BANK BILL SPURS
INITIATION FORCES
Measure Regarded as Way
to Gain GoaI-Present
Prices DepIored.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

Inflatjonary forces, discontented with
the course Of domestic prices, are seek
ing to board the omnibus banking bill
to reach their objective.
All the leading schools of monetary
thought, mostly dedicated to the cause
Of boosting prices, have been repre-
sented in hearings on the bill before
a House committee and proposed
changes in it to accomplish their
aims.
The proposals range from further
devaluation Of the dollar and adoption
Of a managed currency system to the
issuance Of non interest bearing
Treasury notes in payment Of part or
all of the Federal debt.
From all indications, administration
forces are opposed to such changes
and will stick by the present bill in
its essentials. 1t provides for the use
Of orthodox central bank methods in
the control OF money rates and the
supply of credit to achieve whatever
power over price levels can be exer-
cised through them.
But the persistent imitation bloc in
Congress is expected to turn its at
tention to the banking bill if it comes
up for decisive vote in essentially its
present form.
Leading imitation groups have been
seeking the 1926 average price level
as their immediate objective. Some
of them want the bank bill to direct
the Federal Reserve Board to use all
its powers 10 achieve that goal
Administration spokesmen resisted
efforts to have fixed price goal writ
ten into the bill.
Aside from the doubt they expressed
whether it could be attained by CEN
trail bank action under current condi-
tions, they argued sterilization of
production and employment, rather
than fixed price level, should be the
objective. Gov. Eccles of the Federal
Reserve Board contended that could
not be achieved by monetary action
alone

BUSINESS PUSHES
OBSTACLES ASIDE
Industrial Operations Start
to Rise After LuII of
Recent Weeks.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 2s.-Dun &
Bradstreet in its weekly trade review
declared today business is pushing
aside decisively the impediments which
have been hindering its progress.
The report sees the Nations trade
as taking full advantage of the
normal seasonal rise to provide mo-
mentum which will carry it beyond
the reach of enervating extraneous
influences"
Following the more or less static
conditions of the last four weeks"
the report continued, industrial op-
erations are starting to rise, as prepa-
rations are being completed for new
peaks for the year to be reached in
April, while in distributive branches
the Spring season is off to an auspi-
cious start, with consumer buying CIV
ing assurance of Easter sales sur
passing the high level of a year
ago. ;"
10 tne progress made d0uDtleSS
can be attributed the greater conf
dence now being taken in expansion
and long-term planning, as new
financing finally has shown signs of
revival, with new issues running to
the largest total for any week since
the early part of 1888. -"
with the allure of fresh stocks of
the most appealing merchandise which
has been assembled in many seasons,
shoppers crowded the stores in the
leading centers of distribution, push
ing retail sales in nearly all districts
higher than a week earlier, with the
gain in some instances rising to 20 to
80 per cent.
Retail sales for the week, taking
the country as whole, were higher
by to 10 per cent than for the COM
parative period of 1894. So"
"An actual need for wide variety
Of merchandise is strongly apparent,
and now that the realization is more
generally accepted that no price re-
duction of significance will appear
during the next six months, the re-
lease Of long deferred orders may tax
productive capacity we'll into May"

didate for the nomination, is said by
associates to be intending to support
whoever Is nominated.
In the Gay camp, indignation is
expressed over a reported offer from
the Whitney forces to give Gay the
vice presidency, with the understand
ing that Whitney would withdraw
next year. Whitney forces do not
admit such an offer was made.
Persons close to the committee say
the members have been amazed at
the Nationwide interest.
Should Whitney not be nominated
on April 8 for the May 10 election,
his supporters may run him indie
pendently.
Gay has announced he will accept
the committees decision. Whitney
has declined to set forth his attitude.

