Washington No Boom Town,
Civic Leaders Reply to Dewey

A minor wave Of resentment
among Capital civic leaders con-
tinued today as Washingtonians
came to the defense Of their city,
termed q boom town" In a speech
last night by Thomas E. Dewey, Re-
publican presidential candidate, In
Oklahoma City, Okla.
The New York district attorney
declared at political rally last
night that Washington was boom
town" where "the administration has
spent millions of dollars" to provide
its employees with monumental Of
fees"
Typical of the retorts today was
that of Lawrence E. Williams, presi-
dent OF the Board of Trade. He
stated: 'Pay rolls here have re-
manned relatively level, which hard
ly indicates a boom. Washington
and vicinity have increased in pop
ulation, of course, but that likewise
does not mean boom. The city,
fortunately, has no need of booms. :"
"Mr.. Dewey has been poorly ad-
vised of the number Of Government
employees working in Washington, 4"
he added.
The Associated Press quoted Mr..
Dewey as saying: "The number of
Government employees has been IN
creased from $4,000 to $4,000 dur
ing the last seven years. The
administration has spent millions of
dollars to provide these employees
with monumental Offices"
An official of the Civil Service
Commission pointed out that, while
the figures quoted by the New York
attorney were substantially correct,
he had overlooked the fact that
seven times as many Government
workers are employed in Offices other

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

.
NEW YORK, April 13-Special-
ties were given buying push in
today's stock market, while most
leaders were left to founder on
a lower shelf.
Trends were ragged from the
start and irregularity persisted to
the close. Favored the greater part
of the time were paper, sugar, pack
ing and oil issues. Lacking support
were steels, aircraftS, rubbers and
coppers
Dealings turned active occa-
sionally, although sloWdowns were
frequent. Transfers were around
100000 shares.
The question of who's winning"
in the European war kept most Wall
Street quarters in an argumentative
stew and the result was that, with
definite information lacking, the
inclination was to avoid getting too
far out on limb either way. Busi-
ness news was more hopeful than
otherwise, but even good items
failed to excite traders.

or longer with gains of fractions to
a point or more at the best-some

no minimum balance, checkbooks
are furnished patrons and 5 cents

similar plans, the banks only re-
quirenient is that the depositors
have sufficient funds on deposit to
cover the checks drawn. The
new service will be in addition to
the banks existing checking account
facilities, Mr.. White explained.
