N. Y. Stocks
By ELMER C. WALLER

NEW YORK, July 21.-A stam-
pede of selling OH the stock ex-
change in the late afternoon trad
ing today broke prices 4 to 13 points
in the heaviest turnover since the
gigantic days of late October, 1929.
Sales totaled 9,570,000 shares on
the stock exchange, 1,440,000 on the
curb, and 255,000 on the Chicago
market, an aggregate Oh 1925 900
shares. That compared with $780,
900 shares for THESE markets yeSter-
day.
Shorts covered heavily just be-
fore the close and leaders turned up
from the lows:
Despite the late rally, however,
paper losses on all listed issues ran
to more than $3,000,0 100000.
Today rounded out 3 day drop
which wiped out nearly half Of the
gains made from the reopening af-
ter the bank holiday until Tuesday
when the list was swept into new
high ground for the year. In that
period the Dow Jones industrial av-

slightly more than 100 per cent.
AS the frantic session drew to a
close, tickers were hopelessly behind
the market, recording sales made 80
minutes previously.
Today's crash came after an early
advance of l to points which was
accompanied by strength in wheat
at Winnipeg and weak dollar. The
dollar strengthened late in the day
with the pound sterling dropping II
cents from its early high of $4.7212.
Commodities were forced down
sharply. Cotton at its low was down
Sc a bale. Silver lost more than =
cents an ounce. Rubber lost more
than l12 cents pound.
Clerks in New York offices were
complaining of overwork. They were
forced to remain until after a. m.
this morning. 1t was believed the
stock exchange might close for a
day or so or curtail trading sessions
to give them rest, as it did in
1929.
Dealings were done in cash grain
at Chicago Wheat No. 2 red was at
88A cents a bushel, off ga cents;
corn No. 2 mixed 49l2 cents off 7$s,
rye No. 2, 6s, up Tls cents; and oats
No. white, 32l2, off Ga.
On the decline steel common
touched 49A, off 8A points. BY
2:55 D. m, it was back to 527s. AL
lied Chemical touched ITO, off 1112.
1t came back 3 points. Commercial
Solvents came back TO %, un-
changed from low of 24% Ameri-
can Can was down to 8l%, off 5A
and then came back 6 points for a
small net gain.
Wet stocks were strong in the
early trading and sharply depress-
ed in the late selling. National Dis
tillers broke to 68, off 6 from a
high above 80. 1t, too 1allied.
New York Central recovered a
points of a loss of II points. Union
Pacific rose from its low of 108%,
off Ga. AS the lows losses of to 8
points were noted in ChrySler, Gen
eral Motors, Montgomery Ward, At
Gibson, American Telephone, Aub-
urn Auto, Loew's, American Smelt-
ing, Union Carbide, General Elec-
trio and Consolidated Gas.
Dow Jones preliminary averages
showed: industrial 1888, off 1853;
railrood 44.88, off 4.68; utility 30.35,
off 267.
The stock ticker reported the last
closing sale at 34312 p. m. for ac-
tive stocks and 3491a for inactive
stocks. This was a new record late
close for the high speed tickers.
The bond ticker reported the last
transaction on the tape at 3:43 p.
m., a new late record for a five
hour day.

ADDRESS HERE
BY ANGEL|LLO

Assurance that he is friend of
Imperial Valley and that he will
give fullest consideration to govern
ment loans here, was given today
by o. f. AngeIillo, registrar of the
| federal land bank at Berkeley, In
a brief speech aS combined XII
wants and community luncheon this
noon in the Barbara Worth hotel.
The speaker pointed out that the
function Of the bank is to aid all
Americans who need assistance and
he declared that he knows of no
obstacle which should bar Imperial
Valley from receiving loans. He
was definite in his statement that
there will be no discrimination
against Imperial Valley in the mat
ter of loans.
He explained that ne proposes to
make trip through the valley, ito
know the valley as you people know
it," and to obtain any information
necessary in making his report OH
his return to the valley.
Angelillo met with Imperial irri-
gatoin district directors and Off
Gals tbs afternoon. lie asked ques-
tions and discusser records and re-
ports.
The visitor was welcomed on be-
half of the city and the El Centre
Chamber of Commerce by Fred Gia-
nola, member of the city council
and w. H. Tyler, president of the
chamber, and by C. E. Anderson,
president Of the KiWanis club who
turned the meeting over to L. j.
Goree of Calexico, who presided.
NJ. j. Dowd, chief engineer of
the Imperial Irrigation district,
made brief talk in which he said
the international silt problem has
been, or will be so:ved by construc.
ton of Boulder dam and the ALL
American canal, and he hoped the
federal lank bark will solve the
valleys loan problem.
Mrs. Bird Hobby expressed the
qualification of the valley al An
gel:llos visit and assured him the
valley is vitality interested in the
federal land banks decision rela-
tive to loans.
AS part OF the Kiwanis program
r. C. Allen of Los Angeles, gave
a comprehensive survey of the
tunctions and purposes of the ma
tional industrial recovery act.
He stated that serious emer-
gency has arisen owing to the low
price OF commodities, the over
abundance of facilities of produc-
tior and the vast amount of un-
employment, making it essential for
the national government to take
charge of industry in way never
before attempted.
Provisions of the act are de-
signed ito provide the machinery
necessary for a great cooperative
movement throughout all industry
in order to obtain wide reemploy-
ment, to shorten the working week,
to pay a decent wage for the shotter
week and TO prevent unfair COM
petition and disastrous over-pro-
duction."
Codes governing various indus
tries are to be set up and those
agreeing to them will be pledged to
al jde by their provisions during the
time the federal government be-
lives such supervision of industry
may be necessary.

