HUGE BREAD SUPPLY
PLEDGED us. NEEDY
American Bakers AsSoCia-

. Million Pounds Weekly.

From 5 to 10 million pounds of
unsold bread will be given in weekly
contributions for the nations needy,
Henry Stude, president of the Ameri-
can Bakers Association, today prom
ised the American Red Cross.
Chairman John Barton Payne has
notified Red Cross chapters that Stude
also offered the services of 80 per cent
of the bakers in the United States for
baking bread, without profit, from
Government wheat now being distrib-
uted by the Red Cross.
Payne Praises Bakers.
He instructed chapters to make ar
rangements with local bakers for un-
sold bread and bakery products, The
baking of bread at cost also should be
arranged. Payne said, by agencies han
ding relief and -four distribution.
Judge Payne praised the action of
the bakers and said local relief organ
izations should seize this opportunity
to conserve relief resources, at the same
time meeting relief needs"
THE baking industry recognizes the
present emergency for food relief" p"
Stude said, and wishes to cooperate
in helping make possible the greatest
assistance to the greatest number.
Operate "a Hours a Day.
1.-The industry in its "a hours a day
operation, has on hand at the close
of each day bread and other bakery
products which, to each baker, are only
a small per cent of its output, but
which, in the aggregate. constitute an
amount which may run between 5
and 10 million pounds week
The Bakers president said much of
the bread thus available is already be-
ing given to relief agencies, but the
bakeries are anxious to increase their
part in hunger relief and are willing
when such supplies are insufficient, to
convert into bread, at cost, flour re-
ceived by relief agencies from the Red
Cross.

ance levels.
The immediate outlook techni.
cally is bullish. When the stock
list failed to react more than one
half of the distance attained in
the January to IA rise, it gave a
clear-cut indication that the up,
trend had not been reversed.
Strength Impressive
If that were not sufficient evi-
dence of the underlying strength
OF the market, then the perform
arce of stocks at time when so
important a leader as General
Electric was breaking to new
bear market level was particularly
impressive.
If the process of readjustment
as concerns individual stocks can
continue to have as little effect
upon the general price structure
as in the foregoing instance, then
much in the way of obstacles to
further recovery has been re
moved.
Something in the way of test
may be witnessed as the highs Of

market, as measured by the Dow.

stands at 82.57, as compared with

take place which could throw all
