NEW YORK, March At seems a long jump from a newspaper city room to a high place in the realm of finance, but it is the road many have travelled.
 Pages of the Who's Who of the financial world are replete with names of men who once knew the thrill of scanning the pages of a freshly printed newspaper and find ing what they had written.
 Illustrious names in finance Thomas w. Lamont. Frank A. Van derlip and Francis H Sisson-head the list of those who yielded power through the printed word as a stepping stone to a domain where dollars rule.
 Former newspapermen are off, cers of some of New York's largest banks and quite few are either members of the New York stock exchange or executives of member firms.
 Some first became acquainted with the machinery of finance as financial reporters. Others har- ried city editors of newspapers in

VINE VAR WITH
 FRANCE HITS ALL
 SPANISH BUSINESS

MADRID, Mafcn 4.-France and Spain, two of the "big three" among wine producing countries, are in dispute over restrictive measures against importation of the juice If the grape in France.
 Since the United States was closed as a market, Spain has found France its best customer, especial ly for wines of a low alcoholic con- tent. But now the country is fac ing the loss of its chief customer for the second time and the whole business structure is showing the effects.
 Commercial organizations have urged the government to retaliate by terminating the Franco Spanish trade agreement. They have point ed out that Spain imports from France more goods than she sends across the Pyrenees and. they ar que that a break in this trade might give France a different view point on the wine question.
 But when Pierre Etienne Fan dine, French minister of commerce, was in Madrid recently, he ex- plained that 1t was an economic which had caused his gov- ernment to enact the restrictive on wine.
 France" he said, lis the lead ing wine producer of the world. We have had enormous grape crops for two years in succession and our cellars contain so much wine that we have no chance to get rid of the surplus through our export channels.
 Therefore we had to encourage consumption and one of the most effective methods of doing that was to restrict importation of foreign wines"

 VIRGINIA'S LESSON
Battle in Texas, Florida, Alabama, Kentucky, Ten
 nessee, North Carolina

ATLANTA, Ga, March 4.-De- spite the Virginia experience last
 fall the Republicans in several Southern States are making plans for vigorous State campaigns this year and have issued cordial invita- tions for Democrats who voted the Republican Presidential ticket in 1928 to join them.
 The Texas Republicans, through their State Executive Committee, passed a resolution inviting Demo- crats to become permanent mem bers of their party.
 For the first time since recon lstruction days, the Republicans will hold a State primary election in Florida. Although the State went
 for the Republican Presidential ticket, the Democrats elected their entire State ticket.
 Alabama Republicans also have Ithe privilege for the first time of holding a State primary election. : the party having boiled more than b25 per cent. of the vote at the last
 election.
 Having this right to attract Dem-
 ocrats who helped to carry the
 State for Hoover, Virginia Republi-
 cans formed a coalition with the
 Anti-Smith organization in 1929. The Democrats won the State cleo
 tion last November by more than TO- GOO majority, one of the largest
 on record The General Assembly
 contains only nine Republicans. In spite of this smashing defeat, Anti
 Smith leaders recently joined with
 Republicans in renominating Con- gressman Menaleus Lankford of i Norfolk in the Second Virvin:a
 Congressional District.
 Two straight party tickets are ex- pected to be in the field in Ken lucky, Tennessee and North Caro- lima, all of which gave their elec-
 toral votes to President Hoover. It is expected that the Demo- crats will be unopposed in Missis- sippi, Louisiana and South Caro- lima.
