POUND At NEW
RECORD Low

LONDON, Aug. 81 GNS0.
The pound sterling declin e d
steadily today, hitting new all
time record in relation to the
French franc this afternoon. At
2:3O p. m, the pound had hit
$4.98A in relation to the dollar.
The quotation in francs was 74H2.
Operators of the exchange
equalization fund made no ap-
parent effort to stem the fall.
Failure of the sterilization fund
to operate caused some apprehen-
sion among financial observers,
who saw in it at least partial
confirmation of recent reports
the fund is now at a low ebb.
Meanwhile, a frantic scramble
for gold on the part of Specula-
tors ensued, although professional
traders gradually eased out Of
the market, fearing reaction
during the next few days.
The record high price of gold
now being quoted caused the pub
lie to rush to dispose of their
remaining gold trinkets and SOW
ereignS in exchange for paper
cash.

COTTON PRICES
LOSE GROUND

NEW YORK, Aug. 81 G.N.S0.
The cotton market continued to
lose ground today, with the textile
strike threat scheduled to start
tomorrow night, influencing fur
Their declines ranging on top Of
yesterdays 75-cents-a-bale drop.
The list was unsteady at the
opening, with initial declines OF
from one to six points, following
closely the trend of the Liverpool
market, where losses of from one
to eight points below due prices
were sustained.
There was extensive price-fixing
orders by the trade and buying by
brokers acting for the Far East,
but when this demand petered out
early in the session the weight of
heavy hedge offerings and selling
by Liverpool had their effect, with
the market reaching the lowest
level since August 4 around the
forenoon lows.
Several new handicaps faced
traders committed to the bull side
Of cotton. Not only was the mar
ket under the influence of the
Government crop report scheduled
for the end of the next week, and
the unSettling textile strike news,
but the recent protracted drop in
sterling exchange also was re-
garded beariShly. Cotton traders
doing an international business
saw in the action of the British
pound increased competition for
American cotton from cotton
grown under the sterling area,
notably India and Egypt.
Rainfall in the cotton belt was
limited to showers in Georgia and
in the Galveston and San Antonio
districts of Texas.
Near the non hour losses ranged
from three to eight points, with
October off at 1903, December
off S at 1915, January off 4 at
1921, March off 8 at 1928, May
off at 1922, and July off at
1888.

CHANGE WARNS
REG|STRANTS

If applications for temporary
registration of securities listed on
the New York Stock Exchange
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission are not received by
the exchange before September 13
it will be necessary to suspend
trading in the issues, the exchange
warned last night.
The warning was contained in
a letter to the executives Of cor
porations which have not yet ap-
piled for registration.
Out of the 1,412 issuerS with Sc
curities listed on the exchange
only 2O6 had applied for registra
ton through the exchange at the
close of business on Wednesday.
Nine of the latter number were
bondholders' protective commit
tees and one was a stockholders
protective committee. The appll-
cations must be filed with the com
mission by September Is.
The letter warns further that
if applicants are delayed until
within two or three days of the
time limit it may become phys
ically impossible for the exchange
to check them.
The exchange sent a circular
letter to corporation heads on
August Is and application regis
tration blanks. The 206 applica-
lions were made in response to it..

PRIVATE LOANS

New legislation to provide more
Government or Government-guar-
anteed credit for business is fore
Swallowed today as the Treasury
launches brain trust" survey OF
refusalS of bank credit in the
Middle west.
From 40 to so young economists
will set out from Chicago Monday
for a "fact-finding" study of 1000
refusals of loans, involving from
100 to 200 banks.
DR.. Jacob Viner, professor of
economics at the University of
Chicago and head of the Treasury
brain trust" group preparing to
recommend banking and tax legiS-
lation, will direct the survey.
Secretary Morgenthau, who
joined with Viner in making the
announcement, said the outcome
expected was either finding that
credit facilities are adequate, or
recommendations for new legiSla-
ton.
Since the RFC and the Federal
Reserve System have initiated
loans of only IA million dollars out
of 600 million contemplated by
Congress, however, move for new
legislation appeared virtually as
Sured.
Indications from the cred t
agencies we're that legislative rec
concentrations will not be linn
tied to the Governments assum-
ing additional and larger risks.
There is a strong view, based on
vast quantities of information al
ready gathered, that large pro-
portion of prospective borrowers
are too deeply in debt.
Some, according to Administra-
ton assertions, want the Govern
ment to advance money to pay
off their debts in full, instead of
first dickering with their cred
itors to reduce the debts and then
turning to the Government for
loans. A requirement that debts
be reduced and other adjustments
be made may be written into any
legislation proposed.
Morgenthau and Viner were
confident the survey will yield
much specific and accurate in
formation on credit conditions in
a "cross section of America"
Administration critics pointed
out that it would also tend to CEN
ter attention upon prospective
new help for borrowers, instead
of the slow progress made with
present loans.

FOR YANKEES
BY THEON WRIGHT
ed Press Staff Correspondent

UmteG Press STAFF correspondent
NEW YORK, July 6. The
music of the spheres has become
an important part of the baseball
playing repertoire of the New York
Yanks particularly their fence
busting first sacker, Columbia Lou
Gehrig.
Columbia Lou uses wood in
strument about two and half feet
long, and one of the reasons the
Yanks are up there today is the
way Mrs. Gehrig's boy plays that
musical wagon spoke. Yesterday he
used it on Messrs, Stewart, Kline
and McColl of the Washington
pitching personnel, and it account
ed for seven of the eight runs the
Yanks got.
Gehrig got four bingles in four
trips to the wicket, including two
home runs, but his speciality is
knocking his mates along the base
paths. His figures for the sea-
son now total 38, which leads the
list; he is third in batting with
1863 and third in home runs with
%.
Gehrig's first journey yesterday
was a home run in the third, with
Ruth, Saltzgaver and Crosetti jog
ging in ahead of him. He hooked
another of Wally Stewards deliv-
cries into the stands in the seventh
The Yanks thus moved their lead
over the idle Detroit Tigers by a
half game. They lead the loop by
game and half.
Bob Johnson, the Tacoma torpedo,
singled home the winning run in
the seventh, enabling the Ath-
letics to beat the Boston Red Sox,
6-5.
Oral Hildebrand shut out the
Chicago White Sox in Cleveland's
opener with them, 80, dealing out
eight hits. The Indians pulled
themselves into tie with Boston
for third place, Washington sliding
to fifth.
The Giants encouraged Brook
lyn to take three run lead in the
early heats, then sailed into the
flatbushers in the sixth and seventh
for five runs each and won 1877.
The Boston Braves and Phillies
pelted the horseleather for 81
blows during lusty afternoon in
which the Phils emerged victorious,
l4-l1, getting 20 hits to II for the
Braves.

No Air Line On
Diving TnUention

NEW ORLEANS, July 6. U.P)-
There IS no air line on the new
diving helmet invented by N. M.
Redmond, foreman of mechanics
on the new Mississippi river bridge
here.
The helmet is completely self
contained, requiring neither air.
line nor pump. Even the conven-
tional diving unit with weighted
belt and shoes is dispensed with.
Two oxygen tanks are attached
to the sides of the helmet. The
diver, in an ordinary bathing suit,
climbs halfway into the water and
the helmet which looks like an
inverted coal scuttle is placed over
his head. A valve is opened al
lowing a constant stream of oxygen.
An electric headlight has been
installed and, Redmond, who has
been under the water as feet with
the helmet, says the diver can see
20 feet under water. Only one per-
son is required to operate the gear.
