Price Boosts Only
A Matter of DAYS

BY PERCY C. MAGNUS
President New York Board of
Trade, Vice Chairman Citizens
Budget Committee
NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-From
the standpoint of cold, hard
boiled business, now is the time
in my opinion to buy. Practically
everything is at a low price level
and prices are unquestionably
going up. A matter of days, or
at most a few weeks, will see
prices at substantially higher
levels.
The future appears to be more
secure. Now is the time to re-
lease those funds which have
been accumulated for the rainy
day, for the rain is over, the sun
is beginning to shine and the
forecasts are flair weather."
The Hearst papers are suggest
ing to the public that they take
their dollars in their hands and
go out and buy more goods than
they could at any time during
the past 10 years and more goods
than they will ever buy again for
a long time for the dollar has
today a greater purchasing power
than, in my opinion, it will have
for some time to come. Obviously
these great personal benefits will
also benefit our great country.
Some may be induced to buy
out of patriotic motives, but all
who buy now will show them
selves students of the market,
and recognize the opportune time
to get the greatest returns for
the least amount expended
which after all is the funda-
mental principle of good buying.

PUBLIC WARNED
Of EARLY RISE
IN PRICES
By DUNCAN U. FLETCHER


U. s. Senator From Florida
Written Expressly for Universal Service
Buy in September and buy
American is a patriotic appeal.
It should be followed not only in
September but all the time.
1 think the Hearst newspapers
are doing a great patriotic serv-
ice in carrying these facts to the
people.
I believe we will leave the de-
preston behind if everyone will
cooperate 100 per cent in the
NRA program. Organization of
industry under codes of fair
competition is only half the
program. The other half is Tor
people to do their part by buy
ing what they actually need for
consumption.
This is no time for timidity,
especially on the part of banks
in their lending policy. The
banks have got to do their part
by advancing credit to business.

WnaC do you know about
that? It's my gag, I tell you.
I didn't hear it anywhere-1
made it up myself make
up all my own gags. What
do you know about that?"
The fellow was ready to
throw himself out of the win
dow. Only a few of us, dur
ing the excitement heard the
announcer conclude by saying,
THANK you, Mr.. Osterman."
1t may restore faith to the
fellow when he reads that here
although it's still a mystery
90 me how the gag land it's
nothing very much) Travelled
out SO quickly to the Coast.
I learned for the first time
yesterday that the parents Ct
one of Broadway's most beauti-
full girls-ex-Vanities, ex-
ziegfeld, ex-Paradise Club and
soon to be "glorified" after a
fashion, in the new Hollywood
show, are crippleS. I mean her
mother and father, to be exact.
The mother, a widow, met the
man, once a famous engineer,
after he had been crushed by
a boulder during construction
operations in Colorado. After
a series of operations, he had
emerged a helpless cripple
paralyzed to the waist and
just barely able to use his arms.
She, herself, had lost the
use of her limbs through arth-
ritis. So a wheelchair romance
started and ended in their
marriage. They live now in a
little cottage in Arizona where
somehow, with the aid of q
single servant, they manage to
get considerable happiness out
of life-although most of their
time is spent in their Wheel
chairs.
BY consistent exercising, the
fellow regained the use of his
hands and arms and now he
spends his time making violins
out of some rare wood sent to
him from Colorado. I under
stand that there is IN unusual
tonal quality to these violinS
and that some experts say he
has recovered the secret that
died with Stradivarius. There
is something touching about
the great love of this almost
helpless couple and something
inspiring in the maximum of
happiness they're getting out
of life, despite their handicap.
A grand feature article for
some paper-and I'll be glad
to furnish the names upon re-
quest.

repOrtOrial accuracy for the
following day, Miss Bankhead,
as you may have read in the
news sections, was taken to
the hospital.

BACKING BUY

Organized labor has Joined the
ranks of governmental, indus
trial, and civic organizations back
ing to the limit the Buy in Sep
tember" campaign.
"Hearst newspapers sponsor
ing this movement are to be
commended for the public Serv-
Ice they are rendering. Organ
lied labor will support it 100 per
cent"
So said Richard A. Dickson,
president of the Central Labor
Union, in announcing that he
would make a plea to the $4,000
members of the organization to
cooperate.
To Put NRA Over
With this assurance that Wash.
ington's working class would put
its buying power behind the move
ment, it was expected that every
possible dollar in the District
would be put into circulation this
month.
The stage is set here for real
demonstration of the public's
faith in President Roosevelt's re-
covery plans. Every phase of busi-
ness and civil life has promised
support of the drive to make the
NRA a complete success as soon
as possible by gearing the wheels
of industry to higher speed this
month.
Washington stores have laid in
large stocks of new merchandise,
with bargains in every line of
merchandise available because of
stock bought before recent price
rises.
Praise BY johnson
Brig. Gen. Hugh S. Johnson,
leader of the nations recovery
drive, has personally praised the
Buy in September" drive and
lined up the National Recovery
Administration behind it.
Manufacturers, wholesalers and
retailers are adding impetus by
putting more people back to
work and increasing wages, under

AS Washington and the entire

BY REX COLLIER.

A bank examiners report on alleged
irregularities at the Hartman National
Bank g. Trust Co., in New York City,
apparently was held by the Treasury
for nearly six months, due to the gen.
eral banking crisis, before it was for
warded to the Department Of Justice,
The Star learned today from an au-
thoritative source.
After Justice officials finally received
the report-which involved Joseph w.
Hartman, head of the bank-a brief
delay in impending grand jury pro-
ceedings was granted at the urgent re-
quest of the new management Of the
reorganized institution, with indorse-
ment of the New York Clearing House
Association, the chief bank examiner
in New York and the controller Of the
currency.
Presumably the long delay in calling
the case to the attention of the De-
partment of Justice was occasioned by
the fear Of Treasury officials and finan-
cial interests in New York that i'm
mediate prosecution of Hartman would
