Up, BUT GAINS
ARE SMALL
BY THEODORE KOSLOW

NEW YORK, March 28 QN.SO.
The curb market frightened up
today after its rather sorry show
ing yesterday, and the rank and
file 81 stocks showed a generally
steady tone.
The failure of the late weak
ness yesterday to bring any i'm
portant volume of offerings into
the early dealings was regarded
as indicating the bulk of present
speculative holdings was strongly
held.
Some Short Covering
This led to scattered short cov-
ering, but lack of incentive for
higher prices caused the market
to go dead along toward midday,
with both activity and changes
restricted to a minimum.
Electric Bond and Share paid
no attention to the announce
ment of the resignation of its
dominant officer, and moved up
to 1874 for a net gain of "a.
A firm tone was also noted in
American Gas and Electric, Amer
lean Superpower and Niagara
Hudson Power.
The Cities Service issues met
renewed offerings, the common
easing Ks, to 2A and the deben-
lures dropping 7s, to a new low
on the move at 26.
Specialties Lower
Specialties were irregularly
lower. with Montgomery Ward A
sagging 2 points to 81. Alumi-
mum dropping a point to 40, and
A. o. Smith showing a loss of "a
at 21A.
Oils were steady, with Stand
ard of Indiana up 70 at 1879.
Investment trusts were dull.
Utility bonds continued to lose
ground, with American Power and
Light IS off l at 40, and Electric
Power SIS off y at 26-.

Wheat prices worked slightly
lower in early dealings here to-

to assume any aggressive con-
structive attitude.
Corn and other cereals also
leaned toward the downside. At
mid-session wheat was 14c lower,
corn "a to 3sc down, oats un-
CHI Il and rye 1s to 14c higher.
Barley was Vac lower.
Interest in the wheat market
continued to center on the farm

REFRIGERATOR

NEW YORK, March 28.-De-
velopment of a new air-cooled gas

petitive position with electric re-
frigeration.
The refrigerator will have two
temperature controls, with five

R. F. {. To FREE
COLLATERAL
To BANKS

In one of the most far-reaching
moves yet considered for meeting
banking conditions, the Recon.
etruction Finance Corporation to-
DAY was considering the exchange
Of collateral held for loanS Of the
financial institutions for pre-
1erred stock.
This would return to the banks
several billion dollars worth of
collateral, a considerable portion
OF which would be available for
discount at the Federal Reserve
banks.
$1,O13,OOO, 600 Paid Out
Under recently enacted banking
legislation, the corporation was
empowered to purchase preferred
stock of banks.
Regulations promulgated indi-
Gated that the interests of the
Government would be safe
guarded in view of the restric-
tlonS thrown around purchases
Of stock by the corporation.
The banks of the country have
actually received about $1,0l3,-
100000 from the corporation and
have repaid $307 7.243,965. A total
OF about $500 loans aggregating
$1,161 ,000, 900 were authorized to
5,47S banks and trust companies.
About Sill, ,764,000 in authorized
loans was withdrawn or can
celed.
LeSens Credit Control
The Federal Reserve Board has
notified member banks desiring
to borrow money to first apply
to the reserve banks, it was un-
derstood. Borrowing at the Re-
construction Finance Corpora.
ton has tended to reduce the in
debtedneSS of the member banks
to the reserve banks and thus to
lessen the control on credit of
the reserve institutions.
The reserve banks maintain
their hold on member banks
Chiefly through the medium of
the Indebtedness of the latter.
With the collateral held by the
r. F. c. returned to the banks
they would be supplied by a tre-
mendouS volume of discountable
paper, sufficient in the cases Of
many institutions to obtain loans
that would meet any emergency.
Battle Still On
The Treasury continued to bat.
tie with the banking situation,
particular attention now being
given the Cleveland institutions.
Hope was expressed of a prompt
solution.
Regulations pertaining to ex-
ports and other movements Of
gold, which may be licensed by
the Secretary of the Treasury
were not expected until later in
the week. ........

