Affecting the list, brokers said, was
the apparent cooling of initiation fever

While Wall Street, on the whole,
thought the administration spending

would be carried cut in the main,
Washington advices of possible con-
gressional battle over phases of the
recovery program tended to inspire
many traders to tighten commitments
and wait for further light on the
argument.
After fairly steady opening Offer
ings became persistent enough to drive
last weeks favorites. most of which
had retrieved better than half of the
March slump, down to around low
levels fthe day. Subsequent buying
support reduced extreme declines, but
closing quotations were not far from
low marks of the session.
Dealings were sluggish over most Of
the route, and transfers approximated

ICKES STILL UNDECIDED
ON HELIUM GAS SALE

Secretary of Interior Ickes has not
yet decided whether the proposed sale
Of helium gas to Germany would
violate the law forbidding any for
eign accumulation of the gas that
would be of military Importance, and
probably will not make up his mind
on the question for several days.
His aides said he is still studying
the record of congressional hearings
on the helium bill, particularly the
testimony of Army and Navy officials
opposed to such sale, and that he
wanted to confer again with the Presi-
dent.
The Reich government wants to
buy 17,900,000 cubic feet of the non
inf1ammable gas for its new giant
dirigible, the LZ-130. The State De-
partment and the National Munitions
Control Board have approved the ap-

blowing straw into the barn, a mass

not possible to save any of the barn
equipment and two calves were
burned as was about 60 tons of hay
and some lumber which was stored

barn.
Mrs. Entner carried some insurance
and may not rebuild this year, but

killed by the bolt and all of the cows
which were being MIXED at the time
were knocked down by shock. How
ever, Mr.. and Mrs. Lindholm and
three sons, who were milking, were
not hurt and were able to get out
before the flames harmed them.
