WALLACE'S COURT
HINT IS STUDIED
Move to Curb Power to
Review Agencies Rate
Orders Intimated.
By ths Associated Press.

Congressional and legal quarters
studied today broad hint from Secre-
tary Wallace that the administration
may propose restricting court power to
review ratemaking and regulatory
orders Of Federal agencies.
Secretary Wallace intimated the
possibility of that action at a press
conference yesterday after he criticized
tactics Of obstruction and never
ending litigation" growing out Of such
administrative orders.
The Department Of Agriculture chief
declared recent supreme Court de-
cisions involving quasi-judicial orders
OF administrative agencies and a pro-
posal by prominent corporation at
torney" threatened another court bat
tie
The battle would center. he said, on
IAN attempt to have the courts invade
the administrative field by taking over
the ratemaking and regulatory func-
tions OF administrative agencies"
Last Word "Not Spoken"
The Secretary cited cases in which
he said the will of the people'-as ex-
pressed through administrative agen-
cies-had been thwarted by "tortuous
legal maneuvers and delays" He
added:
The last word has not been spoken
ON this matter yet"
Secretary Wallace asserted that
administrative agencies perform func-
tions of Government requiring "ap-
propriate decision and action" in meet
ing day-to-day problems which the
courts, because of their very nature,
mode and tempo" are not equipped
to perform.
lover many years." he said. some
judges, forgetful of their coordinate
place in the Government have tried
to dominate rate making and regu-
lation. Because they have not been
equipped to operate in this way, they
have not and cannot give the people
the effective action that is needed" :"
The Supreme Court decisions men
toned by Secretary Wallace included
one invalidating his order to reduce
commission fees at the Kansas City
stockyards.
Secretary Wallace said that deci-
sion-based on failure of the Secre-
tary's Office to make available to
litigants a trial examiners report
served to ''give the Kansas City COM
mission men and their attorneys $780,
900 of impounded money which right
fully belongs to the farmers"
"A prominent corporation lawyer"
started movement to have the courts
Invade" the administrative field" of
Federal Government, Secretary Wal
lace said.
He declined to identify the lawyer,
other than to say his opinions have
carried great weight with the high
est courts in the land"

REVIVAL OF GRAIN
EXPORTS HAILED
Approximately 125 Millions Are
Added to American Pocketbook
Since Last Summer.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, May l9.-The revival of
the United States lucrative grain ex-
port trade was estimated by merchants
here today to have put approximately
$l25 100000 in the American pocket
book since last summer.
They forecast $30,o0o,OOO to $40
100000 more would accrue to farmers.
grain dealers. railroads and shippers
by the end of the summer as a result
of the booming export trade now
under way.
Grain merchants here, booking q
record-breaking tonnage of corn for
export to foreign countries, were in
the midst of one of the busiest ship
ping seasons since the war Boats
loaded with corn are leaving the Chi
cago port daily with cargoes destined
for Canadian Wharves, where the grain
is reloaded for ocean passage. Much
wheat also is pouring out of elevator
spouts here and at other ports.
Simon Mayer, a former Chicago
Board Of Trade director and leading
exporter, estimated that by the END
of June 100000 bushels of corn will
have been exported since the harvest
of last falls crop. He placed the value
of this corn at about S50000.000 He
estimated an additional 100000 to
100000 bushels would be exported
before October !, principally from
Chicago.
Mayer estimated 9o,ooo0oO bushels
of wheat, valued at about S90,000O 900,
will have cleared by July since the
harvest year ago. Before October /
the value of wheat and corn exported
would aggregate sl65, 100000 or more.

MOTOR DEALERS
REDUCE STOCKS
Prospective Demand Brings
No Hope for Early Jump
in Output.
Pytke Associated Press.

Ey LEe hSSOClhtcQ 1Ieso.
DETROIT, May l9.-Field advices
to sales executives of the motor car
industry show continued decline in
dealers stocks of new cars, but moth
ing in prospective consumer require
ment to justify even hope for a
sizeabie stepping-up of factory activity
in the next several months.
The manufacturing division of the
industry, having adjusted its assembly
lines closely to retail demand, Is oper-
ating at a level that currently is turn
ing out less than half as many units
as were produced year ago. In this
situation the car makers are placing
few orders for additional raw material
A reduction in dealer inventories Is
cited by some of the manufacturers
sales heads as gratifying in that it
shows neW-car demand has not en-
tirely dried up. Against this bit OF
cheer. however. is the fact that used
cars continue to pile up in almost ex-
actly the same ratio as new cars are
sold.
AS a problem of merchandising the
motor car industry's sales executives
have been accustomed to hearing the
used car described as responsible for
much that periodically plaques auto
mobile manufacturer and distributor.
Aside from obstructing neW-car as
semblies and sales, however, it bobs
up now as something manufacturer
and dealer determined eight years ago
would not be permitted to happen
again.
Over allowances on used units Of
fered by would-be purchasers Of new
cars was blamed by manufacturers as
responsible for much of the dealer
mortality that followed the collapse
of the automobile market late in 1929.
In the consultations of manufacturing
authorities that followed, much was
said of the evils of used-car allow
ances, over-production and forced
selling"
Last year the industry encountered
a suddenly expanded retail demand
and met it with a new-car output in
excess of 100000 units. While the
evil of excessive allowances on used
vehicles may not have been as general,
there was a mad scramble for all the
retail business available and the rec
ords of the dealer organizations prove
that relatively few cars were sold
without the acceptance of an old one
as mart paymert therefor.

Japanese Imports From This

BY the Associated Press.
China has increased and Japan has
decreased their respective purchases of
American goods in recent months of
the war, according to the Commerce
Department.
Exports to China. including goods
shipped via Hong Kong and Kwantung,
totaled $22,356,000 in the first quarter
Of 1888 compared with s18,35S,0O0 in
the first quarter of 1887. Japanese
purchases dropped to S62, ,572, 900, COM
pared with s77,322,00 in the similar
period last year.
Both nations, however, sold less
goods to the United States. Chinese
sales dropped to s12,753,000. COM
pared with s32, 100000 last year, while
Japanese sales declined to s3O,312, ,O0t,
compared with s53,718,00o last year.
The department said Japan cut down
sharply on purchases Of American cot
ton, scrap iron and STEEL oil, scrap
copper. automobiles and lumber China
bought more automobiles and parts,
gasoline, copper and cotton.
The major shrinkage in American
purchases from Japan was in raw silk,
sales falling to sl7.536,000 in the first
quarter. compared with s26,435, 900 last
year. United States also bought less
Japanese mink furs, rabbit furs, tea.
crab meat, tuna fish, cotton piece
goods, electric lamps, dishes. rubber
soled footwear and toys.
Experts said the decline in Ameri-
can purchases was due in part to the
slower pace of business activity in the
United States and in part to cancel
lation of orders for Japanese goods
Difficulty of shipping goods out OF
the interior of China was blamed for
smaller American purchases OF
