sufficient to meet manufacturing de-
mands for some months.
At the same time the drought has
impaired the buying power of many
sections of the country. 1t is not
alone the West and Northwest that
have been affected by it, but also
large areas in the East where grain
and hay crops and dairy products
have been heavily reduced. In Me-
York State alone the money loss from
! Winter killings and Summer dryness
! probably exceeds that of some of
| those Western districts that are re-
ceiving drought relief. Large groups
of farmers throughout the country,
who were in a buying mood last Au-
tumn. have little money to spend to-
day
From another angle the situation
has been weakened by the inordinate
advance in prices. This must be cor
rected before sound recovery is estab-
lished. There are indications that the
turn in the right direction has come.
The executive order restoring COM
petitive bidding on Government con-
tracts is proof of it, The iron and
steel Summer schedule is evidence of
it. 1t finally has come to be recoe-
nized that the consumer is on a silent
strike against costs that are out of
proportion to the advance in wages,
and that, with retail prices rs per
cent higher than year ago, buying
power is steadily being curtailed.
| Once more the suggestion is pertinent
that, if the Government program of
undermining under the housing act is
to be successful. the present level of
building costs, estimated at nearly 30
per cent above last year, must come
down.
There is surely no lack of capital
with which to promote recovery. The
trouble here again is that it is so
poorly distributed. The June 80 state
mentS of the banks ana trust COM
panies show huge amounts of cash
and Government bonds in the assets
column and relatively small totals
OF commercial loans. The average
quick position of the New York in
stitutionS is over so per cent. with in
dividual banks holding as high as 80
per cent of their resources in cash
and Federal notes. This indicates
whether or not there is still a LIQUID
lty complex" among bankers. De-
posits are rising each week. and excess
reserves are at a new high record
figure.
Forced to High Levels.
1t would appear that the only out
let for these funds was in the market
for Treasury paper or for municipal
bonds. The effect of this pressure of
huge mass of unemployed funds on
limited supply of preferred securities
is to force them to extravagant prices
and to stage of nominal income
return. 1t has been supposed for
months that this would finally effect
change in investments of lesser
rank and promote more liberal atti-
tude toward enterprises which so far
have had to be nurtured on Federal
grants. But the banking attitude in
this respect is only little more cour-
ageous than it was a year ago. If
imitation, through the process of con-
tinuous and tremendous Government
loans for relief of an industrial and
social nature is to be avoided. the
banks will have to be more open
handed in their policies than in the
past.

JEFFERSON, Wis, July 1.-THE
discovery of the badly beaten and
bullet wounded body of Earl Gentry,
once tried with D. C. Stephenson, for
mer grand dragon of the Indiana

Oberholtzer, gave Wisconsin officials a
battling Staying mystery today.
Gentry's body was found late yes
terday, grotesquely slumped in his
automobile, which had been parked
near a swimming pool on the Rock
River.
Stains Found in Home.
Absence of normal amount of blood
in the car and the fact that the body
was covered with rugs led to search
OF the home of Mrs. Carrie Gill, So
year-old widow, where Gentry had
lived for several years. The sheriff
said what appeared to be hastily
sponged stains were found on the
kitchen floor.
Mrs. Gill told authorities Gentry
left her home about $50 pm. Satur-
day. The sheriff said he learned Gen
try spent the evening with Mrs. Gills
niece, Josephine ProbSt, at Fort At
kinson, near here.
The parked automobile was first seen
near the swimming pool about mid
night Saturday. The spot is about
two blocks from the Gill residence.
When told that Gentry had been slain
Mrs. Gill insisted she knew nothing
of his movements after he left her
home. Her niece tainted when she
viewed the body.
Native of Atlanta, Ga.
Mrs Gill admitted, the sheriff said,
that the rugs covering the body came
from her house.
The police said Gentry was ma
tive of Atlanta, Ga, and had worked
in furniture factory and As a city
traffic officer in Evansville. Ind. be-
fore he became Stephenson's body

He came here shortly after he was
acquitted with Earl Klinck, another

on charges Of numbering Miss Ober-
hotter. an Indianapolis girl. in April,
1925. Stephenson was convicted and
sentenced to life Imprisonment.
