STOCK MARKET
RISES IN SLOW
DEALINGS
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, June II QN.SJ.
The complexion Of the stock mar
ket showed little change in later
dealings today, as trading pro-
ceeded at a slow pace and the
general list ruled moderately
higher.
There was scattered profit TAX
ing in some sections, particularly
in the steels, but sentiment con-
tinued bullish in the light Of ad-
ditional favorable business news,
the tonic effect of the bonus dis
tribution and Wall Street expecta-
tions that Congress will adjourn
within the next week or so.
Schenley maintained its position

Steel Rate Up Point,
Best i'm 6 Years

NEW YORK, June 17.-Steel
makers are currently more con-
cerned with the problem Of how
much tonnage they should take
at prevailing quotations than
with the usual search for more
business, according to the Iron
Age summary. Enough orders
have already been booked to fill
rolling schedules for the remain
der of June and flat-rolled capac-
ity is taken care Of well into July.
The summary adds:
"When price increases were
announced late last month, 1t
was intended that tonnage
taken at current quotations
should be shipped by the end
Of the quarter. This would have
made the higher figures effec-
tive on July 1. The present stu
alton indicates that while the
new prices will be applied to
new orders placed after that
date, little buying will be neceS-
sary until some time in August
and mills will be occupied dur
ing the interim with releases
against old low.priced orders"
The rush to cover at old prices
is taxing active ingot capacity to
the utmost. and production is up
another point this week to II per
cent of capacity, the summary
says. This is the highest level in
more than six years and Is a full
10 points above the peak reached
The Washington times., 1936-06-17

when prices were last advanced in
June, 1884. Higher operations are
reported this week at Pittsburgh,
Philadelphia, Youngstown, Buf.
falo. Wheeling and st. Louis.
Price increases have brought
life to the railroad market. Ad-
vances of 50 a ton on tie plates
and So on track spikes and bolts
will become effective August I,
but the carriers will be given until
September 80 to take shimpments
of material ordered at the old
figures. Rails are scheduled to
be marked UP for fourth-quarter
delivery.
Buyers of construction steel for
Identified projects are now being
given only 80 days after bids are
taken in which to place their Or
ders. Under the code a 60-day in
terval was allowed, but as hereto
fore specifications may be placed
over the life of the job. This
factor is accelerating demand for
plates, shapes and reinforcing
bars.
The weeks fabricated structural
steel awards amount to 25,400 tons
compared with $4,000 tons in the
previous period. New projects
have decreased from $4,000 tons
to 18,450 tons. Total awards Of
construction steel reported to The
Iron Age this year have amounted
to 100000 tons, compared with
$685. tons in the corresponding
1885 period, an increase Of SO per
cent.

he set in motion have achieved their full purpose, or that they have been free from defects of ad- ministration. These things are inc herent in any great national pro- gram. But no matter what the captious may say about the ale legged mistakes of the government ct Washington, 1t cannot truth fully be asserted that 1t is in the hands of selfish interests, or that any ulterior purpose dictates its policies. We have placed the gov- ernment of the United States at the service of the people. We have shifted the money center cf America from Wall Street to Washington, and, if I mistake not the temper of our people, they ape prove of the change.
 Who's Dissatisfied?
 Who Is 1t then that is dissatis. fled with the work of the admin istration? Not those who have been aided by the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Not those whose farms have been saved by the Farm Credit Administration. Not those who have been able to re. finance their mortgages at Q les- Sened rate of interest through the activities of the Federal Hous- ing Administration. Not those whose homes have been saved by the Home Owners Loan Corpora ton. Not the stockholders or cred- itorS of banks, insurance compa- nies, and railroads that have been rescued by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Not those who have received aid or found work. through the Public Works Administration or the Works Progress Administration. Not the one million two hundred and fifty thousand boys who were taken from idleness and the streets and given opportunity and training in the Civilian Conservation Corps. Not the fifty.two million Amer ican citizens whose deposits in the banks of the country have been made secure by the act creating Federal deposit insurance. Not the laboring groups in whose interest the National Recovery Adminis- tration established collective bar- gaining, improved working condi- tions, outlawed the sweatshop, abolished child labor, and gave to industry an opportunity for cor1- structive leadership.
 American Prestige
 Not those whose humanitarian instincts approve of the Social Security Act, and It's provisions for old age insurance and grants to States for widows pensions, child welfare, and public health service. Not those who recognized the need of abolishing holding companies formerly connected with the banks of our country which made 1t possible for reckless or corrupt financiers to speculate with the savings of depositors or

