have been filled by transfers within the

otherwise.
For the present, at least, Mr.. Sted-
man is Mr.. Bilbo's boss His duties, the
chief says, are as described in the news
release. They will not consist, however,
merely of indiscriminate clipping, but
involve an intelligent sizing up Of the
state of the public mind on agricultural
adjustment matters, as reflected in the
national journalism. Mr.. BiIbo is ex-
pected to sort and evaluate what the
papers have to say.
Mr.. Bilbos official duties, 1t was
learned, do not include the practice of
renology-judging character by the
shape OF the head-although he assured
newspaper men yesterday that he
counted upon his skill in this art to
aid him in his new work. He said that
he had acquired exceptional gifts in
phrenology and that they had con-
tributed greatly In carrying him for
ward from farm boy to Governor of
his State.
But the newly created agricultural
adjustment administration sees no i'm
mediate need for the services Of an ex-
pert in this line.

raphers with paste pot and scissors this

AMERICAN RESOLUTION
Work of Conference in Future May
Be Done Tentatively Pending
Eventual Agreement on Stabili-

LONDON, June 23.-France pro-
posed a quota truce at the
World Economic Conference today
(which would enable countries
asing quotas as weapons against
tmportations to keep them indefi-
nitely.
The resolution is considered a
counter-proposal to the intensive
drive by the United States for
complete abolition of all en-
bargos, quotas and arbitrary re-
strictions.
The French suggestion calls
upon the nations to undertake
not to enact new prohibitions or
quotas, but permits them to main
tain quotas presently in force for
an indefinite period. Agricultural
products, however, are excluded
from the proposed truce.
Await Higher Prices.
The resolution was debated in sub
committee considering commercial poll
cies, where the French delegates ex-
planned the exceptional fall in prices of
agricultural products prevented France
from renouncing her rights OF recourse
to quotas until, by means OF inter-
national organization of production, a
world price level is reached tnsuring
reasonable profit for farmers.
The conference wound up a hectic
week late today and adjourned until
Monday.
A resolution presented to the same
subcommittee yesterday by Secretary OF
State Hull, American delegation chair
man, asked the conference to abolish
all arbitrary restrictions as soon as
possible.
The French, who invented the quota
system, explained they were favorable
to eventual abolition of quotas, but, in
view of the present world currency
fluctuations, they were unable to con-
sent to the American proposal.
Switzerland, which uses quotas widely,
said through her delegate, Walter
Stuck, that she did not believe she
could eliminate quotas until certain Gus
toms barriers and exchange restrictions
in other countries were wiped out.
Italy, Belgium Back U. S.
italy and Belgium supported the
American view. The truce would apply

BLIND MAY SELL WARES
IN FEDERAL BUILDINGS
Appeal to President Brings Revi-
sion of Rules-Societies Will
Limit Number of Privileged.

By the Associated Press.
The rigid rule against selling articles
in Federal buildings has been amended
just enough to permit blind persons to
dispose of pencils and newspapers.
This was the result of an appeal to
President Roosevelt by societies inter-
ested in assisting the blind. They Sue
cessfully pleaded that blind person
selling papers outside the Post Office
or other Federal building should be al
lowed to find shelter inside and do
business through the corridors.
The amended order does not mean,
however, that blind persons are given
rent-free newsstand IN the Federal
building corridor.
Treasury Department officials, who
have charge of Federal buildings, said
today the blind persons wares can be
only what he can carry in his hands,
such as papers and pencils, and that II
he brings a stool to sit on, he must
carry it away with him at night.
Furthermore, the permission does not
extend to all blind persons. Local So

sibility of selecting . limited number

COMMODITY PRICES
IN GENERAL RISE
Six Basic Industries Squirt,
Outstripping Decline of
the Dollar.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
American commodity prices have out
stripped the fall Of the dollar and are
pointing for President Roosevelt's goal
of level high enough to bring the
country some prosperity.
For the first time since the stock
markets and the commodity indexes
started their climb, an official analysis
has now indicated the spread between
the true price rise and the dollars
depreciation as consequence Of gold
standard abandonment. The Federal
Reserve Boards monthly review is out
today with the statement that BY the
end Of May, just before the latest de-
cline began, the dollar was down Is per
cent In terms Of French francs, the
leading gold standard currency. The
British pound had lost 2 per cent in the
same time.
Six Commodities Spurt.
Six basic commodities, said the board,
had by the end of May jumped 60 per
cent since February One-half of the
rise corresponded to a general world
rise and the remaining 80 per cent rep
resented dollar depreciation plus actual
domestic rise. The commodities dis
cussed were Gotten, lard, silver, copper.
tin and rubber.
There Is still long way to 20 to
reach the 1926 average which is re-
garded as the Roosevelt goal, and pend
ing which the dollar stabilization plans
are being held off. The Department of
Labor placed the June II index for all
commodities at 64.5 against 100 for
1926. The course was charted steadily
upward through the past several weeks;
May 20 1t was $50 and the succeeding
weeks 63.3. 63.8, $40 and now 64.5.
Tax Collections Rise.
With this clear-cut evidence of
mounting tide went also the better busi-
ness pointer of growing tax collections.
Beer led the parade in May, surprising
expectations to turn in more than SILL
100000, plus several hundred thousand
in special associated levies. At that
rate it may yield $3.50, ,000, 900 a year in
stead of the calculated $150,000,00
Stock market activity spurted the
yield from security transfer taxes to
s4,704, 900. more than double that for
April.
May receipts in all classes for the first
time were sufficient to bring collections
for the fiscal year past the receipts of
the previous year. The IL months of
fiscal 1888 yielded $1,368, ,238, ,226 against
s1,350.734, $50 for 1925 IL months.

conference, but made no reference to
rumors that he intended to resign.

He called peace "a cold-blooded prop
osition" and said that the United States
was approaching efforts toward it in
no crusading attitude"

right" he said "It is slow process,

There is a growing realiztion in Eu-
rope that we must reach an agreement

he said I'VE have large stake in
peace as a matter of self-interest. We

Declaring that Britain should adopt
a policy Of controlled imitation, Mr..
Boothby said:
In this respect Mr.. Roosevelt has
seen the light though he has shocked
the City Of London The British gov
ernment doubtless would be shocked by
the American public works bill. but
hope it will be continuously shocked
by Mr.. Roosevelt in the coming months
because If policy of controlled initiation
succeeds in the United States it will
spread and prove to be the salvation
Of Britain"
Col. Wedgewood told the House that
Mr.. Roosevelt did something and did
not merely talk"
Every year." he continued, Mr.
Chamberlain got up and said prices
must be restored. but no action was
taken. While we have been talking and
talking and doing contradictory things,
America has acted and the dollar is
now rising in terms of the pound"
The Labor member declared that de-
probation of the dollar in relation to
the pound was being done Intentionally
by the United States in order to re-
cover export trade.

House adopted the finance bill, 290 to

Employees coming into new Govern

This was developed today in a ruling
by Controller General McCarl, which
