DOLLARS RALLY
DUETS STOCKS

NEW YORK, April q GN.S0.
Fresh rally in the dollar today
brought another check to the
stock markets initiation enthusi-
asm and the list was quiet and
irregular.
Trading was at the slowest pace
since the boom started and the
ticker kept abreast easily.
Commodities were likewise re-
strained. Silver was strong on
the Senate vote for remonetiza-
ton of the white metal. Wheat
and cotton were firm and others
showed few changes of i'm
portance.
Activity in bonds was concen-
trated in the low-grade specula-
tive issues, which were higher.
Governments and the gilt-edged
section were quiet and easy.
Allied Chemical was weak, los
ing more than 3 points on the
company's difficulties with the
Stock Exchange over it's account
ing methods. Gold shares also
were down sharply on the silver
vote, homestake losing S points.
Utilities were firm but the
group was held down by the
Consolidated Gas dividend meet
ing later in the day.

BILL
PASSAGE NEAR

The House moved swiftly with
debate on the Administrations
So, 400, 900, 900 home owners mort
gage relief measure, with passage
expected late today. The right OF
debate was limited, but "gag rule"
was not invoked, and the measure
was left open to amendment.
The bill provides for the Govern
ment taking over mortgages on
homes valued up to $4,000 and
giving the original mortgage
holder Government bonds OF the
same value. New mortgages are
then issued, bearing S per cent in
terest.
Another proviso of the measure
permits direct Government loans
on homes up to 80 per cent OF
their present appraised value, pro-
viding there is no existing lien on
the property. Loans could not be
made on homes valued at more
than $4,000.
Government building and loan
associations may be set up under
the measure, to serve communities
where such private agency does
not exist.

BONUS DOOM
LIKELY IN
NFLAT|ON
Robinson Amendment Beaten,
Administration Believes;
Debt Slash Probable

After erecting defenses
against inclusion Of the cash
veterans bonus in the Presi-
dents currency expansion
program, Administration lead
ers in the Senate this after
noon fought against a Repub-
lican drive to strip Mr.. Roose-
welt of power to remonetize
silver and reduce the gold
content of the dollar.
The Democratic leadership was
confident the Senate would de-
feat the amendment of Senator
Robinson RD of Indiana to au-
thorize a $2,225 100000 issue of
Treasury notes for cash payment
of the bonus. A poll indicated
this result.
They also were cheered by the
failure of the House soldier
bloc" to promote a Democratic
caucus for Monday night on sup
porting the cash bonus issue.
Debt Issue Rises
The foreign debt issue domi.
mated the background as the
Senate debated the gold and
silver section of the bill. Word
was quietly spread that the Presi-
dent had mo objection" to the
proposal authorizing acceptance
of $339,000,000 in silver in pay.
ment of the coming years foreign
debt installments.
With a proviso for valuing sill
yer at mot more than so cents
an ounce" this section would
empower the President to grant
a 80 per cent discount on the
coming years instalments,
through valuing silver at the
maximum rate. It appeared this
authority would be written into
the bill.
New Attack by Reed
Senator Reed (R) of Pennsyl-
vania, leader of the conservative
Republican opposition, started
another attack on the bill, urg-
ing adoption Of his motion strip
ping the President of all power
to change the gold content Of the
dollar or to remonetize silver
His motion was doomed to de-
feat but it provided the opposi-
ton with battle cry.

caused the earthquake which
rocked Seward, Anchorage, Cor

KNIFE To MAKE.

CHICAGO, April 27 Q.N.S0.-
Novel operations that produce
beneficial changes in the per-
Sonalities of patients were dis
closed here by DR.. George w.
Grille, of the Cleveland Clinic
Foundation, before the Chicago
Medical Society. He said:
"Lean, dyspeptic men, such as
the character Cassius in Julius
Caesar can be converted into
pleasant beings by an operation
for peptic ulcers"
DR.. Grille pointed out that in
the denervation operation of cases
of peptic ulcers, one of the re-
suits was an immediate and COM
plete change in personality.
DR.. Grille added that even
though this operation could
change the personality in many
cases, it could not change the
action patterns in the brain, and
therefore could not cure neurosis
and similar diversions from the
normal.

a semiofficial statement deny

At the same time, however, it
was stated that President Roose-

for discretionary authority to
deal with the subject of debts

and before June IL, the date for
assembly, of the world economic
conference.

