be permitted, said Whitney, but only
a few. The railroads, he said, might
reasonably object to going to the eX-
pense of an independent audit because
they already issue voluminous state
ments on their earnings in compliance
with Interstate Commerce Commission
regulations
The action of the exchange was
interpreted as marking a victory for a
campaign which has been raging for
years. Among outstanding figures who
publicly have insisted upon clearer and
more accurate corporate earnings state
ments have been President-elect Roose-
welt, Prof. William z. Ripley of Harvard
and, in the early days of the campaign
when he met the stubborn opposition
OF nearly all his associates, the late
Judge Ebert H. Gary.
Since the stock market crash of 1929,
with its toll Of financial tragedies like
the Kreuger g. Toll flasco, the cam
paign has gained greater force.
Requirement Tested.
The Stock Exchange, Whitney stated,
has also been working aSsiduously in
the direction of better corporate pub
licity. He said that the new listing
requirement had, in effect, been tested
out by the exchange beginning in April
of 1882. Since that time, he said, the
exchange has asked all companies re-
questing the privilege Of listing addi-
tional securities for trading to enter
an agreement whereby their future an
nual statements would be audited by
independent public accountants
simultaneously. the exchange has
urged companies with which it has
dealings to issue more frequent earnings
statements and to give fuller informa-
ton to its shareholders.
Approximately four out of every five
companies, whose securities are dealt
in on the exchange, said Whitney, now
have their books audited Independently.
In addition, a growing number have
responded favorably to the prodding of
stockholders and others that they issue
more frequent statements as to their
current operationA

President Roosevelt'S executive
order cutting down longevity

thereby facilitating the retirement
of those employees who have
slowed down through age, was to-
day transmitted to personnel Off

establishment.
It's net effect will be to bring
efficiency ratings more closely
into line with tenure status on
Federal jobs. Under the execu-

which the new order changes

Be Aimed at District
Trade Organizations

All of the $1,250,OOO capital
stock and surplus of the new
Hamilton National Bank is ex-
pected to be sold this week.
Following a conference today
between E. C. Graham, president,
and other officials of the new
bank with officials of local trade
bodies, members of the latter
organizations are to be solicited
in a whirlwind windup of the
drive to secure stock subscrip@
tions for the remaining 100000
needed.
Many of the larger department
and retail concerns of the city
have already made substantial
subscriptions for the stock both
as an investment and for the
best interests of the city"
Even if the sale of Sotck is
completed in the next two or
three days, however, officials OF
the new bank are skeptical that

Poison will be spread today on
the dump near the 3700 block
Albemarle st. N. w., in an effort
to rid the place of an army of
rats which has been terrorizing
the neighborhood for sometime
past.
The poison will be placed un-
der the supervision of an expert
from the Department Of Agricul-
ture.
The action of the District
Health Department followed pub
lication in The washington Times

Previous complaints to the Health
Department, they said, had been
unavailing.

FARM INCOME
HITS S206

"The yearly income of the
farmer has dropped from $847
in 1929 to $206 in 1888. This
includes food and fuel raised
for family consumption"
That is what DR.. Faith Will
liarns, of the Bureau Of Home
Economics, told members Of the
State leaders conference Of the
All Clubs convention today in
the auditorium Of the New Mu-
scum Building.
DR.. Williams then discussed the
food and drug bill which comes
up before the next session OF
Congress, saying:
"The bill will afford greater
protection than the food and
drug bill Of 1906. Not only will
the Department Of Agriculture
be able to prohibit sales of
harmful obesity cures, but it will
also be able to check up on medi-
cines advertised over the radio.
The younger generation will
have greater protection in the
use of harmful cOSmetics-if the
bill passes"
Mrs. Henry A. wallace, wife Of
the Secretary of Agriculture, was

given today by the boys and girls
of the All Club.

RENT PROBE
Appointment of James Ring to
Aid Inquiry Delayed; Move
Urged by Senator King

Launching of the local rent
investigation by the Public Util-
tiles Commission is being de-
layed temporarily while officials
Of the commission are consider
ing ways and means of providing
the funds needed to conduct the
probe.
Major Gen. Mason M. Patrick,
chairman of the commission, to-
day received letter from Sen
ator William H. King, chairman
of the Senate District Commit
tee, recommending that James
Ring, former clerk to the Dis
trict Committee, be appointed to
assist in the investigation.
Conference Wanted
General Patrick said no action
would be taken on the matter
until he has had an opportunity
to study the matter further and
to confer with Senator King rela-
tive to obtaining the funds neces-
sary to carry out the recommen-
dation.
An appropriation of $2,50O,
which would have taken care of
the matter, was stricken out III
the closing hours of the special
session of Congress, leaving the
commission virtually without
funds to conduct the probe.
Would Aid Probe
Ring assisted Attorney Oscar
Brinkman in the investigation of
the local rent situation which was
carried on by the Senate COM
mittee during the last Congress.
Brinkman and Ring made GER
tain recommendations to the COM
mittee.
Senator King expressed the be-
lief that the knowledge gained by
Ring during that investigation
would be beneficial in the new
probe. ... -..,

H|TSPER DIEM

Comptroller General j. r. Nc
Carl today denied claim for
291a days per diem made by a
naval officer for expenses at
Norfolk Naval Station, tempor-
ary assignment. The ruling holds
that he gets per diem only for
actual time travelling, and in no
case for an assignment of more
than 10 days.
A student at a Citizens Mill
tary Training Camp who sought
transportation from one hospital
to another is also out of luck. If
he had been injured, the ruling
says, he might have had 1t, but
since he was sick, he can't.
Moreover, a naval officer as
signed to shore patrol duty from
