Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 29.-The widely
predicted reaction in the stock market
came today, but it was mild affair
Active stocks sold off l to points on
small volume and without bringing in
any important liquidation. Here and
there a special issue advanced against
the trend.
Among the features in the last hour
were the strength in United Aircraft, in
international Shoe, and the selling of

all day, most of the time being higher

weakened toward the end. In general
the market, considering the scope of
last weeks advance, acted very well.
At the opening there was no definite
information as to the exact situation
in Paris with regard to the negotiations
on the international debt moratorium
In the commodity field the only news
was an advance in the price of copper
and zinc. Railroad earnings made their
usual unfavorable comparison with
those of year ago. All told, the mar
ket had little else to reflect than opin-
ions about its technical position and

The rails came down rather easily.
The only reason for the advance in the

was still the same doubt about the at
titude of the Interstate Commerce Com

err freight rates and there was still the
same unfavorable immediate earning
outlook. The decline in the rails was
larger than that in the industrials and

LOANS ON STOCKS
IN SHARP DECLINE
Securities Lending by Banks Is
Now Believed on
Sounder Basis.

BY the Associated Press.
The present position of banks with
respect to loans on securities approx
mates the level set by leading bankers
as indicative Of a sound financial
structure.
The latest statement of the Federal

Der banks totaling $6,720. 000, 900, a de-
probation of about 81 900 900, 900 since
the first of the year and of 81 1856, 00O,-

"All other" loans of member banks
now dominate the lending accounts,
the latest week showing $7,862 900 900.
Whereas the security loans dropped
ST. ,000,c00 during the latest reporting
period, all other loans showed an ad-
vance of $12.000,O00 during the week.
For the last IL months all other loans
have declined but S658,000, 000.
Brokers loans, as reported by the
board, for the week ended June "a.
stand at $1,406, 100000, considerably
below the level of the normal year of
1926 A decline of $2,010 900 600 is
shown as compared with II months ago.
The peak in brokers' loans was reached
in the Fall of 1929, when the total was
Just less than $1,000, 100000.
Non-banking lenders, it is said here.
have been practically eliminated from
the money market due to the prevailing
low rates, leaving to the banks them
selves the control of credit for specu-
latlye and Investment purposes.

Hoover Urged by Lea
To Consider Plan

SANTA ROSA, Calf, June &c
(USD Representative Clarence
F. Lea has sent a telegram tc
President Hoover asking him tc
call a special session of Congress
ito consider the William Randolph
Hearst prosperity loan plan. The
telegram follows. in part:
eff the existing depression
continues into the winter
months without a very substan-
tial abatement, the country
will, in my judgment, rightly
expect the Federal Government
to take a more far-reaching
part in relieving unemployment
and reviving business. The ex-
treme depth of the present
depression is due to OvercautiOuS
diStruSt of the immediate fu.
ture that now cause large re-
sources of the nation in labor
and capital to remain idle.
This condition is an arti-
ficial depression of business, the
antidote for which can largely
be applied without defying nat.
ural laws of trade. We need the
stimulation of more employ
ment, business investments and
activities from all possible
sources, including the Federal,
State and local government and
private business enterprise.
I'm any event the deter.
mined purpose of the Govern
mcnt, confirmed by Congress,
to invest its money in the legit-
innate enterprises of the Gov
crnment to relieve unemplOy-
ment and furnish leadership
out of the economic depression
would in itself have a whole
some influence in overcoming
that diStruSt that now exceeds
economic restoration"

Next Tuesday night will offer a
real treat for those who like good
political speaches, and listeners
particularly who have Democratic
leanings.
Between 8 and $50, Claude G.
Bowers, editorial writer for the
New York Journal and, also, a
contributing editor to the back OF
The Washington Times, will be
heard under the auspices of the
Democratic National Committee.
Mr.. Bowers is a brilliant
speaker. as those who heard his
keynote speech in the 1928 Demo-
cratic convention will readily re-
call. He is the author of "Hamil-
ton and Jefferson" very read
able and authentic volume on our
patriotic forefathers. Mr.. Bowers
is one forensic headliner who
scorns the usual political bum
combe. He is interesting because
he talks common sense and makes
a simple. but tremendously force

REVEALS STILL
DRAW CROWDS

Washington has had an old
fashioned revival in face of the
predictions by many that the day
of revivals is over. Scenes like
in the time of Wesley and Moody
have been in evidence. Crowds
night after night have proved
that the old gospel is still popu-
lar with the people.
The idea was conceived by
the Rev. Harry L. Collier and
members of the Full Gospel Tab
ernacle, North Capitol and K
StS., and the services of Edith
Mae Pennington, who had left
the stage for the field of evan
gelism, were obtained to lead the
crusade. This was her first ven
ture in evangelistic work in the
East, and has proved a revelation
to many who did not know of
her work. Her last services will
be held Sunday at IL a. M, at
the Tabernacle, and at 7:30 p. m.
at the Masonic Auditorium where
the campaign has been conducted.

Miss Riggles, Dennis King is as

diences. He never. clicked sensa.
tionally in England. Columbia re,
ports his first week of radio

One reason for the change is
the fact that the sponsors of the
hour have been swamped with re-
quests for admission to the studio.
In an effort to accommodate as
many of Chevalier's admirers as
possible, it has, therefore, been de-
cided to have the broadcast in the
Times Square studio.
Even the 900 seats there will
not take care Of more than a

singer rather likes the prospect
