STOCKS MOVE UP
IN QUIET SESSION
Climb Fractions to Two or
More Points-Traders
Watch Paris Crisis.
BY FRANK MacMILLEN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, May 9.-The stock
market climbed on low-speed gears
today, but it rolled into higher terri
tory with gains of fractions to 2 or
more points.
Many traders, awaiting a show
down on the French financial crisis,
took Saturday off and the board
rooms were all but deserted. Stock
Exchange floor members who braved
the heat wave. however. leaned to the
buying side and bids were up from the
sound of the opening gong.
1t was the sloweSt session since
June 90. last, only 341.610 shares
changing hands. The Associated Press
average of 60 stocks ended up 5 of a
point at SCI.
Laid to Short Covering.
Part of the days forward push was
attributed to short covering by the
so-caAed professional element, which
generally likes to be out of commit
ments over the week end.
But little investment participa-
ton was said to have crept in on the
theory that the comparative steadiness
of Fridays performance may have in
dicated that the secondary reaction
may have reached its limit and that
the ground had been paved for re-
sumption of the advance.
The fate of the French franc was
Evening star., 1936-05-10

still the principal subject Of discus
sion in the Wall Street sector, with
opinions divided as to whether this
monetary unit would be revalued
downward soon, or whether the ex-
cision question would be left to the
new government which takes over the
first of next month.
Effect Uncertain.
Even if it is finally decided to cut
the value of the franc, banking quar-
ters were not so sure that the securities
markets would be greatly disturbed.
A brief unsettlement might accom-
pany the repatriation Of continental
funds, it was thought by some, but it
was not expected this would be severe.
In the long run, many believed the
move would bring international cur
rency stabilization that much nearer.
The franc was steady most of the
day in foreign exchange dealings, but
slipped back to finish off .00A Of
cent at 6.58as cents. Rassurance Of
Paris officials helped, and it was also
reported that the British equalization
fund was active in support. This was
indicated by the fact that sterling
turned reactionary and closed Ia
cents lower at S498.

PiOls Farmer of Kansas Rides
To CAPITAL With Bible as Ticket
Sees " WaIIace-HOlds
Scriptures Justify Soil
Conservation.
C.. r. Werner Says Isaiah
as Well as Malachi
Guides Growers.

A prophet has come out Of the West.
His name is G. r. Werner, his home
is at Kensington, Kans., and his doc
trine is Gods favor is to be found by
mans becoming, like Himself, just
and merciful."
Wheat farmer by. profession and
ardent student Of the Scriptures by
Christian choice. Werner hitch-hiked
to Washington from Kansas City, Mo-,
to see Secretary Of Agriculture Henry
Wallace.
"The journey was pleasant from
start to finish" the pilgrim says, "and
my only ticket was the Bible. When
motorists saw the Book of Books In
my hand, they knew that am a man
Of peace and they gladly invited me
to ride with them. I met many good
people along the way. Mr.. and Mrs.
Clayton N. Baker of West Brownsville,
Pa. were so kind as to entertain me
at their home"
Migrated From New York.
Werner in 1884 took Horace Gree
ley's advice and treked from New
York to Nebraska, then to Western
Kansas. There he conceived the policy
of Summer farming" which now has
been adopted by the Government. He
advocated his plan at an agricultural
meeting in 1908. The finest wheat in
the world. he insists, can be grown on
semi-arid land II conservation prin-
ciples are applied. Farmers who con-
serve their land, in his judgment. will
be obeying the injunction of the Crea-
tor The prophet Malachi is the farm
ers' best guide, but they also should
read Isaiah.
Soft of voice and gentle of manner,
Werner practices his Christianity. ITO
deserve well of God" he explains,
America must obey God. I honestly
believe that our great troubles-wars
and rebellions, panics and famines,
droughts and floods, dust storms and
tornados-have come upon us because
We forgot the Almighty Father"
Werner deplores the neglect of wor-
he believes, "are good discipline, such
as every family needs. Our young people
should be taught reverence and fru-
gality Then they would not abuse
the land nor fail to honor the tradi-
tions of our country"
Approves New A. A. A.
Arriving in the Capital yesterday,
Werner was received by Wallace, whom
he had known previously at Des
Moines. and by Representative Frank
Carlson. He also has had conferences
with other officials The A. A. A. plan,
he holds. was mistake. but the pres
ent soil-erosion- soil building proposals
are wise and should be helpful to the
farmers.
Werner is 70 years Of age and has
four sons and one daughter. He has
travelled in Europe and visited WASH
ington first in 1910. While here he is
staying with friends of the Full Gospel
Tabernacle where. he says, "the Bible

grants, for the care Of needy tran
sients. Transient relief was abolished
here last Fall. District relief workers
refer cases Of needy transients to the
Travellers Aid Society.
The question Of turning transients
away came up at the press confer
ence when Mr.. Roosevelt was asked
II he did not think California and
other States turning people away at
their borders were violating the con-
stitutional rights Of citizens Of the
United States.
The President answered by prefac-
ing his remarks with the statement
that he did not wish to enter upon
the constitutional aspects of this
question, but that he did look on 1t
as q problem Of American Govern.
ment. He said that the great in.
crease in the number of people with.
out funds and apparently no domicile
has reached the point where 1t is being
given considerable study.
