VAST RUSSIAN
TRADE HINGES
ON CREDIT

A half.billion dollars worth Of
purchasing orders await American
foreign trade in Russia If long
term credits can be arranged for
the Soviet government in this
country, former Senator Smith w.
Brookhart told international News
Service today.
Brookhart, who has been in
vestigating Russian trade posi-
bilities as special adviser to the
agriculture adjustment admins
tration, said his inquiries have re-
vealed that a vast market, ap-
preaching close TO $500 ,000, 900, is
open in the Soviet nation to
American trade if satisfactory
credits can be arranged. He said:
"The Soviet government is
eager and willing to give us this
trade, but they see no reason
why they should pay cash when
a dozen other countries are Of
fering them satisfactory credits.
eve cannot expand our trade
in Russia to any great extent
unless we are willing to grant
them these long-term credits.
Most of the wealth from which
gold would have to be derived
for Russia to pay us cash is tied
up in the five-year plan, and
they have no intention Of en-
dangering that development
scheme merely to indulge in
cash -and-carry business with
this country when others are
willing to grant them credit"

HOUSE MAID WON
 SUIT AGAINST
 RICH EMPLOYER
He Had Her Put in Asylum and Jury Awarded Her SI4,750 as Her Dam- ages in Suit

Salem, Mass, May I9-(UP)- lynne Neime, 32, former maid in the Gloucester home fo Leslie Pal mer Buswell, has been awarded s14,750 damages from her wealthy employer in connection with her confinement in an insane asylum to ''break off an infatuation for a young concert pianist. After delib- erating more than five hours, an Esex county jury returned. it's ver- dict last night. The case had at- tracted wide attention, with social registerites among the courtroom crowd. Counsel for Buswell main- tained that the chambermaid had threatened suicide and acted strangely because "she got the idea" that Charles Naegele, New York concert artist and house guest of the Buswells, hal fallen in love with her.
 In his charge to the jury. Su- perior Judge Louis H. Goldberg said Naegele was not a party in the case. Whether or not he loved this girl. or she loved him. is not an issue in this case" he said. If Buswell brought paper to the police station to get the po- liceman to bring her to Danvers state hospital. then he did partici- pate" Miss Neime alleged she had been 'railroaded" to the asylum in December, 1929, and had been caused pain and suffering by false imprisonment."

NEW YORK WILL LOSE MANY BEER
 SELLING SPOTS
10000 of Them, With Many Speakeasies and Cordial Shops Are to Be Wiped Out

New York, May 19. (UP)-The state alcoholic beverage control board was expected to-day to ap- prove beer bar, and move to elim- mate 10000 beer selling establish ments not eligible under the li- cense laws, sharply reduce speak easies and wipe out cordial shops, which dispense hard liquor by bot tie only for consumption off the premises
 The bar policy will be formulat- ed at a meeting of the board here to-day, but the action was fore shadowed by a statement of Chair man Edward P. Mulrooney, former police commissioner. in Albany, that he saw no evil in bar sale and objected only to the old time ss,'back room."
 The wide police powers given the board were interpreted by cor dial shop and speakeasy men as a sclimaxing blow to a business al- ready hard hit by the legalization of beer and the lifting or prescrip- tion restrictions for medicinal liquor.
 Cordial shop men said they were closing voluntarily because all though they are not eligible for beer license. police could enter without warrant ostensibly in quest of illegal beer and close up the store for selling hard liquor. The same threat hangs over speak easies but many undercover places were expected to get along in the usual way provided they obeyed the beer law.

Some Profit Taking Helped Keep Market
 In Irregular Form
Toward the Close Shorts Covered in Moderate Volume and the Industrial Leaders Came Back Strong Utilities Firmed Up

idustrial leaders came back from their early lows. Utilities firmed up from their lows and some of them gained. Traction issues made new highs at gains ranging to more than 3 points.
 A furry in Radio Corporation enlivened dealings in the last hour after a 10,000-share block of that stock came out at TX. It later rose toward 8 in long strings, against a previous close of TX.
 oil shares were buoyant in heavy turnover in the early dealings With new highs made by nearly every issue of the group at gains ranging to nearly points. The oil move slowed down later. but the various issues retained sizeable portion of the early gains. Incentive to buy petroleum issues was furnished by exception of government aid.
 Steel shares were firm in the early trading, but sold down when profit taking came into the indus trial issues. Steel common touched 47N where it was off & from the previous close. It later recovered to 48k up F net and then lost part of that rise.
 American Telephone ranged be- tween 1O91h and 111% and late in the day was around 110. against previous close of 111h. Allied Chemical jumped to it's previous close of 1O3A from 101 but 1t did not hold all of the gain.
 During the early dealings the Utilities met further selling. Con- solidated Gas touched 52ss off 7s on the reaction. Toward the close it came back to the previous close. Western Union was sold most of the day.
 Railroad issues were steady most of the day. Several made new tops for the year, but the group as<a a whole failed to push through the September highs, the next hurdle in the opinion of traders. Southern Pacific, New York Central, New Haven. and Union Pacific made sub stantial recoveries from their lows.
 In the oil group new tops Tor the year were made by Standard of New Jersey, Continental. Con- solidated, Barnsdall. Atlantic Re- fining, Houston, Amerada, Seaboard and Texas Corporation.
 Granby Consolidated rose frac- tionally to a new 1893 top in the coppers and gains were noted in American Smelting,' Cerro de Pas co, Anaconda, U. s. Smelling and Kennecott. Anticpations of higher prices for copper helped the group. Several of the issues which handle large amounts of silver were aided by favorable developments in re- cent silver conferences.
 Commodities held fairly well in all markets today. Grains made small losses, while cotton held steady. Bonds were mixed with U. s. governments down moderately. The dollar gained slightly in torms of foreign exchange.
 Business news continued favor able. Further gains were reported from the steel industry in various sections of the country. Dun &, sections of the country. Dunn & Bradstreet reported advances in retail and wholesale trade al- though at slightly slower pace.

