STOCKS SOAR
TO NEW HIGHS
FOR SIX YEARS
New York, Feb. 3 U.R The stock
market rushed Into new highs since
1931 today as General Motors cor
poration was granted a Injunction
(or evicting sit-down strikers In
Fisher body plants at Flint, Mich.
Chrysler and General Motors led
the late buying as the court deci
sion was carried over news tick
ers. Chrysler ran up more than 4
points. General Motors opened a
point lower on the 258:35 dividend
declared late yesterday, held a frac
tional loss most of the session and
then in the final few minutes rush
ed forward to a point gain.
Trading Increased in activity as
the terms of the decision were made
known.
The final rush came after the
stock market had advanced Into new
high ground since 1931. Early In
the session Chrysler, steel shares,
railroad equipment Issues and farm
oulDments had been strong to
earry the Dow, Jones Industrial av
erage to a new high since 1931.
Rails and utilities firmed although
the average were below the peaks
for the year.
Other motor shares joined Chrys
ler and General Motors.
Earlier in the trading U. 8. Steel
established a new high since 1931
at 97 hi and maintained most of the
more than a point gain to the
elose. This reflected optimistic re
ports for continuation of high steel
production deslte the recession In
demand from the automooue in
dustry. Tremendous buying strength ap
peared In rail equipment Issues.
There was fairly heavy profit
taking In the last few minutes.
General Motors dropped back to the
previous close and Chrysler slipped
m point from Its high.
Dow, Jones preliminary closing
averages showed: Industrial 188 30,
p 1.59; railroad 65.27 up .41; utility
15.96 up .23.
Transactions approximated 2.430,
000 shares compared with 2,360.000
yesterday. Curb transactions approx
imated 683,000 shares compared with
eaO.OOO yesterday.

CALLED MONDAY
Washington. Feb. 2 W Secretary

conference of farm leaders would
tie held here next Monday and Tues

granary" plan and other agricultural
needs.
More than 80 leaders of farm or
ganizations, and member of Congress

of accumulating reserves of farm
products In years of bumper crops
for use In lean years."
The Secretary said the plan could
be accomplished by a federal In
surance program providing for pay
ment of premiums and losses in the
commodity, by a system of loans
on stored crops, or by direct gov
ernment purchase of surplus pro
duct. Salem Markets

Separate Standard
For Cherries Asked
The Food and Drug administra
tion of the U. 8. department of ag
riculture has announced that ex
perlence with the enforcement of
the McNary-Mapes standard for
canned cherries has Indicated the
desirability of separate standards
for canned sweet cherries and for
canned red sour pitted cherries,
says the California Fruit News. The
products, says the department, arc
widely different. A hearing was ac
cordingly announced to set up a
standard of quality for canned red
sour pitted cherries to be promul
gated by the Food and Drug admin
istration. The previous standard for
canned cherries will then apply
only to canned sweet chcrrie.

BANK RESERVE
INCREASE HALTS
HIGHER PRICES
Washington, Feb. 2, 0J.R) The Fed
eral Reserve Board's latest order,
designed to reduce the hoard of Idle
bank fund&, was hailed today by ad
ministration economists as a boon
to the nation's housewives.
It will serve, they explained, to
prevent, further substantial rises
In the prices of foodstuffs, now high
er than at any time since March
1, 1931. Reduction of the vast sup
ply of idle money will avert the
threat of possible credit Inflation
which, they said, results in higher
commodity prices.
The board s order provided an in
crease of 50 per cent over the ori
ginal reserve requirements of mem
ber banks, to the 100 per cent maxi
mum of increase permitted by law.
The board had ordered a similar
raise last August.
The order requires member banks
to place in reserve a greater pro
portion of their deposits. To meet
the new requirements, banks must
dip into their excess reserves, or
idle money, which is the basis for
potential credit Inflation.
Officials expect the excess re
serves to drop from $2,150,000,000 to
$500,000,000, an amount sufficient
to finance further recovery and
maintain easy money conditions.
While the board's action ostensib
ly will affect banking policies, it
will touch every person in the na
tion. The board frankly admitted
it was taken to prevent injurious
credit expansion.
LABOR RELATIONS
ON WORSTED CASE
Portland, Feb. 3 (ff) Failure of
negotiations to settle the Oregon
worsted -textile union labor dispute
led to an announcement today that
a national labor relations board
hearing would be held here Thurs
day. The session had been sche
duled for yesterday but was post
poned when accord seemed near.
Charles L. Hope, regional direc
tor of the labor board, said Roy T.
Bishop, president of the worsted
company, "refused to follow" re
commendations of the firm's attor
ney, A. E. Rosenberg, to sign a pre
ferred contract with the union.
Principal point of contention has
been the proposal that the com
pany recognize the union in collec
tive bargaining. The union in its
appeal to the labor board charged
intimidation and coercion.
The mill, normally employing 450
persons, was re-opened several weeks
ago but pickets continued active.

