At the same time com modities generally movxed higher. Corn led the grains upward. Rub Der, silk, and sugar firmed. Cot ton was bid up for a time but it gave up gains near the close.

GAY NINETIES IS
 NOT TO BE HELD
Republicans Were Scared That Democrats Would
 Steal the Show

Washington, Aug 21-U.P)- The gay nineties political date, which Senator James Hamilton Lewis. democrat, Illinois, suggested isn't going to be held because the republicans don't trust the demo- crats.
 Senator Daniel o. Hastings re- publican, Delaware, chairman of paign committee turned down the idea to-day in a letter to Lewis.
 He said such an oratorial bat tie between the republicans and democrats was too old fashioned and that anyway the job holding democrats probably would pack the hall.
 "In these days with so many democrats employed by the gov ernment," wrote Hastings "a mere suggestion of the democratic po- litical boss would send them head long to such a meeting and they would occupy large part of the front part of the hall. No, my de,r senator, I don't want to ob- lisate my committee to take part in s.ny such program: and while your letter does not in so many words suggest that you and l de- bate, I take it that one of the first suggestions if we enter into any such agreement would be for you and myself to meet.
 That you'd he a wholly unfair contest. Your keen wit and your pur, English would overcome the weakness of your argument

 In his statement to all post com manders, MT Hayes wrote in part:
 Because of the continuous growth of insidious, un-American propaganda, which is undermining the confidence of the American people in the Constitution and our form of government. all posts are being called upon to formulate plans for nationwide patriotic observance on September 17 this year. The purpose of this demon- stration is to stimulate a greater Appreciation of our Constitution and the rights, benefits and privi- leges guaranteed thereby.
 Every member of our organiza- ton, upon being accepted for membership, solemnly pledged himself to support the ten pur- poses set forth in the legion pre- amble. The first of these ten pur- poses is to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States
 Let us prove, by taking the lead in this observance, that there is no place in America for those who will not support and defend the Constitution"

permanent congress, said it would
 be modelled after the league of na-
 tions. with permanent secre-
 tariat nations in behalf of Jews,
 The situation of Jews became
 steadily worse throughout the
 world during the last year, pr
 Goldman said. In his keynote
 speech last night to delegates of
 26 nations. Goldman called upon
 Jews to fight the wave of anti
 Semitism which, he said. threat
 ened to sweep the world. He
 mentioned Argentina and Mexico
 as among several Central and
 South American nations in which storng anti-Semitic movements had started.
 He traced the rise of the anti Semitic wave first to the economic crisis, secondly to the development of the "totalitariaan" state claims the right to control the entire life of it's people. and thirdly to the exaggeration of race theories as in
 Germany. There was one good result. he said-that many Jews had return ] ed to Judaism. but, he pointed out Jews in earlier days were able to save themselves from persecution by emigration while now there
 were almost no emigration policies Even the possibilities of Palestine 1 were limited. he said.

A.A.A. Urges Review
 Of Legislature Laws
Legal Penalties for Driving While Under the Influence
 of Liquor Wholly Inadquate in Many States

Penalties that may be legally inn posed for first offense convictions range from one cent to $5000.
 Jail sentences provided by law range from one day to five years.
 Seven states, namely, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Ne braska, Oregon, and West Virginia, make jail sentences mandatory for first convictions, while two states, Kentucky and Mississippi, have no provision either for an optional or mandatory jail sentence for first offenses.
 Three states, New Hampshire. Virginia and Rhode Island, have definitely provided by law that sentences for second convictions cannot be suspended.
 Suspension of revocation of driv- ing licenses is mandatory for first offenses in T states.
 Only seventeen states, all of them having the A. A. A. Safety Responsibility Law, require the posting of financial responsibility upon conviction of this offense. Commenting on the findings. MT Herny said in part: "It can readily be seen that the situation as far as the laws of the states are concerned, is very much of a hodgepodge. It is rendered even more so by the fact that many cities and towns have ordi- nances providing penalties which are in conflict with those specified in state laws. This should not be permitted.
 "The penalties under the laws of many states are wholly inade- quate and ineffective in practice. In other states they are unduly severe, with the result that con- victions are difficult to secure.
 "A reasonable standard for the treatment of this class of highway offender is furnished in the uni form motor vehicle code as re- gently amended by the fourth national conference on street and highway safety. For first convic- tions is prescribes fine of not less than S1OO and not more than $1.000. or a jail sentence of not less than ten days and not more than one year. or both. For sec ond offenses, it prescribes a min. imum mandatory jail sentence of ninety days. with an additional fine in the discretion of the court
 Strict enforcement within these ranges, together with the effective use of the power to revoke driving rights and the universal applica- tion of the safety-responsibility law requirements for the posting of financial responsibility. would afford an effective and uniform method of control. which might well render unnecessary more drastic steps, such as mandatory iail sentences for first offenses and the denial to the judiciary of the right to suspend sentences. "We may well expect drastic proposals unless this situation is handled intelligently and firmly

