SEEK TO SETTLE
DEMOCRATIC RIFT
Pennsylvania Women Call
Meeting Tomorrow in
Harmony Move.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa, May 23.-Dem-
ocratic women of Pennsylvania today
assumed the role of peacemakers in
an effort to heal the bitter rift in the
party caused by the two-f1sted primary
campaign.
Peace moves shifted from Harrisburg
and Washington to Pittsburgh with
an invitation to divided party leaders
to meet tomorrow night at banquet
given by the Pennsylvania Federation
Of Democratic Women.
Invited were United States Senator
Joseph F. Guffey. and Gov. George H.
Earle, Charles Alvin Jones and other
candidates on the winning ticket Sen
ator Guffey opposed at the polls last
Tuesday.
Senator Guffey has remained silent
on his attitude for a united front for
the fall campaign since Gov. Earle won
the Democratic nomination for United
States Senator and Mr.. Jones, Pitts
burgh attorney, gained the guberna-
torial nomination over 1t. Gov.
Thomas Kennedy, who was backed by
Senator Guffey and c. I. o. Chief John
L. Lewis.
(Senator Guffey, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania said today he prob
ably would be unable to attend a
banquet of the Pennsylvania Fed
Grafton of Democratic Women at
Pittsburgh tomorrow night because
there was so much to do here"
Geaders of rival factions in the
recent primary had been invited to
attend the banquet in an effort to
compose party differences.
(Mr. Guffey, who supported the
losing ticket, again declined to dis
cuss the Pennsylvania political sit
uation.)
Others invited to the banquet, held
as part of the federation's annual con-
vention, were State Chairman David
L. Lawrence, who split with Senator
Guffey, his long time political associate,
over Mr.. Jones; Mrs. Edith Dewitt,
State vice chairman, who was on Mr..
Kennedys ticket as a candidate for
the nomination for secretary of inter-
nal affairs; and Mrs. Emma Guffey
Miller, Democratic national committee
woman, who joined her brother in
supporting Mr.. Kennedy.
Out of series of conferences among
party leaders in Washington over the
week end came statement by Walter
A. Jones, Pittsburgh oil man, indors-
ing party nominees.
Mr.. Jones, who supported Mr.. Ken
nedy at the primary, said the first
team" has been selected and "the bal
ance of the squad will promptly line
up solid"
Edward N. Jones, who helped direct
Mr. Kennedy's campaign, told Wash
ington newsmen, however, We're 60
ing to wait until those fellows get it
into their heads that they didn't win a
victory. but got hell kicked out if
them"
Gov. Earle extended an olive branch
OF mo reprisals" to the losers in the
primary battle, but said he had re-
ceived no word from Senator Guffey OF
Mr.. Kennedy and had no idea whether
the Democratic ticket would receive
the support of Mr.. Lewis and his c.
I. o. forces.
Mr.. Kennedy has yet also to define
his position. He said last week he
wished to "catch my breath" before
making decision. He polled $4,000
votes and lost to Mr.. Jones by $4,000,

CLIMBS FURTHER
Weeks Gain Leaves Sales
Only 10 to 10 Per Cent
Under Year AGO.
Ey the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. July 1.-Retail buying
In leading centers this week averaged
1 to 8 per cent over last week and 10
to Is per cent under 4 year ago for
the country as whole, Dun & Brad
street reported today.
Wholesale trade experienced q sud-
den uplift in volume. which came to
within to IS per cent Of the 1887
mark for the week.
Start Of the summer tourist trade
already was noticeable In enlarged re.
ceipts Of some retailers" the credit
agency said. In many instances, sales
Of this type Of merchandise exceeded
1887 totals for the comparable period.
"Storewide clearances Of women's
and misses dresses, summer sweaters,
millinery, daytime and dinner frocks,
and mems sports suits, shirts, swim
trunks. underwear and shoes con-
tributed heavily to the weeks ex-
panded volume.
Electric refrigerators, washers and
ranges with deep price cuts moved
we'll. There also was more interest in
furniture, home furnishings, linens,
china and glassware. Portable radios
were in steady call"
Regarding wholesale buying, the
agency added:
Empty shelves forced more retail
ers into the principal wholesale mar
kets, giving sudden uplift to volume,
which made the strongest advance of
any of the trade divisions in some
cities.
Prospects for bumper crops in most
OF the farm areas appeared to have .
cheering effect on small-town mer-
chants, which was revealed in the
freer release Of orders, many Of which
should have been placed months ago
With retailers inventories in near
ly all lines of general merchandise at
q low ebb, and in some instances un-
der last years, buying in all whole
sale markets assumed an air Of greater
freedom, accomplished by feeling Of
more security in price trends.
Advance commitments were released
with less caution, particularly by those
buyers whose original orders for the
fall season had been light, and under
requirements. Coverage beyond 90
days was rare"

REDUCES SD|V|DEND
Orders 35 Cents a Share
Against IS Cents Paid
in Previous Quarters.

by the Assoclated PreSs.
NEW YORK, July 1.-Directors OF
Chesapeake Corp, yesterday declared
q dividend of 35 cents q share on the
common stock payable July is to hold
ers of record July IL. In previous
quarters recently IS cents a share has
been paid.
The lower payment ordered at this
time was apparently affected by the
fact that Chesapeake & Ohio Rail-
way Co., of which Chesapeake Corp.
owns over 2,0o0, 900 shares, recently re-
duced its common dividend from IS
cents to IS cents.
John P. Murphy, secretary, said fol-
lowing the meeting, future dividend
policy would depend on developments
affecting proposed dissolution of the
corporation.
Controlled by Young.
Chesapeake Corp. Is the middle
holding company in the old Van Swer-
ingen rail system, now controlled by
Robert r. Young. Young has said he
feels Chesapeake should be dissolved
and its assets distributed to its stock
holders. the principal Of which Is
Allegheny Corp. top holding company
Of the system In which he is q DOM
inant factor.
Murphy said tax problems are a
chief barrier to speeding work on the
dissolution problem. The proposal is
still in the discussion stage, Murphy
said
Young disclosed last night the board
had approved employment Of Murphy
as secretary-treasurer of Chesapeake
Corp. over his protest.
THE thing this board ought to be
doing Is dissolving Chesapeake Corp,
but instead its only action has been
to add to the expenses of the company
by employing Murphy" he asserted.
Makes Letter Public.
Young made public q letter he sent
to directors yesterday, opposing en-
ployment OF Murphy. The letter said
in part:
1T Is clear that if the directors of
the Chesapeake Corp. vote compensa-
ton to Mr.. Murphy, under the cir
cumstances, they will be accomplishing
essentially the objective of rewarding
Mr.. Murphy for his past services to
the Guaranty Trust Co. in furtherine
the private and selfish ends Of that
institution not primarily as trustee. but
in It's capacity as a Morgan afiliated
bank. 1t is equally clear that such
action will be contrary to the interests
OF the stockholders Of Chesapeake
Corp"
According to Young. Murphy Is to
receive salary at the rate Of $4,000
per annum."
