BUSINESS UPSWING
FULL SPEED AHEAD
Further Improvement Indicated
Says Dun and Brad
street Review

New York, April l3.-(R)-"Reports
from every part Of the country this
week brought uniform proofs Of q
further definite upswing in business
industry" said the Dun d Bradstreet
weekly trade review Friday.
The review commented that while
full credit Is accorded the emergency
legislation enacted last year for the
wholesome betterment provided by the
strong foundation laid for business
recovery as well Is for the strength
ening Of the nations banking struc-
ture, considerable stress Is now being
placed on the need for allowing the
forward movement to proceed unham-
pered by new and unnecessary restric-
tions."
Regarding the movement Of retail
trade, the review asserted that al
most without exception, the leading
retailers Of the country find that the
tapering off In business, which usual
" Is apparent after Easter, has not
developed, as volume last Saturday in
some centers was the heaviest for any
single day in three years, with the
gain reaching 10 to 50 per cent over
the comparable period last year,
when Easter buying was ct its peak.
"AS the month advances gains will
become larger, Is spring requirements
have been covered only partially thus
far, and the larger income Of workers,
when compared with year ago. will
carry the totals to more advanced lev
els than appeared likely = month
ago"

money" and that he himself had new

state or federal official.
DR.. Wirt's attorney, James A. Reed,
did the talking In the exchange with
Bulwinkle, demanding an apology
from the North Carolinian for his
charge that the educator had been
jailed during the war for "pro-Ger-
man" activities.

his client had been done IAN irremedi-
able wrong" and called for a re-
traction on the floor Of the house.

Turned Over to Berry
Friday Night

Panderma, Turkey. April 13.-(R-
Samuel insult turned jokester Friday
on a little train chugging toward
Smyrna. where ship waits to return
him to the United States for trial.
To the surprise of fellow-passengers,
he cast off his appearance Of despair
during the night voyage by ship from
1stanbul to this Mamora seaport. He
even joked about the seven-man Tur-
kish escort.
1T is remarkable" he said in jest.
that should need an escort of sew
en-. I'm personally harmless"
That was over the after-dinner cof-
fee aboard the steamer Adana en-
route from Istanbul.
The fact that he was beginning q
journey against which he fought a
year and a half before finally being
jailed by Turkish authorities at
Washington's request, did not disturb
Insults sleep.
He was sleeping soundly when the
Adara locked here at 8 a. m. He was
taken ashore at 6:l5. Half an hour
later he was aboard the train,
Smyrna bound.
The train was due at Smyrna, about
Its miles from Panderma. at $3.50
o'clock Friday night. There, aboard
the American export liner Exilona
insult will be handed over to Burtin
Y. Berry, of the American embassy
at Istanbul. Berry was designated to
accompany him homeward.
The gray-haired old man laughed
frequently at dinner on the Adana.
insult looked at the Turkish police
commissioner. Navy Bey, when he
mentioned his escort. Others at the
table were a detective, five newspa-
permen and a cameraman, besides
young Miss Feriha, Turkish girl who
formerly was student at the Uni
versity of Chicago. She sat at In
sull's right.
insults cabin on the Adana was
plain and his quarters aboard the
Exilona are not much more to the
liking Of the man who once could
command the best the world affords.

Roosevelt 'Prodigal Son.
On Return From Vacation
Republicans as Well as Demo-
Gratis Assemble for OFF,
cial Reception

Washington, April 13.-(R-The
glad hand and q brass band were
Washington's welcome home" to
President Roosevelt Friday.
A goodly number Of the congress
which has been none too kind to
parts of the Roosevelt program while
the president was away on vacation
set their alarm clocks to ring early 50
they could meet him. To the music
Of the band they were ready to par
ade to the station and lend to the &C.
casion jubilant spirit.
Some Republicans as well as DEM
ocrats gathered for the reception in
an atmosphere considerably differ
ent from Rooseveltis departure nearly
three weeks ago. The house then had
just overridden his veto on veterans
and federal employee benefits, and the
senate was ready to follow.
Presidential advice Is awaited OF
. score Of issues.
Probably the most important Is the
controversial stock market regulation
bill that has been modified so much
by both senate and house committees
that he viii hardly recognize it.
When he departed for his fishing
cruise, Roosevelt left word with con-
gressional leaders that he wanted q
bill with teeth in it." The measure
then drafted shouldn't be weakened"
he said. Whether he will be able to
bring his followers back to the start
ing point remains to be seen.
A chorus Of objections by business
men against the 1888 securities act
and an intense drive to open It up
for modification at this session also
faces him.
The vastly revised general revenue
bill In the senate containing increases
in income taxes not requested by the
treasury and imposing levies, despite
Rooseveltian objections, on oil i'm
ports from the Philippines, also pre-
sents . troublesome factor.
More trouble is on the administra-
ton horizon ct Detroit, where the
automobile industry Is threatened by
strikes.
