Market Reached Up
 To High Levels As
 Wheat Went Upward
Industrial and Railroad Averages Were Better Ina at Any Time Since 193l-Wheat Market Jumpe' Up in One of Its Heavy Turnovers
By; ELMER C. wALZER (Unitcd Press Financial Editor)


 New York, June 26-(UP)-Sen- sational advances in wheat and cotton today brough corresponding gains in farm issues on the stock exchange and helped bring the in dustrial and railroad averages to the best levels since November, 19, l1931.
 The whole market moved higher | in heavy turnover that caused tickers to lag. Large blocks ap- peared.
 However, only about dozen is- sues made the broad gains. The list as a whole was up fractions | to 9 points. Aside from the farm issues, alcohols and other wet stocks bounded ahead. Stocks that would appreciate by higher com modity prices generally were in de-
 mand. One of the preferred is- sues in that group-van Raalte- was up almost 25 points. Utilities, which have been lag ging behind other groups, were in better demand. Several of the rails made new tops. Oils were better, Bethlehem jumped to a new high
 in the steel division where U. S' steel was up more than a point. ! The Telegraph company issues were bid up several points. Gold min ing issues were irregular. Motors ruled strong.
 In the excitement of the soaring commodities, Wall Street forgot about the dollar. which equaled it's low for the decline, and then re- covered. A report from London that the gold standard countries were nearing the end of their abil- | ity to continue gold payments had
 no effect.
 By 1 D. m. the volume for June had exceeded the 104,213,954

 Excellence in putting decided the issue. Burke holed a 24-foot putt over q stymie on the 23rd hole. Dudley sank one of 20 feet on the 2Gth. reducing the British lead to one hole.
 Brilliant putting also enabled Sarazen and Hagen to break even with Alliss and Whitecombe.
 Wood and Runyan were behind most 'of the afternoon because of the brilliant putting by Davies and Easterbrook.
 Shute and Dutra fought stub bornly in the afternoon round, and seemed to have a chance when birdies on the 29th and 30th holes reduced the margin to two down. The British, won the 31st, and the American won the 32nd. But Mitchell and Havers were dormie on the 33rd where Shute was near ly stymicd and missed three foot putt. The 34th was halved when the British mussed short putt for a win.

LARGE CROWD
SEES B0WERY'

Seats were few and hard to
find at the United Artists theater
last night, 1000 patrons were en-
joying the first effort of the new
est producer in the motion picture
field, goth Century Pictures, and
those who expected much from the
new company IS first picture, 1.-The
BoWery, ; featuring Wallace Beery,
Jackie Cooper, George Raft, and
Fay Wray; were not disappointed,
for "The Bowery' lives up to
even the greatest expectations.
Never has Beery appeared to
better advantage than in the role
of Chuck Connors, Bowery big
shot, y Jackie Cooper as SwipeS, -

the same pull at the heart strings
felt in 1.-The Champ" George
Raft s portrayal of Steve Brodie,
another famous Bowery character
is excellent, and Fay Wray is her
usual beautiful and charming self
as Lucy Calhoun. The picture will
be shown for the last times tonight.

promises of many more pictures of

HE-HEN NOT EXTINCT

Men, there is hope.
Those of us who have feared the mascu-
line portion of the nation is not as good
as it used to be can take heart from
the no-score tie game played between
Oregon State and the University of Cali
fornia
That the TroianS' winning streak has
at last been stopped, is big news. But
overshadowing it as the Empire State
building overshadows a switchman's
shanty, is the fact that the II men who
started the game for Oregon State fin
ished it. They played the full 60 min
utes without single substitution.
An incident like that is as rare these
days as hair on an egg, Jewish cheers for
Hitler, or Californian who doesn't talk
climate.
1t gives hope that eventually football
may get back to being a real contest.
Perhaps we can yet expect to see the
drop kick revived and not have the coach
Of a major college confess that out of So
candidates in his squad not one could
drop kick or even knew anything about
it. We may yet see the safety men run
back all punts instead Of watching the
majority of them drop to the ground. We
have hopes of ultimately listening to
barking quarterback instead of watching
a huddle.
Running in substitutes every few min
utes may help toward victory = and it
may not for some substitutes talk too
much = but it is hard on the spectators
who want action instead of continuous
parades.
Those Il Oregon State men deserve
the thanks of all sports followers for
demonstrating that 'it can be DONE"
Football fans throughout the country
will hope Oregon States example will be
followed by all other teams. If they
only will, football will draw even greater
crowds than it does now, and it will be
a much better game.

