported,
