COTTON PRICES
EASE FURTHER

NEW YORK, May 20 G.N.s).
The cotton market continued to
ease in later dealings as increased
southern selling in the distant po-
sttions depressed the market.
The trade bought the near
months on price fixing and some
commission house purchasing de-
veloped on the strength of rains
OF flood proportions which struck
the southwest over the weekend.
Liverpool, the Continent and To-
Gals were also buyers. Selling was
coming principally from japanese,
the South and New Orleans. Spot
houses switched and also began to
Iquidate.
Towards noon the old crop
months continued lower but the
distant months showed signs of
improvement. July was quoted at
1900, off 4; october, 1872, off 2;
December, 11.87, off 2, and March,
1876, off 1 point.

SHORTCOVER|NG
BOOSTS CORN

CHICAGO, May 20 G.N.s).
Heavy short covering in May
corn, the price advancing nearly
&c, featured early dealings in
grains today. The uptrend was
attributed to a tight statistical
position in the May delivery due
to the scarcity of supplies.
Deferred corn options averaged
moderately higher, while wheat
was inclined to lag due to bear
iSh weathe reports.
May corn hit 90c for a gain of
1Ac over Saturday and came
within sac of the seasons high.
The market reacted from the top,
however, being 11sc higher around
89?c at mid-session.
At mid-session wheat was I'm,
changed to 3sc off, corn u to
11sc up, oats 1s to 14c up and rye
NC down to 12c up.

allowed to take its course for a
while, with a little profit taking
and a little support. When it
settles back to about the top of
the preceding one-day push-up,
it is given another whirl.
If those who are running the
show presumably with the Gov.
ernment's tacit consent) con-
tinue to operate as in the recent
past, the following will be about
the picture of the near future:
The average of the industrialS
will gradually sag back to about
liz during the next few days.
Then, perhaps on a Thursday or
Friday, it will be run up again
under the leadership of some par.
ticular group. Then another
period of fiddling and digestion"
would ensue.
Note that this is not a predic.
ton. My statement is preceded
by an If" The course suggested
is merely a possibility.
It will be significant, however,
if something like this does not
develop. If the decline of Friday
and Saturday, after a little at
tempt at rallying today, should
be resumed Tuesday, and the in
dustrials should fall so as to close
below 112, the recent pattern
would be broken. Then it would
become likely that q head and
shoulders" elimination of the
intermediate move which began
in March, is developing.
But if the stock market is
being "rigged" with the Admin
istratiOn's consent las the silver
and cotton and Government
bond markets have been), it is
reasonably certain that support
will be forthcoming, and that
no collapse will be allowed.
At this time of declining in
dustrial activity and waning pop
ularity of the New Deal, neither
Mr.. Roosevelt nor Mr.. Kennedy
would want a declining stock
market, But neither would they
want a runaway market, for that
would be too soon to help their
political game. They will want a
bull market next summer when
it would help the New Dealers
to win the election.
It is one of the troubles o!
political control over business ana
banking that it carries with 1t
control over investment ana
speculation. If the New Dealers
let the public get drawn into
premature "bull market" they Will
suffer the public's wrath When
the crash finally comes, Tor tney
will be held responsible.
NV advice is to hold your
good industrial stocks. Infla-
ton is coming, but I doubt II
"they" are going to get the
nublic" in at these prices. THAT
would seem almost too fan
tastic, even for the New Deal.)
So don't run after stocks at
rising prices.
Remember: If the New Dealers
don't get the public into stocks,
they will turn and bite the STOCK
market. Their only interest is IN
voters.

