out assistance today after three
liners had swung from their courses
to give aid.

day, but when the Polish liner Pill
sudski reached her side this morning
she said she needed no immediate
help and would await salvage tug
A few hours later, the British
freighter st. Quentin, toward which
the luxury liners Bremen and Wash

There was no word from a third
ship-the British freighter Rushpool
which yesterday reported difficult
ties. Shipping officials here expressed
the belief she was in no further
danger and had gone on her way.
The Gdynia-America liner Pilsudski,
which raced through heavy seas to
stand by the Ivanhoe after the latter S
rudder broke, notified the lines New

STOCKS co Down
81 TO S6A SHARE
Heavy Selling Laid to French
Vote, Tax Doubts and
Technical Factors.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April PA gradual
accumulation of uneasiness today
touched off heavy selling in the stock
market, driving leading shares down
around 81 to Sc.
Brokers said the unsettlement rep
resented a combination of factors
rather than any single force.
The French elections yesterday, in
dicating drift to the left, we're seen
in some circles as throwing fresh con-
fusion around the French franc.
The drastic slump in shares of the
Bank of France and a decline in
rentes in Paris we're said to have
prompted some foreign selling here.
Other things working to unhinge
stock market confidence, brokers said,
were tax uncertainties and the fear
that the stock market had outrun the
pace of general business.
Issues down 81 to Sc or so included
United States Steel. Bethlehem Steel,
Allied Chemical, Westinghouse, Amer
ican Telephone, Chrysler, General Mo-
tors, Delaware & Hudson, Union Pa
ciflc, International Harvester and New
York Central
So heavy was the selling shortly
after noon that the stock ticker fell
about three minutes behind the
market.
Selling of equities jolted the bond
market somewhat and the corpor-
ate list declined with rail loans lead
ing the downturn. United States Gov
ernment obligations were irregular.

CHAMBER ADDRESS
HITS PATERNAL|SM
Vanguard of 1000 Business
Men Hears Federal Con-
troll ASsaiIed.

The advance guard of the delegates
to the annual convention of the
United States Chamber Of Commerce
were told today that the time has
come for business men to open cam
paign which will bring home to each
individual the value of conducting the
Federal Government along the lines
set forth by the Constitution.
Every man here who is in business
ways in which Washington influences
now affect or control his business,
cramp his initiative and retard his
efforts to solve his own problems
either by his own efforts or in con-
junction with other business men in
his own community or his own in
dustry," Philip J. Fay of California
chamber vice president, said in his
luncheon address to the National
Councillors
Fay's talk was regarded as the open
ing of week-long blast of comment
antagonistic toward the New Deal. BY
tomorrow 1000 business men from all
over the country are expected to be
here for the opening of the conven-
ton proper. which will have for its
leading topic of discussion the unem-
ployment problem.
Roper Asked to Speak.
Secretary Roper has been invited
to present the administrations job
views close on the heels Of President
Roosevelt's assertion that business and
industry must absorb more of the un-
employed or face higher relief costs.
I'VE must show to the average
American not just that some partic-
ular policy now prevailing in the Fed
eral Government is contrary to the
Constitution of the United States,
Fay declared in outlining the need
for personalizing the Constitution
but that the constitutional provision
thus violated is the thing that must
be preserved for his protection. ano
that when it is violated he is injured
The working out of a means fol-
making the voice of business heard
above the babble of demagogues is the
paramount need which business or
ganizations of our generation will
have to meet. The fact seems to be
today that the stable direction OF
Federal policy by well-organized party
groups in Washington has broken
down. This has tended toward con-
dition in which decisions of national
policy are controlled by the number
of persons and the volume of clamor
! which can be attracted at a given
moment to a particular measure OF
class program"
Nominations to Be Made.
At the close of Fay's speech the
council was to select nominees for the
board of directors.
1t will also formally make awards
for two contests held each year by the
chamber-flre waste and city and rural
health conservation. The presentation
in the former will be made by F. w.

Could Haze Been Bound in
Manner Described.

Each of the pieces had been cut and
it was pointed out the girl may have
failed to collect all the pieces after
she had been released.
The girl was found early yesterday
by two Washington newspaper men In
a vacant cottage owned by her father.
She had been pushed into storage
closet, with her hands and throat tied
with the twine, and an old mattress
thrown over her.
There were several other mysterious
angles of the case under investigation
today. One was to determine how the
girls neck could have been bound
tightly enough with twine to prevent
her calling out for help. yet not tight
enough to choke her after she had
been left many hours with the cord
around her neck.
Washington police were making a
study of a glass water jar which the
kidnapers left with the girl when they
showed her into a small cupboard on
the second floor of the cottage. In

ICKES' ADMINISTRATION
FAVORED IN CONGRESS
Campaign for Earmarking Of

Spreading to Senate.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.


The perpetuation of Harry l.. Hop
kins' w. p. A. to handle public works
programs and elimination of Secretary
Ickes' P. w. A. are bound up in the
struggle over the ALLEGATION of the
81 500 ,000,000 asked by the President
for works activities during the coming
fiscal year.
Many members of Congress believe
the Public Works Administration, un-
der Secretary Ickes, is preferable to
the w. P. A. They believe the Gov
ernment and the people get far more
value for the money expended under
the P. w. A. And they believe that.
in the long run. p. w. A. is winning
far more business recovery than is
w. P. A. They believe further that
If the policies of w. P. A. are perpet-
uated. they will lead to tremendous
waste and to constant demand by
municipalities that the Federal Gov
ernment pay for improvements which
should be charged to the local COM
munities.
The campaign among members of
the House for earmarking for P. w. A.
S700 100000 of the billion and a half
dollar works fund, led by Representa-
tive Better, Democrat, of New York.
is spreading to the Senate. Many of
the Senators, Democrats and Repub.
licans alike, prefer to see the public
works programs of the Government
handled by the Public Works Admin
istration.
Works Item in Deficiency Bill.
The works item Is to go into the
deficiency appropriation, now before
a subcommittee of the House Ap-
preparations Committee. The bill is
expected to be reported to the House
some time next week. The und"--
standing today is that as reported
the bill will give the entire sum to
the w. P. A. That, so far, has been
the recommendation of President
Roosevelt.
Better has the signatures Of 1873
members of the House to a round
robin asking that $500 100000 be ear
marked for the P. W. A, and has
80 more commitments" If these
members of the House are willing to
go to the mat they could prevent the
adoption of a rule to forbid amend
ments to the works item if such a
rule were attempted in the House
and leave the item wide open to
amendment. Better promises to con-
tinue the fight. How far administra-
ton pressure will be exerted to give
Hopkins the whole works fund re-
mains to be seen and also how far
the members Of the House are willing
to go against the wishes of the ad-
ministration in the matter.
Members of Congress who are sup
porting the P. w. A. in this matter
say that it is time the country realized
several things involved They say that
the P. w. A. not only is more effec-
tive when it comes to handling long
range public works program, but that
1t actually gives more employment
than the Works Progress Administra-
ton projects for the Government
money expended.
The P. w. A. has had two pro-
grams-the first under the So 900 ,000,-
900 appropriation originally made for
public works. part of the recovery
program: the second under the S4,880,
