But Takes C Priori Py Hope Springs From Many ations Of New Vitality In Various L rial Lines By RICHARD L. GRIDLEY (United Press Financial Writer, NEW YORK, Aug. 13. (U.R) Rising security and commodity prices are exerting a favorable influence on business activity and restoring confidence according to opinion on business leaders. The advance in prices, if continued, might pave the way for a general trade recovery. Because prices have made Beveral false starts in the past three years, however, a feeling of caution exists. it Nine Point Program Given Careful Study Prior To Conference WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. (U.R) The "powerful attack" against the de pression on all fronts which President Hoover forecast in his acceptance speech is about to begin. A call for a general conference of nation-wide business and industrial committees Is being prepared at the White House. The date is to be an nounced shortly. The purpose is to unify the recon struction program. Federal resources and private initiative are to be co ordinated. Governor Eugene Meyer of the fed eral reserve board has been at work on this outline: 1 Stimulation of engineering works through the reconstruction finance corporation's Sl.WMMHMWMKI fund for self-liquidating put-lie works. 2 Rebuilding of slum districts into modern housing groups. 3 Expansion of livestock loans. 4 Assistance, financial or other wise, in developing advance purchases of raw materials such as cotton. T General expansion of industrial credits for production in lines where consumption is assured. 0 Expansion of railroad mainte nance ami repair work. 7 Expansion of home building tin der the new home loan bank system. 8 Spreading out of work through voluntary reduction of hours. 0 Miscellaneous cooperation be tween government agencies and spe cial industries.

Small Boy Rescues Two From Drowning FLOREXCK. Aiic. 13. fSpecinll Kenneth Hatch, (f-yenr-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Hatch, has to his credit the rescue of two per sons from drowninn within the past few dnvs. He first rescued little Bruce (iirard. two-year-old, who hnd fallen into Allison lake from n bont while with a picnic party, and two day Inter he snatched his own sister.

Where, therefore, a partv of six persons is presented with a bill for $1-. the amount of the tax is 3d cents. (Explanation: The tax l nayablt on the 20 per cent of the parly't total bille at the rate of Mj cent! for each 10 centa or fraction thereof). If a fixed admission or cover charge Is imposed and suc h charge Is deemed fair and reasonable, in comparison, with rhnrges mnde for similar per formances and entertainments, then the tax applies to this alone. The Inw also provides that no tax shall be collected from a guest bent merely upon eating a nienl. " he leaves the place before the entertain ment begins.

Itnnk failures are declining ngiiin, hoarding has dropped, employ ment is increasing slightly, and pros pects favor further improvement when fall business picks up. The ultimate effects of the rising security and commodity prices, which have added mors than 10 billions to the purchasing power of the country, cannot be accurately gauged. Much wilt depend upon the permanency of the advance. Most-manufacturers and merchants have let their stocks dwindle to the lowest possible limit. Once the coun try concludes the "bottom" has been reached in prices, economists look for a scramble for raw materials, food stuffs and other commodities. Considerable attention is being paid to the situation by bankets. A group in New York is discussing plans for $.)0.0nl,noO commodity atnhilixatinn pool through which manufacturers would be finnnced. Retrenchments Stop Another favorable sign 011 the bus iness horizon ia the tendency of many companies to delay further "retrench ments" pending indications na to the extent of the curretn improvement. Although the railroad Industry has put out further "feelers" for niiother wage cut, the tendency in other lines is to delay such action In hope it will not be necessary. Principal improvement in business lines at present is in the cotton tex tile industry where the rise in cotton prices has cheered mill owners. I'lnnts in some sections are working night and day. Automobile, dealers report in creased business in the past few dnys. Some railroads are making plnns for increased movement of freight..
