By VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, March 28.-The
stock market craft slipped its moor
ings for losses of l to 3 points today,
but steadied in late dealings as light
support appeared.
While closing prices were above
the lows in many cases, real come
back stamina was lacking A mod
erately active first hour turned into
a sluggish performance and trans
fers approximated 100000 shares.
The somewhat weatherbeaten ex-
cuse of renewed foreign tension"
was dragged out in brokerage quar-
tiers to explain the days downward
drift, but it was also suggested busi-
ness news was none too heartening
and that Washington developments
provided scant stimulation for
speculative and investment forces.
Falling prices in the first hour
followed weakness of stocks in Lon
don. Other European markets were
shaky.
Tending to chill buying ardor both
here ana abroad, it was said. was
fresh uneasiness over German-Poiish
relations, doubts as to whether
France and Italy could adjust their
differences peacefully, and questions
regarding the political effects of the
fall of Madrid, which virtually sig
nailed the end of the Spanish civil
war.
A move toward recovery in stocks
came when Prime Minister Cham
berlain told the House of Commons
his government was still discussing
with other nations means of halting
the Hitler aggression
Principal share losers included
United States Steel, Bethlehem,
General Motors, Chrysler, Douglas
Aircraft, Boeing, United States Rub
Der, Sears Roebuck, Westinghouse.
Du Pont, Allied Chemical, Ameri-
can Smelling and Standard Oil Of

Elliott Roosevelt Calls
For Leadership in Texas
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
FORT WORTH, Tex, May o.
Elliott Roosevelt said last night
Texas needed leadership after the
tradition of its pioneer statesmen
and added that any subdivision OF
its vast area into several States
would be of doubtful value
In his semi weekly radio broad
cast, the Presidents son recalled
that the treaty which annexed Tex
as to the United States contained q
provision that the State might, at
its own discretion, be divided into
five separate States.
He said Vice President Garner,
while in Congress, had attempted
such division, and that two years
ago a similar movement was started
in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
Referring to Mr.. Gamers pro-
posal, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
His purpose. as 1 understood it,
was political expediency. But he
got nowhere with the idea"
The most recent attempt at di-
vision gained nothing but a little
press notoriety," he asserted.
But Texas has demonstrated, not
only on those two occasions, but Il:
many other ways that she will re-
main as one great State. No. it is
not division of our area that we
ned at the present time; it Is COM
petent leadership over what we have

End Of Be|ow-Cost
Selling Sought by
Luggage Dealers
Prohibition of Members
From Such Practice
Held LeeoI

More than 100 luggage and leather
goods manufacturers from many
parts of the country today were
planning measures whereby selling
below cost might be prohibited
within the membership of the Lug
gage and Leather Goods Manufac-
turers of America, Inc.
The trade association, in a three
day session at Wardman Park Hotel
was told yesterday that prohibition
of its members from such practice is
not considered in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
The current convention revolves
mainly around establishment of fair
trade practices within the industry.
David Silbert, counsel for the Chi
cago Luggage Manufacturers Asso-
citation, yesterday told the leather
manufacturers that recent Supreme
Court decisions have made 1t pos
sible for individuals in an industry
to band together in restraint of cut
throat competition for the good of
the industry without having their
action constitute restraint of trade
or setting up of a monopoly. Mr.
Silbert pointed out that from his ex-
perience selling below cost exists to
a marked degree in the leather in
dustry and could lead only to ruin
in the long run.
Prior to Mr.. Silbert's talk the
organization had heard the advan-
tages of trade associations discussed
by Andrew J. Haire, president OF the
Rotary Club of New York.
Other addresses on trade prac-
tices were heard yesterday and
again today Intermingled with
these have been business sessions
and committee reports since the
convention opened Sunday night.
Tonight at 7 o'clock the organiza-
ton was to hold its annual banquet
and tomorrow the manufacturers
were again to delve into the prob
lens of bettering trade practices in
their industry. Election of officers
and directors for the coming year
was also scheduled for tomorrow.
Hope was expressed at the ses-
sions that the ground work for a set
of trade practice regulations to be
administered by the trade associa-
ton could be worked out at this
convention.

the score board to read 1-3 in
favor of the Key West aggrega-

Although the first three in

ing down, it was evident that
Adams Trojans would walk
away with the game after the
first-half of the fourth round
saw the Red Devils hitting the
ball at will and scoring two runs
every other inning until the
count of seven was reached. The
Sox's only tally came in in the
fifth inning when a wild throw
to third base by William Gates
allowed Ralph Arnold to cross
the pan.
Diaz hurled good ball for the
Sox but the Trojans had the old
eye on the pill and clouted IL
hits, three of which were credit
ed to third baseman Kelly.

he held the hard-hitting Sox
players to six safeties.

There remains the fact as to
whether the umpire could change
