wrecked Secretary Of Agriculture
Wallace's farm legislative pro-
gram for this session, his Agricul-
ture Department aides admitted
today.
The Senate Agriculture Com
mittee has agreed there is no
hope of enacting general farm
legislation at this session, and
announced plans to hold hearings
to work out q future program.
House farm bloc leaders still in
sist upon trying to enact Wal
lace's ever-normal granary plan,
but even the House Agricultural
Committee can't agree.
Farm leaders were called to
Washington last February to work
out a program. They adopted
resolutions calling for crop insur-
ance, continuation of soil conser-
walton, farm tenancy and a re-
turn to production control, held
unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court in January, 1886.
Committee hearings broke UP,
and general farm legislation
passed into a state Of coma. Over
a month ago the American Farm
Bureau Federation brought in a
new measure. approved in the
main by wallace, but other farm
leaders refused to support it.
Meanwhile, the Agriculture De-
partment has predicted a 882,-
100000 bushel wheat crop, the
richest harvest in 10 years for
farmers.

NEW YORK, July "a GN.S0.
New York city's Republican lead
ers stood accused by Mayor
Fiorello H. LaGuardia today Of
an alliance with Democratic
Tammany Hall. The mayor
charged that the decision Of
United States Senator Royal S.
Copeland to seek the Republican
nomination indicated such an
alliance.
The mayor hurled his charge
after Kenneth Simpson, New
York county Republican chair
man, announced support Of
Joseph D. McGoldrick as con-
troller and Alderman Newbold
Morris for president Of the coun-
Gil. Simpson declared that "the
door is wide open for a candidate
for mayor"
LaGuardia, choice Of the
Fusion forces, commented:
Seemingly the Republican
party is wide open to Tam
many Hall. I ann NOT concerned
in q brawl between Jimn1SS
DOOIing and Jimmy Hines with
in the Republican party. The
voters of this city will have
ample opportunity to indOrSe
my administration by voting
for me and other candidates
who are not tied up with Tam
many Hail."
Grover A. Whalen, former pc
lice commissioner, declared Sena-
tor Copeland, his main rival for
nomination, was picked by Tam
many because he was opposed to
the Roosevelt administration.

STOCK MARKET
LAPSES INTO
DULLNESS
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, July "a UN.S).
The stock market lapSed into
irregularity and dizziness today
after the rise most of the week.
Profit-taking and the absence of
many traders from Wall Street
were the big factors, while some
notice was taken of the new break
in cotton.
The days news contained fur.
Their good earnings and dividend
reports, notably ChrySler. but was
of little influence on prices. The
Supreme Court and Washington
political situation we're temporarily
put into the background.
Utilities Turn Quiet
Utilities for a while tried to
duplicate yesterdays strength and
leadership but they, too, quoted
down later. The group showed
more gains than losses, but these
were unimportant even in the
preferred share section. Trading
in the power shares tapered off
also after moderate activity at the
opening.
Chrysler was higher on it's
earnings and dividend and was
up a point at one time but deal
ings were not large after the
opening block of 1000 shares.
General Motors was slightly
higher, awaiting the earnings re-
port and dividend action on Mon
day.
The steel section was mostly
lower. Republic started lower but
came back and Youngstown was
heavy. U. S. Steel dipped a half
point and then moved up for a
slight gain.
Forecasts Aid COppers
Good earnings forecasts and
firmness in the foreign copper
price aided the copper shares.
American Smelling was up nearly
a point at one time, but the others
ruled barely above the previous
close.
Profit-taking sent the farm i'm
plementS, buoyant earlier in the
week, downward. Losses were
fractional. Oils did little either
way, with gains and losses evenly
divided. Building shares added to
yesterdays gains. Rails were dull
and irregular, as were the tobac-
cos. Electrical equipments were
firm.
Cotton cracked 50 a bale to
break the 11-ce7t level in heavy
liquidation. Wheat was inclined
to sag under pressure.
Bonds were quiet and steady.
Foreign exchanges were dull, with
the pound slightly higher and the
French franc easy.

MAYOR TO AID
WIDER ROAD

TAKOMA PARK, Md, July "a.
Mayor John r. Adams and the
Takoma Park town council will
support residents Of the town in
their fight to have Eastern Avenue
widened and improved from its
present terminus at Cedar Avenue
through to connect with the ex-
tension Of New Hampshire Avenue.
Members Of the Takoma Park
Boundary Citizens Association pre-
Sented a petition to the mayor and
council this week urging them to
take steps to condemn the land
necessary for the improvement.
j. Wilson Dodd, town clerk and
treasurer, pointed out today that
it is not up to the town to con-
denim the property since the Mary
land boundary line runs along the
north side of Eastern Avenue, plac.
ing the entire street within the
District.
Town officials, however, Mr..
Dodd said, are favorable to the
improvement and realize that it
would greatly aid in carrying the
traffic Of this area during the rush
hours, and will in all probability
forward a request to the District
Commissioners this week urging
them to give the project immediate
consideration.
The greatest expense in connec-
ton with the project would arise
between Cedar and Willow Ave
nueS, within the town limits where.
for a distance Of two city blocks,
there never was any right Of way
dedicated. This is entirely built
up at the present.
From Willow Avenue through to
New Hampshire Avenue there is q
right of way and if additional land
is required for the highway it is
believed dedicationS could be OBJ
tanned from practically all OF the
affected property owners.
Improvement Of this important
link in the Eastern Takoma Park
highway system has been sought
for many years, but has been
greatly complicated and handi-
capped by the fact that it Is
bounded by three jurisdictions, the
District of Columbia, Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties,
Maryland.
New Hampshire Avenue is now
in the process of being extended
frim the District Line to eventually
connect with the Baltimore WaSh-
ington highway near College Park,
