Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY H.. N. McGILL,

Editor. McGill Commodity Service, Inc.
Auburndale. Mass.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, March 80
R.-Conmodity prices about-faced
during the closing week Of the month,
registering a substantial increase.
Three major groups paved the way for
a higher price average, namely, in
dustrial and agricultural products
and also livestock. European war
scares, coupled with less favorable
agricultural growing conditions en-
couraged greater speculative activity.
A check-up shows that out of IA indi-
vidual groups, eight advanced, three
remained unchanged, while three
groups continued the downward price
movement which was characteristic of
Industrial prices moved upward fol-
lowing eight consecutive weekly de-
clines. Strength is attributable to
higher quotations for leather, nom
ferrous metals and textiles. Prelimin-
ary figures covering industrial activity
indicate only a limited seasonal con-
traction for the month of March.
Farm Prices Strongest.
Agricultural prices recorded greatest
strength of any one group, which was
due to the psychological effect Of the
dust storm which is heralded as q
forerunner of drouth, crop deteriora-
ton, and another year of subnormal
yields. During the week prices for
wheat, corn, oats, cotton. eggs, sugar,
f1axseed. and butter averaged higher
than the previous week. Declines
were noted in the case of wool and
rye.
Livestock prices regained part of
the reaction recorded a week ago.
The index failed to approach the high
point in the second week of March,
but higher prices for cattle and hogs
more than counteracted weakness in
sheep and lambs, and established the
price level well above last weeks
figure.
Non-ferrous metals recorded a size
able gain under the leadership of
higher prices for lead, silver and tin.
One of the three indices that de-
clined were ferrous metals, which was
due to lower quotations for steel
scrap. The paper and pulp index
declined quite substantially, rejecting
lower quotations for chemical pulp
foreign unbleached and sulphite.
Paint materials also declined
caused by seasonal weakness in two
important items-roSin and turpen-
tine.

By the Associated Press.
Pharmaceutical and wholesale drug
gists Endorsed yesterday, with reser-
vations, the Copeland food and drug
bill before House Interstate Com
merce Subcommittee.
But Arthur Kallet of Consumers
Research, Inc, labeled the measure
AN attempt to protect business
profits at the expense of the con-
sumers"
Passed by the Senate several weeks
ago, the bill would strengthen powers
Of the Secretary of Agriculture over
pure food and drugs, give him author
ity over certain advertising and reg
ulate cosmetics for the first time.
William Bruce Phillips of the Dis
trict of Columbia Pharmaceutical
Association, Endorsed the principle of
the measure, but objected to the re-
quirement for. complete and ade-
quate" directions on drugs, saying
such demand would lead to con-
fusion and most likely to unfortunate
cases Of attempted Standardization.
In a statement, the Federal Whole
sale Druggists Association declared
for the measure, but objected to a
proposed amendment to permit seiz-
ure of more than one sample of goods
suspected Of being grossly defective"

Iieved Accepted.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Final agreement early next week
was seen today as probable after con-
ferees on the banking bill reported
considerable Roadway in composing
differences.
After four days of arguments. 1t was
announced by one Senate conteree
that the House committee had &C
Cepted several important Senate pro-
visions, including a Seven-man Fed
eyal Reserve Board, with the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and the con-
troller of the currency excluded as
ex-officio members in 80 days.
The present board is composed OF
six appointive members and the two
ex-officios eliminated by the Senate
to make the board more 'lnde-
pendent"
Another Senate provision said to
have been accepted would change the
name of the board to Board Of Gov
errors of the Federal Reserve System, u
and give each member the title OF
governor" The chairman and vice
chairman would be selected from the
seven for four-year terms. All seven
would serve l4-year terms on the
board.
Still another would permit director
of Reserve member bank to serve as
director on lone other" bank.
The conferees were reported prac-
tically agreed on the Senate provision

A government spokesman "empha-
sized the inaccuracy' of reports abroad
that Italy had converted ships bought
for scrapping into East African trans
port vessels. Such an act would be in
violation of the purchasing contracts.
1t was officially announced that
Baron Pompeo Aloisi, head of the Ital-
ian delegation during the recent nego-
tiations at Geneva, would lead Italy's
representatives at the tri-power con-
ference in Paris next week. An i'm
preston was prevalent that the ses-

those at Geneva.

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
NEARER Enactment
Senate Committee Amendment
Would Base Earnings
on Investment.

BY the Associated Press.
Though the ship subsidy bill has
moved another notch toward enact
ment, its future still remains uncertain.
The bill. already passed by the
House, was approved by the Senate
Commerce Committee yesterday with
a new amendment This, offered by
Senator Murphy, Democrat. Of Iowa
would permit subsidized shipowners
to base earnings only on their own
investment in a ship, not its total
cost.
The bill substitutes outright sub
sides for the present ocean mail pay
ments. The Government could pay
the difference between American and
foreign costs of ship construction,
provided the difference did not exceed
40 per cent Of the cost. 1t also could
pay a subsidy to make up the differ
ence between costs of American and
foreign crews.
Shipowners could borrow from the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. three
quarters of the money they might
need for their share of the cost of
constructing new ships.

Disagreement over questioning Of

members of the Special House Com

for a time yesterday to break up the

At one point Representative Nc

inquiry.
Patman had to dismiss the witness,

The trouble arose first over a Sug-
| gestion by Patman that correspond
ence taken from Lyons files be printed
for confidential use of the committee
and that Lyons be given a copy and
called back to be asked about it
later on.
There was another dispute about
the introduction of material from the
same files which some committee
members said might be interpreted
unjustly to mean that the Governor
and other high officials of Texas had
been influenced by chain store lobby
lists.
Lyons protested every step of the
way against the materials going into
the record and limited once that he
might take the matter into the courts

When Mclean objected to Patman's
manner of asking questions and
threatened to resign, Patman snapped
back: IF he wants to resign it's all
right with me-"
He said he merely wanted to pick
out information that would show at
tempts in six States, which he did not
name, to block legislation, or. if that
was unsuccessful, to put it in uncon-
stitutional form.
Lyons had told the committee he
would not hesitate to attempt to
amend a measure so that it would be
unconstitutional if he considered it
negotiable and unconscionable and
that he considered such procedure
perfectly ethical"

BY PAUL MALLON.

vt MAY now be disclosed that
political defeat has been found
L by that well-known inventor and
Pal of the people. Huey Long. The
discovery has not yet been formally
announced but is clearly indicated by
the inside story of what happened the
other day in the Mississippi primary.
Senator Long had an entry in the
governorship race, a Mr.. Lester Frank

easy-living, Notwithstanding stable
colors of the lord of Louisiana.

it became apparent that Mr.. Franklin

that Messrs. johnson, White and
Murphree were going to finish one,
two, three. The only reason Mr. Longs
entry was not going to finish last was
that there was a fifth horse in the
race.
Convention Studies Problem.
1t is understood that Huey called a
convention of his brain trust in a
telephone booth at his hotel here to
consider the question Of buying roller
skates for his tagging horse.
Two days later a pair Of Huey's
skates did appear in Mississippi. but,
