NEW YORK, February 6.-Rayon
yarn makers now are booking April
business, as March orders virtually
have exhausted production capacity
permitted under the N. r. A. code.
January sales attained their ex-
pected high level despite the record
use, production and exports Of rayon
last year An advance in rayon yarn
prices is now looked for by the trade
Although some firms complain of
slow demand from underwear
manufacturers, orders for novelties
are flowing In at a more rapid rate
and hosiery mill stocks of yarn are
so low that such users OF rayon yarn
are about to re-enter the market.
With one eye on advancing raw
materials and the other on Washing
ton, where certain groups are trying
to force a processing tax on rayon
and silk to offset that sort of i'm
post on cotton, the trade Is talking
about an agreement on general pro-
motional selling if and when the In
ternational Silk Guild carries out its
proposed organized selling drive.
Statistically rayon is in much bet
ter shape than year ago, as a
result of the trades careful balance
between supply and demand and its
price policy. When the natural tex
tiles, silk and cotton, were rocketing
last year. rayon makers refused to
increase prices. To discourage rayon
yarn speculation, makers allotted
their products in periods of scarcity
The price stability of rayon won
for it many new users.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.

NEW YORK, February 6.-Wall
Street, busy with the inflow Of COM
missions, as a result Of record bond
trading, large stock dealings and
heavy commodity transactions, never
theless finds time to discuss reported
plans for exchange regulation as these
come from Washington.
The more thoughtful observers in
the street believe that some exchange
regulation might be a good thing.
They point out that railroads, utilities
and national banks, when properly
regulated, have certain definite gains
to themselves and their public.
These commentators, however, raise
an interesting query: Are we to have
part regulated and part free security
dealings? If an exchange, where all
deals take place in an open market In
broad daylight. needs regulation. why
do not the r-the-counter markets,
where there are virtually no rules or
requirements, also need regulation?''
Without going into the abuses Of
over -the-counter markets, it is OBJ
vious that permitting some security
dealings to be unregulated would
| create a situation analogous to the
bus truck railroad situation.

Dollar Weakens
AS Gold Buying
Offsets Demand
BY the Associated Press.

by tlle hSSOCldLeQ fItSS.
LONDON, February 6-The United
States dollar declined 294 cents to the
pound today, closing at s4.96l2 to the
pound as compared to the overnight
quotation of S49334. 1t opened at
$49312.
The demand for the transfer Of
money to the United States to invest
in stocks and commodities kept the
rate steady most Of the day against
sales of dollars for gold purchases, but
dollar offerings in the afternoon were
more than the market cared to ab-
sorb and the rate weakened to close
at the days lowest.
The franc staged a smart recovery
on reassuring statements regarding
Frances intention to stay on the gold
standard and buyers exchanged dol
lars and pounds for francs-a reversal
Of yesterdays procedure.
The rate improved at one time by
nearly 2 francs from which it
slipped to close at 1853 francs to the
pound as compared with last nights
final figure of 1918. Other gold cur
rencies also improved.
A quantity of gold offerings from all
quarters made the demand for the
metal less keen and the price dropped
9 pence to 139 shillings 3 pence
S34.36 a fine ounce on the basis of the
opening dollar quotation. At that
price the bulk of 81 ,170,0 900 worth was
bought by American purchasers.
The influx of gold from the con-
tinent was due to the price here being
a premium over the French price and
buyers securing supplies from France
and selling for profit.

CHANGES LIKELY
IN GUARANTY ACT
Permanent Form Expected
to Include Several New
Features.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business Writer.

