REED ATTACKS
F. RS. POLICIES
Fires Opening Gun in His
Candidacy for Re-elec-
ton to Senate

WASHINGTON, Apr. 8. CUP,
The Roosevelt administrations
policies threaten to "carry us over
the brink of initiation to complete
chaos" Senator David A. Reed,
Republican, of Pennsylvania, de-
clared last night in formal dec
laration of his candidacy Tor re-
election.
Pledging himself to continue to
support the president when ~ be-
lieve him to be right and to OPP
pose him when l believe him to
be wrong" Reed denounced mary
administration policies as "futile
and fantastic" poisonous, waste
full and dangerous TO American
civilization.
Reed is leading conservative
Republican spokesman in the SEN
ate. His platform seemed likely
to be taken as a keynote by many
Republicans in the congressional
campaigns which will provide their
first tests of popular opinion In
the Illinois primaries this week.
"In the name of national re-
covery," Reed said, 'the present
administration has launched the
country on a course which, unless
soon checked may well carry us
over the brink of initiation to
complete chaos and which even
now mortgages the future Of our
youth and wastes wildly the slow
" accumulated savings and pres
ent earnings of all the people,
"a little band of men in Wash
ington are seeking covertly to
change our course as a nation, to
increase the power of the central
government and to substitute for
individual initiative government
tai control of all agricultural pro
duction and of all business actlv-
ity. l am against that and | can
never support policies which to
me seem likely to lead us in that
direction. Xxx
"Deluded by promises of magic
cures for ancient ills, America Is
being fed poisons from which 1t
will take decades to recover.
al call upon the people of Penn
sylvania to join me in a stern and
sincere protest against the waste
full policies which, carried into ell
feet with no warning, without
submission to the people, threaten
their happiness and security and
invite disaster for the nation"
Declaring he was fighting "for
the libertie~, the justice, the do
nestle tranquility, the common
defense and the general welfare
which the constitution guarantees
to all Americans" Reed set forth
his credo:
81 do not believe that we can
spend our way to prosperity.
81 am unwilling to see destroy
ed in four years a civilization
which has been centuries in the
building.
81 am opposed to Fascism as
strongly as to communism.
81 believe that, given liberty OF
expression and action, and a
chance to vote freely and honest
ly the people can be depended on
to find a solution for all of their
problems. At all costs they must
be told the truth.
81 believe that governments
and men who cannot stand crltl-
cism are those who need it most
81 believe that only through de-
liberate discussion can we come to
sound, constructive conclusions.

DRIVE GAINS TO LOOSEN
REGULATIONS BILL

WASHINGTON, Apr. 9. (UP).
Proponents of the strict federal
stock market supervision plan suf-
fered defeat on the first test of
alignment in the Senate banking
committee which is seeking to get
the drastic measure to the floor.
The first test developed on an
amendment offered by Senator
Carter Glass, Democrat, Virginia,
who proposed that control be
lodged in a newly created board
of three members to be appointed
by the president.
The second defeat came when,
10 to 8, the committee voted to
strike from the bill all of Section
2. which declares congressional
intent to regulate the markets in
the public interest of the public.
This section is considered vital to
any court test.

PLUCKY LITTLE CIRLSAVED FROM
 BEING KILLED
Caught on Trestle, She .Clung to Tie Until
 Train Passed

Concord, Mass. March 26-(UP) Death roared past Lillian Han sen, 13 year old schoolgirl, at mile-a.minute speed here yester- day as she slung by her fnger-tips to the end of railroad tie on a trestle 20 feet above the deep wa ters of the swollen Concord river.
 She had gone with her sister, Elizabeth, 16, and two chums, Mar garet Hanley, 13, and Eileen Berry, 13, for what promised to be an uneventful Sunday afternoon stroll.
 Reaching the 200 foot trestle, the three younger girls started across, while Elizabeth decided to cross the river by parallel foot bridge.
 Halfway over, the trio were staftled by locomotive whistle. Seconds later the Minute Man, crack Boston-Chicago express s, flashed around a nearby bend. Screaming, the girls scurried for safety. Margaret reached the end of the trestle ahead of the train. Eileen became confused, darted to- ward the. train, stumbled, and rolled between the rails of the par aIlef track, scared but safe.
 Lillian also tripped but she land- ed on the outer side of the trestle, with only the projecting ties be- tween her and the river. Clutching the end of one tie with her fingers she lowered herself and hung there, safe momentarily, while the express, brakes screeching, roarcd overhead.
 When Byron Fish, IS year old high school football player. and another youth had pulled Lillian to her feet, she was pale and almost hysterical, but insisted she was "all right"

ARMY FLYERS TO
 CONTINUE WORK
Will Fly the Mail for One Year -B Bill Goes to
 President

Washington. March 2G-CUP).- Congressional action on the emer- gency airmail bill was completed today when the house accepted sem ate amendments. The bill author izes the army to fly the mall for one year. @
 The measure goes to the White House for the signature.
 Most important of the senate amendment requires army mail planes to be equipped with safety and radio devices.
 Although the bill authorized ex- penditurcs for army operation of the mail for as long as one year. the administration hopes to com. 'plcte soon it's much revised legisla- tion to return the mall to private lines.
 Funds provided under the pres ent bill will enable the army i'm mcdiately to pay expense accounts of its flyers. Many have complain. ed that they have suffered much hardship because of lack of money to meet living expenses and other costs incident to their transfer to mali flights.
 In addition the bill provides that full war timc pensions are to be paid pilots disa bIed while carrying the mails.

