BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, June 2 UN.S0
Stocks continued depressed in
early afternoon dealings today,
although some recovery was made
from the extreme forenoon lows.
The morning reaction, which
had reflected fears the Senate COM
promise tax bill might have to give
way in four points. Support was
met, however, just before midday
and moderate progress from the
lower levels was effected.
Westinghouse Electric regained
about a point of it's earlier four
point slump. j. I. Case was another
selling target, losing more than
three points before meeting sup
port.
Steels, motors and rails were
among the softest groups.
Bethlehem and United States
Steel recovered part of their morn
ing losses of q point and more.
General Motors and Chrysler were
fractionally lower, the latter at
one time slipping more than a
point.
There was a fair demand for
oils, copper and dry goods. Petro-
leum shares we're helped by a
favorable turn in crude oil figures.

STARKEY RITES

More than 200 members Of the
District Of Columbia Bankers As
sociation and several prominent
officials who had been guests Of
the association at its annual con-
vention at white Sulphur Springs,
W. Va, returned to washington
yesterday.
The homecoming was saddened
by announcement Of the death Of
George L. Starkey, president Of
the National Bank Of Washing
ton.
Karl w. Corby. newly-elected
president of the association, i'm
mediately appointed the following
committee who, with himself, will
represent the bankers association
at the funeral services: Robert v.
Fleming, president, Riggs National
Bank; George w. white, president,
National Metropolitan Bank; Fran
els G. Addison, jr., president, Sc

Of the board, Second National

dent, Bank of Commerce and Saw
ings; Corcoran Thorn, president,
American Security and Trust Com
pany, and Ord Preston, president,
Union Trust Company. Corby
said:
George Starkey was possibly
one of the most earnest and
sincere gentlemen in the city
Of Washington. In his capacity
as a banker over many years
he has endeared himself not
only to the senior bankers Of
the city, but to every junior
banker, who admired him for
his character and ability. We
will feel his loss for many years
to come"

Men are completely opposed to
the return Of their industry and

That is one of the findings in

Twenty-Five per cent of the

while only 3 per cent of the 96
members of the council favored
the return Of the NRA in its
original form.
This is in interesting contrast
to the survey exactly a year ago
when 81 per cent of the council
advocated continuation of the

of each five votes for the NRA
were coupled with requests that

Berlin.-German brewers in the

the war many of them have dabbled
In mineral waters-and even in
wine.
Thus innkeepers who were tied to
a brewery often we're compelled to
accept their wines and waters from
the same source. Now, innkeepers

obligation-breweries can no longer
deprive them Of their independence.
The innkeepers are at liberty TO
buy their varied drinks from varied
sources-whieh, 1t is claimed. is all

ers. OF course, the brewers may
continue to sell soft drinks and
wines IL they wish; but such sales
win depend upon quality and not
