YOUTH

CHRISTIANBURG, Va, March
~ QN.SO-Shot by a hitch
mixer he was taking to New York
IN search of work, Charles
Latham, of New York, was in a
dying condition in Christianburg
General Hospital today. He is
suffering from bullet wound
near the heart.
Latham said the man, who Is
about 20 years old and poorly
dressed, pointed a pistol at him
last night when they were near
Ing here. When he refused to
turn over his money the man
fired the shot and fired another
when he started running away.
Although suffering pain from
his wound Latham managed to
drive his automobile to a filling
station some miles distant. It
was closed and he drove up to
the barn of an adjoining farm
house. Too weak to climb from
his seat because of loss of blood,
he sounded his automobile horn
until occupants of the house
came out.
Sheriff Charles Nixon quickly
organized a posse of about 100
men and they searched the woods
all night for the fugitive.
Today Nixon ordered blood
hounds brought here from
Pulaski, but they failed to find
q scent.
Latham said he picked up the
youth in Knoxville, Tenn, and
that he had been helping him
drive the car.

REPORT

Already perturbed and embar.
rassed over the Senate revela
tions of the lobbying and stock
trading activities of Claudius M.
Huston. chairman Of the Repub
lican national committee, Re
publican leaders had fresh cause
for alarm today when it was re-
ported that resolution of cen
sure against Huston will be pro
posed in the Senate when it
meets next week.
The Caraway Lobby Commit
tee, which brought out the fact
that the Republican chairman had
solicited $36,1O0O from the Union
Carbide Company, ostensibly for
the Muscle Shoals lobby, and had
diverted the money into ais pri.
Yate brokerage account in New
York, expects to bring in a
partial report next week. That.
it was said today, will be accom-
panied by a resolution of cen
sure.
Debate Embarrassing
Inasmuch as debate next week
will hing on the unfinished
Muscle Shoals legislation, Repub
lican leaders would be peculiarly
embarrassed in having to defend
the activities of Huston at that
time
Pressure for HuSton's replace
ment as head of the Republican

if the Republican national ccm

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-Overnight
developments are quite numerous
and generally of a constructive ma
ture. The policy of the Federal Re-
serve of further easing credit con-
ditions has not been modified and
the statement of condition shows
distinct improvement during the last
week. with local banks virtually out
of debt to the reserve. Apparent
ly further reductions in rediScount
rates, both here and abroad, are not
far distant. From a market stand
point, it is likely, however, that the
virtual assurance that the Steel Cor
poration is to receive further re-
fund from the treasury department
amounting TO about SO a share, will
again return this issue to market
leadership and help TO stimulate in
vestment demand for the better
grade of securities. The distinct
improvement in copper metal buy
ing along with more hopeful reports
from the automobile industry
should, We feel, in the near future
serve to focus attention on the po-
tentialities of these groups, which so
far have been extremely slow in
making market Roadway. Yields OF
many Of the leading stocks in these
two groups are SO generous that we
can not refrain from drawing atten-
ton to their possibilities. and we
suggest that seasoned stocks in both
of these groups merit consideration
at around present levels.
