JA(ifiF.B (Associated Press Flnanrlal Editor) NEW YORK, May 8. ( AP) A new Implement with which to take the pulse of business appears today with publication of The Associated Press" daily index of commodity prices. Thla Index haa been devised after months of study" by the Associated Press" daily index of commodity prices. Thla index ha been devised after months of study by the Associated Press statistical department in n effort to provide a sensitive cross section of wholeaale price of the raw products which form the basts of the bulk of the nation's business. It la baaed on 30 leading com modities which In 1928 accounted for approximately one-third of the total wholeaale turnover in all of the 784 items used In the U. S. bu reau of labor statistics all-com-roodlty Index. 1926 Was "Normal." The 1938 average price was taken as 100, so the day to day changes show in effect percentage of the level prevailing In 1926. That year was taken In recognition of the vogue among statistician of arbi trarily using 1936 as a "normal" yoar. The Index Is designed to show aa reasonably close a relationship to the general wholeaale price level a la possible in dally Index, while at the same time depleting the move ments of the sensitive staples such aa cotton and wheat. Consequently, a combination of raw materials which which normally fluctuate rather sharply, and those which change in price less frequently, la used. Exumptr Shown., The relative Importance given to , each commodity In calculating the Index wo decided upon after con sidering the percentage which each contributed to the total turnover 01 commodities In 1936, then making certain adjustments to allow peculiar characteristic of the various items. For Instance, wheat was given a larger weight than would be Indi cated by Its total relative value, be cause of It prominence aa a cash crop. Scrap steel was given a large weight becatise of Its barometric value for the entire steel industry. Corn was given a relatively small weight, since so much of the crop Is fed on the farm and actually reaches the market In the form ol hoga. A number of expert In gov ernmental and private statistical agencies were consulted In deciding upen these weights. Imlcv Staples.

President Roosevelt In signing the railway law last spring, had com mented it was "crudely drawn." Act Held Arbitrary Justice Roberta said the act would benefit 146,000 persons who had re tired within one year before Its, en actment. "Thla Is In th. last degree arbi trary." he said. Ruling that Invalid sections of the law made the entire act unconstitu tional, Justice Roberts said those who were scheduled to retire when the act was to become effective would have received a pension although they close 'n,,vr ha1 contributed. He added the con ine i:rat year would De 9.ooo,000. "That la not a permissible subject of legislation." he said, explaining It set up "new contract obligations. ' Some railroads, he said, would have to pay money for the employes of other carriers. "This pooling provision of the act Is unreasonable and arbitrary." Rob erts held.

They served gallantlv In the nation's defense, and of their number some were called upon to lay down their Uvea In that service, The memory of their patriotic sac rifice should always be held dear by the citizens of Medford. "Others of these brave young men were called upon to sacrifice, not life, but the health and strength which makes life worth while. Tnelr fam ilies and the famlllee of the dead also were required to make heavy sacrl flees. These disabled and dependents are still paying the human price of our nation's World war victory. "From the battle front In France our returning soldiers brought the poppy aa the symbol of sacrifice and the memorial flower of the dead. Each year before Memorial day the men of the American Legion and the women of the American Legion Aux iliary ask us to war this flower in tribute to the nation's fallen defend ers and to give in exchange for the flower a contribution to aid the war's living victims. "Therefore, I, George Porter, mayor of Medford, urge all citizens to honor the dead and aid the living by wear ing the' American Legion and Amer ican Legion Auxiliary memorial pop py on Friday.
