N. A. TO HELP
D. {. UNITS

Potomac Electric Power Com
pany, the Braddock Light and
Power Company, furnishing cleo
trio service in Washington and
20 other communities in Virginia
and nearby Maryland territory,
and the Capital Transit Company
will share in expenditures of more
than thirty million dollars in 1887
in which more than IS per cent
will be devoted to additions to
electric systems, according to a
statement to stockholders of the
North American Company by j.
F. Fogarty, president.
The local companies are all sub
salaries of the North American
Company.
Among other items listed in
the report is an increase in gen.
Grating facilities of the Buzzards
Point plant of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company.
Additions to transmission and
distribution systems to provide for
continued increasing demand for
service are included in the COM
pany's plans for subsidiaries.

From the fact that Admins
tration quarters have not seen
fit to spike rumors Of some sort
of revived MIRA, Congressional
circles see new strategy on behalf
of the court reform bill. They
reason thus:
A sizeable number Of Congress
men are for further trade regu-
lation and wage-and-hour con-
trolls but are against the Presi.
dents court plan. This sets the
stage for White House sponsor
ship of NRA-type legislation
which probably wouldn't be up.
held by the present justices Of
the Supreme Court in view of
the unanimous Schechter de-
Cision. Another Blue Eagle egg,
then, would hatch new votes for
enlarging the court.
Diet Changes
Total food consumption varies
no more than 10 per cent be-
tween rich years and lean years,
but dietary habits fluctuate con-
siderably. This is strikingly
shown in United States Census
of Manufacturers latest survey
of the canned vegetable field.
More canned corn, peas, and to-
matoes are being sold today than
in 1929. But consumption of
canned spinach, squash, pump
kin, hominy and spaghetti re.
mains well below pre-depression
levels.

R. R. CROSSING
DEATHS RISE

Increases for the month of Jan
uary this year, compared with the
same month in 1886, in the num-
Der of accidents at highway-rail-
road grade crossings, and in the
number of persons who lost their
lives in such accidents, but a re-
duction in the number injured,
were shown in reports for that
month just received by the Safety
Section of the Association Of
American Railroads.
This increase in the number of
accidents and fatalities took place
despite the efforts of the rail
roads and various safety organi-
cations to induce motorists to use
greater caution in approaching
and passing over such crossings.
Highway.railroad grade cross
ing accidents in January this
year totaled 458, compared with
444 in the same month in 1896.
AS a result of those accidents, ITO
persons lost their lives in Janu-
airy this year compared with 1854
in the same month last year, and
SGT persons were injured in jan
uary, 1887, compared with SAB,
one year ago.

Holdings of U. s. Bonds
Reduced by Banks

Reporting member bank hold
ings Of Government securities de-
clined during March from $l0,-
ATS, 1000, 900 to $9,595, 000, 900, a fig
ure $1,000, 900, 900 below the peak
reached at the beginning Of last
July, according to the Alexander
Hamilton Institute.
An important factor making for
this sale of Government securities
by the member banks, according
to the report, was the action by
the board of governors of the Fed
eral Reserve System to bring to
a halt the trend toward greater
initiation. Such action included an
increase in reserve requirements
for member banks last August,
another increase at the beginning
of March and a third increase to
become effective at the beginning
of May. In addition. the Govern
ment has been Sterilizing all new
ly mined domestic gold and all
imported gold.
The effect of these measures to
halt the expansion of credit was
thus confined almost entirely to
Government bonds. The prices of
Government bonds decline sharp
ly, foreshadowing a higher cost to
the Government in the borrowing
of funds in the future. This was
the logical result of credit re-
striction measures since Govern
ment borrowing has been the
major factor accounting for the
expansion of credit during the
past four years. In other words,

inflationary movement had tc
put a restraint on future Govern
ment borrowing since the exten
sion of more credit to the Gov
is the sum and substance
Of more initiation, the Institute de
clares, adding:
1.-THE Government was thus
suddenly brought face to face
with the necessity Of either
balancing its budget or permit
ting greater initiation to develop.
Its first reaction to this prob
lem was a step in favor of the
latter course. The Board Of Gov
errors of the Federal Reserve
System began the purchase of
Government bonds in the open
market and to thus run counter
to it's previous policy of restrict
ing credit expansion. At the
same time, there is evidence that
the Government recognizes the
danger of long pursuing this
course since reports from Wash
ingtOn indicate renewed interest
in bringing the budget into bal
ance. 1t remains to be seen
whether this will be accom-
pIished. In the meantime, If the
purchase of Government bonds
by the Reserve Banks is con-
tinued, /: will provide the men,
Der banks with a means Of build
ing up reserves to support larger
deposits. The member banks will
thus be in a position to expand
their loans and investments and
to thus extend the inflatiOnary
movement"

ing some easiness in today's early

Foreign wheat markets were

The strong situation in cash
corn is largely responsible for the

CURB FIRMS UP
AFTER MIXED
OPENING
By EDWARD KRICKER

NEW YORK, April 90 QN.S0.
Firming considerably after an
irregular opening, curb stocks
worked moderately higher in
morning dealings today although
some irregularity persisted. Gains
were mostly of small proportions
and were established in moderate
trading volume.
A strong tone was evident in
the utility shares although gains
were in most cases less than a
point. Electric Bond & Share
added 70 point in good demand
and other low priced shares show
ing considerable improvement
were Niagara, Hudson Power, st.
Regis Paper and United Light A.
American Gas and Electric and
International Hydro Electric pre-.
ferred worked higher and Central
States Electric per cent pre-
ferred climbed ~ points to Is u.
Aluminium Ltd. was outstand-
ing in the miscellaneous list with
an advance of 6 points. Other
wise gains we're mostly frac-
tional with Lockheed Aircraft,
McWillaims Dredge, General Tire
and wentworth Mfg. turning in
some of the better performances.
Seiberling Rubber, Technicolor
and Standard Products eased.
Gains of 2 points in Creole and
more than a point in Gulf Oil
and Lion were outstanding in the
petroleum shares.
Mining share were still mixed
but showing a better tone than
