PORTRAIT OF A MAN TRYING
 TO STAY AWAKE
 From the New York Journal American: ''The way I understand it the President will go on the air at 9:30 Sunday night. He is taking a terrific chance of Winchell declar- ing war ahead of him."
 Ex-SenatOr Rush HOlt's quote: '"He's gents room journalist"

 James Mclean, in Miami paper: "A bow to Walter Winchell for the most dramatic news presentation. Not only does he strive for the spec tacular, but constantly holds to a top standard of accuracy"
 From the Rochester (N. Y.) Demo- crat-C Chronicle: "He should stick to his blessed events and leave the affairs of State to MT. Hull"
 ''He is g brilliant bore He is @ menace He is inaccurate. His alleged scoops were not really scoops Something should be done about his Success-it is revolt ing. He once wrote a letter to Neville Chamberlain-imagine his nerve?"-St. Clair McKelway in The New Yorker.
 "GOssip-writing is an irresponsible form of journalism-the dissemina- tion of rumor, half-truth, suspicion, unverified reports and innuendo And yet his influence as thinker, molder of public opinion, and what ever else he may be, probably is greater today than ever before. At any rate, the number of newSpa- pers that take his stuff cnstantly increases, and his radio popularity shows no signs of diminution :. Has he done more good than harm? Has he really been a potent influ- ence in arouSing the U. S. to face certain grave perils, and is he, therefore, in the end, a great public benefactor? It may well be."-S. Walker, in The New Republic.
 Hes a warmOnger who should be taken off the air."-Senator Burton K. Wheeler.
 T want you to know that there are hundreds of clergymen who ap- preciate the work you are doing to rid this country of those undesir- ables who are trying to undermine those things which we beleive are essential to good government. More power to you in your efforts to bring those Americans Most Ameri- cans Can Do Without! into the open. Keep up the good fight, If sometimes you get bit discour- aged and the opposition is deal- ing some pretty heavy blows-re- member there are thousands of us who believe as you believe.

Increasing Control
OF Steel Supply
Is Expected
Little Heodwoy Made
In Reducing Huge
Order BockIoes
Bv the Associated Press.

bN tfe ASSOClhleu fIeSSs
NEW YORK, April 19.-Some
financial sources said today that
gradual extension of Government
control over the steel supply to give
defense industry the right-of-way
might be expected.
Recent action of defense author
tiles to ration nickelbearing steels
was seen as a forerunner of addi-
tional similar steps as demand from
war industry increased and crowded
ordinary requirements.
Despite near-capacity operation of
steel mills in recent months, little
headway has been made in reducing
huge backlogS of untitled orders, it
was pointed out. Galvanized sheets
we're mentioned among products
rated as scarce in relation TO the
demand.
1t was reported Gano Dunn.
consultant in the Office of Produc-
ton Management at Washington,
was preparing a new supply-demand
study on steel capacity, which was
expected to revise the original find
ings in some details.
The report might be finished
around May l, it was said.
Events in other metal markets
this week continued to turn on
Washington and needs of the de-
fense program.
Zinc producers agreed with the
priorities division of the Office of
Production Management that about
10000 tons of metal be added to
the emergency pool for use next
month. Meanwhile, producers con-
tinued strict ALLEGATION of available
supplies and held prices at 725 cents
a pound, East st. Louis.
Copper men, who have been ex-
pecting the Government would an
nounce a II cents a pound ceiling"
for the metal, got through another
week without this announcement.
1t was thought imminent after
the action of the Office of Price
Administration late last week ask
ing members of the Commodity Ex-
change here to report the amount
of actual metal and open futures
contracts they held. A similar move
in regard to zinc preceded aboli-
ton of futures dealings in that
metal.
Lead held steady at the pegged
price of $40, St. Louis. Consumer
buying continued brisk
The pig iron supply situation
continued tight as the coke short
age, growing out of the soft coal
stoppage, became admittedly serious.
There were some reports in the
trade that higher pig iron prices
might be in the offng.

Growing Opposition
ToFarm Spending
Depresses Cotton
Partial Recovery Loid
To Short Covering
And Trade Demand
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 19.-Cotton
futures closed 2 to 6 points lower
today on selling which traders said
was generated by Washington re-
ports of increased opposition to
agricultural and other non-defense
expenditures.
Selling orders came out in largest
volume early in the session, forcing
values down around 6 points. Pres
sure subsidized shortly thereafter, and
demand improved a bit, with some
contracts recovering part of lost
ground.
Bombay and commission house
liquidation, together with moderate
hedge selling by Southern spot in
terests, provided ample contracts to
satisfy buyers.
Trade and mill interest bought
cotton on the scale-down, and some
professional buying was attracted
by lower levels.
Worth street completed its fourth
week of dull business.

CHICAGO, April 19.-The wheat
markets decline was checked to-
day by forecast of freezing tenn
peratures in Kansas, giving rise to
fear of possible damage to winter
wheat.
Prices fell about a cent early in
the session to 8914 for May and

Early selling of wheat was in

loan program.
Moisture was spread through
much of the spring wheat and hard

districts, with heavy SHOWS reported

NEW YORK, April 19.-Stock
prices generally softened again to-
day as the market edged out of
another declining week with per-
sistene apprehension over war de-
velopments.
Numerous lows for the past 10
months or longer again were reg
istered in exceptionally quiet deal
ings. but losses on the whole were
in minor fractions and scattered
recoveries were in evidence at the
close.

Drying up of selling was moder-
ately comforting to forces that be-
lieve the list has pretty well dis
counted a lot of bad foreign and

Other Worries Felt.
Aside from fears of a market
shock in the event of an eventual
defeat of the British and Greeks
in the Balkans. hardicaps remained,
brokers said, in the shape of wor-
ries over climbing taxes, Govern
ment controls and restricted con-
sumner production in many industries
as defense needs assume priority.
General Motors was off "a of
point in the wake of the company's
announcement changes of models
