Banking, Bonus and Social
Security Bills Stir
Spectators.
PUBLIC is UNMOVED
BY FEAR PSYCHOLOGY
Only Will to Use Immense Credit
Base Is Lacking According
to Sir Josiah Stamp.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 1l-Either di-
rectly or in somewhat remote fash
ion, the question of initiation enters
into much of the discussion of meas
ures now before Congress or in the de-
cisions of courts passing judgment on
acts that have become part of the
national laws in the last two years.
1t is one of the fearsome features
Of the banking bill, it was played upon
in the political strategy of Tuesday
over the soldiers bonus bill, and it
looms before the opponents of the So
cial security act.
The significant corollary of all this
debate on the subject is the absence
of the normal or traditional effects
of imitation. This was mentioned by
Gov. Mariner S. Eccles of the Fed
eral Reserve Board in his testimony
before the House Committee on Bank
ing and Currency. He said: I'VE have
had good deal of talk for a year or
two about initiation. If there was any
real fear of initiation it would be evi-
denced by an increase in equities.
Stocks would be going up instead of
down, high-grade bonds would be go
ing down instead of up, and the inter-
est that would be paid on long-term
municipal, Government and other Sc
curities would be increasing instead Of
decreasing. Likewise, real estate val
ues would be rapidly increasing and
rents would be going up
Market Volume Scars.
With the exception of the squirt in
common stocks in the Spring and
Summer of 1888, there has been no
general movement in them since in
flation talk then developed.
The inflationary implications of the
"greenback" bonus. however, appeared
to be getting under the skin of the
markets toward the end of this week.
Volume rose, with industrials leading,
and, on second thought, that any spur
to business would stimulate freight
traffic, some of the better situated
rails we're dragged along.
The thought of two billions in new
spending money" also put some life
into such consumer commodities as
wheat, cotton, cocoa, rubber, sugar
ana nlQeS. BondS we're indifferent,
seemingly resting their case in the
hope of sustained veto, which would
end all hope of bonus at this ses-
sion.
In bonds, it might be said that the
excess reserves of money were due to
the Government spending program,
and that these reserves were project
ed into the only field where they
would earn a worthwhile return. How
ever, capital has also piled up because
of lack of ordinary employment in
business, and, while the national in
come remains well below that of
earlier years. it is large enough TO
provide substantial annual surplus
for investment. In no phase of the
national economy has the fear of in
f1ation been less evident than in that

NEW YORK, May 11-A boom de-
veloped in New York Stock Exchange
memberships today, when two seats
changed hands for $4,000 each and
another sold at $95 5000.
The advance in seat prices was
attributed partly to the recent expan-
sion of equities trading volumes and
hopes of the commission houses that
a pickup in speculative and invest
ment operations will soon be reflected
in substantial profits for the brokers,
who have for a lonr time been
running 'in the red"

CHEVY CHASE
OPPOSES
DRY BILL
BY A. ]. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor


BY a decisive vote, the Chevy
Chase Citizens Association, at last
nights meeting in the E. V. Brown
School, opposed the Guyer bill
which would return prohibition to
the District of Columbia. The bill
is sponsored by the United Dry
Forces of the District. who are
waging an active campaign for its
Endorsement through publicity
with citizens associations.
President Edward S. Hege said
the vote cast was not an indica-
ton that the association wanted
Chevy Chase to be wet, as oppoSl-
ton by his group before the alco-
holic beverage control board had
resulted in the refusal by the
board of all on sale licenses, and
restricting the off sale to the pres
ent number of four, but the fact
that alcoholic beverages would
continued to be sold in adjacent
wet States must be reckoned with.
The association, by unanimous
vote, approved report from j.
r. Manning, chairman of the
committee on transportation,
criticizing the service of the Con-
necticut Avenue bus line.
The Capital Transit Company
was charged with not cooperating
in maintaining a satisfactory SER
vice, and failure to relieve over
crowding, despite numerous COM
plants; that bus drivers lack
proper training for their duties,
and that the quantity Of equip
ment is inadequate, and APP
parently being diminished.
The association urged that
parking of automobiles be pro-
hibited on Connecticut Avenue.
and other highways traverSed by
bus lines, and requested the police
to give more attention to traffic
regulations to facilitate the move
ment of traffic.
The question of how to obtain
additional tax revenues to meet
increased operating expenses of
the District was discussed by
President Hege and referred to a
special committee to report at
the January meeting. Three plans
are suggested, an increase in the
gasoline tax, weight tax on auto
mobiles in lieu of the personal
property tax, and a personal tax
on all public utilities,

Two Vessels Now Enroute to Aid of Stricken
 Halibuter

As though ramming his 3S-1oot halibut vessel, Dalene, on an un- chartered rock in Lynn Canal yes terday morning was not enough ex- perience for one day, Capt. S.. E- Anderson told an exciting story here this morning of meeting with a belligerent bear and wolf after the wreck. To make matters worse, Capt. Anderson was equipped with a new rifle-but with shells which were too large for the gun.
 Capt. Anderson's "red-letter' day started at 6 o'clock yesterday morn ing when his Dalene struck an un- charted rock between Berner's Bay and Point Sheridan while he was setting halibut gear Heavily laden with 1000 pounds of haiibut and 1000 pounds of black cod the Da- lene soon was flooded with water which poured in through the pilot house, although the hull was not damaged.
 Aboard with him was his wife and a crew assistant, Jan Satire The three immediately left the ship for the nearby shore, taking with them food provisions for two days, because boats rarely come within hailing distance of that locality.
 Bullets Too Large
 Gaining the beach they discov- cred that loose equipment and sup plies aboard the Dalene were be- ginning to float away. Satire took a skiff and rowed out to rescue what he could while Capt. Ander- son decided to go down the beach and pick up what drifted ashore.
 Before leaving his wife he gave her a new gun .30-'06 type rifle Capt.
