He exposed big business coffee
profiteers. He backed progressive

laws, and protection of small
businesses from monopolies. He
even spent time on aid to Indone-

Klein has let the capital know
that he stands for the people and
against special interests. He has
let the capital know that there
is tough-minded independence
which characterizes not only East
Side kosher butchers but also
their sons; that such people make
their own decisions and will not
be swayed by pressures or irate
threats. He has let the capital
know that he is Klein, the Ortho-

can, who believes in implement
ing the ideals of democracy.

Congressman Klein - Son Of

York reported mistreatment at
the hands of the police, Klein
took on the largest municipal
police department on earth. When
hysteria gripped the House and
almost everyone voted for the
Hobbs Concentration Camp Bill,
Klein arose in opposition. When
Washington talked of re-arming
Western Germany and nberating
all war criminals, Klein argued,
almost alone, that the Nazis were
returning to power and that Ger

Klein has worked for the rights
of labor by opposition to Taft

firings by government agencies.
He demanded equitable tax laws
and an excess profits tax. He has
urged strengthening of the United
Nations and has vigorously OPP
posed Communist and fascist

many bills to aid veterans. He
supported all administration
measures for reclamation and
conservation of natural resources.

Winter Wheat Crop Outlook
Improves in Southwest
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, June 3.-An ( i'm
provement in Southwestern winter
wheat prospects and a serious
delay in seeding spring wheat in
the Northwest was noted today by
c. M. Calvin, crop expert of James
E. Bennett & Co., commission firm
The Calvin survey, based on
reports from grain dealers, coun-
try elevators and milling concerns
placed winter wheat production at
719,938.000 bushels. This COM
pared with an Agriculture Depart
ment forecast of 689, ,595, 900 bush
els as of May /.
production prospects generally
improved in May over the entire
winter wheat area" Mr.. Calvin
said. particularly in Kansas and
Nebraska, as well as portions of
Oklahoma as a result of moisture
and relatively favorable tempera-
lures"
But in the spring wheat area,
Mr.. Calvin said, 'it is apparent
to us that seedlings will fall mate
rally short of the 1927, 900 acres
that producers indicated would be
sown in their March report.
Persistent rainfall in the Da-
kotas and Minnesota" Mr.. Glavin
said, "has resulted in a very seri-
Gus delay in seeding, and it is
highly doubtful if much acreage
can be seeded in the Northeastern
and East Central portions OF
North Dakota as we'll as North
western Minnesota this year"

Bond Market Quiet,
Busy Week in New
Financing Faced
By the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, June 3.-The first
wave of a half -billion-dollar food
of June corporate financing will
hit the financial district next
week.
Dealers also will have the task
this month of handling an un-
usually heavy schedule Of financ-
ing by States, counties and mu-
inequalities. Next weeks tax
exempt offerings will come to
$12,5738,100, compared with ST.
997.760 this week, and 1t looks as
If the program for the balance Of
June will be just as crowded.
Market Dull in Week.
The rush to get debt and secur-
ity issues sewed up before the
summer lull diverted Wall Streets
attention from the humdrum per-
formance this week Of the cor
porate bond market and the over
the-counter market in United
States securities.
Trading was light, totaling only
$12,767 400 for the four business
sessions. The average daily turn
over was meager $3,191, $50.
Railroads, which have not ad-
vanced in two weeks, lost ground
during the four-day session. The
Associated Press average of 20
rails lost 3 of a point at CAT.
while industrials and utilities held
steady.
Two factors keeping rail prices
depressed appeared to be investors
fears of railway labor trouble this
summer and a spring performance
by the railroads that did not live
up to expectations.
Foreign Issues Gain.
After a six-week relapse in April
and May, foreign dollar bonds re-
sumed the spectacular advance Of
the first quarter of the year. The
AP average of foreign dollar is
sues gained Z of a point this week,
moving up to 1873, highest the
index has been in 81 months.
Many factors entered into the
popularity Of foreign dollar obli-
cations, including the administra-
tons call for more imports by
the United States and the continu-
ing price rise in many foreign
commodities.
Trading in United States Treas
ury bonds was extremely slow and
most issues closed the week at
1882 to 2/32 of a point lower than
they started.
The two biggest debt offerings
next week are identical in amount
and both will be sold Tuesday by
competitive bidding. They are
Northwestern Bell Telephone Co. s

