NEW YORK, Sept. 3o-(R-The
stock market Monday emerged
from its sharpest declining month
in more than six years with the di-
%rection still moderately lower.
Helpful to sentiment was the fact
that liquidation remained slack
throughout and extreme recessions
of fractions to 3 points or so-a
few "thin'' blue chips dropped as
much as 6-Were reduced in most
cases at the close. There also was
a smattecing of modest plus signs
in evidence. Transfers of i, 1850, 0OO
shares compared with $40, 900 Fri
day and were the second smallest
since late August.
Steels led a retreat at the open
ing but steadied at the last. Rub
bers and rails were relatively soft.
Bears Active
Wall street observers attributed
some liquidation partly to bearinsh-
ness over labor disputes, price con-
trolls, foreign affairs, business pros
poets in coming months and the
changes that a secondary reaction
was a possibility. A little bidding
here and there was credited tc
demand for stocks with favorable
yields and the idea that the list
may be approaching bottom for the
move.

While Senator Bilbo was address
ing a large crowd in the town of
Philadelphia, Miss, Tuesday, small

handing out circulars, announcing
that Comdr. Levings would speak
there the next day Some read the
circulars. others crumpled them up

Comdr. Levings drove into Meri-

Bilbo was addressing about 5000 on

Wears Texas Hat.
Comdr. Levings is campaigning in
a Texas-style hat, given him by
Anon G. Carter, publisher of the
Fort Worth Star Telegram. The
Levings campaign literature points
out that while in the service the
commander raised the Mississippi
flag TO the strains of Dixie aboard
the USS Mississippi, in Tokyo Bay
Although all the candidates but
Mr. Ellis have their campaigns in
full swing, the people generally do
not appear to be greatly excited
over the contest thus far. With
seven weeks to 60 before primary
day, old-timers along the roadsides
say it is too early, that they will not
begin to show lively interest in the
candidates and the issues until a
couple of weeks before the balloting.

and in Prince Georges County" said
the report, lover SO per cent is

Fairfax County presents serious

the remodeling of pasteurizing

amount There is. however, no in

ANY milk too poor to be accepted
for pasteurization in the District,
Arlington or Alexandria can be sold

ulation is one of the reasons for the
unenviable situation in the District.
Such conditions are, however. related
to economic rather than racial fac
tors and are not limited to the Ne
gro population.
Majority White Occupants.
THE 1910 Housing Census showed
that 40 per cent of the District
Negro population and II per cent
of the white population were in
dwellings either in need of ma jor
structural repairs or without inside
water supply. or toilet, or having two
or all of these basic deficiencies.
Actually, more than half of
Washingtons substandard dwellings
are occupied by white families.
Nor is the problem any longer
one of alley dwellings. So much
progress has been made in clearing
up these particular sore spots that
only $50 alleys are left out of an
original $50; and only 1000 of the
10000 families living in substandard
dwellings are in alleys.
We are inclined to consider the
total estimate of 10000 substandard
dwellings as ultra conservative" de-
clared the surveyors. The results
of the census study would suggest
a figure nearer 50,000.'
Making an analysis of the rela-
tlonship of rentals per month to
the status of the dwellings. the
survey comes to the conclusion that
1T seems clear that rentals below
$35 are inadequate to purchase
decent living quarters in the Dis
trict."
Presenting table based on studies
of 81 out of 96 census tracts in
the District, which include both
white and nonwhite inhabitants,
the survey declares: 1T is clear
from this table that the trend
for white and for nonwhite fam

same committee, using the same
standards, the report continued. -
In the Washington block studied,
l3 per cent of the dwellings were
without running water; Al per cent
were without private toilet and

an average of more than Is per

take the GIs, the Marines and the

The Senator does not ignore the
"Bilbonic Plague" crack. Instead,
he retorts:
You know. a plague is a disease.
I think Comdr Levings has got the
Bilbonic plague. l consulted a doc
tor about it, and he tells me Levings
will die of Bilbonic plague on July
D. July 2 is the day the ballots will
be cast.
Only Passing Mention.
The third candidate, State Sena-
tor Frank Harper, gets only a pass
ing mention by Senator Bilbo. The
Senator refers to him by his nick
name "Peachtree" Harper, without
any rancor.
The peach isn't ready to be
plucked. 1 have nothing to say
about him." the Senator observes,
in one of those typical Bilbo lines
that always amuse his rural audi
enceS.
But Senator Bilbo spends good
deal of time, and in friendlier
manner, on the last man to enter
the race against him-Tom O. Ellis,
clerk of the State Supreme Court.
Mr.. Ellis has gained popularity in
fraternal and religious circles
throughout the State, and Senator
Bilbo refers to him as my old
friend, Tom Ellis
Senator Bilbo tells his audiences
that Mr.. Ellis was originally for
him, but was persuaded to enter
the race by some of the Bilbo op-
ponents. after they had failed to
induce Gov. Bailey and several other
Well-knoWn men to become candi-
dates. But the Senator always
makes it clear that he has a high
regard for Mr.. Ellis.
Ellis Lacks Experience"
Tom is a fine fellow, but he's
had no experience" the Senator says,
in benign voice. Then he throws
out the suggestion that if Mr.. Ellis
went to Washington had to deal
with experienced politicians, "he
wouldn't last as long as a SNOWFALL
in hell, and YOU know it." Taking
note of Mr.. Ellis standing in Mis-
sissippi, the Senator goes on:
I'm not going to let Brother Tom
run as a Mason. because when it
comes to Masonry I'm no slouch my
self. I've got all but the 33d de-
gree, and I've followed both the
York and Scottish rites.
I'm not going to let him run as
a Baptist, because when it comes
to being a Baptist I'm as strong
as horse-radish.
I'm not going to let him take the
railroad boys away from me, be-
cause while he was a train dis
patcher, was a news butch, riding
on the trains, working my way
through school" (Railroad workers
are probably the largest organized
group in the State.)
Mr.. Ellis did not put his hat in the
ring until the last minute before
filing time closed a week ago, and
will not begin his campaign until
this week end.
Guided by Scripture.
Senator Bilbo says Mr.. Ellis must
have been guided by the passage in
Scripture which tells of the laborer
who started to work at the 18th hour
and received the same pay as all the
others.