WHITNEY FRIENDS
STAGE CAMPAIGN
Urge Exchange Re.eIection
Committee Is Reported
Favoring Gay.
BY THOMAS e. FLANAGAN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, March 29.-The con-
troversy over who shall head the New
York Stock Exchange after Richard
Whitney's current term appears to
have reached white heat this week,
with the "re-elect Whitney" forces
trying to convince the Nominating
Committee Of their numerical strength.
1t is being banded about Wall
Street as sort Of open secret that
the Nominating Committee has all
but decided to name Charles r. Gay
for the presidency on April 8.
Little was heard of the stick-by-
Whitney movement until the COM
mittee's reported attitude became a
chief topic of conversation. Since
then, his supporters have gone to
work with vigor.
Carries Whitney Banner.
Usually reliable sources reported
that the Whitney banner is being car
ried by Herbert L. Wellington. dy-
manic. popular and youngish men,
ber of the board of governors and
head of the firm of H. L. Wellington
& Co., with offices in New York and
Pittsburgh.
Another Whitney worker was said
30 be Bertrand l. Taylor, jr., also
youngish, handsome and known as
one Of Wall Streets best-dressed men.
A partner in the former firm Of Logan
& Bryan. with several Offices on the
Pacific Coast, he now heads the COM
paratively new Wall Street firm of
Taylor & Delany.
Arthur F. Broderick of J. S. Bache
& Co., with offices in several leading
cities, was said to be another.
The Gay backing appears to come
chiefly from a number Of the large
commission houses, which have long
felt that the exchange was too much
dominated by the specialists and floor
traders.
Known TO Favor Gay.
E. A. Pierce, peppery, silver haired
chief Of E. A. Pierce l. Co., is among
those known to be agitating for
change. He has not publicly in

gold bloc is held 10 be fraught with
important consequences.
Some Of the leading advocates of a
managed dollar have been insisting
the European gold bloc could not
hold out under the pressure of defia-
ton against the deprecated dollar and
the British pound.
Now, with the belga to be devalued,
they are waiting for confirmation Ok
their prophecies in the belief it may
precipitate decisions on monetary
questions.
If retreat by the gold bloc starts
another round of currency deprecia-
ton, they see chance for further
revaluation of the dollar to prevent a
fall in prices in the United States and
Of pushing their cause for a managed
currency modelled after England's.

Glimpses of Stage Folk
in Washington.

WE FOUND Ben Blue exactly where
W we'd left him about year ago
stretched out on dressing room
couch at Loew's Fox. He Immediately
offered assurance, however. that he'd
not been reclining there between en-
gagments on tn Fox stage, but had in
the interim journeyed to Florida,
wrestled unsuccessfully with mys-
terious and fleeting element known as
race horse form, and returned with the
intention of doing a few weeks
vaudeville.
Mr.. Blue, as you are perhaps aware,
is native Of Washington and one Of
the first young men ever to don a cap
and striped sweater and. to the tune
of jingling bells in the orchestra pit,
put on the famous skating dance"
His early rise to fame paralleled the
ascension of that now ancient but still
honorable terpischorean trick. When
practically everybody had learned to
wiggle feet la Lake Placid. he parted
company with the skate dance and
became comedian.
From that turning point doubtless
dates his gently morose outlook on the
world in general Comics are notori-
ously pessimistic fellows off stage, a
state Of mind variously explained by
the desire to relax from being 50
darned funny all the time, or the urge
to show they know the world really is
not as gay place as their clowning
would make it appear to be.
Mr.. Blue, for example, was lugubri-
ously contemplating his oversize shoes
and the poor estate of show business
when we dropped in to see him yes
terday. His small talk was cordial and
pleasant, but when conversation
veered to affairs Of stage and screen
he found no cause for cheerfulness.
After due reflection he has, he said,
formed one axiom which he passes on
to the young hopefuls who besiege him
for advice. The best way to get on In
show business is to stay out Of it,
particularly If you want to be
vaudeville performer"
For a young man who has been In
the headline class, where the pickings
are not poor. 10 these many years,
such an attitude may seem equivocal,
but Mr.. Blue explains that even the
headliners feel they have built up to
a big letdown. There is no more
incentive, he claims, for the circus
performer, or carnival act or Broad
