New York, May Is (UP)-High- grade issues in all groups resumed leadership of the stock market toe day and prices mounted to net gaints of 1 to more than 5 points in moderately active turnover.
 The market derived new strength from President Roosevelt's message to 54 nations urging action toward reduced armaments and "strug- gle against economic chaos" The message served to allay fears over the probable content of the Hitler message due tomorrow.
 Before the president made pub lie his message, the list was firm in all divisions. Several groups. including sugars. packing issues. the so-called wet stocks and sev- eral, special issues made specta- icular gains. The impressive streng- tn of such stocks as U. s. Steel, American TeIephone, Allied Chem ical, Eastman, American Can, and Union Pacific, however. indicated return of strong investment buying and served to bring new buying into all sections or the list.
 Shorts in American Telephone covered in advance of the dividend meeting scheduled for tomorrow. Traders were of the opinion the regular would be declared. New

force in world economies, despite the fact that America does not recognize Russia Automatically.
 The, presidents attitude was foreshadowed today when he di- rectly addressed message to the head of the Soviet state.
 Sources close to the president would neither deny nor confirm re- ports that full diplomatic recogni- tion would be accorded Russia be- fore the opening of the world economic conference. But whether or not an American envoy is sent to Moscow. it was said. America does not intend to allow lack of recognition to prevent full cooper ation with the Soviet Union at the London meeting.
 Other developments in this con- nection were statement by Sem ate Majority Leader Robinson, de- claring the presidents move may have the effect of recognizing the Soviet Union. and the remark of Senator Borah, repn, Ida. that the communication with Moscow was "a bright spot"
 Some republican senators agreed with Robinson's opinion.
 The policy for the economic con ference contrasts sharply with that followed by the Hoover adminis- tration. When Secretary of State Stimson went to the disarmament conference in Geneva last year he scrupulously avoided meeting the Russian Foreign Commissar. Max i'm Litvinoff.
 Although the United States pre- viousIy has joined in a number of attended by Russia. the American delegations sought to es- cape all direct contact with the Russians.

that the former National City Bank chief never made an actual sale of stock and never received a penny for it.
 Medalie told the jury:
 1. That no money passed be- tween Mitchell and his wife in the alleged sale 1S,300 shares of Ma tional City Bank stock, late in 1929.
 2. That Mitchell continued to receive dividends on the stock.
 8. That Mitchell continued to pay interest to the Morgan firm on the loan for which this stock was collateral.
 4. That transaction by which Mitchell "sold' $500 shares of An aconda Copper to w. D. Thornton his friend, was also engineered through the House of Morgan. and that the stock was never actually sold to Thornton.
 After brief recess, the prosecu- tor attacked the question of Mitchelrs participation in a "man agement fund" of the aNtional $666.6G6.66.
 His salary from the National City bank" Medalie said. twas $75,0O0. His salary from the Ma tional City company was $25,000. But he received $666, 6,666.66 from the management fund which he claims was not income but an 'ad- vance by the company to him. a claim which we will show was ab- solutely false."
 Mot until two years afterward, when private and public officials were getting curious. did they fin- ally show in their book that Charles E. Mitchell owed this money and when they did mako the entry, they did it in such a way as to show that the company didn't regard it as a genuine obli- gation."
 Medalie concluded by declaring that "this entire transaction must be regarded as a fraud and a cheat against the government. which pro- tected him and his business"
 DISCREPANCIES
 New York, May 16.-UP)-The discrepancies between the govern ment's figures for Charles E. Mitchelrs reputed income in 1929 and 1850, and MitchelFS official re- turns to the income tax department are emphasized in the following table:
 1929 indictment claims gross in- come = $3,649.623; deductions net income $3,466,324; tax payable $728,709.
 Mitchell reported: Gross income deductions-$183.299; net loss-$4S,899; tax paid-00O.
 1880 indictment claims: Gross income $923,S36: deductions $299,198; net income $624,637; tax payable-$121,719.

D. c. UTILITIES ACT
CHANGE PROPOSED
Congress to Get Suggestion
of Commission Late
This Week.

The Public Utilities Commission plans
to forward to Congress late this week
a proposed amendment of the local
utilities act designed to limit findings
by District courts, in case of contests
over commission orders. to questions OF
law, it was announced today.
The purpose of the amendment would
be to prevent the courts from engaging
in an entire review of the facts in a
contested utility case, as has been done
in the past and to bar the courts
from making their own valuation of a
utility property, as was done in one
case.
Draft Prepared.
The draft of the proposed amend
been prepared and now is being studied
by Corporation Counsel Bride. He IA
vors the general principle of the pro-
posed change, he said today. The mat
ter is expected TO be acted on by the
commission at It's session Thursday.
The proposal was made first to Con-
gress in 1880 in an amendment to the
then proposed street car merger bill. in
troduced by Senator Blaine of Wiscon-
sin. 1t was deleted from that bill be-
cause it was held to apply to all utili-
ties here and not merely to the street
car companies.
Keech Approves.
Richmond B. Keech, peoples counsel,
today voiced approval of the proposal
declaring its adoption would prove
highly desirable in preventing two trials
of the same case as to facts, once by
the utilities commission and again by
the courts.
The proposal would apply to commis-
sion orders where the facts adduced are
substantially supported by evidence.
