Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK.

NEW YORK. October "a late
selling wave hit the stock market
today and leading issues piloted by
rails were shaken down for ne: losses
running to or more points.
The ticker tape speeded up as Offer
ings came in blocks of 1000 to 1000
shares and for a while was behind
actual floor dealings. A little support
arrived before the close and extreme
declines were reduced in many cases.
Contributing to the relapse was a
sharp break in cotton futures follow
ing the Governments forecast of the
largest crop since 1926 and the second
greatest on record. Other commodi-
ties skidded and bonds dipped.
The stock list opened slightly lower.
but soon moved up under leadership
of steels, motors, aircrafts ana spe-
cialties. Apathy of the rally, however.
soon inspired cashing in Of profits
and bellwethers of the morning led
the final threat.
Transfers were, around 1,15O,000
shares.
Although less talk was heard of
war babies" some stocks in this
category attracted followers for a
time. Trading forces appeared q bit
confused regarding possible repercus-
sions from Americas stand on "ag-
gressor" nations, including the de-
nunciation of Japan on the Chinese
conflict.
Pending the Presidents conference
with his cabinet on foreign affairs and
the advisability of a special session of
Congress latter was stressed by
the cotton report-many commits
sion house customers were said to
have adjourned TO the sidelines.

IS TOPIC
OF PRIEST

That the war in Spain is a battle
between Christianity and atheism
was the opinion expressed last
night by the Very Rev. Sylvester
Sancho, o. p, in an address to
priests, nuns, and summer school
students at Catholic University.
Father Sancho, a witness to the
fall Of Bilbao, and once a visitor
of General Franco, asserted $4,000
churches, some of them dating as
far back as the eighth century,
have already been destroyed in
the war.
General Franco is one Of the best
military officers in Europe,
Father Sancho said, and is a
devout Catholic, never missing a
mass or rosary despite the
seriousness of the war.
In concluding his talk, the
speaker asked his audience to
pray not for Frances cause, but
for the loyalists-that they
might be "enlightened."

Deaf Delegates
Sing and Talk
lin Silence

CHICAGO, July 26 UN.SJ-A
gay convention Of 5000 delegates
with singing, dancing, speeches
and frolicking opened in Chicago
today-but scarcely a sound was
heard.
Hotel Hobbies, last week roaring
with 5000 International Lions
delegates, again were crowded, but
there was no sound of a human
voice.
Today's delegates were members
Of the National Association Of the
Deaf, and their conversation,
speeches, and even their singing
was carried on in sign language.
Virginia M. Dries, of Chicago,
spelled out the words of the Star
Spangled Banner" on her fingers
to the accompaniment of piano.
A message from President RooSe-
welt was then spelled out in the
silent sign language, and the con-
vention was under way. When
the dancing, including a balloon
dance, starts this evening, the
delegates will swing to the music
Of brass drums, the vibrations Of
which they can fell.

Up Tomorrow
International News Service

Revised in an effort to meet OBJ
jections raised by President Roose-

bill will be called up for passage
in the House tomorrow.
Representative Miller CD, Of
Arkansas, co-author Of the meas
ure, said amendments would be Of
fered on the floor at the sugges-
ton Of Attorney General Cum
mings to meet President Roose-
velt's objections.
The bill, which is designed to
aid a. States in enforcing retail
price maintenance laws, was taken
off the House calendar by leaders
two months ago when Mr.. RooSe-
welt expressed fear the measure
would foster monopoly.
Senator Tydings CD Of Mary
land, succeeded in attaching a
similar Senate measure to the Dis
trict Of Columbia tax bill as a
rider.
The measure has been vigorously
attacked as price fixing. Its foes
assert it is a reenactment of major
provisions Of the NRA retailers
code.

SHOWDOWN
ON SPAIN
BY KINGsBURY SMITH

LONDON, July 26 0.N.S0.
Demanding Eyes or no" answers,
Britain called for a showdown to-
day on Europe's ticklish problem
of nonintervention in SPANS civil
war.
Spurred by reports that two
Italian infantry divisions and Ger
man planes are participating with
the rebels in the gigantic battle
now raging on the Madrid front,
the British government called a
meeting of the nonintervention
chairman's subcommittee for this
afternoon.
Seeks Deadlock End
At this meeting, Lord Plymouth,
nonintervention chairman n d
British representative, will seek to
break the deadlock that finds
Britain, France and Soviet Russia
liner UP against Portugal, Ger
many and Italy on granting belllg-
erent rights to Spanish loyalists
and rebels and withdrawing for
eign volunteers.
Lord Plymouth will present a
British QUESTIONABLE, requesting
affirmative or negative answers
by Friday on various proposals in
the British compromise plan.
Placing Responsibility
This member is designed to
override the impaSSe created by
Italian Ambassador Dino Grand
and to force members Of the non
intervention committee to show
their hands regarding their will
lingness to make the noninter-
vention control effort effective.
II the majority Of the govern
ments support the British COM
promise, as Britain expects they
will do, responsibility for break
down will then be placed squarely
on the shoulders of italy and Ger
many, in the British view.
