NEW YORK, July 10. LP-Con-
t~ra-seasonal gains in industrial op-

weekly summary Of business con-

The midsummer season has

usual degree OF intensity. In fact.
p rebound OF industrial operations,
which was contrary to all normal

particularly because Of the broad

rapid pace Of wholesale buying re-
flected dwindling stocks and the
improved outlook for fall.
Deriving benefit from the hot
spell and the largest tourist traf-
Tic since 1880, retail trade in most
parts Of the country exceeded all
comparative totals for a number of
years.
Stocks Of summer goods already
have been reduced to a minimum
for this period, even though many
merchants are not holding special
July c~learances this year.
The volume Of retail sales in
most districts achieved stronger ad-
vantage IN the comparison with

MEAT PACKERS
ARE UNCERTAIN
Attacks on AAA Perplexed
Over Future Course
Of Farm Relief

CHICAGO, July l9.=F- The
giant meat packing industry was In
mid confusion Friday as a result
OF legal attacks on the AAA process
sing tax.
The packers are disturbed by
prospects for the future OF the agri-
cultural adjustment act in the face
Of lower court decisions holding
unconstitutional certain phases OF
the government program Of farm
relief launched with the New Deal.
The so-called big packers. having
assured the government OF willing
iiess to go along with the adjust
nent program, have had no ap-
parent part IN the legal fight against
The AAA. However, they have IN
effect, been put in an embarrassing
position by the action Of professors
Of other commodities and Of smaller
concerns within their own industry.
The perplexing question Is: what
should be done about the payment
OF the S225 per hundredweight hog
processing tax, the backbone OF the
AAA corn-hog program?
II payments are continued, the
packer faces the possibility that the
Get might be held unconstitutional
BY The supreme court. IN that
event, even II the packers them
selves do not want refund OF their
tax money. producers and consum-
er to whom the actual burden has
been passed might Just how re-
stltution Of the tax money would be
sought is a matter Of conjecture.
but packers fear they might be In
tie middle Of a delicate situation
In this respect.

CHILLUM HEIGHTS
URGES ROAD WORK
Completion Of Two Projects and
Bridge and Sewerage Construc-
tion Meeting Topics.

Completion Of two roads and one
bridge, and adequate sewerage construc-
ton for the Northeast section were
asked by the Chillum Heights Citi-
zens' Association at its meeting last
night In the j. r. Keene School.
The group urged that Eastern and
South Dakota avenues be opened. and
that one or more bridges be construct
ed over the railroad tracks between
Twelfth and Eighteenth streets north
east. It was suggested that public
works or other emergency funds be
used.
Coupled with this resolution was
another requesting that Federal relief
funds be allotted to provide adequate
sewerage construction for the section.
Passage of these resolutions was
recommended by the Northeast Con-
ference at its last meeting.
A letter is to be sent to the Com
missioners and the traffic director
suggesting that some means be de-
vised to give citizens of the District a
regional representation on the TRAFFIC
Control Council. It was pointed out
that matters brought before this
council directly affect members Of the
citizens groups, and the latter should
have some way Of expressing their
thought on the matters.
The association went on record as
favoring the return of Capt. Joseph
Morgan to the sixth precinct.

Downtown Parking
Ban Proposed to
Relieve Congestion
Col. Seoane Says Prob
len, Is Engineering One.
Rather Than, Policing.

Elimination of all parking Of auto
mobiles and operation Of street cars
in the downtown congested zone has
been proposed as means Of improv-
ing traffic conditions by Col. c. A.
Seoane, Signal Corps, U. S. A., in a
letter to Commissioner Hazen. The
suggestions will be studied by Dis
trict officials.
Contending solution Of the Districts
traffic problems lies in engineering
rather than in policing operations
Col. Seoane said:
Through parking in the streets In
congested areas, through the existence
of street car tracks In these areas
and through the construction Of load.
ing platforms for street cars, the city
has rendered imperative for traffic
purposes one-third to one-half Of the
area of its streets.
Clearing the streets Of those OBJ
structions would ease the fow Of traf-
fic and provide a ready solution to con-
gestion. It is my opinion that the
rectangle, bounded by Seventh and
Eighteenth streets, Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and K street, should be cleared OF
parked automobiles and street car
tracks.
Street cars on approaching this
area could easily switch to return
tracks, transferring their passengers
