MARKET GAINS
WIPED OUT

NEW YORK, June 1 GN.SO.
The stock market turned abrupt
ly downward after a spectacular
opening today following the over
night news that the Senate had
passed sufficient taxes to balance
the budget.
A break in the utility stocks
was responsible for resumption Of
the major decline and brought
renewed liquidation throughout
the list. Opening gains of from
to more than 5 points were
wiped out and in many cases
losses were substituted.
A number of leading issues fell
to new lows. American Telephone,
which had sold up to 81, broke
under 86, the lowest price at
which this premier issue has sold
this century. Others to break
through previous resistance levels
included u. S. Steel common and

G.N.S.).-Walter Merrick, 45,
white farmer, was taken from
his cell in the county Jail here

dragged two miles from town,
and hanged to tree.
Merrick was awaiting trial
June 13 on charges of dynamit-

store at Hopson, nine miles from
here. last February 8. P'Pool
was seriously injured in the blast,
as was 13-year-old Harold Nabb,
playing nearby.
Revenge Was Motive
Authorities charged Merrick
and P'Pool had quarreled and
the dynamiting was in revenge.
Six automobiles carried the
men to the lynching.
They gathered on the outskirts
of the city and at midnight their
leader rang the Jail door bell.
AS Night Jailer Curtis Jones
opened the door, he faced a
dozen revolvers. The leader said:
1--WE want Merrick."
Without another word the mob
pressed on into the jail office.
Three men remained with Jones,
tying him hand and foot and tax
ing his keys. The others went to
MerrickS cell.
The prisoner was awakened.
The mob leader said:
Lets CO."
Merrick said:
whats this all abOut?"
Then he apparently realized his
fate. and acquiesced with only a
mild protest.
Speeded Out of Town
He was half dragged, half car
ried to one of the automobiles and
speeded out of town.
It was a half hour before
Jailer Jones broke his bonds and
telephoned Sheriff Press Black
burn, who with deputies hunted
in vain for the mob.
Shortly after dawn Paul Grant,
a youth. travelling along the road,
came upon Merrick's body hang
ing from tree. Officers cut
down the body and brought it
here.

BYRNS.
Committee Chairman Brands
Senate Plan Unfair; Stiff
Battle Awaited

Adoption by the House of
the Senate Appropriations
Committee plan to reduce all
Government salaries 10 per
cent was predicted today by
Representative Joseph w.
Bryns, chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee in
the event the play slash is ap-
proved by the Senate.
Continued pressure on House
members from their constituents
throughout the country and the
desire to adjourn Congress prob
ably would permit House adop-
tion of the straight 10 per cent
cut If it is sent to the lower
branch by the Senate, Byrns said.
The House has passed an IL
per cent cut, with $4,000 exemp-
tions.
Senate Act Called Unfair
The proposal of the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee was char
acterized by Byrns as obviously
unfair and likely to cause drastic
conditions to exist among lower
salaried employees who now exist
on the ragged edge of poverty.
Savings proposed by the Senate
committee could be effected as
easily by using graduated scale,
exempting lower salaries and re-
ducing pay in the highest brackets
as much as Is per cent, ByrnS
said.
Senate Battle On
ByrnS was formerly the chair.
man of the House economy Com
mittee and at that time advocated
the graduated scale reductions,
but resigned from the chairman
ship when it became apparent
that majority of the committee
was likely to approve the sugges-
ton for an II per cent cut, after
a $1,000 exemption, which was
submitted by Representative John
McDuffie CD of Alabama, who
later became chairman.
In a report submitted to the
Senate late last night, the
Senate Appropriations Committee
proposed a flat reduction of 10
per cent in all Government pay,
excepting the enlisted personnel
Of the Army, Navy, and Marine
Corps.
$238,6O5,OOO Slash
The Senate bill aims to lop
Of some $238, ,605, 900 in Federal
expenditures for the next fiscal
year.
In addition to it's salary slash,
the Senate committee went so
far as to authorize the heads of
executive departments to furlough
Subordinates 'in order to keep

The Senate committee exceeded
expectations even of the White
House and the Treasury Depart
ment by restoring many of the
original items proposed by the