Geneva, Aug 21.-(UP)-A super government of Judaism, rep resentative of Jews in every coun- try and pledged to fight unceasing. ly and uncompromisingly against oppression of the race, was in pro- cess of formation today.

 The present congress went on record at its opening session last night, through its keynote speaker. Dr Nachum Goldman, to fight Nazi Germany by boycott and otherwise until the rights of Ger man Jews are fully restored. Rabi stephen S. Wise of New York was elected president. A group of Eu- ropean Jews urged in the congress today that the boycott be relaved in fakor of an effort for recon ciliation with Germany.

LAWRENCE MILLS
 TO CLOSE DOWN

Lawrence, Mass, Aug 21-(UP) All Lawrence textile mills may be closed voluntarily early next month in a move evidently intend- ed to throw the threatened textile strike off balance.
 The American Woolen Company announced today it would close its four mills here September for two weeks. Dull business was siv- en as the reason for the closure.
 It was anticipated that all other textile mills here would follow suit. in which event some 22,000 operatives would be thrown out of work.
 At a sparsely- attended meeting of the local branch of the United Textile Workers of America last night. it was voted to follow the leadership of the national organi- zation and to join in the strike If and when one is called.

Washington, Aug 21-In many states, it is legally possible today for motorist convicted of driving while drunk to escape a fine of as little as one cent or one day in jail.
 This is one of the highlights of a comprehensive report by the Amer ican Automobile association on the penalties provided in the laws of the AS states and the District of Columbia for the offense of driving while under the influence of liquor.
 While the relative importance of driving while drunk has prob- ably been exaggerated as a factor in the mounting toll of highway accidents, it is nevertheless a factor and one over which we must and can secure a greater measure of control by providing more uniform adequate, reasonable, and rigidly enforced penalties" Thomas P. Henry, president of the national motoring body, declared.

This is not the first occasion in which Beatrice has sought the sol itude of the cloister. For several years, especially since her father refused to permit her marriage to her cousin, Alonzo De Bourbon, a student engineer, she has consid- cred taking the veil.
 Her sorrow is so manifest that intimates of the royal family have been seeking information from sev- eral religious orders regarding her induction. Every order approached, it was said, reported it would be glad to open its doors to the prin- cess.
 Her mother, curtailing her vaca- tion, will arrive at the exiles' pal ace at Fontainebleu tomorrow. leaving her other children with Alfonso until the end of the month.
 Other members of the family. including the Prince of Asturias and his Cuban bride, the Infante Eulalie, and former Ambassador Quinones De Leon attended a re- quiem mass for the repose of the soul of Gonzales, in a Spanish con- vent at Paris.
 In an effort to give Beatrice a final opportunity to change her mind, the former queen is arrang- ing for the princesses to go to Ire land in September, to visit Lady Londonderry.

In response to implied criticisms of street salesmen commercializ- ing" the firemen's parade in Wa terbury Saturday, leaders of var ious ex-service mems organizations to-day issued statements disavow- ing any official sanction of the ac- tions of veterans in offering flags or souvenirs for sale.
 There is a state law, which per- mits ex-service men to offer art . 1cles for sale on the streets of any city or town. without license. Lo- ical organizations have from time to time drowned upon the actions of veterans sporting service caps" or buttons and appealing to the public to buy various articles. Scores buy under the impression that they are aiding local organiz- ations. As matter of fact they are aiding only the individual from whom they buy.
