BY the Associated Press
0HIQAGO, October 17-Wheat prices
Aped more than cents at the OPEN
ing today and later became relatively
steady at a general gain Of about 2
cents. Buying was based largely on
opinions of trade leaders that setbacks
in grain values had been excessive and
that rallies were overdue. Opening 2ls
to 43s cents up, wheat later reacted
TO below the initial minimum. and then
fluctuated rapidly. Corn started p to
IL, advanced up, and subsequently
rose further.
An outburst of selling orders from
the East later disclosed that sustained
buying of wheat had become at least
temporarily exhausted. A general stam-
pede to relinquish ownership ensued

to 512 cents under early top figures.
The downswing of prices carried all de-
liveries of wheat we'll below yesterdays
finish. Then a renewal Of aggressive
buying commenced and the market

Some party leaders thought Mr.

that the Republican party would be

HOOVER FAILS
TO BID OPENLY

Farewell Speech Leaves
His Party Policy on War
Debts, Gold Standard.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-President
Herbert Hoover was back in Wash
ington today for his seventeen re-
naming days in Office, leaving his
party clear-cut policy on war debts
and monetary stability, but dis
appointing followers who had hoped
for an open bid for the retention of
party leadership.
Mr.. Hoover, in what widely was
heralded as his farewell address, "
called for international co-opera-
ton for economic revival, with
possible use of war debt payments
to the United States as a fund to
aid central banks in stabilizing
currencies on a gold basis.
He derided the contention that
the war debts, in themselves, are the
dominant factor in the world de-
preston, and made clear belief
that if Europe expects concessions
on the debts, her nations must CO.
operate in stabilizing currencies and
otherwise acting for economic
hetterment.

land.
Under the law no farmer may own

side labor
Farm land ceases to be a commodity.

and only the eldest child, of either sex.

ther that the eldest child. though in
heriting the farm tract. shall provide
support for brothers and sisters If they
come innocently to distress.
Prof. Ernst Wagemann. leading Nazi
economist. explained that under the
law huge estate owners right of in
heritance transmission will be revoked"
BY restricting ownership to tracts of
such size that the owner himself can
work them, the government hopes to
prevent the land becoming encum-
bered by debt. The land Indebtedness
Of the Junker aristocracy has led in the
past to scandals involving intrigues for
state patronage.