Business Activity
off Only Slightly
In Holiday Week
By 6. A. Phillips
Asseeiatsd Press Bv.ins,s Wriss

NEW YORK, June 3.-The Me-
mortal Day holiday caused a sight
drop in overall business activity
this week.
The strongest segments of the
eeonomy-steel, autos and build
ing-were barely touched by the
holiday schedule. however. and
benefits flowing from the surge Of
travel and recreational activities
helped to make UP for lower vol
ume in retail stores and other
lines of business which closed for
the day.
It was another week Of smooth
relations In the labor field except
for one or two isolated cases: the
stock market followed q steady If
unspectacular course; national
employment edged upward in re-
sponse to agricultural and vaca-
ton industry demands and there
were fewer price increases in con-
sumer and durable goods than in
any recent week.
The lull in infiationary pres
sure, while not very pronounced,
was enough to bring the sugges-
ton in some quarters that this
particularly disturbing aspect of
the national economy may be un-
dergoing a corrective process.
Price Hikes Persist.
True, there were price hikes
this week in familiar places-non-
ferrous metals, some chemicals.
rubber. certain types of lumber
and some kinds of food. The
steel scrap market showed ex-
traordinary vigor in a rising trend.
Demand continued extremely
heavy for some of these, indicat-
ing a high rate of usage and low
condition of inventories.
While a further bulge is DOS
sible in some or all of the COM
modities in heavy demand and
scarce supply. the overall price
pattern indicated some cross-cur-
rents were beginning to develop.
Sears, Roebuck g. Co., for in
stance, sent out its midsummer
catalogue with thousands of items
marked down an average of 7
per cent from those prevailing
IN the spring order book. Biggest
reductions were in seasonal wear
ing apparel but there were cuts
OF 25 per cent in ice cream
freezers; Is per cent in garden
hose and IL per cent slash in
refrigerators. Homewares were
lowered by an average of II per
cent.
Reports were heard in trade
circles that refrigerator sales of
big department stores were not so
strong these days-with summer
just around the corner. Big dis
counts and unusually easy INSTALL
ment terms have featured some
recent clearance sales of other
household goods. including tele-
vision sets and radios.
Hard Goods Sales Dip.
While internal conditions with
in individual selling organizations
probably had something to do
with some of these situations
there was enough evidence of an
other kind to encourage the
thought that heavy consumer
demand for numerous types of
hard goods" may have witnessed
its peak. at least for the summer
months.
If this turns out to be the case
it will not take long for produc-
ton at current rates to restore
inventories to a point where fur
ther price increases will be dis
couraged by normal competitive
conditions.

Definite-definitive There is a
shade OF fine distinction between
these similar words. Definite
means having certain limits; ex-
act or precise" Thus we may speak
of definite amount" or "defl-
mite promise" meaning an exact
amount, and a promise that is
clear and unmistakable in mean
ing. Defnitive means decisive and
final; that which serves to fix or
settle something else" Thus, the
Supreme Court may hand down a
"definitive decision" or a recog-
nized authority may give a "defin-
tive opinion as to the value or
genuineness of a work of art.
d-disinterested. While
both words mean mot interested" I"
there is further shade of differ
ence in that uninterested implies
mot having any interest what
ever" as, He is uninterested in
athletics" Disinterested implies
freedom from a selfish motive;
unprejudiced; impartial" as, "his
advice was fair and disinterested.
Writers especially should observe
this distinction, else the valuable
word "disinterested" may come to
lose its precise meaning.
