come a dynamic figure in the
new deal"
He is Henry Agard Wallace
Secretary of Agriculture. whose
fther, the late Henry C. Wallace,
held the same office in the Hard.
ing and Coolidge administrations.
Although he comes of a Repub-
lican family, he was an active
supporter Of Alfred E. Smith in
1928 and Roosevelt in 1882.
Wallace'S hobby is figures and
charts. He is "at home" with
both and is conceded to be a
wizard with them.
A catalogue of his qualifica-
tions for the office he now holds
includes keen knowledge of
farm conditions. a sympathetic
understanding of farm problems,
the courage to stand by his con-
victions, independence in poll
tics and high ideals of public
service, both Inherited and in his
own right.
Wallace Is an extraordinary
figure in many ways. He detests
4Ormality and ceremony He does
not like to ring any Of the four
bells on his desk when he wants
to call his secretary, Tom Ap-
pleby, or other assistants. So he
strides across his wide office,
pones the door to his large re-
ception room and says.
"TOm, will you step in here
o minute?"
He was born on an Iowa in
1888 and holds high rank as a
writer on agricultural topics.

MARKET UPSET
BY DEADLOCK
OVER RAILS
Bv THE WALL STREET
SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Oct. 80 GN.S).
Wall Street is hoping the market
will snap out of its sleep'walking
stage before it becomes chronic.
Saturdays performance was even
duller than Friday, and the
results just as meaningless. The
significant thing is that the
administration has again served
notice that it wants higher prices
by marking gold up for the
fourth time.
Traders were quite upset by
the new deadlock over the steel
rail orders. There is a lot OF
confidence that It will be worked
out in time, however. The one
immediate effect is that it is
making spectators give the steel
stocks an even wider berth than
before.
Wall Street is getting some
rumors that there will be agree
ment soon on the mixup over
the hog processing tax. This
along with the Soviet trade posi-
bilities is reviving interest in the
packing shares.

MORE GASOLINE.
PUT IN STORE

Current reports Of the oil in
dustry indicate that petroleum
refineries during the week ended
October 81 refined a daily aver
age of 2,49O,O0O barrels, and that
gasoline stocks during the week
were increased by 100000 barrels,
Secretary of the Interior 1ckes,
oil administrator, announced.
The increase in gasoline stor-
age, it was explained, is the
equivalent in crude oil of about
100000 barrels daily, which rep
resents approximately the excess
throughput of crude oil at do
mestic refineries the past week.
Stocks of domestic and foreign
crude oil at the close OF the week
amounted to 345,351 barrels. a
decrease of l,84S,00O barrels from
the total of BAT 10000 reported
for the preceding week. This de-
crease represents a daily average
decline of 264,000 barrels.
Stocks of domestic crude oil
totaled 342,916,0OO barrels, a de-
crease of 1,664,OOO barrels from
the total Of 344 ,597 900 barrels the
preceding week while stocks Of
foreign crude oil held in the
United States were 2,436,oOO bar
rels, a decrease of $4,000 barrels.

dry wines ready for the market
by the first of the year. Before
prohibition annual consumption
of the States wine was $4,000, 900
gallons. Figures based upon Juice
grape shipments during the prohi-
bition years indicate the annual
consumption of California wines
will have jumped to approx
mately 125,0O0,O00 gallons, the
bank estimates.

OPENING BULGE
BY STOCKS IS
PUNCTURED
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Oct. 80 GN.S0.
The stock market made a dis
appointing response today to the
administrations determination to
carry it's gold buying policy into
foreign markets.
There was a bulge at the
opening, with leading issues up
to 3 points and more. Mining
shares and the farm issues we're
strong.
Gains Wiped Out
Buying failed to carry through,
however, and the new develop
ments with their highly infla-
tionary aspects failed to revive
speculative enthusiasm. This re-
suited in a steady sag which
wiped out most of the gains and
sent some stocks under the
previous close.
Commodities did better than
stocks, but showed the same in
fluences and also lost part of
their early strength. Silver was
the outstanding strong spot.
The dollar Slumped against
foreign currencies as gold was
marked up sharply in London
and advanced by the R. F. C.
here.
Few Stocks Benefit
What little buying resulted
from the gold buying policy con-
verged on the commodity stocks
and others that would benefit
from initiation. Despite this,
these groups were affected by the
sluggishness in the rest of the
market.
Steels still labored under the
attack of Railroad Coordinator
Eastman On the price of rails
and at no time showed any
buoyancy. Utilities we're sluggish
throughout and rails sagged after
an early furry.

COTTON CHIEFS,
CLERKS DIFFER
ON FIRING
Farm Administration Denies
Many 0ismissaIs Due;
Shifts in Jobs Noted

Rumors that there will be
drastic reductions in the force OF
about 1900 temporary clerks in
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration have been tentatively
spiked by officials who declare
that for the present no Through
ing on a large scale is planned.
The reports denied by the farm
authorities include the statement
that many workers already have
been turned off from the cotton
records section, and that a weed
ing out of employees in the audit
ing will begin next week.
200 Employees Shifted
However, officials have admit
ted that the clerks handling the
cotton records, who once num-
bered about 1870, have been re-
duced to about 1,450.
This decrease, they explained,
is principally due to the fact that
200 workers have been assigned to
the auditing division. The other
80 employees have either left OF
their own record, or have been let
out for inefficiency, it was said.
Complaints among the employees
do not agree with this assertion,
The clerks say that many have
been dropped between paydays
without any notice, and for no
apparent reason.
Small Scale Hiring
Hiring is still going forward in
the auditing unit, although 1t is
now on a small scale. The force
numbers about 800 engaged in
accounting and reviewing work on
the cotton contracts and checks
mailed to farmers.
Rumors that a Sitting will be
made and many workers dis
missed have been vigorously
denied.
Officials explained that this
years cotton reduction program
is not yet finished, and that the
extraordinary pressure brought to
bear to complete the work as
soon as possible would prevent
wholesale diSmiSSalS.
Need 10 Days More
Although Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace placed october /
as the deadline for finishing the
campaign, the cotton records unit
will not complete it's labors for
another ten days.
Since the auditing division must
pass upon the contracts and
checks after they have left the
records unit, it is predicted that
the cotton drive may not be
ended for another month.
Approximately 1887 900 farmers
are contracted under the cam
paign. Checks have so far been
mailed to about 100000 of them
representing a total payment OF
over $40, 100000.
