Stock Averages
60 Stock Range Since 1927
By VICTOR EURANK.
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, May 28.-Aircraft,
rail and farm implement shares
moved upward out of an otherwise
irregular market today under the
impetus of President Roosevelt's
declaration of national policy.
The assorted Improvements came
late in the day, after strikingly
meager dealings. giving the whole
list firm undertone. Transactions
totaled about 100000 shares.
The dearth of any real action was
obviously due to reluctance on the
part of operators to engage in large
scale trading until they were able to
summarize the ramiflcstions of the
state of unlimited emergency.
Among the more active gamers
were Consolidated Aircraft, United
Aircraft, Douglas, Glenn Martin.
Sperry, Lockheed. International
Harvester, Oliver Farm, Southern
Railway, Union Pacific, Amerada,
Continental Baking and Interna-
tlonal Paper preferred.
The last three established new
highs for the year. On the loggy side
were Youngstown, Westinghouse,
Western Union, Cerro de Pasco,
Armstrong Cork and South Porto
Rico Sugar. the last two reaching
new 1941 lows.

Kansas Harvest Hands Gel
Best Pay in 10 Years
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOPEKA, Kans.. May 28.-Kansas
harvest labor is being offered the
best pay in 10 years to handle the
pumper wheat crop pushing toward
maturity.
Surveys by the State Employment
Service show shortage of farm
labor for the first time since 1928.
The national defense drain on
Kansas workers coupled with a
prospective best yield in 10 years is
giving Western planters a worry.
Twenty-Five Southwestern counties
have indicated they possibly will
need an additional 5000 men to
harvest the grain, preliminary
studies indicate.
Questionnaires sent to farmers
show they already are contracting
for combine operators and are offer
ing 81 day. Other harvest hands
are expected to draw s4 to IS with
room and board. Such harvest
wages haven't been paid since the
1881 heavy wheat crop.
Motion picture trailers are being
shown in theaters throughout the
Western area urging persons to reg
lister for harvest work.

Conspiracy TO Block
Allegheny Control Of
{. & 0. Charged
Young and Kirby Claim
Balls Store Sale
Was Part of Plan
By the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, May 28.-Mil-
1ionaire George A. Ball was accused
today Of selling two Clevelanders
department store at far less than
value because they "conspired" to
block Allegheny Corps two highest
officials from controlling the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Railway system.
The charge was made by Chair
man Robert R. Young and President
Allan P. Kirby of Allegheny Corp.
in a Federal Court suit seeking to
divest Charles A. Bradley and John
P. Murphy from control of the Hib-
bee Co., leading Cleveland de-
partment store.
-Four years ago Young, Kirby and
an associate contracted to pay Balls
charitable foundation s6,375 O0l for
controlling securities in the Allie
ghany Railroad realm-including c.
& O.-and for Cleveland realty Sc
curities.
Young and Kirby said they re-
tanned Bradley and Murphy in po-
sltlons OF responsibility and author
lty" in the rail empire at Balls
urging, but the two men then con-
splred with Ball to deprive the buy
ers of control of the c. & q. system.
I'm consideration of the collabora-
tion," the suit continued Bail sold
Bradley and Murphy control of the
Higbee Co. for ,00O-"far less
than the amount which defendant
Ball knew the plaintiffs were willing
to pay for said securities. and far
less than the then value thereof"
The suit asked that Bradley and
Murphy be ordered TO deliver to
Young and Kirby "all their right,
title and interest in" the Higbee
securities upon being reimbursed
for their advancementS in such
amount as to the court seems just"
Ball is Muncie 1nd) fruit jar
maker and industrialist. Bradley
is chairman of Erie Railroad Co.,
and Murphy was personal attorney
for o. P. Van Sweringen. Their
alleged actions concerned a 1888
deadlock on the directorate of
