Hope Springs From Many ations Of

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.

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

minutes later, when he dived in after
her, bringing her out.
thus Increase the exemptions and
evade the tax. 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

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

Much Hope is Held
Nevertheless, business hopes are
higher. 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..
' Trade in the farm belt lias been
aided by rising grain prices. -
Mennwhile the important steel nnd
building industries continue around
their lowest levels of the depression.
Replacement demands nre counted
upon to produce heavy nctivity in
these businesses once the recovery
gets under way.
