BROAD RALLY

NEW YORK, Jan. % uNSO.
The stock market today broke out
Of its trading rut of the past nine
days with a vigorous and broad
rally. Gains in leading stocks ran
to a point for the most part,
although a few volatile issues
Spurted from Q to 4.
Johns Evansville jumped from
1921 to los in one sale and then
rose to 1852 for a net gain on
the day of more than 4 points.
With the House expected to
rush through the bonus bill in
short order this afternoon, an in
nationary tinge was lent to the
market and the dollar weakened
abroad. Commodities also Spurted.
Among the favorable business
items was the U. S. foreign trade
report showing December exports
were the largest in five years and
the prediction by the midweek
steel review of a new expansion
in mill operations.
Steel shares were in particular
demand with United States Steel
running up ~ points and Bethle-

Among individual features were
Westinghouse, up 3; Deere, up Q;
Western Union, up 2, and Atchi-
son 21a. Douglas rose more than

EARLY GAINS

NEW YORK, Jan. % 0NSO.
Stimulated by the completion of
substitute plans for the AAA.
which were sent to Senate and
House committees today, the cot
ton futures market held on to
gains in later trading, despite
issuance of 10 notices against the
January contract.
Trading was fairly active but
prices held in a narrow range
after the initial call.
Early selling Of some 5000
bales of January was credited to
the producers pool. The trade,
professionals and spot houses took
these offerings and the delivery
held up well. Local professionals
were selling July and october and
the South and New Orleans were
liquidating generally. Commission
houses, Liverpool. the Far East
and the trade bought. A fairly
good advance in Liverpool aided
prices in the domestic market.
March was quoted at 11.43 up

AID MONEY GONE,
NEEDY STARVING
Pleas of Many Applicants
Rejected by FundIess Re.
lief Agencies.

An undetermined number of Wash
ington families are without food today
as District relief agencies, lacking
funds to furnish any assistance, were
compelled to reject the pleas Of needy
applicants yesterday.
Community Chest officials said some
of these applicants already had been
evicted from their homes, others faced
the week end with no food for them
selves and families and some had very
little to carry them over Sunday.
Heads Of families comprising more
than 1000 persons had appealed in
vain for help up to noon yesterday.
Dropped from the relief rolls of the
Public Assistance Division of the
Board of Public Welfare at the end of
March because that agency no longer
had funds to help ''employables," the
needy turned to the various Chest
agencies. They were informed, how
ever, there was nothing the Chest
agencies could do for them. To take
on even one more family, it was
pointed out, would mean the cessation
of Chest relief to some other family.

ate straits.
Forced to Discontinue Aid.
The public assistance division has
some funds left to help "unemploy-
ables," but it was forced to discon-
tinue aid to about 4,100 families in
which some member was listed as en-
playable.
Meanwhile, Elwood Street, director
of public welfare, made public yester-
day the figures on the first curtailed
pay roll. Since April l, total Of $5s,-
21817 has been mailed to 1896 "un-
employable" clients or to parents OF

While the weather forecast Of

the first Sunday reception Of the cele-

pom, the threat of overcast skies and
temperatures in the low SOS had little
effect on the public's enthusiasm last
night, as hotels, tourist camps and
other emergency lodgings were filling
up not only for the week end, but for
the coming week.
Surviving flood, high wind, snow
and freezing temperatures, the fragile
appearing blossoms of the japanese
cherry trees are appearing as an
abundant floral harvest, and according
to park authorities will be at their
peak today.
Roads Reported Crowded.
Police officials reported that roads
leading into Washington from all d.
rections were crowded as early as yes
terday afternoon, and special details
Of traffic police have been summoned
for duty in the downtown precincts
today.
The press of traffic, police explained
is usually felt shortly before noon and
continues until late in the afternoon,
when a continuous stream Of motor
traffic flows around the basin to wit
ness the spectacle of the blossoms In

ON FUNDS URGED
Citizens Federation Sug-
gests Standing Group Fix
Lump Sum Annually.

Legislation to establish q permanent
commission on fiscal relations to de-
termine the annual contribution of the
Federal Government to the cost OF
operating the District of Columbia
was asked unanimously by the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations last
night.
At the same time the federation de-
manded that the lump sum be restored
to s8,357 900 for the 1897 fiscal year,
as requested by the District Commis-
sioners. The Budget Bureau cut this
sum to $5,700,0O0 and the House re-
duced it further to $2,700,0 900.
The proposed commission on fiscal
relations would be composed of one
Senator appointed by the Vice Presi-
dent; one Representative appointed
by the Speaker of the House; two
District citizens and two taxpayers
appointed by the President, and Q
fifth member. selected by the other
four. This NTH member would be
q nonresident of the Capital. the
owner of no property here, not a
Government employe, and not local
taxpayer. All members would serve
without compensation.

The duty of the commission would
be to fix the lump sum after a study

Generally speaking, while these

sentiment for the nomination of Gov.

ingly in the primary election, put it
this way;
MY position, and I think 1t is the
position of other Eastern Republicans,
Is that the West, If it so desires, should
produce the candidate for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination this
year. But we in the East are from
Missouri this year. We want to be
shown which candidate the West is
for. What happens in the primaries
and the State conventions Of the West
will doubtless have great effect"

The representatives of New Jersey
at the conference, on the other hand,
insisted Landon was the choice Of
the Republicans of that State; that
the Kansas Governor would certainly
have a large majority of the Jersey
delegation pledged to him. although
some of the delegates would be "un-
instructed"

LooSed by Democrats,
He Asserts.
By the Associated Press.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. April 4.-For-
mer President Herbert Hoover, deliv-
ering another of his monthly addresses
on the state of the Nation, lashed out
tonight at the New Deal as an invader
of private liberty and a corrupter Of
clear thinking before two gatherings
of corn-belt Republicans.
He spoke first at banquet of
Young Republicans, and from the ban
quet hall he went by automobile to
Gospel Temple, on the edge of Fort
Wayne, to deliver a prepared address
broadcast over the blue network of
the National Broadcasting Co. and by
the Midwest Mutual Broadcasting
System chain.
"The most dangerous invasions of
liberty by the New Deal have not
been in the economic field, as violent
as they are" he told the gathering,
which filled the 4,50O seats of the
temple. THE Supreme Court has the
power to check that. The corruption
of clear thinking is in the long view
far more insidious and destructive to
the safeguards of America"

1T slumps whenever this is misin-
formed, suppressed or intimidated.
That is the most certain lesson in
history. They who have the thirst for
power over the daily lives of the people
in order to protect themselves from the
political consequences of their actions
are driven irresistibly and without
peace to a greater and greater control
of the Nations thinking.
Those who seek for power thus
move easily from propaganda to rau-
cous denunciation. From that it is
