CHINESE TRADE
AID STUDIED

Because of the vast potential
consumption power of China, for
eign trade promotion experts
evinced keen interest today in re
ports to the Commerce Depart
ment of the creation of national
economic planning commission for
that country.
This commission, according to
advices, will be employed as a
means of controlling constructive
activities of the central and local
governments and for drafting pro-
grams in commerce and industry,
something along the fiVe-year plan
in Soviet Russia.
The proposal is now before the
legislative Yuan as result OF a
resolution adopted by the Chinese
central political council.
If such a system is put into
practice, American officials see in
China an outlet for an increasing
percentage of exports from the
United States. China already is
a good customer of this country,
while large quantities of raw ma
terials are imported to the United
States from China.

MEANINGLESS

NEW YORK, May % UN.S.),
The curb market settled back into
a generally meaningless trading
affair today, with stocks in gen.
eral disposed to back and fill at
no great distance from previous
closing levels.
Selling continued to converge
on the Cities Service group of
stocks, with common off fraction
ally to 1924, although noticeably
receiving a better grade of sup.
port than yesterday. The pre-.
ferred, however, broke sharply,
falling to a new low at 20, for a
loss OF 512 points.

apparently confident character,
this pivotal leader advanced to
1919 for a gain of close to a point,

turned somewhat wobbly at the
noon hour. Other issues of the
active type in this group per-
formed in similar fashion.

NEW YORK, May % GN.SD
A generally steadier tone was
maintained on the New York
cotton market during the fore,
noon trading today on higher
than expected Liverpool cables
and a good trade demand.
Trading, however, was only
moderately active. and after the
first call. some July liquidation
came into the market, which
was readily taken by spot firms.
At midday. May sold at 9.14,
up 2, July at 9.32, up 4, October

Farm Board will hold it's $780,

rains fell, some of them heavy,
over most of the belt. Also, the
nights and early mornings were
too cold.
Traders find it impossible to
express an opinion as to the i'm
mediate course of prices, which
may be governed as much py
developments in the stock mar
ket and other major commodi-
ties as by developments which
pertain more directly to cotton.

GAIN IN RETAIL
TRADE SHARP

The cverage. consumer is now
beginning to buy in earnest, &C.
cording to the fourth of a series
of studies by the Investors Syndi-
cate of Minneapolis.
The sudden gain in retail buy
ing which occurred in April sent
retail trade totals up 8.2 per
cent from the March average.
This is one of the most favora-
BILE business indications that has
occurred for some time, the re-
view points out. since the Syndi-
cate index is corrected for sea
Sonal changes.
Another factor which makes
the news the more cheering is
the fact that most of the Easter
buying came in March, this year,
which would tend to make the
comparison with April, 1880 ap-
pear unfavorable.
The explanation for this sud-
den upsurge in buying probably
lies in the greater purchasing
power which has resulted from a
stable .lcome from dividends and
wages during the last few months,
combined with sharp lowering
of the cost of living.

Officials and representatives of

berShip in the Federal reserve SyS-

H. H. Newell of Cleveland,
chairman of an important snh
committee which has made a de-
tailed study of the proposal, SAID:
System Is Lauded
"The events of the past two
years have given every banker
many occasions to be thankful
for a strong, liquid and eff
cient central banking system
in this country, and the con-
cluSiOn Of your committee is
that mutual savings banks
should, in the interests of our
vast number of depOSitOrS, at
tempt to obtain the privilege of
membership in the Federal re-
serve system"
For the first time a consoli-
dated statement of the assets and
Liabilities of the mutual savings
banks of the country was made
available at this gathering. 1t is
being closely studied in view of
the prime Importance of the ma
ture of securities in which the
funds of the banks are to be in
vested.
The report discloses that rail-
road bonds, always one of the
most favored types, have in many
instances been replaced by utili-

LESLIE MAY GO TO
BAT FOR BLACKTOP'

"Blacktop roads are approved in
Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and other
states and having ridden over them,
I know that many are not as well
constructed as those by our depart
ment.
II am not interested in this ma
terial fight, as such. merely want
the Indiana highway program not
to be hamstrung so that we can not
get the most for our money.
IF in billy country a bIacktou
road is practical, I believe that we
should get federal aid on it without
all the technical requirements as to
grade and the like that are con-
Stantly being laid down by VoshelI. 81
Leslie's proposed trip to Washing
ton may prove to be fruitless if
made. For former Commissioner
Jess Murden went there on a like

for the blacEtop paving program
with the hope of getting the IN

For even more than last year,
the federal aid is piling up to In
diana's credit at Washington.
Commissioners spent Thursday
trying to move J. T. Voshell, Chi

from his refusal to approve the
Indiana blacktop construction for
federal aid.
But their efforts were in vain.
VoShell stood his ground as he
has in the past.

ernor declared. "If necessary, 1 will
go to Washington to see what is the

patrons Of the Silver Grill, Kitty
Saunders was just a waitress, but
to scores of policemen who ate there
regularly, she was confeSSor, adVis-

Mrs. Saunders was one reason
why so many policemen ate at the
Silver Grill. Another was that it
is next door to the detective bureau.
Most Of the officers didn't even
know her last name or that her
husband had deserted her and that
she had hard time supporting
two children. To them she was the
girl with the smile.
Last Saturday, Kitty seemed sad
I'm going away" she told them,

That afternoon she was operated
on. Thursday she died. Today the
policemen patrons learned her true
story and took up a collection for
