Ford Leads In Plan
 To Brighten Voters
Senator Connaly of Texas Critizes This Method Of
 Vote-Getting in Behalf of President Hoover

Washington. - Senator Tom Connally of Texas comments upon Henry Ford's notice to his en- ployees that MT Hoover must be elected" as follows:
 Henry Ford is evidently to DC the industrial bellwether in the campaign which the republican party will make between now ana election day in an effort to fright en and club the workers of the country into voting for Herbert Hoover. MT Ford is as usual naive in his statement that he is not 1n- terested in partisan politics.
 Nothing could be more partisan than his statement that President Hoover must be elected to prevent times from getting worse.' How can MT Ford say this in the face of the fact that under MT Hoover and the policies that his admins tration has put into effect MT Ford has just receded from his mlnl- mum wage policy of $5 a day for the first time?
 "The psychology of fear cam paign is the most partisan weapon the republicans have at their com mand. It has been used by them in numerous campaigns but never under such circumstances as to- day when the economic life of the land is nearly prostrate. ...
 "The fear which permeates the ranks of republican officeholders and supporters cannot be spread this year among the workers. Their intense suffering which they know has been caused by the mal- administration of the Hoover ad- ministration, is too real to be as-

 New York, October 31 = (UPl
 Gains and losses just about balanced each other in today's stock market session which was one of the 'lightest days in more than 8 years.
 In rare instances net changes exceeded a point. and these gen. orally were in inactive issues. Drug, Inc, was sold down a point on fears over the dividend. General Motors held well as its dividend meeting approached.
 Railroad issues were lowering around the previous close all day despite indications of another de- cline in car loadings for the week ended October 28. Public Utlili- ties were depressed the most or any group, with public service off more than a point and Peoples Gas off points. American Tele- phone ranged over an arc of a ht- tie more than point and was steady late in the day.
 Steel common and preferred fs- sues rose fractionally. The street was given a mild jolt when it was learned the premium on Steel pre- fcrred had been advanced to $6 per hundred, shares. That, how ever, was not considered high in terms of the point premiums in ef- feet before the present dollar sys- tenn. On the old basis this would be a 1-16th premium.
 Small gains were noted in Chrys- Ter, International Harvester, Sea- board Oil, Liquid Carbonic, Sears Roebuck and Westinghouse Elec- tric.

The foregoing issues were features on the downside, but in all but para mount volume was small and of no significance marketwise.

CHICAGO WHEAT

Chicago, Oct 31.-(UP)-The decline of wheat prices to an all- time low was checked today by brisk rally on the Chicago board of trade.
