FINANCE BODY GETS'
DOWN TO BUSINESS
Reconstruction Corporation
Opens First Days Work
With Full Membership.

BY the Associated Press.
A prediction that politics and favor
itism would be forgotten today uShered
in the $4,000, ,000, 600 Reconstruction
y Corporations first full work day since
formal completion of its board of direc-
tors.
The last two directors-Atlee Pom
er"nc, Ohio Democrat. and Charles A.
Miller Utica, N. Y. Republican-were
sworn in yesterday. Pomerene was
elected chairman and Miller president.
This completed reorganization Of the
corporation ordered by Congress at the
suggestion of President Hoover.
Pomerene's Statement.
Pcmerene's prediction is this:
IT think that the prevailing senti-
ment of the board will be that there
shall be no partiSanship Sectionalism
or favoritism in operation of affairs OF
the corporation.
I'VE are passing through a world
crisis, the greatest perhaps that civili-
country in the world. We are the
weslthiest country in the world. We
have felt the depression sorely. But
We will get out of it if we have the
spirit of the entire people behind US"
With Pomerenc in Office. the Demo-
Gratis have four Of the seven board
members, nominal control cf the cor
poration.
President Hoover's attitude, however,
doubtless will be considered by the
board, since Democratic leaders have in
sisted that upon him must rest re-
sponsibility for the corporations relief
work. ..... .-. 81
Price Decline Checked.
The huge agencys rehabilitation pro-
gram proceeds just as the Agriculture
Department reported it had found "a
number of changes that may mean the
steady decline in farm prices has been
checked"
The August / survey of the depart
ment, said J. Clyde Marquis of the Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics, makes
it appear that "the general landslide of
prices" has been 'leveled out for a few
weeks"
The index of general farm prices rom
June is to July Is went up poir~- be-
cause of increased returns for hog cat
tie, cotton and some major crops, he
added, while the advance in grains,
particularly wheat, did not come until
after July Is. But on the whole, he
said. this months change in farm
prices is the greatest gain recorded in
any one month since July Is, 1929"

Charles M. Hay, veteran prohibitioniSt,
and Charles NJ Howell, who announced
he stood on the Democratic national
platforms repeal plank, are the prin-
cipal contestants. Henry w. Kiel, re-
