Dividend Action Due Today on
LackaWana, Liquid CarboniC,
Cash Register and Anaconda
BY w. 8. COUSINS

NEW YORK, March 26 U.N.S0.
The favorites in the industrial
and utility stocks made another
half.hearted effort to push ahead
to higher levels today, after an
early setback which marked OFF
q point or two from current
prices.
For the first time in a week
or more, the gas and electric
light stocks displayed definite
leadership in the rally, ConSon-
dated Gas moving ahead about 2
points to l081a.
Foundry Prices Up
Stocks of the iron pipe and
casting companies continued the
forward move which started yes
terday under the lead Of United
States Pipe and Foundry. j. /.
Case, Worthington Pump, Amerl-
can Can and Westinghouse ap-
peared to be grooming for another
forward move in the second hour.
Four important industrial con-
Germs will take dividend action
today. The list included Cash
Register, Liquid Carbonic, Ana
conda Copper and Lackawanna,
the last the outstanding repre-
sentative of the rails.
\ Wall Street looked for continu-
alton of the Anaconda dividend,
but would not be surprised at a
cut in the others. The market,
however, was expected to "take"
these dividend cuts, as well as
others to follow, in the natural
course of events.
Auto Accessories Firm
j. I. Case moved up 4 points
to 1171a. American Can again
pushed ahead to the best levels
of the year above 629. Houston
Oil displayed the same brand of
strength and activity as in the
close of yesterdays session and
moved up 11a to 61A.
The automobile accessory stocks
and the airplane stocks were
conspicuously active and firm,
and the rails, though inactive,
commanded slightly higher prices.

continue as long as no solution Is found
to the problem of recurring unemploy-
ment. This Is our shame"
Mr.. Meeker advocated q reorganiza-
ton OF all industries, something along
the Russian 5-year plan, but with i'm
provements," as remedy for unem-
ployment. The reorganization, he said,
should provide for complete co-opera-
ton between the Government and in
duStry and between industry and labor,
SO that consumption demand" will not
exceed production.
The real causes of unemployment"
Mr.. Meeker stated are, first, utter lack
OF planned production to meet a rational
consumption demand; secondly, lack
of = co-ordinated, controlled monetary
and credit system" and, thirdly, ''natu-
raj calamitous processes"
Curse Of Prosperity.
Mr.. Meeker remarked that the topic
OF his lecture well might have been
The Curse of Prosperity-Its Cause
and Cure" He recounted a list of
alleged causes" of unemployment, such
as overprOduction, underconsumption
chronological improvements and the
like, but said these do notSg go to the
root OF the evil.
In referring to the Russian system
OF planned production, he declared that
"all OF us, no matter how thoroughly
American We are, have something of
communism and socialism in our
makeup"

SIX ARMY PAPERS
. TO Be MAINTAINED
Associations Plan to Issue
Journals Despite Ban
on Advertising.

Notwithstanding the restrictions i'm
posed upon them by an amendment to
the Army appropriation act, which
aims at elimination Of paid advertising
in all publications of the various
branches of the Army at least six Of
the most important publications issued
in Washington will continue ID be is
sued, even though they may be pub
lished without advertising OF any de-
scription within their covers.
One of them, the Infantry Journal,
published by the Infantry Association
as its official organ and considered by
Infantry officers as valuable maya
zine, will come out within 8 fortnight
with all paid advertisements deleted.
Another, the Coast Artillery Journal,
has not reached q decision to eliminate
all advertisements. High officers of
these services have no mention of re-
signing from the associations which
govern the publications, but the is
suance of the magazines necessarily
will be somewhat curtailed.
Pointer Held Doomed.
In the opinion of Majs. r. B. Catron
and S. S. Giffin, editors, respectively, of
the Infantry Journal and the Coast Ar
tillery Journal, those time -honOred pub
locations of the United States Military
Academy at West Point, the Howitzer
and the Pointer will have to suspend
publication.
Maj. Catron explained that the chief
of Infantry and the chief of Coast Ar
tillery have designated Catron and Gift
fin as the publicity men in their Offices

RED 5-YEAR PLAN
PROPOSED FOR u. S.
Royal Meeker, Former U. S,
Official, Flags Dole System
for Unemployed.

When an Eskimo is incapacitated for
work he is put out of his misery by a
well directed blow on the head, but in
more civilized America the idle man is
shunted to the hreadline or poorhouse.
This contrast was drawn last night
by Royal Meeker, formerly United
States commissioner OF labor statistics,
III a lecture on unemployment at the
Central Y. NJ. c.. A., under auspices
OF the Alumni Association of South
eastern University.
Cure for Unemployment.
"The Eskimos have a very simple
cure for unemployment" Mr.. Meeker
told a large audience. When q men,
Der of the tribe is incapacitated by rea-
son of age or infimity. his sympathetic
comrades end his distress by hitting
him on the head.
Here in America, instead of hitting
the idle one on the head, we prolong
his suffering by putting him in bread
line or sending him to a charitable in
stitution. We put him on the dole Of
charity's bitter bread.

Over Measured Course
+ in Study of Speed.

Flight tests of the little collapsible
Navy-Loening submarine plane" de-
signed to be carried aboard United
states submarines, were begun today at
the Anacostia Naval Air station.
Work on the speed tests was expected
to take up today's program for the
plane Ofhcers OF the flight test sec
put the plane over the measured speed
course extending down river from the
Anacostia station to determine pre-
cisely the speed ut various throttle set
tings and the speed at various rates OF
climb.
Easily Slowed on Sub.
Preliminary work on the. plane, not
involving flight tests, has been COM
pleted and the ship was prepared for
flight yesterday afternoon. The plane
is very small, powered with 1l0-horse-
power motor. and Is designed so that
Il may be taken apart and stored in
an 8-foot tube aboard the submarine
within 3 minutes.
If accepted, following the rigorous
fight tests, which probably will con-
tinue through this week and next, the
craft is expected to increase materially
the effectiveness of the undersea fight

detrimental fighter which has been given
hight and carrier landing tests for sew
eral months. The plane Is to be re-
built with q view to obtaining better
visibility for the pilot in making land