There appears little possibility that
the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor
poration will enter its state of per-
manency on July !. 1884, in its pres
ent form.
Already several suggestions for
altering that section OF the banking
act of 1884 have been made, and some
have reached the floor of the Senate.
namely, a resolution by Senator VAN
denburg, Republican. of Michigan.
which would establish S2,500 as the
maximum deposit to be insured fully
100 per cent.
Under the law in its present form
a temporary insurance fund became
operative on January last. guaran-
teeing fully not more than S2,500 de-
posits, to be superseded by the per-
manent features of the act on July !.
1884, which insures fully deposits up
to $4,000 and graduated percentages
of amounts in excess of that figure.
Compromise Talked.
The temporary fund now in exist
ence is believed by many officials to
grant full protection to about 95 per
cent Of all bank accounts in the
country.
Some Capital quarters expect a
compromise to be reached before the
plan becomes permanent, establishing
$4,000 as the maximum amount to
gain full insurance This, it is said,
will cover SO per cent of the number
of all bank accounts in the country.
Another provision of the act which
is expected to be changed is that
which places no limit to the number
Of assessments which may be levied
against the open banks to meet the
losses of closed ones. Walter J. Cum
mings, who retired last week as chair
man of the board of the corporation,
found fault also with this provision,
/ saying that under a loose banking
system the losses even under average
conditions would be a heavy burden
for the banks as a whole.
Official Rating Probable.
officials of the corporation also be-
lieve that eventually the debentures
which it can issue will receive some
kind of official rating in that mar
| ket for them can be maintained.
Under the law, in its present form, It
may issue and have outstanding at
any one time its notes. debentureS,
bonds or other such obligations in an
amount aggregating not more than
three times its capital. These securl-
ties, of which none have been issued.

PITTS AND WIFE
INDICTED

NEWARK, N. j., Sept. 5
G.N.SO.-The Federal grand
Jury today returned an indict-
ment against three residents Of
washington, D. c., charging con-
spiracy to defraud the govern
ment of $2,020,453 in income
taxes, penalties and interest.
Those named were: George
Bryan Pitts and his wife, Gladys,
and Henry o. Hart, reputed to
be their agent in real estate
dealings.
The indictment alleges eVasions
by Pitts in 1926, 1927, 1928, 1880
and 1881 but makes no refer
ence to 1929. Hart is charged with
acting as their agent in the trans
fer of $300,001 in securities and
jewelry from taxable sources to
a deposit box in the Hotel Cla-
ridge, at Atlantic City, on Sep
tember S, 1881. The Government
also held that Mr.. and Mrs.
Pitts had "sold or conveyed
other property to escape tax pay
ment.
It seeks to collect $1,315,243 in
taxes, $572,001 in penalties and
$133, 200 in interest.

NJ C GOVERNOR LAUNCHES FIRST MOVE TO SETTLE STRIKE
Here, Backs
New Deal Policies
Of Roosevelt

beamed when he dropped by the
summer white House executive
offices established in Poughkeep-
sic, six miles away, for the specific
purpose of talking with the news
papermen who cover Mr.. Roose-
velt.
Seems Won by President
Still breathless from a climb
upstairs to the reportorial head
quarters, Mr.. Sinclair said:
81 just had the most interest
ing twO,hour conference / ever
had in my life.
II talked with one Of the
kindest and most genial and
Open-minded and lOvable men I
have ever met"
Whatever differences there have
been between Mr.. Roosevelt and
the Californian, whatever doubts
there have been in the public
mind that Mr.. Sinclair would
support the New Deal, lock, stock
and barrel, were completely diSsi-
pated today.
Mr.. Sinclair even went to pains
the interviewing explain
ms purpose in coming here as
simply to assure Mr.. Roosevelt
that he would back him to the
limit. He took pains to notify
neWSpapermen that he was going
to New York later in the evening
to see Postmaster General James
A. Farley. He said:
II want to make his (Far.
iey'S) acquaintance, and assure
MIN Of my loyalty to the New
Deal.
Mr.. Roosevelt was to hold a
press conference at 9:3O a. m. to-
day, and Mr.. Sinclair intimated
that the Executive might discuss
their interview then. Whether
the President went as far in his
enthusiasm for Mr.. Sinclair as
the latter did for the President
was a matter to be settled later.
Coming to Washington
The Californian through his
talk with the correspondents
threw into his apparently casual
conversation several instances
which could and will be inter.
preted as a sign of presidential
favor. Time and again, the Cali.
fornian found an opportunity to
express his admiration for the
President.
Leaving here, Sinclair went di-
rectly to New York for a radio
broadcast and a conference with
Postmaster Farley. After this,
he expected to drop by Washing
ton on the way back to the West
coast to launch his campaign for
election.

Huge Loans Cited
A thorough probe of the South