Spanish AviatorS Lost on
1000 Mile Journey
From Havana.
BY JOHN r.. MORRIS
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

MEXICO CITY, June 21.-Air-
planes, soldiers and ships went out
at dawn today to search for two
Spanish aviators, missing on 1000
mile flight from Havana to Mexico
City, after conquering the Atlantic
on the longest over-water flight ever
made.
A crowd that twelve hours be-
fore was estimated at 10000, which
maintained a watch for the fliers at
Valbuena field for many hours, de-
spite soaking rain, dwindled this
morning to bare 100, including
airport officials.
1t was believed the aviators, Cap
tain Mariana Barberan and Lieuten-
ant Joaquin Collar of the Spanish
air force, must have landed some
where between Villa HermoSa, in
Tabasco State, seventy miles up the
TabascO river from the coast, and
Minatitlan, 100 miles up the coast
of the. Gulf of Campeche, in Vera
Cruz state.
The stretch between Villa Her
mosa, where the f1iers were seen at
11:35 a. m. Tuesday, and Minatitlan
is inhabited sparsely.
After brief stretch of coast line,
there is jungle in which the fiers
might wander for weeks. Bad
weather was reported throughout
the district.

In the last several months, eight

take regular positions. Included
among those who have found jobs
are former cook and a former

The institution provides food and

Hickey asked the umpires to

Margaret Peggy McMath told
from the witness stand today her
story of adventures and discomforts
in the hands of kidnapers. When
she calmly ended her account, the

Kenneth and Cyril Buck, charged
with the abduction.
The defense Immediately began it's
effort to clear the two brothers of
the charges of kidnapping Peggy and
holding her for 100000 ransom.
The 10-year-old principal in the
celebrated Cape Coo kidnapping con-
Guided the states case by three
hours and twelve minutes of
testimony concerning her abduction
from harWich Center grammar
school last May 2 and her imprison-
ment for nearly three days.
The defense surprised py opening
its case with testimony of Cyril
Buck, Al, who claims he was an in
nocent intermediary in the case and
that he helped his younger brother
in the belief the latter was domi-
mated by a bootleg gang.
Kenneth, %, claims the gang
headed by mysterious man named

accomplish the kidnapping.

Bankers Case Studied by
Panel of New York
Business Men.
BY SIDNEY b. WHIPPLE
United Press Staff Corresnnndent

COURTROOM, NEW YORK, June
21.-A jury of business men wres-
tied this afternoon with the highly
technical financial problems involved
in Charles E. Mitchell's income tax
maneuverS of the crash years.
The case of the former chairman
of the National City bank and af-
f1liates, charged with evading taxes
of $85O,OOO in 1929 and 1880, went
to the jury at 1927 p. m. after a
morning devoted to a long, explicit
charge by Federal Judge Henry w.
Goddard.
Because of the knotty problems
involved, with both sides admitting
may essential facts and the ques-
ton of guilt or innocence depending
to large extent upon intent, court
room attendants forecast long wait
before the jury would be ready to
report, even if the twelve men were
able to agree upon a verdict.
A verdict of guilty would carry
a maximum penalty of ten years in
prison and a fine of $4,000.
Throughout the judges charge,
Mitchell sat, his fingers nervously
drumming on the counsel table, in
tently following the rules laid down
by the jurist.
His tanned face was lined deeply
and he blinked several times when
Judge Goddard pronounced the
words-"If you find either that the
defendants sale of stocks to his wife
was a sham or that he failed will
fully to report $666,66667 he re-
ceived from the banks management
fund, you must find him guilty"
Judge Goddard told the jury that
it might find him guilty on the first
count if it finds that Mitchell made
fraudulent sale of stock, or if he
should have reported his manage
ment fund earnings. Either find
ings, Garrard said, would be suf-
flcient to support a verdict of guilty
on the alleged 1929 violation.
