Evidencing the Importance
placed by the Administration on
the Forthcoming conversations
with Soviet representatives, Sec
retary of State Hull today was
seriously considering a change in
the plans for his goodwill tour
Of South America in order to vel

Hull had virtually decided to
postpone his departure for the
Pan-American conference at

The original plans called for
his departure on November 4. In
the event he leaves November II

DOLLAR STAGES
SHARP RALLY

NEW YORK, June Is G.N.S).
Reports from both London and
Paris of progress in the move to
stabilize currencieI brought an
other sharp rally in the dollar
against foreign currencies on the
local foreign exchange market to-
day.
Sterling slumped 512 cents to
$4.071a. This compares with the
high of $4.19E2 established on
Monday.
European gold currencies
dropped precipitously, with the
guilder leading the decline.
Guilders sold down II points to
48.34. Francs were down 61a
points to 4.7312; belgas, 20 points
to 1881, and Swiss francs, 80
points to 1928.
Marks again featured the re-
stricted gold currencies with a
Appoint decline to 28.45, while
lire and pesetas lost 9R and IL
points, respectively.
The Scandinavian exchanges
dropped 80 points in sympathy
with the break in the pound, but

VETO THREAT
. BECLOUDS
SITUATION
Study Of Changes Based on
Anticipated Passage,
/ - Gone for Naught

Prospective vetoing of the
Independent offices bill today
left confusion rampant in
Government administrative Of
fices where efforts are being
made to straighten out person
mel problems with reference
to reduced operating funds.
Theoretically, the failure of the
Independent Offices bill would re-
store the old economy act, with
its administrative furlough sys-
tenn, and would reinstate the ap-
appropriations for the Independent
offices at the rates in effect for
this fiscal year.
Vain Optimism
It is foregone conclusion,
however, that these appropriations
would not be allowed to stand,
but would be reduced to the
amounts provided for in the bill
now pending. This could be done
by executive order.
Budget Director Lewis w. Doug
las, it was reported as long ago as
early April. when the new eco
nomy program first began to take
form. is credited with having
adopted the policy that even if
Congress increased funds for GER
tain offices, those offices would
not be allowed to spend the
money.
That also raises an important
point, for if the old economy act
were in effect without change
through executive order, it would
restore some $40,00O,OOO in ap-
preparations to the independent
offices. Also it's famous Section
PIG provides that where appro-
priations are reduced, dismissals
are not to be made, but the force
is to be kept intact through ad-
ministrative furloughs.
The prohibition of expenditures
by executive order, however, is
something quite different, and
would make dismissals optional.
COnjures New Problem
Government administrative Off
cials today were in a fog. Hav-
ing devoted considerable time and
thought to the solution of a
problem that would be set before
them if the independent offices
bill were enacted. they now find
themselves faced by an entirely
different problem in view Of its
probable failure.
The rotative furlough principle
of the independent offices bill,
carried as a rider, also provides
for involuntary retirement.
The net effect of failure of the
bill presumably would be that an
Executive order would limit eX-
penditure of appropriations to
the amounts provided in the bill;
that administrative officials would
have discretion as to dismiSsals
or administrative furloughs in
meeting this limitation of expen-
ditures, and that indeterminate
furloughs might be utilized as
an alternative to dismissal

Oils and Rails
Resist Stocks
DOwn Trend

NEW YORK, June Is Q.N.S0
After early weakness, the stock
market today broke away from
the unsettling influence of a
break in sterling and other for
eign currencies against the dollar.
Persistent buying in the rails
and fractions turned the tide in
the forenoon. Later the bull
forces switched into the oils, build
ing issues and alcohol shares to
help the recovery movement.
Industrials, utilities and mining
shares were sluggish, however,
and though recovering part of
early losses running to 2 points
and more, met steady offerings
on bulges which held them down.
For the first time in weeks the
ticker was able to keep abreast
of the market, as trading fell off
sharply from the boom pace Of
the last two months.
Commodities started off weak,
depressed by a break in wheat
and cotton on the Administra-
tion's reported determination to
employ processing taxes to help
cut production. They strengthened
later as oats and corn rallied
briskly. Bonds were quiet and
firm.
Sterling at one time was down
more than 7 cents at $4.05 but
came back slightly later. Sweep
ing losses were the rule in other
foreign currencieS.
