Stocks Crash
Up to 13 Points
On War News
New York, May Jl (IP) War stocks
today led the market In one of the
widest breaks In two years as sev
ere allied reserves brought visions
to Wall Street ot a German-lorc-ed
quick peace.
Losses ran to 13 or more point
for pivotal steels, aircraft, electri
cal equipments, coppers, motors and
-hami.ii Th ticker tape fre
quently was behind floor dealings
on the downswing, slowing on iceuic
recovery shifts. Quotations were
above the lows In most cases at
the close with dealings steady.
Transfers were around 4,000,000
shares, biggest turnover since last
September.
Major commodities weakened.
Bonds generally followed stocks,
although German and Danish dol
lar loans moved upward. The "free"
British pound sterling dropped sub
stantially, along with the French
franc.
Utilities and rails were lesser suf
ferers than others, but they were
well down at the finish.
Conspicuous losers Included U. S.
Steel, Bethlehem, Youngstown
Sheet, Douglas Aircraft, United Air
craft, Olenn Martin, Boeing, Lock
heed, Sperry, General Motors, Chry

as the wage and hours and Walsh
He a ley acta.
Labor Standards
The Walsh-Healey act permits
the government to fix the labor
standards of private employers on
government contracts. This has re
sulted In widespread application of
the 40-hour week with time and
one-half for overtime.
Compton ordered as the first
move toward speeding up defense
work that where possible plants
should step up to a two-shift basts.
Where three shifts already are be
ing worked "all practicable steps
shall be taken to eliminate the 'bot
tle necks'."
"The shipbuilding yards he con
tinued, "should be able to Increase
their civilian forces by at least 15,-
000 within three months.'
RFC to Assist
Asked to the president's meeting
were Chairman Walsh (D-Mass) of
the senate committee, Chairman
Vinson (D-Ga) of the house com
mittee, Admiral Harold R. Stark,
chief of naval operations; Rear Ad
miral John H, Towers, chief of the
navy aeronautics bureau, and Rear
Admiral Ben Morrell, chief of the
bureau of yards and docks.
Meantime the government pled
ged full credit backing today to
American Industry enlisting In the
national defense drive.
Simultaneously, there were signs
that the administration was recon
sidering its decision to defer the
question of financing until the next
session of congress. Indications
were that congress soon might re
ceive a request to Increase the $45,
000,000,000 federal debt limit pos
sibly by $1,000,000,000. The debt now
is approaching $43,000,000,000.

far.
Mickle and Edwards were both on
the program for the convention of
the Oregon Cattle and Horse Rais
ers association at Pendleton May 15

into Grant, Malheur and Harney
counties to visit game reserves and
horse and cattle ranches.
At Whiiehorse ranch, In the
southeastern part of Harney, Mickle
said he slept in a sod house for the
first time in his life.
In the horse raising sections they
visited, more attention Is paid now
to the saddle type horse, with em
phasis on thoroughbred stock for

Nervous Trend
Affects Wheat
Chicago, May 21 (U.R) Nervous
tension affected the wheat market
today and prices fluctuated rapid
ly over a wide range. Price levels
during most of the session were sub
stantially below Monday's close.
Wheat closed 1 to 2',i cents low
er, May 82. Corn was down V.
to cent, May 634; oats V to VM
cents lower, May 38'i A, and rye
2i to 2 cents lower. May 4514B,
Soy beans were off to 2 cents,
May 91 A.
Minneapolis and Kansas City
wheat followed the movement at
Chicago but Winnipeg was unable
to take advantage of the firmer
spots. Tlie July contract at Winni
peg reached the pegged minimum
level during the session.
Corn generally reflected the ac
tion of wheat. There was fair lo
cal support and some buying at
tributed to cash interests. Failure
of wheat to maintain higher levels
Induced selling in corn. Shipping
sales were 26,000 and purchases
to-arrlve 38.000 bushels. Receipts
were 23 cars.
Liquidation of May contracts and
fair pressure on the October deliv
ery combined with surrounding
weakness to depress soy beans to
the minimum levels allowed under
the peg- July dipped to within
cent of the bottom.
Flying Shoemaker
Skates Into Salem
Oregon's new processing of high
ways may be fine for motorist, but
It is not so "hot" for roller skates,
according to Johnny Balazs, the
"flying shoemaker," who rolled Into
town this morning from Eugene on
another leg of a 25,000 mile skate
through the 48 states and Canada.
The "Hurrying Hungarian," as he
Is termed, left Los Angeles April 25
and expects to be on the road for a
year, financing his trip through ap
pearances at skating rinks.
Balazs uses 14-pound skates which
he has made himself, using inside
rollers of old bowling pins with spe
cial steel cut for ball bearings and a
steel rim on the outside of the
wheels. He says he gets from 600 to
700 miles out of each wheel and to
assure of a supply carries eight
spares.

Cattle Rustling
Being Combatted
Cheyenne, Wyo., May 21 (Ri
gorous enforcement of existing reg
ulatory measures to control the
transportation of livestock by truck,
the operation of auction sales and
inspecting of brands was Indirectly
recommended today by a special
committee of the American Nation
al Livestock association as a means
of combatting cattle thefts.
Releasing Its report after weeks
of careful study, a three-man co
ordinating committee of the asso
ciation's committee on brand In
spection and livestock theft, said
there were sufficient laws to govern
the problem but that the enforce
ment of these regulations was "woe
fully lax."
"The lack of cooperation In brand
inspection and livestock trucks mov
ing interestate Is decidedly In evi
dence," the report said. "The indus
try Is confronted with the rapid
development of auction sales and
the transportation of livestock by
truck, both of which have material
ly complicated the regulation and
control of livestock."
The coordinating group, headed by
Howard Linger of Hooper, Colo., vice
president of the Colorado Stock
Growers association, made 15 rec
ommendations to the full committee
covering the regulation of livestock
at markets, stock movements by
truck, auction sales and the ap
pointment and training of brand
inspectors.
For the control of stock at mar
ets, It proposed that all brand In
spection agencies be registered as a
market agency under the provisions
of the packers and stock yards act;
that all states enact laws governing
interstate movement of stock, and
maintain joint or private inspectors
at all public markets; and that all
states work for passage of uniform
rules for the proper determination
of ownership.