Probe Reopened in Staying Of
LeonardtoWn (Md.) Woman;
Man Held in New York

The mysterious death of Ida
Kirk, wealthy spinster blown to
bits in her automobile near
Leonardtown, Md, last Janu-
ary, may be the work Of a we'll
organized gang Of kidnarers
and blackmailers who have
been operating in Washington,
Baltimore and New York.
Investigation of the Kirk case
was reopened today, with detec.
tives being rushed to the Mary
land town following the arrest in
New York of Lucian Pesco,
charged with an attempt to ex-
tort $500 from L. Manuel
Hendler, wealthy Baltimore ice
cream manufacturer.
The Kirk case angle was
injected into the case in an
extortion letter to Hendler in
which he was warned to read
the newspapers about the KIRK
case and see how we act if cur
demands are not met"
Was Well Organized
The letter declared that the
gang was we'll organized and con-
nected with other gangs through
out the city and would De pre-
pared to safeguard against trouble
in event the money was paid.
It referred to the Kirk killing
as "the only unfortunate one we
have had in dealing with our
clients"
The letter also warned Hendler
that he should ask his son about
an experience of being kidnapped
by the same gang several weeks
ago.
The son, Albert Hendler, 81,
Johns Hopkins University student.
said that he had been seized by
four men after taking a girl home
from a dance and taken to q
house, where he was held while
they discussed plans to hold him
for 100000 ransom.
One Urged Death
One of the gangsters insisted
that the youth should be killed,
but the others insisted that he be
released as a warning and that
then further demand be made on
the father.
After much. argument among
the kidnapers, the youth was
freed and allowed to return home.
Since that time he has been &C.
companied by a bodyguard on his
way to and from college.
Several days ago the warning
letter with the demand for $500

NEW LAW ALLOWS
OIL REGULATION
Recovery Act Puts Federal
Government Behind
Conservation.

Editors note: This is another
OF q series OF stories by Associated
Press staff Uriters explaining mem
legislation and its appltcation.)
The administration already has
taken advantage of the power given to
President Roosevelt in the recovery act
to help preserve for future generations
the Nations irreplaceable and rapidly
diminishing oil resources.
States we're unable to cope effectively
with illegal-'bootleg" OF
oil by men who took more out of their
wells than State laws permitted, and
then shipped it across State lines for
sale.
The producing State, of course, had
nothing to say about the sale OF the
oil in another State, nor could 1t pre-
vent its shipment into another COM
monwealth.
Drove Prices Down.
The result was that millions Of bar
rels went into an already glutted mar
ket and drove prices in some cases Is
low as 10 cents q barrel, below pro-
duction costs in many instances.
So Congress wrote into the recovery
law a provision giving the President
power to prevent interstate shipment
of oil produced in violation Of State
laws.
The President already has signed an
executive order making that provision
effective And Secretary Ickes has is
sued regulations which for the first
time bring producers. refiners and ship
pers of petroleum. and its products un-
der some Federal siIperyisiOn
These are designed to center IN
Washington all information about each
barrel coming from q well, where and
to whom 1t goes and how 1t moves. PEN
alties for violation are fines OF 1000
and six months in prison for each Of
fense.
Their purpose Is to keep IN the ground
oil not needed In the market.
Must Report Monthly.
Beginning August S, each producer,
purchaser, shipper and refiner must re-
port monthly to the Interior Depart
ment that the petroleum he handled
was legally produced, where 1t came
from and to whom 1t is going.
The law also gives President Roose-
welt authority to institute legal proceed
ings to divorce pipe lines from hold
ing companies. and to start before the
Interstate Commerce Commission pro-
ceedings to regulate operation and rates
of pipe lines. He has not yet availed
himself Of this provision.
That was put into the law because
many producers charged that pipe lines
controlled by major companies could
charge exorbitant rates, refuse to take
their oil or force producers to take
prices they offered for petroleum.
