CHICAGO, Sept 20.-Demon-
strating the markets sensitivlty TO
political discussion affecting price
control legislation. wheat quotations
tumbled almost cents a bushel
today, but then rallied to recover
practically all of the loss.
Rye and oats dropped more than
2 cents, corn more than cent and
soybeans more than 4 cents before
rallying with wheat.
Early selling was associated with
war news and general trade uneasi-
ness due partly, brokers said, to
yesterdays advocacy by Bernard
Baruch of all-inclusive price
ceilings no higher than parity,
except possibly for some upward
adjustments, if necessary. When
this selling had been absorbed, how
ever, the market rallied, after a
statement of Senator Bankhead.
who took a view opposite that of
Baruch and expressed belief no bill
can pass the Senate this session
that would fix prices at less than
ITO per cent of parity.
Wheat closed unchanged to s.
lower compared with yesterday; De-
cember, 1.201s-1.197s; May, 1-24-

New York Cotton
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Cotton
futures prices moved sluggishly into
lower ground today. Active hedge
selling, commission house and new
Orleans liquidation were depressing
factors.
The O. P. A. ruling yesterday
tying textile prices to spot cotton
quotations, received a favorable re-
action but mill accounts liquidated
against the large sales of spot cotton
in the South.
Quotations declined as much as
S170 a bale on increasing uncer-
tainties over price control legislation
and developments on the Russian
front.
Reports of a tropical storm of
severe dimensions headed for the
cotton belt aided sentiment some
what and renewed trade demand
checked the downturn.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20-The Asso-

tivity declined this week to 1897

The decline reflected the failure
of industrial production, already at

usual fall gain.
Freight carloadings and electric
power production showed wide gains
over the preceding holiday week, but
in each case the increase was less
than the normal seasonal amount.
Steel production dropped slightly.

though only the voices Of these
three actors will be used.
The players in this R-K-O-Radio

starred in The Biscuit Eater;
Claude Allister, famed for his comic
Englishman roles, and Barnett
Parker, well known character actor.
The title Of the Disney feature,
in which Robert Benchley plays the
leading role, is taken from a short
story titled The Reluctant Dragon" "
by Kenneth Grahame. In the Dis
ney picture, this story Is shown as
an animation sequence, and is a
highly amusing parody on st.
George and the Dragon. Parker's
voice is used for that Of the Dragon,
Allister's for that of Sir Giles, a
dragon-killing knight, and Billy
Lees for that OF the little boy In
the story.

not to action in the field"

Admiral Keyes disclosed that he
was relieved of his leadership of the
commandos five weeks ago, al
though the fact was not published
until November Is.
"One reason suggested for my dis
missal," he said, was that 1 was

command of such a force does not
necessarily mean leading it into

In the words Of Miss Elliott. the
consumers now must turn that
backward art Of spending money
into a protective art of building
family strength and security. We
must bring the art of spending
money up to the scientific level Of
the arts Of production" Also:
I'VE must get our merchants to
cooperate with us by giving US
more adequate and more useful in
formation about the goods we buy"
Whether the desire for more in
formation by merchants means in
reference with the normal processes
of advertising is nowhere set forth
clearly IN public o. P. A. statements.
The aims are expounded with no
exposition of the means, SO that
some confusion is created. Leon
Henderson touched on this phase
of consumer relations in the United
States in a recent speech at Hot
Springs. Va, when he said that you
don't expect me to tell you that
advertising is not going to suffer
in this defense program" But he
did not say how it was to suffer.
Looks to Future.
Administrator Henderson has
sought at all times to indicate
that whatever he does at o. P. A.
is done to meet the emergency
The consumers division, however,
looks into the future and reminds
us that what is done now is not
likely to be undone later. Miss
Elliott told an audience in Harris
burg:
I'VE cannot organize the whole Of
our social and economic life around
struggle Of the proportions of
this one and tomorrow put things
back where they were When Hit
ler's challenge has been answered,
We will hold in our hands not only
victory but the weapons with which
that victory has been won-the
civilian as we'll as the military
weapons. The civilian weapons
are forged from our lives and will
become themselves a good or a bad
heritage"
Miss Elliott is concerned with Civ
ing us what she is sure is a good
heritage. Among the warnings
sounded by her is one against the
manufacturers of consumer goods
who, she thinks, TRY to conceal
rising prices by keeping the price
the same, but by putting cheaper
materials into the goods"
Aim: Intelligent Shoppers.
She has launched a great pro-
gram to turn the American woman
into an intelligent shopper. Par,
Of the consumers division work
is purely International. For in
stance, every week the o. P. A.
issues a bulletin Of good buys
in foods for designated areas, based
on reports telegraphed to Tenn
porary Building E by Army Quar-
termaster Corps buying bases. This
bulletin is picked up by the press
associations and passed on to the
papers in the affected areas. For
instance, the Baltimore bulletin OF
November IA said:
Housewives looking for the best
fruit and vegetable buys IN the
Baltimore area should incluoe Irish
