 New York, June 27.-(UP)- Stocks displayed recuperative pow CTS to-day after another sinking spell early.
 The list was unsettled for a time when Chicago & North Western Railway company announced it was filing petition, to reorganize under section 77 of the bankruptcy law. North Western common stock made a new low at 1M off M. Other rails were down fractions to. more than point
 Near the close silvers swung for ward with U. S. Smelling gaining g points and Cerro De Pasco near ly 2 points. Motor shares met sup port and 50 did liquors. Steel com mon rallied to small net gain. So did American Can, while Allied Chemical, Du Pont and few oth- CTS gained a point or more. Rails joined in the recovery as did utifi- ties.
 Copper shares were fairly active and lower on word that domestic sales of the metal had been made at 8 cents pound, against the former rate of cents. Oil shares were marred by selling in the leading issues, including standard of New Jersey which at one time was down more than a point. American tobacco gained fraction ally, while Leggett & Myers B lost Q point. Case and other farm is- sues were steady to firm. Motor equipments resumed their rise.
 The street was interested in the Governments decision to pay Panama It's canal payments in gold instead of devalued dollars. Pana- ma bonds rose as much as 9 points on the Bond market. other bonds were lower under lead of Railroad issues. U. s. Governments were barely steady.
 No more than academic interest was displayed for the Presidents special message to Congress urg- ing withdrawal by the United States for its consent to be sued on its currency or securities. Such move had been anticipated.
 Tax uncertainty was frightened slightly by reversal of the admin istration in the matter of time for the bill. However, Wall street ex- perts expected little better than irregular markets while the tax measure was in the realm of un- certainty. Traders we're cautious today in placing new commit ments, although not a few invest ors took advantage of reduced prices to pick up stocks. They re- sumed purchases of American Can and their support was noted in American Telephone late in the day. .r
 Spectators took on new com mitments in the silvers as the close neared and the leading issues made new highs for the day. U. s. Smelling extended its rise to more than 2 points.

FIVE NATION AIR DEFENSE PLANS
 ARE DISCUSSED
Envoys of Great Britain and France to Decide
 Fate To-day

Paris. June 27--(UP)-The im- mediate fate of a proposed i've nation air defense league to safe- guard the peace of western Europe was at stake today In conference between Premier Pierre Laval and Anthony Eden, British cabinet en- voy. On instructions from the cab. inet, 1t was learned, Eden sought to persuade Laval that negotiation of an agreement for the league at the earliest possible time would be desira blo, As an inducement, Eden was understood to have suggested coincident negotiation of m east ern European security treaty, which would be linked with a sc- ries of non-aggression treaties among eastern nations including Russia, Germany and the Baltic states.
 Members of League
 The mir defense league would in- clude Britain, France, Belgium, Italy and Germany. Each member would be pledged to attack any other member which made war on one of the five. It would supple ment the Locarno treaty of 1885 which bound the five nations men, toned to defend each other against attack by any signatory of the treaty. The importance of today's negotiations was shown by the fact that the British cabinet met yes. terday to formulate his instruc- tions. Eden went to Rome from Paris. and on his return today was able to discuss problems with knowledge of the views of Benito Mussolini.
 German War Strength
 Col. Jean Fabry. minister of war, gave the chamber of deputies finance committee last night the latest estimate of Germany's land strength. Germany. he said, pos sesses m active army of b50,000. The addition of other units such as the Nazi labor service, he said. gave Germany more than 1000, 900 men excluding reserves. Munitions factories, he said, were working 24 hours q day.

ACTION EXPECTED ON ARMY MEASURE
Congressman Smith Ex- poets Bill to Expedite
 Promotions in Service
Especial to The Dcmocrat)

(SpcClhl NO Auc DcIuOCrut|
 Washington. June 25--The Army promotion bill being considered by inc House Military Affairs commit tee Is expected to be favorably re- ported to tho House by Congress man Joseph Smith of the fifth dis trict in Connecticut. Congressman smith. q member of the military affairs committee, explained that the purpose of this legislation Is to delleve conditions of stagnation in the promotion of officers in the service brought about by conditions resulting from war times
 It has been explained that the most troublesome feature of the present situation is that approxi- mately 4,5O0 officers or approxi- mately 4S per cent of the present promotion list, were originally commissioned in the regular CT temporary forces during the war time period. These officers vary in length of commissioned service by less than two years and fall within narrow age limits. The group, nevertheless extends over a portion of the promotion list which under normal conditions of entry into the service would he occupied by of- ficers whose length of service spread over about 20 years and whose ages would correspondingly vary
 Among other corrective meas ures, the bill being considered would accelerate promotion of of- ficers below the grade of colonel so that these officers will reach the higher grade earlier than under the existing law.

 By Mexican Govt.

New Haven, Conn. June 27.. -- (UP)---Martin H. carmody, St. preme Knight of the Knights of Columbus. has written President Roosevelt protesting the, Govern ment's silence "srnd it's tacit acquie- sence in the persecution" of Cath olics in Mexico.
 Criticized Statement
 The letter criticized the state departments declaration that "our government is without au- thority to determine or affect the situation in Mexico, or any other foreign country,n and lamented the inability of lodge officials to dis cuss the situation personally with the president.
 Tn the light of action taken by our government in other instances of oppression by other govern ments of thear own subjects 1t must be apparent that the state- 'nent of the state department is unwarranted, and that there Is now and has been at all times, ample precedent and Justification for the government of the United States to take positive and definite action concerning the outrages to which the Mexican people have been sub- jected," the letter read in part.
 Renewed Protest
 we hereby renew our protest against the silence of the govern ment of the United States and its tacit acquiescense in the persecu- ton of the Mevican people in the name of government"

 the Measure

 kenney, elated at success in ob- taining consideration of his meas ure after two years of rebuffs, promised other witnesses also would testify. He mentioned John F. Dockweiler, D., Calif., ana Mar tin Sweeney, D. Q.
 Made Three Proposals
 He planned to place three propo- sals, any one of which he estimated would produce revenue of 1,000,- 000,0 a year, before the commit tee. He was optimistic one of them would be accepted. His proposals are:
 l. A lottery under supervision of the Veterans Administration with part of the money devoted to payment of the soldiers bonus.
 2. A lottery board, appointed by the President and working un- der supervision of the secretary of the treasury, all profit to go to the treasury for general expenses.
 8. A lottery from which one- fourth of the profits would go into the federal treasury and three fourths to the state.
 Partial to Third
 Kenny Is partial to the third plan. Any of them, however, he said, would go far toward solving the tax problem.
 "There is 0 lot of talk shout taxation," he said. "And here is Q painless form of taxation. Nobody would be compelled to buy a ticket, and all these bills attempt to do is to stem the flow of money out of this country"
