LAW INTERFERENCE
IS LAID TO A.A.A.
Vehicle Administrators Told
Association Seeks to
Hamper Enforcement.

Charging officials of the American
Automobile Association with attempting
to ''intimidate State motor vehicle ad-
ministrators," a resolution of censure
was unanimously adopted late yesterday
at the closing session of the Eastern
Conference of Motor Vehicle Admins
traitors at the Hamilton Hotel
T. Mccall Frazier. Virginia Motor
vehicle commissioner who introduced
the resolution, repeated the charges this
morning in an address before the Street
and Highway Traffic Section of the
Safety Conference in session at Ward
man Park Hotel.
Threatened With Injunction.
MIR. Frazier declared officers of the
association and its various branches
we're bringing political pressure to bear
on enforcement officers in order to
have influential members of the asso-
citation excused from traffic penalties.
The motor vehicle administrators
went on record in favor of the joint
save-aslife campaign in the District,
Maryland and Virginia. The campaign,
as proposed by w. A. Van Duzer, direc-
tor of traffic for the District, calls for
inspection of the safety facilities of all
registered motor vehicles. This pro-
posed requirement the administrators
were informed, has been threatened
with injunction proceedings by local
A. A. A. officials.
The administrators adopted this lat
ter resolution on motion of Benjamin
G.. Eynon of Pennsylvania, who said
the campaign contemplates decided
improvement in street and highway
safety.
Laid to individuals.
Mr.. Frazier said he had no criticism
of the Automobile Association itself. but
rather of certain officials whom he felt
were abusing their privileges as heads
of a powerful organization.
Speaking as member Of the A. A. A,
in reply to Mr. Frazier, A. B. Barber
of the United States Chamber of Com
merce, chairman of this mornings
traffic conference, expressed confidence
that the legal department of the A. A. A.
will correct such deficiencies as they
be pointed out by fair criticism. He
said he was certain the association
served the ends of the motoring public
in fair and consistent manner. and
that the cases of obstructing traffic en-
forcement must be blamed on in
dividuals rather than on the organiza-
tion itself.

CHICAGO, April 2. - Advancing
strongly after a firm opening, wheat
prices ran up sharp gains on the
Board Of Trade today. Prices around
the top were between 2 and 3 cents
higher.
Buying by the southwest and re-
ports Of heavy export sales to
Europe overnight were the chief
factors, easiness in the stock mar
ket being ignored.
The southwest buying was on the
sensational crop damage reports
and melted general buying after the
trade had ignored these advices for
several days.
Export sales of hard winters were
placed around 100000 bushels.
Sentiment again turned bullish.
Corn suffered heavy liquidation
early but recovered on the strength
in wheat although gains were small.
Oats scored good advances with

At the close wheat was 215 to Us

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson g. McKinnon)


The market apparently had no
clearer idea of things today, iudg-
ing by the lower drifts of stocks.
Pressure became rather acute upon
the rails, effects of which were felt
throughout the list. Nervousness
which already had reached the
Straining point because of the tax
legislation. was added to apparently
by Senator Couzens introduction of
a bill whereby the power to make
railroad loans would be taken from
the reconstruction finance corpora
ton and vested in the interstate
commerce commission.
This seemingly led to liquidation
of all classes Of railroad securi-
ties. Apparently the market saw
mt to disregard the improvement in
both retail and wholesale trade no.
ted by the weekend reviews. The
same was true of President Hoo
ver's plea urging the abolition of
the shipping board in the interest
of government economy. Obviously.
the market is largely concerned with
the influence of disturbing politi-
cal events and that is contributing
materially to the prevailing uncer-
tainty.

In the Cotton Markets
CBv Thomson g McKinnonl

The cotton market was a tame
affair this morning with the trade
doing little and local traders bear
ish on lower security prices. There
was nothing in the news except ref
erences to the attempts being made
to restrict production among south
ern mills. AS the week closes, bet
ter weather in the south shows on
the map.
Prices at noon were eight points
lower. The market had no particu-
lar tone, being easily influenced
either way by orders. We see no
reason for changing our opinion of
cotton. We realize that the public
is too uncertain about political de-
velopments to take a great interest
in cotton so early in the season but
for this same reason, it might east
ly be that such low prices exist.
