Although “longs” in May corn, those that held contracts for delivery of the grain before the end of the month, could have demanded a full 8 cents hoist in the value, they rushed to accept their profits within seconds a the final bell, selling out at around 40, It was the most sensational windup this} Of trading in a grain contract on the board of trade in many months. Trading in May corn in the futures pit has ended, but sellers have three days in which to make delivery. A similar circumstance in the oats market, where May oats shot'up almost 5 cents to 56% cents a bushel, highest the contract has been since August, 1934. May soy beans advanced 4% to $1.76%. Traders said the development in corn, while technically a “squeeze” in which holders of contracts forced “shorts” to pay a stiff price premium to. settle outstanding commitments in the futures market, also might be called a “natural corner.” ‘The windup of trading in May wheat was a striking contrast, May ‘wheat tumbled more than 4 cents a the| bushel at one time but then rallied leap at most seasons of the year.

At two Ohio points “spontaneous” walkouts already were under way, aS Philip Murray called his counsellors to Youngstown, Ohio, to discuss war against two of the bloc of independent companies still holding out against his Steel Workers Organizing committee.

Some employers may have been awaiting determination of the secur- ity act's constitutionality, tax of- ficials said, before paying their old age pension and unemployment in- surance levies. These tax collections have been falling behind original budget esti- mates, having totaled $193,000,000 through May 22.

For that reason, he indicated at a press conference, he does not share the view of some supporters that re- cent supreme court decisions mean his battle has been wi te Leading quoted by namé, nevertheless’ said there was talk of some senate friends of the court bill suggesting to the president one at a time that he with- draw it as no longer necessary. ‘That suggestion grew in part out of the court’s validation of the social security program, which Mr. Roose: velt Tuesday called gratifying. Some of the fundamental questions still to be decided, he said, are in- volved in the new wage and hour bill. Others may arise from legislation to be recommended in his message on national planning, expected to reach congress this week. * ‘The ban on child labor proposed in the labor standards measure, he said, will involve reversal of a 1918 decision that such legislation violates federal interstate commerce powers. Senator Norris (Ind.-Neb.) will pro- pose establishment of seven regional planning like the Tennessee Valley authority to carry out the president's planning recommenda- tions. Mr. Roosevelt pointed out that the government was not finally sure of the TVA’s status. The supreme court upheld construction of Wilson dam but did not pass on other parts of the TVA act, VIEWS DIVERSIFIED ON NEW ‘NRA’ BILL Both Merit and Misery Seen in FDR’s Flexible Labor Law Proposal New York, May 26.—(#)—The ad- ministration drive in congress for federal control of maximum hours and minimum wages in industry has fanned anew embers of the old de- Bate over NRA codes.
