SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. IT,
(UP).-Rescue parties assembled
at dawn today to resume the
search for the missing Western
Air Express airliner. As the fog
lifted, the snow storms stopped.
Airport officials said flying condi-
tions would continue to improve
hourly. There was little hope that
the seven occupants were alive.
The plane was so hours overdue,
and some officials said if the plane
crashed into the side of a noun

NEW YORK, March 2l.-Build-
ing, power equipment and farm
equipment. shares advanced in an
irregularly lower stock market to-
day.
Advance in construction and
power shares was attributed to ex-
pectations of great replacement de-
mand in the flood zones. These
issues carried on a rise that started
yesterday and made numerous new
1885 highs.
The remainder of the market,
however, was dull and prices
dropped under lack of buying
power. The foreign situation con-
tinued to be a stumbling block to
trading, operators withdrawing to
the sidelines uncertain of the out
come of weekend conferences over
the German situation.
Flood Stocks" Pushed Up
Among the FLOOD stocks" which
were pushed higher were Atlas

tiles were quiet and showed an

HOGS END WEEK
MOSTLY STEADY
Top Price Shows Increase
of Is Cents to S11.15
Cattle Scarce.

Following q week of irregular
price movements, the pork market
settled down to steady trading
range today at the Indianapolis
Union Stockyards. The top price
paid for good and choice weights,
ranging from $50 to 225 pounds,
was around IS cents higher at
$11.15.
Receipts, as usual were extremely
light for weekend session es-
timated at only 1000. Approx
mately SO head of hogs were held
over from yesterdays session. A
light demand which prevailed for
the various classes offset the small
supply.
The general bulk of 100 to 225
pounds, 'cashed in at $1,000 to $11;
225 to 26O pounds sold at $10.65
to $1,000; 260 to 300 pounds brought
$1O.15 to $1,000; 300 to 400 pounds
held at 1885 to 1895; light kinds.

pounds were salable at So. Is to SO rs.
Packing sows held at $8.75 to 50 So
The cattle market was scarce and
unchanged with hardly enough
stock on hand to develop a trading
range. No early sales were re-
ported. Compared with a week ago,
steers and heifers were largely Is
to 40 cents higher, and COWS steady.
Receipts were 25.
Veslers also continued UNCHANGED
with the bulk of good and choice
Eln6s selling at $3.50 to $3.50. Few

WHEAT VALUES
TURN LOWER ON
WEATHER NEWS
Forecasts of Rain Brings
Moderate Selling in New
Crop Months.

By United Press
CHICAGO, March 21.-Forecasts
for rain in sections of Kansas
prompted moderate selling of new
crop wheat futures today, and
prices ranged lower on the Board OF
Trade.
At the end wheat was unchanged
to off u cent, corn was IS to q
cent lower, and oats were un-
changed to off Is cent
Long liquidation dominated the
trade in wheat as it appeared that
the drought in the Southwest win
ter wheat belt might soon be
broken. At the extreme decline all
wheat futures were at new lows on
the current movement. Pressure
was conferred on the July delivery.
Demand Is Improved
Although demand improved on
the break all rallies encountered
stiff resistance. The volume of
selling was not particularly heavy,
but bullish sentiment was entirely
absent among traders of new crop
futures. A fair class of buying APP
peared in the May delivery which
staged late rally.
All corn futures dyed into new
low ground on the current move
ment. Although commission house
selling appeared to have run it's
course local traders were inclined to
offer corn at the decline while buy
ing against daily indemnities tended
to check the downturn.
May and July oats touched new
lows for the season while Septem-
Der equaled the low price estab-
lished yesterday. There was some
buying of May against sales of July
and September. Price changes in
rye were small and the market dis
played a relatively steady under
tone.

u. S. CONTROL
OF ECONOMIC
SYSTEM URGED
Industrial Progress Council
Submits Report to
President.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 21.-Gov-
eminent control of the economic
system was urged by the Council for
Industrial Progress today as the
only means of preventing COMPETE
tive unbalance" which might lead to
another depression.
A report to President Roosevelt by
Industry Co-ordinator George L.
Berry recommended a broad ma
tional plan of economic sterilization
embracing minimum wages and
maximum hours, establishment of
minimum prices and regulation of
discounts, and formation of a Fed
eral research and planning board.
The council emphasized that it did
not propose that the government
undertake national planning by lad
miniStrative fat" such as under
outlawed MIRA, but through legis-
lative enactment without delegation
of legislative power to the executive
branch of government.
Submits Six Remedies
The committee proposed establish
ment of an independent Federal
planning board to investigate pro-
duction, distribution, prices, wages,
hours and money and credit. The
board would have equal representa-
ton of employer, labor and con-
sumner.
The report offered six specific
remedies for what it considered to
be defects in the present competi-
tive machinery. 1t recommended:
l. Establishment of minimum
wages and maximum hours OF
work, to remove the factor of labor
costs from the competitive field
and to provide economic stability.
2. Establishment of minimum
prices, regulation of discounts, and
in some instances price mainte-
nance, to avoid destructive COM
petition-but without adherence to
any rigid formula.
3. The government should not
countenance combinations in re-
straint of trade, but should allow
trade associations, under well-de-
fined limitations, to control trade
practices.
Study of Unemployment
4. Immediate and thorough study
of the extent of chronological un-
employment, and the rate of
mechanization in industry, the rate
of worker displacement, and the
rate of absorption of displaced
workers; legislation requiring pay
ment of dismissal wages, and estab-
lishment of labor exchanges for
transferring displaced workers to
other employment.
5. Establishment of reasonable
control" of corporations, in order to
substitute public welfare for mere
ly private ends"
6. Regulation to maintain prices
of prison-m made goods at a point
where wage scales will not be
broken down by unfair govern
mental competition.
The committee emphasized that
the program should apply equally
to interstate and interstate COM
merce, remembering that intra-
state transactions, if left without
regulation, will break down any at
tempted regulation in interstate
transactions.
