lin Trunk Line

AhA 4A AUAhA 4]hAhO s
 The senate today received from the committee on roads, bridges and rivers a favorable report on the original bill of Senator George T. Culhane putting North Main street and the road over Bucks and Spin dle hills to Cedar lake in Wolcott in the trunk line system. Original ly the bill was passed by the sen- ate and then recommitted to the committee on roads, bridges and riv- CTS by the house. This was due to tis wording which differed from that of the customary measure calling for inclusion of a certain road in the trunk line. Instead of merely authorizing the state highway com- missioner to proceed with this work, it instructed" him to do so. The substitute bill, which the senate is expected to pass and send to the house next week, follows the ordi- nary wording of such measures.

WARSH|P SPEEDS
TO MALLORCA

LONDON, Oct. 28.-The battle
cruiser Hood, the worlds largest
warship, commanded by Britain's
highest ranking admiral in the
western Mediterranean, steamed
toward the Islands of Mallorca
today.
Although the British admiralty
announced this move was only to
relieve the Despatch, a cruiser
previously assigned to this area,
considerable attention was given
to the remark of diplomat that
the Hood presumably is not going
to shoot partridges."
Vice Admiral A. B. Cunningham,
in command, will keep an eye on
the Belearic Islands, near Britain's
main route to her eastern Mediter-
ranean bases. Special attention
has been called to a report that an
Italian air base is established on
Mallorca, which is in the hands Of
Spanish Insurgent General Franco.
It is believed this situation has
made 1t imperative for Great
Britain to maneuver her fleet for
more positive protection.

There was no official comment
on the Federal Reserve Board ac-
ton announced from Washington,
but there was interest in it's pos
sible effect on Government reve-
nue..
DISCUSSION SLATED
Federal income and spending
will be discussed by President
Roosevelt with Secretary of the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau, jr.,
and acting Budget Director Daniel
w. Bell at the Roosevelt family
estate tomorrow night.
Informed observers b believe d
that if the Reserve Boards an.
nouncement that stock margin re-
quirementS will be reduced from
SIS to 40 per cent, effective Mon
day, results in higher security
values, the Government will real.
ize a gain in tax revenue.
That theory was expressed by
Joseph P. Kennedy, former Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission
chairman, after seeing Mr.. Roose-
welt Tuesday. Kennedy also said
he believed the Administration
should adjust downward its capi.
tai gains and undivided surplus
tax laws.
CONFERENCE HELD
Kennedy came to Hyde Park to
see the President with william o.
Douglas, present SEC head. Also
comforting with Mr.. Roosevelt, be-
fore the Reserve Boards action
was announced, were Averell Har-
riman, New York financier; James
H. Perkins, New York banker;
Paul Shields, senior partner of a
New York brokerage house, and
other important business men.
The chief topic Of the Morgen-
thau-Bell conference with the
President tomorrow night will be
means of financing the Admins
tration's proposed new "ever-nor.
NAL granary" crop control bill, and
corn loans.

BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM

TN.SD. The Federal Reserve
Board, needing the pleas of Wall
Street, today, in effect, invited
the public to step back into the
stock market.
Disturbed by the continued mar
ket upheaval during the past
months which saw securities
values shrink nearly $4,000, ,000,-
900, the Board ordered a sweep
ing reduction in margin require
ments and imposed a drastic curb
on short selling.
MARGIN is CUT
Under the new regulations
which become effective November
/, the public will be able to pur
chase stocks on 40 per cent mar
gin, a reduction of IS per cent.
At the same time, the board
prescribed a so per cent margin
for short sales. At present, there
is no Federal regulation calling
for a margin on short sales. The
New York Stock Exchange anc
other registered exchanges up tc
now have imposed only 10 pei
cent margin requirement for such
transactions.
About year ago, the board in
creased the buying margin to 81
per cent. It's action at that time
was predicated on the fear thai
there might be a renewal OF the
speculative exceSses that led tc
the market crash in 1929.
REPEATED DECLINES
During the past year, however
the stock market has suffered re
peated declines. President Charles
Gay, of the New York Stock Elk
change, and Winthrop Aldrich
head of Chase National Bank, th'
largest in the Nation, recently
blamed the higher margin for thu
current market ills.
Public buying had dwindled Il
such an extent that many broker
age houses were ready to close.
Although the board has sole au
thority to fix margin rates, the
latest action was taken in close co
operation with the SEC. Commis
sion Chairman William o. Doug
las conferred on the stock market
situation with President Roosevelt
earlier this week. Joseph P. Ken
nedy, Maritime Commission heac
and former SEC chairman, alsC
talked with the President a few
days ago, presumably on the same
subject.

By FRANK GERvAsI

ROME, Oct. % GNS).-Pre

speech delivered before 100000

with a grim warning of woe to
any nation daring to attack Italy
Referring to the pact that Fascisnl
in Italy is now is years old, he
declared:
ut would be extremely risky

This desire for peace was ham

Mussolini today in his address tt
the leaders of his party.
He told them the watchword oi
the sixteenth fascist year is peacs

the word peace" in the past.
But when the word is used
by us, who fought and are ready
to fight again." he said, 'it re-
