In case you're confused by what
part inside information" plays in
the commodity markets, this will
probably confuse you more.
But these are two stories about
how the market operates. Secretary
of Agriculture Anderson is respon-
sible for both.
The Secretary explained to Ma
tional Press Club luncheon yeSter-
day how E. T. Maynard, the Chicago
speculator, cleaned up several hun
dred thousand dollars in the big
wheat price break of February 4.
It seems Mr.. Maynard read a
newspaper account of speech by
Mr.. Anderson way back on Decem-
Der 7 in Detroit. In it Mr.. Anderson
said publicly that he figured there
were an extra 100000, 900 bushels OF
grain available for export this crop
year, yet the price of wheat keeps
moving up day by day"
Warned of Consequences.
The Secretary added, in the news
story:
Il say to you that the stubborn
fact of that 100,000,000 bushels is
going to catch up with the specu-
lators some day."
Yesterday Mr.. Anderson explained
that Mr.. Maynard tore the story out
of the newspaper and stuck the clip
ping in his pocket. He figured the
cabinet member must know what
he was talking about. He decided
that at the first sign of market
weakness, he would sell wheat short
gamble that price would drop.
That day came on February 4. Mr.
Maynard Immediately went into the
market and sold 100000 bushels OF
wheat short, Mr.. Anderson re-
counted.
The word got around that the big
speculator was selling short, others
rushed in, the market crashed.
Secretary Anderson said, in effect,
that Mr.. Maynard broke the mar
ket with his 100000 -bushel plunge.
But apparently he was the only
one who read the story about my
speech" Secretary Anderson said.
The story was worth something
between 100000 and $400, 900 to Mr..
Maynard. 1t was his inside in
formation"
The other story about how the
commodity markets operate is mixed

bearish (pessimistic) item by the
speculators and helped to drive the
market down further in succeeding
days. The Secretary was damned
variously for it as an effort to %
break the market and 90 bolster
the market.
Yesterday Secretary Anderson
told the Press Club that the same
figures held true today-that all
but 100000 bushels of the 450,-
00o, 900 bushel export goal have been
purchased.
Later yesterday afternoon the As
sociated Press reported from Chi
cago that the statement, coming

the operators. Mr.. Van Horn, In
Toledo, refused to discuss the meet
ing beyond saying that it would be
'only an informal one"
There was no indication whether
members of the Southern Coal Pro-
ducers' Association will take part in
the parley. Southern operators split
away from those from other parts
of the country during negotiations
last spring. However, like the
others, they are paying into the
miners fund.

Reacts to Inside information

"Bearish" Story Released.
The day after the market broke,
Secretary Anderson put out state
ment-prepared some days earlier
that the Government had purchased
all but 100000 bushels of the
wheat it needed for export up to
June 80.
This story was looked upon as a

East Coast dockworkers' strike.
News that terms for ending the
strike had been agreed upon and
that the ship would leave Sunday

off the vessel in sympathy with the

The principal reason for delaying
the sailing until next Sunday, a
Cunard spokesman said, is to call
back some passengers who have gone
ashore temporarily-some as far as
London.
He said the time also would be
used to call aboard other persons
on passenger waiting lists to fill

News of the sailing came as some
900 passengers appeared ready to

appear imminent, the passenger
group had voted to begin "sit-in''

New PoIicewomen
To Be Drawn From.
Civil Service Lists

The Police Department wants to
discourage women from applying for
the 80 jobs as policewomen at this
time, Assistant Supt. Floyd A.
Truscott said today.
The department, however. is well
coming applicants for the newly
authorized Civilian Reserve Corps.
Inspector Walter T. Storm, in
charge of police training, said he
now had more than 300 mail in
quiries about the reserve corps as
well as enough phone inquiries to
keep three policemen busy.
Despite the holiday, Inspector
Storm reported, batch of letters
inqriring about the reserve group
reached headquarters today and he
expects an even larger crop to-
morrow.
Inspector Storm said the corps,
to be composed of armed civilians,
cannot get under way until the
commissioners have approved the
Reserve Corps manual outlining the
rules and regulations governing the
corps.
AS for the policeWomen. Inspector
Truscott declared. We are not SEEK
ing women from the general public
right now"
He explained that the jobs for
policewomen authorized earlier this
week by the Commissioners are to
be filed, under current plans, from
the Civil Service Commissions va
rious junior professional registers.
Inspector Truscott said he plans
to confer with commission officials
tomorrow to make arrangements for
drawing women from these registers.
Precinct commanders were di-
rected to refer all inquiries about
the policeWomen's jobs to Police
Chief Robert J. Barrett instead Of
to the Civil Service Commission
Maj. Barrett's Office will reply by
saying applicants are not being
sought now from'the public but that
those inquiring will be notified If
and when the commission calls an
examination for policeWomen.
An examination, it was explained,
will not be called unless women on
the register noW-Women with pre-
legal pre-medical or pre-accounting
training, among others - decide
they don't want to make career
of being pollceWomen.
After the women. are certified to
the Police Department by the COM
mission, Inspector Truscott said,
they will be questioned as to
whether they want these jobs.
After that, they will be given
physical examinations and screened
for character.
The women, who will start at the
rookie police salary of S2,720, will be
used at the station houses as as
sistant station clerks and at the
Communications Bureau. Their
jobs will vary from meeting the
public to keeping records.

rough estimate of s150,000," Mr.
Hildreth said, the committee will
practice every possible economy in
order to keep inaugural events With

News Facilities to Cost More.
He cited as one example of in
creased costs involved in the inau-
gural events a 100 per cent increase
in the facilities needed to accommo-
date the press, radio, photographers
and television equipment.
Mr.. Hildreth added:
"Of course we are making suitable
arrangements to provide for this
added coverage since this enables
Washington to be the host to the
millions of Americans who will visit
our inaugural, not in person but
through the radio. press, neWsreel
and television coverage of the event.
But it does give just one concrete
example of the problem the COM
mittee faces in attempting to hold
down costs of the celebration.

ing that contributions of services
are being utilized widely in order

ed on a voluntary basis.