band in December, 1919, evidence in Mitchelps trial for alleged in- come tax evasion showed to-day.
 Edward F. Barrett, vice-presi- dent of the National City Bank, testified on redirect examination that the only entry on the ledgers was one-"Bought by Mrs Eliz- abeth R. Mitchell. 1S.300 shares of National City bank stock, at $213 share of $S79,600. He ex- plained that his secretary, who made the entry, forgot" or made an error, and that the' sale price should have been s3,S79,0O0.
 Under questioning of U. s. At torney George z. Medalie, Barrett said there was nothing on the books to show that Mrs Mitchell paid anything for the stock, or to whom she owed the money.
 Metallic then began questioning the witness on the syndicate" op- erations by which, 1t was testified yesterday, Mitchell aided his wife in piling up approximately $300.- 900 in profits over a period of ten years.
 Medalie's attempt to introduce in evidence cash books showing Mrs MitcheIl's entire financial transactions during this period met with vigorous objection from Max D. Steuer, Mitchell's counsel, but Judge Henry W. Goddard over ruled the objection.
 Barrett testified that of .23 sym dicates in which Mrs Mitchell par ticipated, all but two were profit able.
 He explained the method of op- erating syndicates to underwrite stock fiotations, over the heated objections of Steuer, who demand ed to know ".how many times must that old song be sung?"
 Barrett admitted that in none of the syndicates was Mrs Mitchell obligated for more than $100,000, and that "she had that amount" in available resources to pay for her allotment of stock "even if the stock turned out to be absolutely worthless"
 Barrett admitted that he often wrote the replies to the letters ad- dressed to Mrs Mitchell relating to stock transactions "as her agent; without even informing her of the deals.
 ''She wouldn't know about the transaction until I figured her in- come taxes for her." he said. The letters were not sent through the mails. but merely from Mitchell's secretary to his secretary. "in the same building," he explained.
 A sharp clash between Medalie and Steuer was precipitated when

Washington, May 19-(UP)-All classes of United States money, re- gardless of backing, have been placed on the same basis for the first time in history by making them all legal tender for all debts, public and private" This provision is contained in the imitation rider to the farm relief act. Presumably it was inserted to keep all classes of money on parity despite the abandonment of the gold standard.
 The change may lead to another series of monetary entanglements such as arose from the decision of the government to refuse to honor gold coin obligations. The new law permits payment of any debt in any kind of money. Conceivably, a $1O,O00 debt could be paid in pennies, whereas heretofore pen nies were legal tender only up to 25 cents. Similarly, dimes. quar- ters and half dollars could be used for payment of any debt of any

very definite step forward in industrial stabilization, rationaliza- ton and economic planning, Green said, "The bill is appro- priately termed an industrial re- covery measure. It is, in the judg- ment of labor, the most outstand- ing, advanced and forward looking legislation designed to promote economic recovery that has thus far been proposed"
 Senator Wagner, dem, N. T., CO., author of the bill, was the first wit ness.
 Wagner asserted that the vast public works industry control measure had as its basic object 're-employment.'
 The committee planned to hear later today representatives of or ganized labor and organized busi- ness. President William Green of the American Federation of Labor and H. I. Hartman of the Cham Der of Commerce of the United States were called.
 The committee expected to com plete its consideration by Monday. House leaders predicted the essen- tial sections would not be altered from the original White House draft except that the tax section remains undecided.
 Rep Cullen, dem., N. Y., leaders of the Tammany delegation and a ranking committee member, said he favored a moderate increase in numeral income tax rates coupl- ed with removal of the exemption on dividend incomes and an added gasoline tax to raise the needed $220, 100000 in new revenue. This sum is essential to finance the pro- posed $3,300,O00,00 of public works.
 Wagner told the committee of tremendous support mobilizing" for the presidents plan. Both in- dustry and labor, he added, were back of the plan to better working conditions. and "cut throat compe- tition" and provide employment flor millions

 Up to the time of passage of the farm bill, only a few classes of the country's money were tech nically legal for payments on all kinds of public and private debts. These were silver dollars. United States notes, gold coin, gold certifi- cates, minor coins up to 25 cents and subsidiary silver up to s10.00. Federal reserve notes, comprising more than half the nations $6,- 00O, 100000 money in circulation, and national bank notes, amount ing to nearly billion dollars more, were not legal tender for certain payments. although in practice they were accepted as such.
