Funds for Promotions

James B. Burns, president OF the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees. appealed to the
House Appropriations Committee
yesterday to adopt the Budget Bu-
reau's recommendation that $3,000,-
900 be provided for increased pro-
motions in the Government service.
In a letter to members of the COM
mittee asking that hearings be held
on the subject Mr.. Burns declared
that for almost a decade promotions
''have been few and irregular"
I'VE deeply appreciate the atti-
tude of many of the members OF
your committee in favor of segre-
CATION of the unused personnel bal
ances for promotion purposes. but
realize that a complete establish
ment of uniformity cannot be at
tanned without additional funds"
his letter said. SO Nothing will
more greatly improve the merit
system at this time than this recog-
milton of faithful service on the
part of thousands of Government
servants who have been laboring in
season and out to establish the best
public service in the world"

Wender on Suffrage

Opposition to any reduction In the
personnel of the District Fire De-
partment was voted by the Randle
Highlands Citizens Association last
night after it was charged that such
a reduction would increase the flre
hazard and work hardship on other
fremen, The resolution was adopted
unanimously.
A motion presented by Arthur B.
Hanson, chairman of the Laws and
Legislation Committee, opposing any
increase in the District gasoline tax
was passed.
Wender Speaks on Suffrage.
Harry S. Wender. vice president
of the Federation Of Citizens Asso-
Citations, spoke on suffrage, opposing
the accidental form of government
that has grown up over a period of
years in the District of Columbia.
He stated the District of Columbia
Suffrage Association would not ac-
cept any form of reorganization in
the District government that does
not include local suffrage.
Local and national representation
are wanted by people of the Dis
trict, Americans" Mr.. Wender said,
land we are going to fight until we
get both. There is no reason why
we cannot live and vote as other
people all over the United States
do. Treatment of residents of the
District is un-American."
T. z. Carroll reported on the last

Coasting Danger Cited.
1t. j. L. Norris of No. II police
precinct spoke on the danger of chill

necessity of policemen to watch and
guard them He said at least three
men should be at each street where
shedding takes up two blocks or
more, and this means these police
men are called away from their
regular duties and would not be able
to police the city properly. He sug-
gested that government-owned
property or private property should
be supplied for the sledders. Adle-
bert w. Lee, association president,
stated he would appoint committee
to confer with 1t. Norris to work out
q solution.
The sum of S. was voted to help
defray expenses of the dedication of
the John Philip Sousa Bridge.

citation were T. A. Curran. Charles

NEW YORK. July 22.-A serious
enigma confronts investors in con-
nection with the huge preparedness
program to which the Government
is committed which makes it I'M
perative for them to increase their
incomes in sufficient measure to
absorb the higher costs Of living and
higher taxes, both Of which are un-
avoidable certainties. writes Louis
Guenther in the current issue of the
weekly Financial World.
Mr.. Guenther predicts a coming
industrial boom based upon q A.
billion-dollar defense expenditure.
Investors incomes can be adjusted
to the future situation by choosing
equities in the form Of dividend
yielding stocks in the country's s
soundest corporations with we'll
established earnings records, he says
corporations with enterprising and
aggressive arrangements and which
are engaged in industries that should
directly or indirectly benefit from
defense preparations.
Thus, investors would best guard
themselves against capital deprecia-
ton and fortify themselves to meet
the increased taxes with which they
will be assessed.

Early Apple Demand

Special Dispatch to The Star,

WINCHESTER, Va, July 22-
Large quantities of yellow trans
parent and other early apples have
been shipped by truck to Florida
and other Southern States from
this area the past two weeks, and
those of the commercial growers
who gave space to such varieties In
planting orchards some years ago
feel quite well repaid for the ven-
ture.
The early crop this year has been
one OF the largest in many years,
and excellent prices have been OBJ
tanned for the fruit. It was the first
time in recent years, growers said,
that so many apples had been sold
during July in the Far South. There
was also large and active demand
for the summer fruit in the Middle
West and Northern States.

Cotton Futures Saq

Slow Week
Spot Price Declines

Season Approaches
DOLLARS PER
FOUND STsNlN0
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Old and
new type July cotton futures con-
tracts fluctuated widely before trad
ing in them ceased last Wednesday
but the price movements of new
crop futures calling for deliveries in
October and subsequent months
were much more moderate. The
prices for new crop futures showed
net losses for the week from 13 to
IS points. Spot cotton declined
more in consequence of the near
approach of the harvesting of the
new crop.
Trading interest was low in both
spot and futures markets, rejecting
the sloWness of domestic cloth mar
kets and the very limited volume
of cotton sales for export. Specu-
latlve interest was restricted by
the European war and uncertainty
as to Government loan rates on the
new crop.
Loan Rates Awaited.
The trade has been hoping for
an early announcement of new crop
loan rates, but it is not likely to be
made until Congress passes the oil
providing for an increase in the
borrowing power of the Commodity
Credit Corp. 1t is reported that
there has been pressure from the
South for loan rate much higher
than that last season, but that au-
thorities in Washington have re-
sisted such pressure. However, in
view of the political situation the
thought persists in numerous quar-
tiers that rate somewhat higher
than last year will be named.
The greatest fear in the trade is
that a large crop or an increase in
the Government loan rate would
bring price control by Government
loan operations rather than by
supply and demand factors.
The domestic crop is entering its
most critical stage The trade
generally inclines to the view thai
the outlook is for yield per acre
below the average of recent years.
However, it is recognized that If
the weather should be favorable in
the next few weeks yield prospects
could rise to the average level or
even higher.
Cotton Cloth Lower.
With spot cotton prices tending
downward prices of unfinished COT
ton cloth tended to work lower
last week, but business done in un-
finished cloths was hardly sufficient
to test values. It still is thought
generally that a sufficiently large
volume of cloth business will come
forward in the next few months to
maintain mill activity at a very
high level, but users and distribu-
tors have not placed large orders.
