NEW YORK, october 13.-Aside from

tered largely on the workings of the
National Recovery Administration, the
British war debt negotiations at Wash
ington and the domestic agricultural
situation.
While recognizing the difficulties be-
ing encountered by the N. r. A. in its
efforts to spread employment and raise
wages, various industrialists were in
clined to view the scene with consid-
cradle optimism. Notwithstanding the
numerous strikes. reports from various
parts of the country seemed to indi-
cate differences between employers and
employees are being ironed out, with
prospects Of the peace movement
spreading to all lines of production.
Leading carrier officials point out that
employment in the transportation in
dustry has been on the upgrade since
last May. The improvement in rail-
road traffic, with the attendant better
ment in net operating income, has en-
abled several Of the carriers to add to
their forces and make up some back

LAS consumer buying power already
has been increased by almost four bill
lions of dollars since last March, the
possibility of buyers strike, provoked
by the rising level of prices, becomes

prevailing. Even at that point they
will be below the highs of 1929 by a
good margin.
Because distributive gains in Sep

BANKS REASSURED

Action to Strengthen Debt
Structure Taken as
Hopeful Sign.

NEW YORK, October ia measure
Of reinsurance to lure tinid dollars
back to constructive work is seen by
leading bankers in the United States
Treasury's huge S2,oO0,000,000 refund
ing operation.
This action of the Government to
strengthen its debt structure was in
terpreted in important Wall Street
quarters as deeply significant, in that it
adhered to the principles of what con-
servatives regard as sound finance,
rather than employing any such infla-
tionary measure as printing currency.
Laid to Timid Capital.
The tagging of the so-called capital
goods, or heavy industries. leaving the
recovery top-sided SO far, has been
widely attributed to the timidity or the
stagnation of capital.
Uncertainty over the value Of the dol
lar and barriers imposed by the new
Federal securities act have been most
widely advanced in financial quarters
as the reasons for this situation. Bank
ers have pleaded for a sound money
announcement from Washington and
for revision of the securities act.
In it's refunding operation the Gov
ernment makes no clear commitment
on its monetary policy, nor has there
been any indication that the plea for
revision of the securities act will be
seriously considered.
Nevertheless, the sound money i'm

ket real impetus, and once more start
the flow Of capital into long-term
investment.
Wall Street authorities say, however,
that this sound money indication does
not mean that a substantial amount Of
imitation is not in the offing, or that
there is likely to be any serious inter-
ruption in the price raising program.
They point out that the extraordinary
expenditures of the Government, for
which the budget does not provide, are
rapidly reaching the proportions Of war
time expenditures and are thus leading
to the imitation Of the wartime char
acter.

 Washington.-Adm gleaming with gold braids and civilians who call late on Tuesday afternoon wearing top hats and spats are beginning to pay homage to lady who lives at 2136 R Street, North west, in Washington's most fash ionable neighborhood.
 The lady in question is Mrs Claude Swanson, wife of the man who is soon to be secretary of the navy in the Roosevelt cabinet.
 Mrs Swanson does not discour- civilians. She has always had, as she expressed it.

 Mrs Swanson is lineal descen- dant of Patrick Henry. Her father Col James Lyon of Richmond, was soldier of the Confederacy.

I partner in the North responded with three diamonds.
 East, who was vulnerable, was not interested in stepping in with her heart bid against an original two declaration, and passed. Mrs Kerr knew that her part ner held a trick and one-half. l However, they were undoubtedly in diamonds and, if so, they would be of little assistance to her with her two losing hearts. Remember that an original forc- ing two bid requires that the bid ding be kept open until game is reached. Mrs Kerr took advan- tage of this fact, and now bid three hearts-her spade suit, of course, is higher than the hearts and she can always overcal her partner even though the hearts are supported.
 After the three-heart bid, North re-bid diamonds and now Mrs Kerr took the long shot and bid six spades.
 The Play West was up against a difficult opening. He did not wish to lead spades holding four trump. Mrs Kerr had bid hearts; therefore she did not feel that the heart open ing would be good, and this is where the psychic worked out well.
 West in no way could read Mrs Kerr's heart bid as a psychic and it looked as though to lead hearts would be sacrificing a trick. West elected to open the only unbid suit-clubs-and led his , four of clubs. The trick was won by the declarer in the North hand with the ace of clubs. Mrs Kerr was careful not to play her eight of clubs on the trick, but dropped the jack in or der to create another entry in dummy to establish the diamonds. Her next play was the king of diamonds from dummy, East cov- cred with the ace and Mrs Kerr trumped with the deuce of spades. She then led a small spade and won Tn dummy with the jack. The queen of diamonds was led and one of her losing hearts was dis carded. Her next play was a small diamond from dummy. East played the jack, Mrs Kerr trumped with the six of spades. She then took three rounds of spades, picking up the outstand- ing trump, being careful to dis card two hearts and a diamond from dummy.
 East now loudly echoed in hearts, but it was too late. Mrs Kerr's next play was the king of clubs, followed by the queen of clubs.
 The eight of clubs was now an entry into dummy, as it could be overtaken with dummy's nine and the two diamonds were good on which to discard the other losing heart, giving Mrs Kerr grand slam.
