STOCK PRICES
IRREGULAR IN
DULL SESSION
New York, May 24 U.R Further
pathetic trading came into the
tock market today and price chang
es were irregular despite a firm early
tone.
Supreme Court decisions on the
Social Security Act and the Presi
dent's message on wages and hours
appeared to have no effect on stocks,
Government bonds rallied in im
proved trading but other markets
were dull.
Wheat closed with losses ranging
to more than a cent. Other grains
were eay. Cotton was slightly low
er. Most commodities dipped after
showing early improvement.
Steel shares attracted greatest at-
tenton, buoyed by announcements
that backlogs would maintain pro
duction through most of the sum
mer. U. 8. Steel gained more than
a point, but there was no follow
through to buying, and the stork
dipped almost a point from the high
Bethlehem had a fractional loss.
Republic maintained a small gain
at 36 .
Chrysler rose to 115 for more than
a point gain, but dropped back to
1134. General Motors neid un
changed. Other industrial Issues
were mixed, du Pont advancing a 14
to 160.
Coppers followed steels with early
advances which disappeared Into
small losses. Railroad issues were
soft. Atchison had loss at 87.
The utility group made a better
showing, particularly In communica
tions. We-.tern Union gained more
than a point and American Tele
nhone was fractionally higher.
Increased crude oil prices brought
minor gains in oils. Including Stand.
ard Oil of .New Jersey and Socony
Vacuum.
Dow Jones final averages showed
Industrial 175.57 up 0.57; railroads
58.75 Off 0.21: Utility 28.48 Up 0.14.
Transactions were 682,410 shares,

FOREST PRODUCTS
DOMINATE EXPORTS
Portland, May 24 W Seven
eighths of Oregon's rail and water
exports are forest products, David
Secies, start economist tor tyom
monwealth, Inc., showed in a sur
vey today.
Wheat and other agriculture pro
ducts comprise seven per cent of
the export total, animals and ani
mal products one per cent, and
manufactured products other tnan
forest products three per cent.
In Washington, lumber products
total 80 per cent of the state's ex
port trade, the state having double
the volume of Oregon's agricultural
and manufactured products trade.
In dollar value, Oregon's lumber
products constitute two-thirds of
the trade, manufactures 15 per cent
and agricultural 14 per cent.

