ILLNESS HALTS
FIGHT FOR BOY

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The i'm
pending pattie over the custody
of little eight-year-old Carroll Liv-
ingston Wainwright, jr., who ran
away from his home in Bermuda
several weeks ago, has been post
poned indefinitely by the serious
illness of Lady Hector MacNeal,
the boys mother.
Lady MacNeal arrived in New
York from Bermuda, but was so
i'll that she was removed from
the liner on a stretcher and taken
in an ambulance to her hotel.
Her little son is still with his
wealthy grandmother, and will
not be taken to see his mother
unless he specifically asks to, it
was said by members of the fam
lily.
Little Carroll slowed away on a
boat to reach New York, saying
that he wanted to live in the
United States rather than in Der.
muda with his mother.

IN SENATE
DEMAND LEVY
.TOPAY COST
Republicans Planning Fight
For Long-Term Bond to
Finance Program

The specter Of increased Fed
eral taxation was injected into
Senate consideration of President
Roosevelt's 1880 million dollars
work relief bill today with a
group of Republicans demanding
the new Administration now pro-
pose enough new taxes to pay
for the cost of the program.
A spokesman for the group said
they would seek to insert a pro-
vision in the bill, financing it
through a long-term bond issue
which would be amortized through
new taxes. Details were withheld
pending decision on what new
taxes should be imposed.
Waits in Committee
The bill meanwhile rested in
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee as the leaders continued to
search for ways of discarding the
McCarran amendment, which or
dered the Government to pay pre-
vailing wage rates on all relief
projects.
The spokesman for this Republi.
can group said:
1--WE shall try to halt the
Administrators effort to pile
up the greatest national debt in
the history of any nation, with
out it making any effort to
provide revenue for its retire
ment. We propose to learn how
much revenue would be needed
to amortize this 1880 million
dollars over thirty years, the
usual period for long term Gov
eminent obligations and then
demand the Administration in
Sert a provision in this bill to
raise that amount Of revenue.
BILL PURE IMITATION
''--his bill is pure initiation.
IL is the cOStlieSt form of in
.flatiOn, since it initiates credit
through the issuance of tax
exempt, interest-bearing bonds,
on which the Government must
pay out huge sums annually in
interest. And the Government
does this without providing any
means for retiring these bonds"
This Republican declared the
Administration was fin an Gins
most of its relief program, mount
ing into billions of dollars, by
issuing 60-day, 90-day, six-month
and nine-month short term bills
at low interest rates.
Cost Estimated
Ultimately, he said, the whole
debt must be refunded in long
term obligations with much
higher interest rate, and added:
"When the budget is bal
anced, this bill will cost the
taxpayers $268,OOO,OOO a year
at least for 30 years. We pro-
pose to find out why the Ad-
ministratiOn doesn't do it now"
There was considerable Specu-
lation over the form new taxes
might take. Lower exemptions
and creaSes in the upper
brackets of income taxes have
been suggested. A moderate sales
tax also has been considered.

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, May 25.-Distressed
selling by holders of May delivery con-
tracts led to a general tumble of grain
values today, breaking numerous low
price records for the season.
With but a few days more left be-
fore the expiring of the current
months contracts May corn and May
oats bore the brunt of the selling, and
each suffered an overnight maximum
drop of cents bushel, taking May
corn to about cents below high
points reached earlier in the week. In
some quarters, the gold crisis in
France was regarded as having had
much to do with emphasizing grain
market unsettlement.
Wheat closed nervous, 7sa1A under
yesterdays finish, July, 87ssa87l2;
corn, %a1l2 down, July, 785sa78& /;
oats unchanged to a setback of 2
cents, and provisions unchanged to
5 cents higher.
Many stop-loss orders were forced
into execution by the general fall of
grain values. kilograms that many
commission houses sent out last night
calling for increased margins from
customers, owing to yesterdays sharp
downturns of prices here, were largely
responsible for a furry of hquidating
sales that took place at the opening
in all the grain pits. Weakness of
the Liverpool wheat market today,
with improved weather for domestic
crops, served as an additional bearish
factor.
Pressure to relinquiSh speculative
ownership of grains found relatively
little buying power in evidence. Liver
pool cables said weakness of wheat
prices there was associated with better
crop reports from the United States
and with weakness in Chicago yes
terday. Market experts here said clear
and warm weather for the entire do
meStic grain belt was looked upon as
unusually auspicious for the crop out
look as whole
Comparative strength which at one
stage was shown today by the May
delivery of corn helped to bring about
brief rallies of all grains, but this be-
havior of May corn proved to be only
transient, and was attributed to spread
dealings between May and other
months
Provisions ruled firm, owing to pro-
nounced shortage of hog supplies.

Moderate Selling Reflects
Nervousness Over Fate

What Stocks Did.
BY FRANK MACMILLEN,

NEW YORK, May 25.-Currency
clouds drifted across the financial no.
rizon today bringing moderate selling
into the share market from investors
and traders nervous over the fate of
Europe's gold bloc,
Brokers ascribed Wall Streets un-
rest principally to the hoist in the

Of Thursdays lift from 2l2 to 3 per

increased tension arising from the
continued flight of capital from
France.
Financial opinion was sharply di-
vided on the possible market effect
which collapse Of the gold bloc might
bring. Some said it could produce
a passing wave of share liquidation.
Others declared breakdown of the
gold bloc would clear the decks for
stabilization of currencies and thus
stimulate world trade revival.
Usual Adjustments Seen.

gold bloc doubts were believed to have

scattering of sales from investors who
felt that domestic trade visibility re-
manned poor.

Grams report of automobile produc-
ton which disclosed a sharp increase
for the week ended May 25. The esti-
mate stood at 100,7 ,705 units compared
with 89,760 in the preceding week.
The imminence of the slack season
for the industry and the fact that the
weeks rise resulted largely from the
resumption of operations by Chevro-

ference, analysts said.