political conventions their effort to prevent MT. Roosevelt's reelection. They should be heard from shortly after the democrats adjourn next month. Silence would indicate sur- render. al,
 Borah's position is less definite. He is Q candidate for republican Presidential nomination. Tn that capacity he challenged Landon and all others to meet him in Presiden- tial primary contests. Borah has told voters in half dozen states that the election of uninstructed convention delegates or delegations pledged to "favorite son" candidates is a method of disenfranchisement. He argued that the regular or Old Guard bosses sought large blocks of uninstructed or "favorite son" dele- gates SO that they might manipu- late, the convention to suit their own purposes.
 Landon Declines Challenge
 Landon refused to meet Borah. Frank Knox of Chicago and Borah contested the Illinois primary but the result was indecisive. Borah already has lost his fight to com- pei Presidential aspirants to go be- fore primary voters with their rec ords and their stories.
 What Borah will do if he both fails to obtain the nomination and is unable to force adoption of lib- eral republican platform is not known. In early April he was asked point blank what he intended to do if an Old Guard candidate were nominated.
 T shall be entirely free to make up my mind then" Borah replied. T reserve my right to look over the convention job when 1t is done. and the man."
 Borah would be even less likely than Smith to join the opposition. Although he abh0rred Hoover ad- ministration policies, Borah re- fused in 1882 to join other Progress sive republicans in campaigning against the republican nominee. If things do not please him in Cleve- land next month, Borah probably will return to Idaho to interest him. self exclusively in his campaign for reelection to the senate.

doctrine of the Good Neighbor, which has restored a feeling of friendliness amongst the nations on this side of the Atlantic. Not those who realize that the Amer ican dollar is the soundest money unit on earth; and that there is a larger metallic reserve behind every Government issue than at any previous time in our history. Not those who are proud of the fact that the credit of our coun- try stands higher than that of any other nation on earth. Not the great masses of the people who see evidences of increasing prosperity upon every hand.
 Americans All
 Who, then, I repeat, are diSsat. isfied. No doubt thwarted polit- ical ambitions, unrelenting par- tiSanship and ultra-c conservatism account for the major portion of the forces arrayed against us. These things we understand and accept. There are, however, other and far more sinister groups we must take into account. They think primarily in terms of dol- lars, or the power that dollars rep- resent, and feel little concern for social measures that sound in terms of humanity. I am pug zled by the thought processes of some of these influential and dis- gruntled citizens who, for so many

(Continued from Page I) voices only when the danger pass ed," he said, "are in no position to criticize either the policies, the purposes, or the achievements of the administration, and these who have no better program to offer should learn the grace of silence.
 NO matter what the captious may say about the alleged mistakes of the government at Washington, 1t cannot truthfulIy be asserted that it is in the hands of selfish inter- ests, or that any ulterior purpose dictates It's policies.

selves, were being depleted to the vanishing point. The morale Of our people had been profoundly shaken: and there were repeated outbursts of violence in large sec. tions of our country previously known as amongst the most or" derly and dependable in our na- ton. Upon every hand there were portents of evil which no respor1- Sible statesman dared disregard.
 I do not pause to assess the re- sponsibility for these conditions, or attempt to trace their source. The essential fact is that they actually existed and were be- uueathed by the outgoing admin istration to Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Did he lack vision? Did he lack resourcefulness? Did he lack courage? Did he lack de. yotion to the public service? Did he lack the gift of leadership, or the capacity to guide In 8 great national emergency? The united voice of America testifies to the contrary.
 Ills immediate problem had to do with the financial and banking crisis. On Monday, March 6, l9SS' he issued his first proclamation which suspended the operation or all of our banking institutions throughout the country, prevent- ed their destruction and afforded an opportunity for rehabilitation. That dramatic and drastic exer" else of Presidential power was a superb act of courageous states" manship-and 1t saved the nation.
 Swift Actions
 From that date to the 3ist day of January, 1884, the President, acting in close cooperation with Q patriotic Congress, approved or Q series of Acts and promulgated supporting Executive orders that effected Q fundamental change m the financial and monetary struc- ture of our country. Gold and gold bullion were swept into the Treas. ury of the United States; gold certificates were placed where they were readily within the con- troi of the Government; foreign exchange was regulated; banks were progressively reopened; gold hoarding was brought under con- trol; parity was rigidly main tained; and Q complete transition was effected from the discredited Rold.coin standard to Q gold. bullion standard, with the content of the dollar fixed at an endCr" able amount.
 Inspiring Story
 These measures tell the inspir- ing story of . troubled nation finding its way successfully out Of financial chaos. Nor was the President content to rest with these achievements. He realized, even if his critics did not, the ex- tent of the task involved in the effort to restore the broken life Of America. The need was imper. ative and he acted with swi1tness and decision.
 The President would. be the last to assert that all of the agencies

ROOSEVELT RAN
 AHEAD OF BORAH

Portland, Ore, May 18-tUP)-- Despite Q preponderant republican registration In Oregon, president Roosevelt today held slight lead over Senator William E. Borah of Idaho in comparative votes counted in yesterdays primary. Tabulations from 62i of Oregon's 1927 precincts gave Borah 15,430 votes; Roosevelt l6,016. Both candidates were un- opposed on their respective ballots. Benton county gave considerable write-in vote for president on the 6. o. D. ticket to Senator Frederick Steiwer of oregon.
 Senator Charles L. McNary, 1t was conceded today, had been renoni- mated by the republicans by Q more than q four to one margin over his two opponents.
 McNary will oppose Q Townsend ite in the November elections, as Willis s. Mahoney, Klamath Falls mayor and John A.

