NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Chemicals
Joined steels and rails today in a
lifting movement which steadied
the stock market.
Small experimental orders early
in the short session disclosed fairly
firm price structure. Later trading
in slightly increased volume, brought
gains of major fractions or more

Transactions totaled about O,0OO
shares.
On the advancing side were Dow

States Steel, Bethlehem. Great

Gamers in the curb included

In the bond market rails and in
dustrials rose a little. Others were

Interest in steel shares was height
ened by a trade estimate that the
present steel inventory accumula-
tion-the largest on record at the
close of Augustus nearing COM
pletion."
1t was reported that for the last
three months steel ingots were pro-
duced at rate exceeding steel con-
sumption by about 35 per cent, but
that the auto industry has been
using steel at only about Is per cent
the rate it will attain next month
in peak production.
Also. it was suggested, the increaS-

likely to cut constantly larger

I.B. A. Demands Place
For financier on

President ConneIy
And Other Officials
Urge Action
BY EDWARD c. STONE.


President Emmet F. Connely of
the Investment Bankers Associa-
ton of America and other associa-
ton officials are pressing the de-
mand for appointment to the Gov
ernment's Advisory Defense Coun-
Gil of one member charged with the
responsibility of supervising finance,
members of the association asserted
here today.
The council now includes indus
trialists concentrating on produc-
ton and experts in labor relations,
prices and other parts of our eco
nomlc pattern, President Connely
points out. but no one has been
charged with the responsibility of
supervising finance and keeping
capital flowing into vital industries
that must expand to handle the
national defense program. The re-
suit is that private investment capi-
tai is stymied, Mr.. Connely claims,
Washington members are in full
accord with the move and are
using their efforts to secure such
an appointment. This is the first
important step taken by the as
sociation since recent passage in
Congress of the law reducing the
20-day waiting period by the Sc
curities and Exchange Commission
In connection with new issues
Members of the association con-
but point to the fact that reduc-
ing the period is only optional. If
the commission takes the full 20
days before approving an issue the
market for new securities may have
changed entirely during that time
The investment bankers hope later
to get the period reduced to five
days or some such time, so that
they may put out new issues be-
fore there are important changes

here today

Just few months ago, "Shag"

was propitious: Even the heavens
smiled. 1t was a fine autumnal

HERE'S MORE ABOUT
Thomas 4. Dewey


Continued from Page one)
yer and public official greatly en-
HANGED.
When public olamor on the part
of civic and welfare agencies fore
cd Governor Lehman TO name n
prosecutor to succeed District At
torney Dodge In Investigating poll
tics and crime In New York coun-
ty, he named Dewey TO do the job.
Here again Dewey proved his true
Amerlcanism. In assembling his
staff to do this arduous work he
named two outstanding Negroes,
In the persons OF Eunice Hunton
Carter, a graduate of Smith and
lfordham Universities, and Fran
els Rivers. graduate of Yale. He
departed from the Tammany me-
thod of naming Negro and iso-
lating him In some dark spot. He
Immediately assigned Carter and
Rivers to key posts in his set-up
and gave them salaries common
surate with their positions.
Tho splendid work accomplished
by Dewey and his staff is fresh In
the minds of every New Yorker.
In convicting and driving to cover
extortionlsts, loan sharks, labor
racketeers, number bankers, dope
peddlers, gun-toters, "shake-down"
gangsters, corrupt public officials
and politicians, he did Harlem n
signal service, for IL was in under
privileged Harlem that many of
these notorious characters practic-
ed and thrived their nefarious
deeds.
Harlem Is now convinced that
Tom Dewey is a District Attorney
for all the people, regardless of
race, creed or color. When Dewey
ran against Hastings, Tammany
designee for District Attorney for
New York County in 1886, it was
the Negro vote he received that
helped to make his election a land
slide. In true Dewey fashion, he
carried with him in his new posi-
ton Carter and Rivers. He APP
pointed them to the highest posi-
tons, paying them the largest sal
aries, ever held by Negro in the
history of the District Attorneys
office. 1t is a common sight to OBJ
serve these two Negroes prosecut-
ing cases in the Courts of General
and Special Sessions.
Dewey reached the epitome of
his success as a District Attorney
when he busted the Dutch Shultz
ang and convicted Jimmy Hines.
These acts have done more to
rid New York County and Harlem,
in particular, of gang rule and
corrupt politics than any other
factor
In the 1888 election for Govern
or, Dewey cut into the Democratic
ranks to the extent that Governor
Lehman defeated him only by
$4,000 votes. If the Democratic
party had named any other candi-
date than Lehman and Poletti,
