BOOST IN IMPORTS
/. CAUSES NO ALARM
Short Duration Foreseen for
Current UnfavorabIe
Z Trade Balance.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne ASSOCldleu fItSS.
Government economists are not
alarmed at the current unfavorable
balance of trade-the largest since
March, 1926-for the reason they be-
lieve it will not continue over long
period.
In the month of August imports
which have been rising since this
country went off the gold standard
reached the total value of S155, 100000
the highest since october, 1881, and
S24000, 600 in excess of the value OF
exports for August.
Trade experts of the Department Of
Commerce attribute the increase in i'm
ports primarily to heavy buying by
American importers, who wanted to
stock up on foreign goods before the
declining dollar dropped still lower in
value. In other words, they feared
that at later time it would take more
of their dollars to buy a given amount
of goods abroad.
Rubber Big Factor.
Other factors in the gain were the
expansion Of business activity in the
United States, promising the replace
ment of depleted or low stocks of
goods and some actual increase in con-
sumptive demand for certain foreign
products, notably rubber.
Before the United States went off
the gold standard last Spring advocates
said that lowering the value of the
dollar would boost exports and tend to
decrease imports. Exports increased
considerably between April and July,
while imports seemingly refused part of
their theory by increasing also.
However, Government economists
maintain that the idea that devalua-
tion OF the dollar has tendency to
mold down imports is perfectly sound
from a long-term viewpoint, They
say that the downward trend of the
huctuating dollar has tended to influ-
ence European importers to delay pur:-
chases OF American products in the ex-
pectation that their currencies would
go still farther in the future in the
purchase of American goods Other
restrictive influences are said to be
the uncertainty and complications of
exchange during rapid dollar fluc-
tuation.
Sterilization Needed
But the economists point out that
once the dollar is stabilized at a de-
preciated value. foreign purchasers of
United States goods would no longer
be motivated to hold off their COM
mltments in the hope Of further de-
clines in dollar value.
When and if the dollar is fixed at a
value lower than it was before the
United States went off the gold stand
ard, the tendency. it is pointed out.
would be for exports to increase and
imports to decrease, since American
products would be relatively cheaper
abroad and foreign goods more costly
from a currency standpoint and in
terms of international trade.
Moreover, the fact that more dol
lars are required to purchase foreign
goods tends in the long run to dis
courage .their use as substitutes for
domestic products, according to the
trade experts
But, it is explained. the currency
situation after all is only one of sew
eral factors affecting foreign trade,
others Of Importance being general
business and financial conditions in
various countries, their consumptive de-
mands for particular products, price
levels and trade barriers.

SHOTS ARE REPORTED
FIRED AT ATTORNEYS
Attack Declared Made on Two
Colored Lawyers in Girl
Assault Case.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RALEIGH, N. c., October 6.-The
News and Observer says in special
dispatch from Henderson that two COL
ored lawyers appearing as defense
counsel for two colored men charged
with kidnapping and assault on white
girl, were fired upon by a crowd when
they left the court house last night.
The dispatch says R. o. Everett of
Durham, member of the Legislature,
who is appearing as a defense counsel
rescued the lawyers and drove them
from Henderson.
Everett was quoted as saying he
heard about 10 shots and that rocks
were hurled.
The two lawyers, c. J. Gates and
II. M. Thompson, both of Durham, had
moved that the indictments be quashed
because Negroes were barred from the
grand jury. The motion was over
ruled.
Judge r. Hunt Parker said he had
heard nothing of the reported dis
turbance.
"The matter is in the hands of the
court and the Governor" the News and
Observer quoted Everett. II will do
nothing to embarrass them. The court
Is able to take care of itself and this
thing happened right under the caves

viewers from not only the CleVe-

ject of those at hand to get
Manager Joe's views on the Am
erican League pennant race for
1888, also his thoughts about the
Griffmen and their chances Of
possibly beating out the New
York Yankees for the flag.
Cronin was conservative as
usual, expressing himself well
satisfied with the Griffs' chances,
but refraining from rash pre-
dictions. Cronin, however, gave
as his belief that the Western
clubs held the answer to the
final outcome of this years race.
Up to Western Clubs
'Tf the Yanks are to be
stopped, it's the Western clubs
who must do it," he said. "And
from what I've seen SO far,
believe the Cleveland Indians
and Chicago White SOx hold
the key to the situation. I've
been told the Tigers and
Browns lack strength. If this
is true, the Indians and SOx
have a tremendous task as 1t
looks as if the Boston Red SOx
and the Philadelphia AS, in
the East, won't give the YankS
much trouble"
The Washington times., 1933-05-03
Four-Bit Baseball

A popular chord was also
struck in Cleveland, where four
bit baseball in wholesale guam
titles has been available, so the
scenes you have seen enacted
here in washington where the
fans have flocked to the bleach
erS without deSerting the dollar
seats by any means, is also the
case in other sectors of the
major league front.
We understand on definite
authority that the washington
club has still other plans to
meet conditions, insofar as the
fans are concerned. It involves
a sort Of father-and-son idea
whereby when school is out,
lads may attend with their
parents at considerable savings.
The local management will
have the details of this pro-
gram completely worked out by
the time school closes, if indeed
1t isn't put into effect on Satur-
days and Sundays before mid.
June.
To us the sum total Of all
these gestures toward the public
indicates that baseball generally
Is meeting the times and con-
ditions in a very generous way,
all of which in the long run will
rebound to the benefit Of the
sport when conditions pick up
as they surely will.
The Washington times., 1933-05-03
Act as Boomerang

So there is every indication
that the latest gesture at the
ball park to put the game with
in reach Of many who right
now are financially depressed,
will act as a boomerang, if it
already isn't doing so. Ger
tainly it is providing a stimulus
to baseball interest.
Much the same situation that
obtains here in regards to
bleacher interest is also true Of
several of the other major
league cities, notably New York
and Cleveland, where conces-
SionS of some sort have been
made by the clubs to the lower
paying customers.
Both the Dodgers and Giants
have increased the number of
50-cent seats this season and as
a result those particular sections
have been milling with Gus
toners. On a recent week day
the 5O-cent section at Ebbets
Field was sold out 80 minutes
before game time and 1000
prospective patrons thereto were
turned away in order to keep
within the fire and safety regu-
1ationS.
The Washington times., 1933-05-03

They base their reasons on the
powerful manner in which the
Yanks have displayed their wares
so far this year, taking in, the
fact that the Griffmen have been
the only team that has been able
to defeat the GothamiteS to date.
They're still shouting, these
fans and scribes, and hardly can
wait until the men Of Mccarthy
show up in this city later on this
week, Friday to be exact.
Also these fans and scribes
have talked over every angle
of the New York teams attack,
this makeup both afield, at bat
and their strength in the pitchers
box.
And their answers have all
been checked that "it looks like
the Yanks again, too bad, but
true"
To which the Griffs, here for
an extended series, have fired
