Profit-Taking Absorbed
Profit-taking was tremendous,
but this was absorbed with only
temporary setbackS as initiation

The advance was accompanied
by an upruSh in commodities and
strength in bonds while the dol

Gold stocks were the pace
makers. Close behind were the
rails and farm stocks, while
leaders like du Pont, American
Can, Steel command and pre-

Telephone and the alcohol issues
were at the head of the boom.
Dollars Fall Rapid
The dollar crashed to IA points
against foreign currencies, the

rise. Sterling spurted Az cents to
$3.9612. Weakness was duplicated
in foreign markets.
Commodities Zoomed, led by
wheat and silver, the former soar

Foreign markets were stimulated

HITLER AIMING
At CORRIDOR

News SerYice.)


PARIS, May 27.-Chancellor
Adolph Hitler has made return of
the Polish corridor to the Reich
the price of effective German CO.
operation at the disarmament
conference, International News
Service learned today, with revela-
tions that the corridor is the cen
ter of undercover negotiations be-
tween Berlin, Paris and Warsaw.
Arguing that reunion of East
Prussia with Germany is inev-
liable as the eventual price of
peace between the Reich and
other continental nations, Hitler
has stressed through his ambas-
sadorS that the corridor, long a
bone of German-Polish conten-
tion, is the prime foreign inter
est of the Nazis.
The German chancellor, to at
tain his aim, is ready to enter
into the closest sort of coopera-
ton with Poland and to accept
merely juridicial arms equality
provided the corridor revcrtS to
German rule.
Tomorrow's election in the
free city of Danzig is expected
to throw the weight of influence
to Hitler's side, since a Nazi
victory followed by arrest of Re
publican and Socialist political
leaders is expected.

sign their posts because their
names appeared on j. P. Nor
gan's "preferred list" Of
stock purchasers, rocked Penn
sylvania political circles to-
day.
The Governor called upon JUS
tices William I. Schaffer and
John w. Kephart to resign from
the State Supreme Court, de-
claring that he would remove
them at once" had he the power
to do so.
Attacks House Of Morgan
He coupled his demand with .
slaShing attack on the practices
of the House of Morgan and "the
high priests Of concentrated
wealth."
Pinchot's denunciation followed
by a few hours the demand of
Warren Van Dyke, Democratic
State chairman, that unless
Judges Schaffer and Kephart,
and Judge Thomas j. Baldrige,
of the Superior Court, removed
themselves from the bench, the
Governor should demand their
designations.
Pinchot's statement read:
81 call upon Justice Kephart
and Justice Schaffer to resign.
'If I had the power I would
remove them at once. The
people Of Pennsylvania are en-
titled to courts that are wholly
free from the suspicion of
secret relations with public
utilities, public utility bankers,
or the high priests of cOncen-
trated wealth.
SHOCKING REVELATIONS
"One of the most shocking
revelations in the whole history
of public life in this country is
told in the newspapers Of the
last two days.
"At last the MOngan inveSti-
CATION lets us look under the
lid of big business. And under
the lid are men of power and
influence in the nation and the
State taking secret favOrS
worth large sums of money
from Wall Street, from the
head center of concentrated
wealth in America.
"This is how the money
power operates deliberate
plan to put men in all walks
of life under obligations. This
is the money power in action"
The Governor added:
"Under the lid are three jus
ticeS of the supreme court Of
Pennsylvania being offered, and
at least two of them accepting
gifts from the greatest public
utility bankers in America.

Merchants believe the condition will
not be temporary. They have begun
to lay in larger stocks. At Grand

was that increased business would run

Conditions appear to have brought
about naturally what the Department

vices set up in the farm relief meas
ure, according to farm experts who
have been watching the plight Of the
farmers for many months. They hope
that by the time another crop season
comes the general tone Of business will
be such, coupled with measures to hold
down acreage, that the farm outlook
will resume normal.
Locally, the packing companies have
begun to employ more men. Four hun

been put in the path of the workers.