IN AMBITION
TO REACH 100
'Continued from page 1)
winter home. "The Casements.'
drifting peacefully off to his final
sleep after complaining that he felt
"very tired."
His physician, Dr. Harry L. Mer
ryday, attributed death to sclerotic
myocarditis, a hardening of the
heart muscles.
The nonagenarian Croesus, who
rose from a $4.50 a week clerk to
master of a fortune estimated as
high as 2,400.000,000 died a com
paratively "poor man."
A family spokesman said he left
a "relatively small, very liquid"
estate. .
Long ago, since his retirement
from active business at the age of
57, he had turned the bulk of his
fabulous riches over to his only son.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., or spread-
cagled It in philanthropic endow
ments to the far ends of the earth.
In his life-time, out of the golden
torrent that gained him the soubri
quet of the greatest "money titan"
in all history, he had given away
the amazing sum of $530,830,000.
Other gifts by his son raised the
total to more than $700,000,000.
A special train was ready today
to take the elder Rockefeller's body
to his home In Pocantlco Hills, N.
Y., where a simple private funeral
will be held Wednesday. Burial will
follow on Thursday in Cleveland,
where In 1855 he trudged the streets
for six weeks before he landed his
first Job as a bookkeeper's assistant.
Death came suddenly and unex
pectedly to the aged one-time mas
ter of millions. No Immediate mem
bers of his family were present.
Despite his age. he had been In
comparatively good health all winter.
He had outlived more than 20 phy
sicians who attended him. and he
was pronounced a "fine physical
specimen" for his age when exam
ined last June at his Lakewood, N.
J., estate by Dr. Eugene Herbener.
The ravages of nearly a century
the first half passed in tumultuous
conflict In amassing his colossal
fortune from oil. mines, coal, rail
roads and a myriad other flelds
had forced him to curtail his activ
ities. He had forsaken his golf, his
church-going, and his whimsical
practice of giving away shiny new
dimes. But his hope of becoming a
full-fledged centenarian seemed
likely to be fulfilled.
Then,, last Friday, he became rest
less. He complained that he could
not sleep. His condition was regard
ed by no means as alarming, how
ever, and he was taken downstairs
in an elevator and wheeled out into
the garden. For several hours, he
basked In the Florida sunshine and
appeared refreshed.
On Saturday morning he conferred
briefly with his senior secretary,
Ward Madison,
"I am very tired," he said wist
fully. At noon. John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
made a routine telephone call from
New York and was assured there
was no Immediate cause for alarm
and nothing about his father's con
dition to warrant a special trip to
Florida.
Saturday night he lapsed Into a
slight coma. The heart that drove
him through all the tempestuous
years of building an "oil empire,"
pulsed with a slowly weakening
tempo.
At 3 a. m., he roused to murmer
something to hu valet of 20 years,
John H. Yorkdl.
He asked to be raised higher In
his bed, and when it was done, he
whispered thinly:
"There, that's better.'
So far as is known, they were his
last words. Apparently he had no
realization that the end was near.
He closed his eyes, and two hours
later, in the hush of the Sabbath
dawn, he breathed his last.
His death was formally signalled
to the outside world at 8:30 a. m
when a youth employed on the es
tate raised a worn American flag to
the top of the flagpole at "The Case
ments" and then lowered It to half
start.
Beyond the statement that his
estate was "relatively small." no im
mediate information was forthcom
ing as to how much the one-time
multi-millionaire retained for his
own personal needs.
He had disposed of most of his
vast holdings, however, as early as
1922. In that year, according to a
report to congress, he paid a tax of
only 12.063.O3 on his net Income.
Almost a legendary figure to gen
erations which have grown up in
the past 30 or 40 years, the "mod
ern Midas." as he was sometimes
called, bobbed into public attention
with clock like regularity once a
year on his birthday.
Otherwise, except when his natal
anniversary brought forth the fam
iliar pictures of his frail, stoop
.hoiildered figure with the silvery
toupee, the sunken, parchment-like
face and deep set. twinkling blue
eyes, he lived a quiet seclusion an
almost forgotten anachronism of
Americas roaring Industrial pioneer
days.
Yet to the last he clung tena
ciously to life. He was supremely
confident he would reach 100.
Then," he said, with quiet
chuckle. "I ll really begin to live!"
More than S.000 policemen will be
added to present forces in England.

BONDS BOOSTED BY
SECURITY RULINGS
New York, May 24 (JP) Brisk
buying lifted prices of United States
government bonds moderately today
following news of supreme court
approval of the social security act.
Gains In late trading ranged as
high as $4.40 per- $1,000 face value
of treasury bonds.
Bond traders pointed out that a
ruling against the social security
program would have made a big
hole in treasury receipts and appar
ently would have necessitated
much more borrowing by the gov

has been expecting.

CHINESE SEEKS
BOARD FOR BED
Portland, May 24 (TP; Demand
ing a comfortable bed of boards
and a box for a pillow Instead of his
uncomfortable soft hospital bed. Chin
Soo, 89, member of Portlands
Chinese colony, was recovering to
day from an attack by two unidenti
fied white assailants who hammered
his face and burned his right foot
with a candle.
Chin would make no reference to
day to Saturday's attack, other than
to demand return of the lone dime
which his torturers took from his
cash box, which they believed con
tained Jewels and money. .
The venerable Chinese withstood
the torture for several hours, pun
ishment that would even make his
honorable ancestors wince but
finally he had to reveal the hiding
place of his dime, his only wealth.
True to the tradition of a good
Chinese, Chin, talking In his "pld-
gen" English, asked the physicians
to send him home to his bed of
boards, but was told it was best for
a man in his condition to stay in
a white man's bed.
Then he asked n ur.se s to go to
his home and bring back his bed and
pillow, but they agreed with the phy
sicians.
Chin met defeat again when he
asked to have his overalls, objecting
to the gown which hospitals provide
for patients.