New York. March 26-(U.P.)- Dullness brought a general reces- sion from sharp early advances on the New York Stock Exchange to- day.
 The close showed gains or frac- ton to point.
 Many bidders at opening of the market, believed settlement of au- tomotive labor difficulties would serve as lever to start the long sought spring rally. Blocks of 1000 to 5000 shares whirled out. Prices were up l to almost 3 points. Tick CTS ran behind.
 But it couldn't last. Trading fell off until tickers barely operated. Prices started easing. Brokers re- ported there was no liquidation in the final four hours but that there was no incentive to buy.
 Motors continued strong through the session. Mining shares came in for bit of attention-Homes mestake jumping 20 1-S points at mide-scs- sion-and there was activity in the lower priced group.
 Chrysler after opening at 55 slipped down to around 54 for about point gain. General Motors held fractional gain at around 38 after selling above 39. Nash, Au- burn and some of the lesser priced automotive shares also receded from early highs. Automotive equipments held fractional ad- vanceb wibt Briggs up IA. at 1G.
 Railroads started slipping back as more favorable news came out on the railroad labor situation. New York Central dropped from high of 37 3-4, to 36 3-4. for fractional advance. Pennsylvania was, about a point under it's high at 34 7-S. Southern Pacific lost all of it's gain.
 U. s. Steel held only fractional advance around 52. after opening at above 53. Bethlehem Steel fol- lowed about the same course. Ma tional Steel had a point gain at 481-2.
 After Schenley Distillers had an- nounced price reduction it's shares lost 1-8 point to 3b 3-4. aft

W6OL MARKET

Boston, Mar. 26-tUP)-Trad- ing in the Boston wool market ebbed to the lowest level in many months today. A
 Demand was restricted to small lots and not man. of them. Prices were unchanged.
 It was buyers market although resistance to price-cutting was suf- ficient to hold values steady ex- cept for small odds and ends.
 The U. s. agriculture department said: Trading in wool is very quiet in the Boston market. Prices are showing no definite change in trend. While there is considerable pressures for lower wool prices, Il pretty stiff resistence is being of- fered by some of the largest hold CTS of wool. Estimated receipts of domestic wool at Boston, reported to the Boston grain and flour ex- change during the week ending March "A, amounted to 465,90c pounds. compared with 19S,900 pounds during the previous week..

(COltinued from Page l.) house to amend the veterans sec- tions further. Rejection of the new amendment, sponsored by Senator Frederick Steiwer. republican, Ore, as needed for classification. would send the measure back to confer ence between the two houses.
 There remained some question of the White House attitude. Last week 1t was predicted tfrat a presi- dential veto would follow adoption by congress of any provision for unqualified restoration to the com pensation rolls of the so-called pre- sumptive cases. Such a provision is contained in the house amend ments.
 The bill was taken back to the house immediately by Rep Clifton A. Woodrum, democrat, Va, chair. man of the house appropriations subcommittee in charge of the bill. He said he hoped to obtain quick action and send the bill to the White House this afternoon.
 Speed was exerted because of President ROosevelt's expected de- parture from Washington tomor- row. The senate's action left the bill in form unsatisfactory to the White House. Administration lead CTS said privately they expected a prompt veto.
 Senator Pat McCarran, democrat, Nev, whoswith Senator Frederick Steiwer, republican, Ore, led the fight for increased veterans ben efits. was not dismayed at reports of a veto and said he expected the bill to be signed.
 Earlier the senate agreed, 4S to 39, to accept the Taber amend ments to the bill which restored veterans compensations to within 25 per cent of the amount former service men received before the economy act of 1883.
 The senate voted 59 to 19 to re- store 10 per cent of the 15 per cent pay cut which federal employees re- ceived in the same act.
 Compensation restoratiOns were added to the bill by congress des- bite vigorous protests from the ad- ministration.
 The president openly threatened to veto the bill as originally pass- ed by the senate. That draft pro- vided for full 15 per cent restora- ton for federal employees and q return of approximately 90 per cent of the veterans reductions.
 The bill as it now stands adds approximately $200. .000. 900 to the original independent offices bill as it was submitted to the bureau of the budget.
