CITIZENS OPPOSE
GAS TAX DIVERSION
Levy on Cars by Weight In
stead OF Value Also Hit
by Group.

The diversion of the gasoline tax
revenue into the general tax fund was
strongly opposed last night by the
Forest Hills Citizens Association, con-
tending that an increase in automobile
fuel price will follow if this becomes
the means of expending gas levies.
Richard NJ Ham, representative OF
the American Automobile Association,
urged the group to object to the pro-
posal of allowing the gas revenue to
revert into the general fund. Ham
stated. in his address to the group,
meeting at the Ben Murch School,
when it convened for the first time
this year, that the expenditures made
in constructing and maintaining
streets, traffic signals and other traffic
maintenances were appropriated from
this source of revenue.
THE tax on gasoline is made in pro-
portion to the amount needed to meet
these expenditures" he said. IF it
is diverted into the general fund the
tax will be increased to meet other
budgets, thus imposing a burden on
the motoriSt that should come from
other sources"
To Notify d. c. Board.
President L. A. Carruthers, who Is
also a delegate to the National Tax
Convention, urged the association to
approve the measure along with an
other resolution opposing the proposal
to levy automobile tax on the weight
of the car instead of the value. Car
rutherS said, This is another back
ward step in taxation, as it will re-
paying as much as some one who has
been assessed on the value"
These measures were unanimously
approved with the decision to notify
the District Commissioners of the
groups stand.
A resolution requesting a stop sign
at Reno road and Nebraska avenue
as a protection to school children was
favored.

Nine Communists in
Senate, Probers Told

Washington. March IS (P An
assertion by William B. Shearer. big
navy advocate. that nine senators
were recorded III the department Of
justice records with past affiliations
with the Communist party" was read
Friday into the record OF the senate
munitions committee.
Justice department officials prompt
ly denied that any such records ex-
listed.
This climaxed tumultuous session
almost rivaling the one earlier in the
week when Shearer Numbered out a
denunciation of big ship builders who
once had employed him as "propa-
gandist" at the naval limitations con-
ference in Geneva in 1927. and later
broke with him, purportedly in a dis
agreement over pay.
Shearer made no effort to point
out which nine of the senators he
claimed were on the justice depart
ment list. and the committee did not
pursue its questioning to bring this
out.

ASKS NRA EXTENDED
Williams Warns Against Going
Too Far in Testimony Be.

Washington, March l5.-(F>-Ex-
tension Of NRA to permit regulation
OF maximum hours. minimum wages
and generally conceded unfair prac-
tees was proposed to the senate H.
nance committee Thursday by 8. Clay
williams, retiring chairman OF the re-
covery board.
The witness pointed his finger to-
ward the committee while arguing
that minimum wages should be re-
moved from the field Of competition
in industry.
Arguing for extension Of the pres
ent act with some improvements,
Williams said the law must provide
power to force recalcitrant minori-
ties to comply with standards set up
for the public good. But he would
not have regulation. go too far, say
ing:
"The public will benefit, in the long
run from leaving as much as possible
to competition"
The MIRA head added:
If the government IS going further
than to eliminate certain abuses con-
coded by all. then ! don't think there
is any stopping place this side Of
turning the whole thing over to gov
eminent regulation, in which have
no faith
He was the second witness in the
senate finance committees investiga-
ton of NRA's code structure.
"The primary objective, the funda-
mental of MIRA" he said. was the
provision under which wages should
be established as not below a fixed
minimum.
THE effort was to guarantee to the
worker that his wage would not be
driven below a certain minimum liv-
ing wage.
From industry's standpoint thai

said.
In both counties. federal field men
are now at work inspecting lands
which farmers and ranchers wish to
sell. The government purchases are
of the poorest acreages which ex-
perience has shown to be unproduc-

used for park or other purposes, it
is expected the land will be leased to

BOND RECOVERY
 MARKS TRADING
 IN '34 MARKETS
By FRANK MacMILLEN Associated Frees Financial Writer)

NEW YORK, Jan. IA. = Listed bonds experienced the most striking recovery in recent financial history in 1884.
 Prices began to climb early last January, in anticipation of stabili- zation of the gold price at the end of the month. The establishment of the dollar on an international gold bullion standard at 59.06 per cent of it's old parity on January 31 quieted nervousness over the purchasing power of the currency, and prompted a torrent of capital into fixed income securities.
 Bonds climbed steadily until ear ly summer, in some of the most ac- tive trading experienced in this department of the New York stock exchange since the heavy dealings in Liberties in the years right after the war. Many gilt-edged issues reached the highest prices of a generation.
 Value Rose 515 Billion
 Despite some setback from the summer peak levels, the total quot ed value of bonds listed on the New York stock exchange as of December was approximately $39, ,665 ,0O0, ,000, up some $5,50000 900 from a year previous.
 The reaction in late summer was attributed to a partially undigested mass of treasury guaranteed issues overhanging the market, to inau- guration of the silver purchase program which revived imitation fears in some quarters, and to un- easiness over possible demands upon the government likely to re- suit from the severe drought.
 The treasury's September 15 fi- nancing to refund the $1,250 100000 of called Al percent Fourth Liber- ties, was indifferently received. It required the unofficial assurance of the administration that no fur ther devaluation of the dollar was in immediate prospect, and efforts to reconcile the viewpoints of the government and the bankers, to set the bond market again on an up- ward course.
 Best Levels of Year
 These reassuring moves, combin- ed with the continued pressure of the huge excess of bank reserves and institutional funds seeking en- ployment, rallied both corporate and government issues to close to the tegt levels of the year by early winter
 Resumption of the upward move ment was climaxed by the hearty reception rendered the governments requirements for nearly s2000000,- GOO of new and refunded money at the December Is financial period.