The Lindberghs, enroute to a pro

the manager said the colonel told
him.
The flying couple, who arrived at
Pisa about 6 o'clock last night (12

the famous Leaning Tower. There
they peeped inside but did not climb
up the hundreds of steps to the top.
"Llndy and Anne" went directly
to the hotel after landing last night
while beacons burned In practically
every country in Europe to guide
them after absence of reports of
their landing caused fears they
might be in danger.
Airport officials here respected
their wish for silence and, conse
quently, when their safe arrival was
unreported as the time passed for
their gasoline supply to be exhausted,
mmors of accidents, similar to ru
mors concerning other private flights
of the couple, were heard.

Sclo was entirely without water

WHEAT PRICES
HOLD STEADY
Chicago, Feb. 3 U R) Wheat pric
es held around previous closing lev
els in a slow trade here today with
speculators paying little attention to
the day s crop of news.
The market opened with small
net losses that were extended some
what later in response to ft heavy
tone at Liverpool. The decline
abroad induced light but persistent
liquidation that met with little buy
ing until the May delivery touched
$1.264. The market steadied around
mid-session and in the final hour
rallied to slightly above previous
closing levels.
At the close wheat was to Vi
cents higher. May $1.38, new corn
was unchanged to 1 cent lower. May
$1.051i, old corn was H to cent
lower, May $1.02 i, and oats were H
to H cent higher. May 49H cents.
Demand for new crop months was
relatively heavy because of reports
of crop damage In the southwest
following recent sleet storms. Trad
ers paid little attention to Wallace's
urge to take the limits off wheat
acreage.
Reports from Rome Uiat the Ital
ian import duty on wheat had been
cut in half was offset by the belief
that that country had for the time
being withdrawn from the market
along with the United Kingdom.
Corn followed wheat downward in
the first half of the session and
continued heavy while the leading
grain rallied. Increasing arrivals of
Argentine corn appeared to have a
tendency to check aggressive de
mand for futures here. Other coarse
grains followed the trend of corn.
ALABAMA NEGRO
LYNCHED BY MOB
Headland, Ala.. Feb. 2 fP) The
body of Wes Johnson, 18 year old
negro farm hand whom officers
charged with an attack on a white
girl, was found hanging in a woods
near Headland today, a few hours
after he was seized In Jail.
A group of men took him from the
custody of authorities at Abbeville,
Fla., last night.
Judge J. P. Mitchell of Henry
county said he received reports that
about 25 cars, with an undetermin
ed number of men, drove up and
took the negro from the Jailer.
The body bore bullet wounds.
The girl victim. Judge Mitchell
said, was the daughter of a farmer,
living in the Tumbleton community.
Judge Mitchell said the girl was
attacked while alone in her home.
Johnson was arrested shortly after
ward.

in the evacuation was the question
of "possession of property, " spe
cifically whether the employes had
any right to occupy property of
oenersl Motors.
He had stated In hearing yester.
day that "legality of alt-down
strikes Is not an Issue; only the
right to hold property."
I no judge announced his deci
sion Kss than an hour after na
tlonal guardsmen, clearing the
street in front of the Chevrolet Mo
tor company plant, heart of the
strike trouble area, had seised
union sound truck and set up eight
oiacnme guns at eitner end or the
street.
If the defendants of this ac
tion are right in possession of this
property, they could seek the assist
ance of this court,' Judge Oadola
said. "They have not seen fit to
do so."
Then, before he rendered his de
cision, he said: "This court realises
that no matter how the court de
cides, It will meet with condemna
tion and criticism, but the court
must act fearlessly, even to the
point of jeopardizing personal
friendships."
He alft said he could find no
Michigan law to support the de
fendants In their claim and said:
'If there Is to be a change of the
law, it must be made by legislative
bodies. The court can only inter
pret the law."
National guardsmen enforcing or
der in the strike cone here seized
the sound truck, dispersed two score
or more pickets and set up machine
guns In the middle of the street in
front of Chevrolet plant No. 4.
Two men in the sound truck, Mer
lin Bishop, a U.A.W.A. organizer
who was broadcasting from It, and
Paul Garrison, were taken lnu cus
tody. Col. Joseph Lewis, commanding
officer of the guard force, told
newsmen the men in the sound
truck were "doing too much talk
ing."
The guardsmen pointed bayonets
at the backs of the pickets to force
them to depart. The pickets took
the maneuver good naturedly, stag
ing as they proceeded to a union
hall. The soldiers also destroyed a
frame picket shack and drew their
lines closer around the plant, scene
of yesterday's renewed trouble.
Union headquarters at Detroit
said John L. Lewis, chairman of
the committee for Industrial organ
ization, would arrive tomorrow
morning to "Intensify the strikes"
which already have paralyzed Gen
eral Motors production.
The strict patrol of 1,200 Michi
gan National guardsmen shut off
passage of food supplies to several
hundred members of the United Au
tomobile Workers of America, C. I.
O. affiliate, who started Flint's third
sit-down strike last night, occupy
ing the "key" Chevrolet motor as
sembly department.
More than 1,200 national guards
men controlled the "trouble spot" of
General Motors strikes today with
a ring of bayonets and guns, drawn
so taut that food-bearers were for
bidden to pass the military lines.
Inside the troop petrol which
stretched about an 80 acre area
containing the huge Chevrolet Mo
tor company plants, were several
hundred members of the United Au
tomobile Workers of America who,
after a aeries of disorders, last
night started Flint's third sit-down
strike, occupying the "key" motor
assembly department.
"When the men get hungry they
can go out and cat." Col. Joseph H.
Lewis, national guard commander,
said. "Nobody is keeping them
from going out."
Troops patrolling the area were
Instructed to let no one enter
through the lines, thus preventing
strikers who leave from returning.
Across the street from the Chev
rolet factory, union strikers who
have held Fisher Body company
plant Na 2 since December 30, their
occupation blocking all efforts to
settle the nation-wide strikes.
Despite a union organizer's claim
that seven separate "slt-downs"
were started In Chevrolet depart
ment yesterday in protest against
alleged company discrimination tn
the rehiring of union employes, the
motor assembly plant No. 4 was the
only strike-held division this morn
ing. At Detroit, Richard T. Franken
steen, U.A.W.A. organizer, said the
Chevrolet gear and axle plant was
"cllppled" by walkout of 120 men
protesting discharge of a worker. He
said the men told him that com
pany guards stretched fire hose and
displayed rifles, ordering them from
the plant without permitting them
to get their hats and coats from a
locker room.
Additional concentration of na
tional guardsmen in Flint was or
dered today. The 126th Infantry,
stationed there since riots outside
the Fisher No. 1 plant In which 27
persona were hurt Jan. 11, moved
Into position In the strike sone last
night a few hours after a dozen
persons were Injured, two seriously,

