SPEC|ALT|ES LEAD
LATE STOCK RALLY
Many Early Declines Wiped
Out After Dull Mixed

BY VICTOR EUBANK.

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, June 10.-A last-ho
rally gave the stock market a much
needed boost today after dull irregu
larity had prevailed most of the ses-
sion Specialties led the upturn.
Many early declines were Cancelled
or replaced by moderate advances.
The close was rather firm. Transfers
approximated 600 900 shares
Various reasons we're advanced for
the tardy revival in the equities list,
but the general opinion was that the
drying up of volume on small declines
indicated the basic strength of the
market as whole.
Trade news was not too unsatis-
factory. Current steel production
was estimated at 80 per cent of capac-
ity. off one-half OF l per cent from
the preceding week The N. r. A.
''stop-gap" dispute in the Senate wss
not considered especially bearish.
Corn recovered and other grains i'm
proved on a sharp decrease in the
visible wheat supply. Cotton was
laggard. Bonds were steady. FOREIGN
exchanges, due to the closing Of mar
kets abroad for the Whitsuntide holi
day, we're listless.
American Can silares were star per-
formers with gain Of some points

Social Security
Plans Upset By
Court Decision

WASHINGTON, May 7. UP
Sponsors of the administration IS
social security legislation today re-
fused to view the supreme court S
railroad retirement decision as a bar
to general federal pension systems
for industrial workers.
Sen. Robert F.. Wagner (Dem0
New York, sponsor of the pending
security bill and the original NRA
act. predicted that within two years
the minority opinion of Chief Jus
tice Charles Evans Hughes, de-
Tending the railroad act, would be
sustained.
other quarters, however, felt the
decision setting aside the railroad
pension act as unconstitutional mad
raised doubts as to aspects of the
security program and the NRA.
President Roosevelt was repre-
sented as surprised by the broad
Language of the minority decision
His advisers predicted early action
to meet the situation, but its prob
able nature was not disclosed.
Wagner proposed that railroad
workers be included under the Sc
curity bill which would levy federal
taxes on payrolls of millions OF
workers and pay them pensions III
their old age. Rail employees were
omitted from the bill because they
had been covered in the separate
and now overturned, retirement act'

TAXATION COMMITTEE APPROVES
TRANSFER OF AUTOMOBILE TAX
Fayors Turning Funds Over To State Instead Of
Letting Cities And Counties Retain
Them AS AT Present

. SACRAMENTO, May Trans
fer of automoblie taxes from coun-
ties and cities to the state was re-
commended today by the joint le-
gislative revenue and taxation
committee.
The transfer, committee mem
berS agreed, should be in lieu of a
general ad valorem tax on proper
ty, and would form a major part
of finance which disclosed that
program.
Although the committee did not
draw up scale of taxes for motor
vehicles, 1t exhibited interest in
figures prepared by the department
of finance Whic hdisclosed that
$32,000,000 would be raised in two
years by levying a tax Of 2.25 per
cent on the assessed valuation of
automobiles.
AsSemblyman Rodney l.. Turner,
Delano, said he believed a gener-
al state automobile tax, in addi-
ton to the So license fee, would be
fair in view of the fact that coun-
ties will benefit by some $70,000,-
900 when utility property is return
ed to local tax rolls during the next
biennium.
The general idea of transferring
automobile taxes to the state was
approved by vote of 8 to 3.
The committee also voted to
place an so cents a gallon tax on
hard liquor to raise $10000,000, and
increase the beer tax one cent a
gallon to obtain $1,0000O0. 1t voted
against a proposal to enrich the
general fund $8,000.O00 by requir-
ing that highway bond interest
be paid from the gasoline tax fund
Decision to leave the gasoline
tax money alone was reached af-
ter the committee learned that any
diversion might result in the Stat

No COMMENT
BY JOHNSON
ON HIS TALK
Refuses To Enlarge On State
ment Business Leaders Urged
Roosevelt To Be Dictator

MAYFIELD, KY, May 7. W.R) -
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, former
NRA administrator, would not en-
large today on his charge that dur
ing the 1888 monetary crisis cer-
tain business leaders urged Presi-
dent Roosevelt to declare himself
dictator of the United States.
johnson made the sensational
charge in an address before young
Kentucky Democrats in a tobacco
warehouse last night. His speech
was devoted in the main to renew
ed denunciations of the Rev.
Charles E. Coughlin, radio priest
and Sen. Huey P. Long.
1--WE are forgetting, if we have
not discarded, many old counsels
of safety and convenience" he said.
"The only reason we haven't a die
tator right now is that the very
idea was hateful to the President.
In March of 1888, there were many
who urged that step, and, strange
as it now seems, the principal urg-
Cl WClC OOlllC Ol bllC NCly bcll o1io
of big business who recently came
to Washignton and passed resolu-
tions telling the new deal to fold
up and die"
johnson denounced third party
movements in general and, al
though he organized the first fed
eral government attempt to regu-
late business in detail, warned of
the dangers of a well-eStabliShed
bureaucratic system. His secretary
Miss Frances Robinson, had her.
aided the speech as ''the greatest
of his career"
Johnsons attack on Long and
Coughlin was pitched in prepared
copies of his speech on their po-
tentialities as third party leaders.
But Coughlin's reputation of third
party aspirations and his endorse
ment of the Patman inflationary
bonus bill Sunday night, caused
last minute revisions. His attack on
Coughlin was more generalized, and
his address was directed into a sea-
thing attack on the left wing op-
position to the new deal" He
singled out the Patman bill and
Longs share-our-wealth program
for particular attack.
IF, through some freak of fate
as defeat of democracy by a third
party split, the return of the Old
Guard should be threatened, it
woul dbring us as near to revolu-
ton as anything that has hap
pened in our lives" he said.

Seek To Clear Up
District Tangle

Acting on a suggestion offered by
Evan T. Rewes, chairman of tne
irrigation district board of directors,
E. N. d. Hatch, Charles Bratton, F..
H. McIver and Winnie Barry met
with the board in a special, closed
session this morning. The object of
this meeting was to discuss the pos
sibility of a compromise being ef-
fected by which the district offices
of treasurer and assessor collector
elight be more satisfactorily operat-
ed during the pendency of the ac-
ton now before the appellate court
to determine the legality of the re-
cent district election.
No agreement in this matter had
been reached by noon but as all
parties are to meet again this after
noon it is possible that some work.
ing agreement might be settled upon
which would clear the present situa-
ton.

RURAL LAND PROJECT WILL BE
DISCUSSED AT CHAMBER LUNCH

Imperial and the Palo Verde VAL
leys-and our chamber is playing
up this fact as strongly as it can.
I have, in all my letters on land
utilization, stressed the advantages
of Imperial Valley"
Another matter to be touched on
at tomorrow's luncheon meeting
viii lbe the proposed establishment
of an Imperial Valley mountain
recreational center in the nearby
hills. 1t has been stated erroneous
ly that such proposed center is in
tended for the use of families on
relief rolls. Speakers tomorrow will
explain the plan in detail, and that
the camp is intended for Imperial
Valley families who are not on re-
lief, and is designed for those fam
lilies who are self supporting, the
theory being that the establishing
of these families in the nearby
mountain areas, rather than let
the mwander over the coast region
tends to keep them nearer home,
where Imperial Valley can still be
the base of supplies and their
expenditures will thus be made
principally in the cities of the val
ley.