TO maintain a satisfactory STAN
dard of service to the community,
while observing the necessity for
every possible amount of economy
in civic enterprise"
A comparison of local costs with
the budget percentages suggested
by the American Library asSocia-
ton, shows local salaries are 45.8
per cent, while the association fig
ure ranges from SIS to SO per cent;
local maintenance is 81 per cent,
against 25 to 80 per cent in the as
ISOLATION figures; and local books
require 27.2 per cent compared with
20 per cent for the association sta
tiSticS.
The library now owns 26,660
books, 1861 having been added by
purchase, binding and gifts, during
the year.
Need for additional space, ap-
parent to all who use the library,
is urged again by the librarian,
who states; I'VE again record the
need for additional space. The in
creased number of readers and
students doing research, and the
steady accession of books makes
this need more imperative each
year"
Thanks are expressed by the
librarian, Agnes Ferris Biglow, to
local papers for publicity given
during the year; to the manual
training class of Central Union
high school and it's instructor, Rob-
ert Chestnut, for a charging desk
built during the year; to the Ii

REPORT SHOWS Ell CENTRANS
MAKE GOOD USE OF LIBRARY

With q total circulation of 108,-
220 volumes during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1888, the El Centro
public library annual report shows
the part which the institution has
played in providing entertainment
and instruction for those who find
additional spare time on their
hands because of economic condi-
tions.
The report shows a total of 1924
persons holding library cards, CIV
ing an average circulation of 20
books per borrower. The average
circulation per volume i'll the Ii
brary was more than 1.
Everyone familiar with library
statistics covering periods OF many
years." the reports states, has OBJ
served the marked increase in cir
culation of public library books
I during times of financial stress,
when unemployment is widespread.
Librarians are aware, too, of a
sharp increase in the number OF
readers who do not borrow books
and of persons who avail themselves
Of various reference services, al
though no satisfactory method OF
recording such increased uses has
been devised. 1t affords the librar-
ian q peculiar satisfaction that
those persons unfortunate enough
to be without employment find such
an elastic extension school, easily
reached and without fee.
despite the one-fourth cut in
personnel, and the resulting neces-
. sity of reducing the number OF open
hours, the hearty cooperation OF
the public with the library staff
has made it possible for the library

Ry ROB ALLEN

From the deserts heat to the
mountains cooling breeZe-from Ell
Centro to Jacumba in As minutes III
ease and comfort and minus any
worry as to the condition or per-
formance of the car was the un-
usual experience the writer of these
lines had last night.
He made the round trip with Ed
die Pullen in the model Va Ford
which is now on the fourth day OF
its 10 day run in the valley and
has given the folks down this way
something else to talk about be-
sides cants and 'dews.
At 8 o'clock the reporter climbed
in the front seat beside Eddie and
away they went. With a smoothnesS
that did not seem possible, the car
which has been subjected to almost
every known test during the past
three days of continuous driving,
swung out onto the highway and
stuck her nose into a regular gale
that was blowing down from the
distant mountains.
Holding her to a steady so, Pullen
settled down TO his task and pilot
ed the car along the highway. Traf-
fic was not very heavy along the
way and there was little delay in
stopping to pass trucks or other
vehicles.
With eyes glued to the instru-
ment board, the scribe sat at ease,
expecting almost any instant to
see one of the indicators take a
wild jump upward. Disappointed.
After a few miles into the hot wind
Eddie said, pointing to the gauge,
There it is, right at the proper
driving temperature now" Not a
drop of water had been put into the
radiator since the test started and
here it was, almost 5000 miles. What
car! what carl
Why this 1000-mile a day run,
was a question proposed to Eddie.
The answer: This is not exactly an
endurance run; it is not an econ
omy run nor is it speed contest.
Lots of people down here think this
car is no good and I'm here to
show them that it is good" 1t is
the scribe's conviction that Eddie
is making a good job of showing
'em that it is really good.
Curves No Trouble
Approaching the grade, no ap-
preciable increase in the speed of
the car was made. Up they went,
effortless, seemingly riding on the
wings of the steady gale which
sought to impede them. Curves were
taken with an ease that surprised
and the last stiff climb was made
made with a squirt that showed
plenty of hidden power should the
same be needed at any time. Then
the long down grade into Jacumba
and the first part of the run was
over.
At Jacumba the humans in the
car had drink of water-the car
received no attention at all-and
then her prov was headed back
again toward Ell Centro. Back
around the curves, carefully yet
with no loss of speed, and down
onto the valleys floor, the motor
functioning with perfect precision,
not sound to indicate the terrible
strain which the driving of the past
three days had put upon it. Cool,
so cool that hand could be placed
upon the engine without fear OF
being cremated.
Then whizzing along the high
way toward home at the same even
speed which ate up the miles and
lulled to sleep, resting on the soft

DILL RADIO BILL
|SPASSED

The Dill bill, revising the Fed
eral radio laws, was passed by
Congress today.
1t would impose strict regula-
tions on foreign affiliations of
American radio companies.
1t would prohibit an American
company transmitting radio ma
terial to a foreign country to be
rebroadcaSt back into the United
States.
1t also would bar licenses to
any American company of which
any officer or more than one
fifth its directors or stock
holders were aliens.
One new section would pro-
hibit the broadcasting of lot
teries, gift enterprises, or similar
prize offering schemes.
Another provided that any
broadcasting company giving time
to a political candidate or advo-
cate of a political issue must
give the same to the opposition.
A third would empower the
commission to license 100-watt
stations, if needed, regardless of
zone rules.
