Lumber Men Join
Forces to Block
Higher Rail Rates

BY the Associated Press.
The lumber industry plans TO pre-
sent a united front in opposing the
railroads petition for authority to in
crease freight rates.
This was assured at a recent meet
ing Of representatives here, when it
was decided the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association would pre-
sent the case for the entire industry.
While details as to the factual data
to be introduced in evidence have not
been worked out. it is expected that
the case will revolve around the So
called guarantee clause" Of the trans
portation act Stress will be laid upon
the fact that existing lumber freight
tariffs have been adjudged by the
Interstate Commerce Commission as
rejecting just and reasonable maxi
mum rates.
Relative levels Of transportation
costs and material values. the effect
of higher transportation costs on the
Federal housing program and the
manner in which changes in freight
rates would affect competition be-
tween materials also will undoubtedly
be featured.

Philadelphians with money seem to

SIGNS NOW POINT

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 22.-Piec-
ing together various bits Of news OF
recent origin. Wall Street students
of the New Deal find strongly de-
fined trend toward a New Deal with
in the New Deal to allow freer work
ing of natural laws.
For one thing, such court decisions
as the Kansas City ruling on munich
pal power plants and the Maryland
decision on the farm mortgage amend
ment to the national bankruptcy act
we're expected to exert influence in
modifying New Deal tendencies. The
court decided at Kansas City the
Public Works Administration had no
constitutional authority to grant
funds for the construction of munich
pal utilities.
P. W. A. Revision Talked.
The Kansas City decision was fol-
lowed by reports in Wall Street that
a revamping of P w A policy in
respect to loans for municipal power
plants might be expected.
Revision of N. R. A. and A. A. A.
methods of controlling industry and
agricultural production has been un-
der consideration and steps in that
direction already have been taken. A
swing away from the idea of price
fixing, particularly, has been notice
able.
In connection with the apparent
tendency toward modification of Gov
eminent attempts at economic con-
troll, Wall Street observers noted that
sentiment against certain aspects of
the New Deal. notably monetary poll
cies of the administration, has been
crystallizing among business men.
Several important gatherings of busi-
ness leaders and eXponents of ortho-
doX economics have been held lately.
Meetings Arouse Interest.
Out of some have come some elab-
orate programs for reviving industry.

removing Government controls and

NEW YORK, September Plum
dreds Of glistening all-wave radio sets,
as different from existing models as
1884 automobiles are from 1929 makes,
are on display at the second annual
National Radio Electrical Exposition
in Madison Square Garden and are
attracting orders at a brisk rate, ac
cording to a survey today of the 40
manufacturers exhibiting there.
Designed for globe -grdling, these
new radio models, ranging in cost from
Sl9 to 1899, contain improvements
that permit far clearer reception than
most existing sets, which are limited
to the regular broadcaSting wave band
of 200 to $50 meters.
Television Is Absent.
Television is conspicuously absent
from the exhibition, whose sponsors
insist that all commercial displays
must be ready for actual marketing.
Behind the research scenes much is
going on to improve the art of sending
and receiving moving images, as in
dicated by the new Radio Corporation
development, so the prophets say that
television will have some important
inventions to show domestic pur-
chasers before many more shows roll
round.
With the So-called airplane dial on
the face of 1885 radio models, it is
possible to cover a band from IS to
$50 meters, bringing the entire world
to ones fireSide. These dialS are so
calibrated and colored that it is easy
to find foreign stations One manu-

Interference Eliminated.
A magic brain" triple fltering" :"
special short-wave antennae and other
devices are used on these all-wave
radio sets to eliminate interference.
The radio show this year emphasizes
units designed to stop hit-and-miss
tuning and thereby gain tone excel
lence and eliminate distortions.
The 'tune-o-matic," a clock by
means Of which the listener can pre-
select a number of programs over a
l2-hour period, is new tuning device.
The "shadow-tuner," which makes it
possible for the eye to aid the ear in
tuning precisely, is another aid to cor
rect tuning.

These index figures are adjusted for

change from the previous week should
coincide with the normal seasonal

BY CHARLES r. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 22-The
financial situation drags along without
much change. but with some new as
poets this week of promising char
acter.
There has been. for instance.
firmer tone to markets for securities.
After a decline that had carried the
averages to approximately the low OF
the year, stocks rallied. Corporation
bonds recovered with them. There
has been less pressure on Government
obligations, though the conversion OF
the Fourth Liberty 4 as has been un-
satisfactory.
Retail trade exhibits a healthy con-
dition except in the sections of the
country where unemployment, due TO
the textile strike. reduces the spend
ing capacity of their people. There
has been less bitterness shown in the
negotiations between employers and
representatives Of labor and numerous
signs pointing to an adjustment OF
their differences.
The iron and steel production fig
ures have turned upward, hesitatingly
to be sure. but suggesting the return
Of consumers to market which they
have avoided for weeks. Then the
drought situation has immensely i'm
proved where it had been most dis
astrous. The late rains have insured
crops of unexpected size. Farmers
have regained courage and are be-
ginning to spend money.