 Waterbury MOnored
 Waterbury was singularly honored at the convention as 1t opened here last night. Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor and Alderman Peter Grimm were named honorary vice. presidents of the convention. Dennis J. Clancy and John J. How ard were elected honorary secretar- ies of the session. Attorney Frank Healey and John A. Bennett repre- sented Waterbury on the creden- tials committee and worked into the early hours of this morning lis- tening to arguments of groups from five towns of Connecticut. They will make their report later this morn- ing to the full convention in the Arena.
 Local Delegates Busy
 Ex-Mayor Francis P. Guilfoile and Senator Joseph II. Lawlor of Waterbury sat in late last night and early this morning at session of the committee on resolutions. Also on the committee John Kiernan of Naugatuck. They reported that their temporary platform for presenta- ton to the convention later this morning will provide for the en- dorsement of President RooSevelt'S administration and call for the elimination of the two-thirdS rule now necessary at national conven- tions when presidential nominations are made.
 Other Locals Named
 To the committee on rules from Waterbury were named Mrs. Mary Bosco and Alderman Frank x. Ber- gen of Waterbury and State Repre- sentative William McDermott of Naugatuck.
 Alderman Charles P. Sciullo and State Representative Daniel J. Mahaney were named from Water bury on the committee on perTna- nent organization of the state con- vention. Daniel B. Conner of Pros- pect was similarly honored. SealeI of Weights and Measures William H. Dunlavey and Harry Leary were named assistant sergeant at arms of the convention, representing Wa terbury.
 Convention Called
 State Chairman Smith called the convention to order at e:36 o'clock last night. Mayor John W. Murphy of New Haven delivered the ad. dress of welcome. He was followed by Governor Wilbur L. Gross. Tele- grams were read from Postmaster denerai James A. Farley end v. s Senator Augustine Lonersaa. State Chairman smith introduced U. 6 Senator Francis T. MaIoney who. iil
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-05-16

The republican party offers for- mer President Hoover and Sen. VII. liam E. Borah. Other politically poe tent republicans and democrats are, nevertheless, no more than proHni. fent members of their respective parties.
 A Presidents control over his own party is sufAcient to insure his re- nomination. Mir. Roosevelt will be the democratic nominee by formal action of the philadelphia conven. ton on June 26 or June 26.
 It is 6 paradox of politics that neither MT. Hoover nor Senator Bo. rah is likely to be chosen by the re- publicans who meet in Cleveland June 9. The g.op. choice probably will be made from among the group of merely prominent men of whom Gov. Ali M. Landon of Kansas, Sen. Arthur H. Vandenbcrg of Michigan. and Sen. Frederick Steiwer, of Ore- Eon, are excellent and available ex- amples. The advantage lies heavily with Landon.
 Borah Prospective Bolter
 The prospective bolters are Smith and Borah. The former has public ly stated the alternatives he must confront when MT. Roosevelt is re- nominated. Smith said he would be compelled either ito take Q walk" or put on the mantle of hypocrisy. Smith will walk. The question in- teresting to politicians is with whom he will travel and to what destina- ton.
 smith has been elected a Tam many delegate to the Democratic National Convention. It is under stood that his friends are suggest ing that he not attend. A conven- ton packed with New Deal enthusi- asts probably would give the one time democratic idol a booed rec ception which would tarnish his memory of earlier political tri- umphS.
 But whether Smith goes to the convention and gives physical evi- dence of his bolt by striding from the chamber or merely refuses to appear, he must decide quickly thereafter to fight or sulk. If Smith decides to fight he may raise the standard of conservative demo- cracy and lead a third party ticket into the field. Or, he may complete his bolt by backing the republican nominee. An easier course would be to retire from the arena, a sorrow ing spectator of the great politicfS battle. Smith has not tntimated what he will do.
 Ely Abandons Fight
 Former Gov. Joseph B. Ely, one of Smiths anti- Roosevelt allies now as in 1892. planned a frontal ate tack on the New Deal in Massachu. setts. He hoped to put an anti- Roosevelt slate of convention dele- gates into the Massachusetts pFlsn- ary contest. But the futllity of that plan became apparent and it was abandoned. 6miGh. Ely. former Sen. James A. Reed of Missouri. and oth- CT anti-New Deal democrats decided finally to postpone until after both