NO MORE INFORMATION TO BE
GIVEN OUT BY REVIEW BOARDS

boards swing strongly towards the
disabled, allowing nearly 100 per-
cent of the cases, in others nearly
rs percent. The Los Angeles boards
allowed approximately Is percent
in the first hundred cases reviewed
with an estimated average now Of
only 81 percent.
The special boards have rather
broad authority and the economy
act clearly intended that the re-
views and decisions be made delib-
erately and that the decisions be
based upon complete study of the
evidence in the file or available.
The delay in making appointments
of members of the special boards,
and the limited time for review
imposed by law. and the fact that
the Veterans Administration does
not want to extend that time, has
resulted in very unsatisfactory con-
ditionS in many of the reviewing
offices. There is a growing pres
sure for speed, on the part of the
special boards with the hope that
the reviews can be completed by
October 81. This demand for
speed is to a certain degree defeat
ing the intent of congress and the
intent of those who first proposed
the setting up of boards for delib-
crate review of these cases.

FESTIVAL FINE SUCCESS


El Centre has every reason to be proud
of Saturdays Fall Opening and Mer-
chandise Festival and The Press offers
Its congratulations to each and every
person who helped to make it a splendid
success, no matter in what capacity they
acted.
Mentioning names or specific instances
meriting praise is almost certain to be
unsatisfactory, for those not mentioned
may feel sighted forgetting that there
is glory enough for ALL
Back of the whole celebration was the
general committee, headed by J. Duke
Johnson. They planned we'll and out of
a mass of conflicting suggestions, they
welded a celebration of which any city
may be proud.
Because Of its very nature, the parade
was the outstanding point in the celebra-
ton. The particular committee in charge
j. r. Robertson, Leo Madden, and Bill
Hinderks is entitled to a bouquet. yet
when an attempt was made to hand one
to two of the committee Saturday they
modestly declined it and praised the CO.
operation of the paraders. saying this
made their success possible. The third
member Of the committee was not en-
countered, or he would undoubtedly have
said the same thing.
One of the happiest incidents of the
entire program was Meloland's success in
winning the honor Of furnishing the
queen of the festival. 1t was a popular
choice, made difficult by the excellence
of the other entries.
The boys program in the morning was
mentioned in Saturdays Press. 1t was
well handled and proved to be good fun.
Lack of sufficient space prohibits men,
tioning all those who contributed to the
street entertainment throughout the af-
ternoon and evening. The applause given
their efforts to entertain and the knowl-
edge that they were doing their part in
putting over community activity form
the best reward they can be given.
The fine spirit of friendliness between
two nations, emphasized by the appear
ance of the Mexicali military band in the
parade, did not go unnoticed. Spectators
applauded the band throughout the line
of march. Many comments praising their
playing and the neighborliness they typi-
fed, were heard frequently.
Worthy of commendatiOn also was the
fine work of the police department aug
mented by the men of the state squad, IN
handling traffic. The congestion at Sixth
and Main streets, and other points dur
ing the parade, called for system, tact,
and good nature. Spectators anxious to
see all, crowded forward as usual, max
ing it necessary for the police to clear 9
path for the paraders. Chief OsWalt
gave an example to his men as to how 1t
should be done. Minus a gun and with
no badge showing, but equipped with a