Fteher body plant No. 1, scene of
another month-long "stsy-ln" strike,

Inside the motor assembly de

union organizer In a sound truck
permitted to remain outalde the
plsnt, announced this was "com
pany food" snd would not be touch

hunger strike."
Washington, Feb. 1 P) John L.
Lewis, chairman of the committee
for industrial organization which l
backing the General Motors strike,
will leave this afternoon for De
troit. He made the decision after re
ceiving report from Homer Mar
tin, president of the United Auto
mobile Workers, on developments in
Flint, Mich., where rioting broke out
yesterday.
Among other things, Martin told
Lewis that the Michigan national
guard had cut the food supply of the
sit-down strikers occupying Fisher
Body plants in Flint.
Lewis conferred briefly this morn
ing with Edward F. McOrady, assis
tant secretary of labor.
KIDNAP DOCTOR,
ASK RANSOM
Springfield. Mo., Feb. 2 (Pi Dr.
J. C. Davis, prominent Willow
Springs physician who has been
missing a week, has been kidnaped
and Is being held for ransom, Col
onel B. Marvin Casteel, state high
way patrol chief, announced at Wil-,
low Springs today.
Casteel said the physician's fam
ily received a note through the mall
in the doctor's own handwriting last
Thursday In which he told of his
predicament and asked the $5,000.
Casteel did not reveal the text of
the note, but it apparently gave di
rections for delivering the money, as
an effort was made by members of
the family Saturday night to con
teat the kidnapers. The contact was
not made.
Casteel said the doctor's medicine
bag had been found In the North
Fork river, about 20 miles south of
here.
The well known Howell county
physician and political leader walk
ed out of his office last Tuesday,
got Into the black sedan of a Strang

emergency call to a nearby farm'
house, and disappeared.
Patrolmen and Howell county of
fleers traced the sedan In a south
easterly direction, through sparsely
Inhabited territory, to a filling sta
tion between Thayer and Mamoth
Spring, Ark. There, the officers said
the trail ended and since then they
have been searching the country
side for additional clues.

BRIDGE CREEK
FAMILIES NEED
FOOD SUPPLIES
Four or five families living along
the hill road from Drake's Crossing
to Bridge Creek are badly In need of
food and if relief is not provided
within a few days, they may face
the prospect of starvation. This
was the word brought to Balem to.

ton, the two men who last week
fought their way through five miles
of deep snow to the main highway
with the Wynner family. The
Thorntons relumed to Bridge Creek
last Saturday with provisions for
their own family and came out again
late yesterday, making the Journey
thjs time on Improvised aklls.
The Thorntons report about 90 in
ches of snow at Bridge Creek, while
at Camp No. 18 of the Sliver Falls
Timber company the snow hss

marooned families, through use of
a "40" caterpillar bulldozer. It may
lake days before they finally break
through, the Thorntons declare. This
same outfit late last week broke
through three miles of snow blocked
road, but Sunday's storm filled tha
trench solid once more, forcing the
workers to start all over again at
Drake's Crossing. When the Thorn
tons came out yesterday about 500
yards had been rebroken.
One family located along the
Bridge Creek road is expecting a
baby and the parents are beginning
to wonder whether they will have
medical assistance.
A cougar which followed them
for about two miles on their most
recent trip, made matters interesting
for the Thorntons, they report. A
lantern which they carried kept the
beast at a distance, they state.
