he had one key to the room where
the paintings we're stored and that a
second had been delivered to Mellon.

stand, Minnigerode produced a letter
from the former head of the Treasury

pictures in question.

ert jackson if there was any other
contractual material regarding the
nairtincs, Minnigerode said there was

 Yet. no indictments have been voted against Huey. and the nat ural conclusion. is that no sufficient evidence has been found.
 There re n aims a nsiierable field for speculation in the realm of political politics.
 What would happen II the Roose- welt Administration severed all re- lations with the Long .organiza- ton in LouiSiana, and vent into the state openly to destroy it?
 One answer is that 1t might be extremely hazardous. because Sena- tor Long certainly knows his poli- tics. The other answer is that MT. Roosevelt also certainly knows his politics.

 Drastic Measures?
 So what? There are two possible approaches.
 The Senate Democratic majority can, if it chooses, undertake to dis cipline him. It can read him out of the party organization in the Sen ate, and clamp down Senate rules to shut off his charges.
 These Democrats know, however, that the Republicans tried that a few years ago with respect to cer- tain western insurgents and got no- where. Except that they gave the insurgents a chance to claim the role of political martyrs.
 Or they can try to fight Huey with his own weapons. They can investigate him.

Higher Production Level
and Steady Increase in
Jobs Stressed.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March l.-Dun &
Bradstreet, in its weekly trade review,
said today there has developed "a
more genuine realization of the sound
ness of basic conditions to support
the expansion toward which all indi-
Gators now point"
The lifting of the production level
of manufacturing plants and grad
ual decrease in the number of un-
employed skilled workers provide un-
questioned proof of an accelerated
rate of activity" the review said.
Prices on most grades of merchan-
disc are considered to have passed
definitely the low points and advances
in many items are scheduled for the
immediate future"
On retail trade the survey reported
most divisions active with no gains of
consequence indicated over the pre-
vious week
"vagaries Of the weather chiefly
were responsible for the checking of
the uptrend -. For the distribu
ton of merchandise In nearly all
lines, however, quicker rate was
reached than when the month opened.
Encouraged by the strength OF
the demand in evidence during the
past two months. retailers now are
making preparations for the largest
Spring selling season in five years,
and many have revised upward their
earlier estimates of merchandise
needs. particularly in the wearing
apparel. furniture, hardware and
electrical appliance divisions"
On wholesale trade. it was reported,
while individual orders are running
larger and trade generally is progress
ing at satisfactory pace. the volume
of business placed in wholesale mar
kets was smaller than that recorded
a week earlier. The lull is viewed
as only temporary - Much of
the Spring buying is yet to be COM
pleted ."
Orders for dry goods and general
textile lines were reported barely even
with the total of the previous week,
but mail orders this week were par
ticularly heavy for dress accessories
and jewelry.
Industrial operations. it was
stated, were lowered slightly dur
ing the week. due to the curtailed
schedules. adopted by steel and textile
mills, and the leSSened activity at
centers producing rubber goods, jew
elry and food products"

no hearings on the constitutionality
of the agricultural adjustment act

have paid their overdue taxes to the
court.
Representatives Of 20 companies
seeking injunctions to prevent collec-
ton of the levy heard the jurist an
nounce yesterday he would give no
decision until the taxes have been paid
up. Pending verdict, they will be
held in escrow by the court.

A processing tax injunction was
granted last month in favor Of John

voked by orders from Washington to