ROOSE:VELT'S
SPEECH SPURS
ON CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, April 30. UP
President Roosevelt's pronounce
ment of a minimum legislative pro-
gram today spurred his leaders in
congress to press for action by lag
gard committees.
Speaker Joseph w. Byrnes of the
house was confident the program
as outlined by the President in his
"fireside chat" could be enacted by
June Is, but Joseph T. Robinson,
senate majority leader, declared the
senate must abandon dilatory tao
tics if the legislation is to be
passed.
The administration was cheered
by both public and legislative re-
sponse to the Presidents outline
of basic measures on which he ex-
poets congress to act.
Between 500 and 600 kilograms
were received at the White House
in the first hours after the address.
Comment of Democratic senators
and congressman was favorable.
Some Republican leaders reserved
opinion but others were only crit
ical.
Robinson predicted congres S
would have to remain in session
until late in July unless better CO.
operation for dealing with these
measures can be arranged"
He pointed out that extension of
NRA, the utilities bill social secu-
rity legislation and transportation
regulation on which the President
demanded action-were controver-
sial subjects.
ut will be necessary for the sen-
ate to speed UP if the program
made clear in the Presidents radio
speech is carried out" he said.
The White House was unable to
estimate how the response to the
Presidents address was divided
among favorable and unfavorable
opinions, but pointed out some ad-
verse comment always was received.

USING GOOD SENSE

That racial differences do not present
insurmountable obstacles is indicated by
the following article appearing in The
Light of Publicity q worthy and we'll
conducted little paper published weekly
by a group Of Ell CenTo's Negro. resi-
dents
In what it says relative to the school
situation in FL CentrO. we can concur
most heartily. Guy Weakley, as super
intendent of the city schools has shown
that he believes his job to be just what
his title implies, the head of all the
schools and that all must be considered
if the school system is to function as it
should.
If FL Centro has a Negro Problem"
insofar as its schools are concerned, it
is proving to be one that offers and is
meeting simple solution by good sense,
tact and consideration on the parts of
Negroes and whites
Superintendent Weakley in a very
fine way is completing his second year as
superintendent of the city schools. 1t is
befitting that note be taken of his SER
vices here and congratulations extended
to him" the article states.
"Mr Weakley came to Ell Centre like
so many people from elsewhere with fine
ideals and an intention to serve all the
people. Unlike many of them though he
has so far maintained those ideals. He
has not allowed himself to become af-
fected by local traditions and prejudices
but has proved himself real leader.
"In dealing with the East Side school
he has showed the same interest, care,
and progressivness as he has in dealing
with the other city schools. Professor
Prince is principal in the city system
and he so regards him. He is called into
all conferences, and given the identical
procedure with others. The teachers IN
the East Side school system are part Of
the El Centro school system and SO con-
sidered by him. The facilities of the dis
trict are at their disposal and it IS his
desire that they measure up with the
others. A peep into the recent gather
ing of the teachers of the city at the
Barbara Worth hotel will give an idea
of what we have in mind. The entire
teaching force was present, distributed
throughout the dining room. On the pro-
gram appeared Mrs. CulbersOn and Miss
Curry in violin duet; Miss Octavia
Payne, piano solo; Miss Payne also ac-
companied the community singing; Prln-
cipal Prince had one of the addresses OF
the evening. All this was done, no one
was hurt, no black rubbed off, no one
felt to intrude but instead the East Side
teachers come back to their work with
heads up, intellect alert, and firm de-
sire to cope with their peculiar problems
and make the youths intrusted to them
worthy of any and all honors that may
come their way.

fair minded school board and it is our
belief that El Centro will lead the way

SINCLAIR NOT
IN FAVOR Of
THIRD PARTY

LOS ANGELES, April 29 UP) -
Upton Sinclair today proposed a
political miracle" to further his
lend poverty" movement in the
United States, and urged his fol-
lowers to adopt the Democratic
party nationally as the practical
way of gaining power"
Eve believe we have proved the
wisest way to proceed is by form
ing an educational or propaganda
society,"" Sinclair told a group of
Epic" leaders. 1T is cheaper and
easier to call on the people to en-
ter one of the old parties and take
possession of it at the primaries
than to try to form a new party"
The gray-haired author told the
group, called to adopt a program
for an Epic" party convention
next month that he will never
again seek public office" but will
devote his energies to furthering
the principles of the Epic" move
ment.
He said many people vote the
Democratic or Republican ticket
because their grandparents voted
it." and suggested that the Epic"
movement would hold the balance
of power" if it adopts" one party.
Workers and unemployed mid
ole classes must combine in solid
block" he said. They must agree
upon a program and capture the
Democratic party. We do not have
to pay attention to--old-line lead
ers. We will elect candidates
whom we would vote for in a third
party.
