WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Sept. 23.—The stock market made its best display of strength in several months today, as bears covered their commitments at heavy losses. Railroad shares were buoyant as a result of this short covering and their strength carried the entire market upward. Losses of recent sessions were wiped out easily. Railroad gains ranged up to more than 15 points and the turnover was heavy. Bonds continued to improve after a steadier opening. British opened at 99, up 4 points, and held near that figure, while buying ascribed to banks brought an improved tone elsewhere. Commodities were bid up. Stocks on other exchanges followed New York. Markets at London, Paris, Rome and Milan were strong. Steel Shares Strong The Street was of the opinion the British situation had been taken out of the realm of uncertainty. Reopening of the London Exchange was considered a favorable factor. It was said to be indicative of more settled conditions in Great Britain, and its operation was relieving New York of bearing the brunt of world financial market operations. Reorganization of Transamerica Corporation, which divested the corporation of its bank affiliates, was a favorable factor for the bank shares involved. Bank of America of New York stock opened at 36 bid and sales were made as high as 37, against a low of 31 Vs Tuesday. Around noon United States Steel was at 83%, up 3%; Case 48%, up 3%; Auburn Auto 126%, up 6%; American Can 83%, up 3%; Westinghouse Electric 50%, up 2%, and Woolworth 54, up 4. All others made gains of 1 to 4 points. Rail Issues Soar American Telephone soared nearly 6 points to 144% to lead a strong public utility group. Oils joined the advance and moved up small amounts as did copper shares.

GRAINS HIGHER ON FAVORABLE NEWSREPORTS Strength at Liverpool and in Securities Help Wheat. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 23.—With increasing steadiness in the Liverpool market, and optimistic stock market signs in the United States, all months in wheat showed fractional gains at the Board of Trade opening today. Corn was unchanged to fractionally higher with the exception of September, which had not recovered from Tuesday’s liquidation, and was off in the fractions. Oats, in sympathy with the strength of wheat, was up. Wheat Opens Higher At the opening wheat was % to % cent higher, corn was % cent low T er to % cent higher and oats up % to % cent. Provisions were weak to lower. The steadiness of wheat in the face of liquidation in corn and the spreading operations both here and at Winnipeg, was due to the prospect for steadiness in the stock market, and the Board of Trade expected to show strength in wheat at the opening today. No foreign export in the major grain is looked forward to for some time, but*the prospect for increasing strength in wheat was based on the bullish tone of the Liverpool market, which opened higher. Cash Corn Strong The firmness in cash gave strength to com despite the heavy liquidation in September Tuesday. The deferred months recovered before Tuesday’s close, and traders in this pit were optimistic over the predictions in wheat. Deliveries on September com Tuesday were 910,000 bushels. September oats was weak on the liquidation Tuesday, but other months retained strength on the strong cash demand in that grain.

Pointing out that 65 per cent of the Communistic following in the United States is estimated to be Negroes, Prank M. Beckwith, Negro, director of the bureau of Negro welfare of the state industrial board, told those attending the sixth annual conference of city pastors and social workers of the Methodist Episcopal church, Tuesday afternoon, that they must take steps to reduce this figure. “If the Negro is to survive and to earn respect he must be taught to adjust himself to our economic changes, by the church, and he must be taught, if he is to survive, loyalty, mental alertness, tolerance and dependability,” Beckwith said.

James Showalter, chairman of the tax board, stated that Indiana governmental expenditures have been kept at a minimum and he did not believe any reduction in the rate was possible.

BATTLES MONEY GIANTS TO SAVE BANKHELOVES Gianninl, of Huckster-to-Millions Fame, Fights Transamerica Move. By United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23. Amadeo P. Giannini, who fought his way from a waterfront produce market to leadership in one of the nation’s greatest banks, plunged today into anew strugggle among financial giants by opposing the drastic reorganization of Transamerica Corporation. Openly breaking with the executives to whom he had passed control of the institutions, Giannini aligned himself with the great mass of Transamerica stockholders and promised a “lively personal interest” in the corporation’s future. Known at 61 as “the man who refused to become a millionaire,” Giannini gathered all the power at his command to fight the breaking up of the money giant he pulled from the ashes of the San Francisco fire in 1906. In a statement issued Tuesdav night, after directors in New York had voted to dispose of controlling interests in various banks, Giannini pleaded for “faith in Transamerica.” and then vigorously attacked the directors. Voted Into Retirement Giannini commented first on th fact that he, the founder and former president of Transamerica, had been voted into retirement as a director. “I presented my resignation as an officer and director of Transamerica companies last June while at Badgaste, in Austria, because I could not approve the policies, plans and procedure of my successor, Chairman Walker,” Giannani said. “The present plan, offered by Mr. Walker, primarily is objectionable in that it proposes to take out of the corporation the control of its principal and most valuable institutions and does not give the stockholders an opportunity to express themselves regarding the terms and time, of sale, merger, or other disposal, and no assurance is given that they will together remain in control of these institutions, as would be the case in the event of a free distribution, or that allowance will Be made for normal time value, earning capacity, good will and control value.” Sees Dreams Ruined Seeing Transamerica slipping from his grasp, and with his lifelong dreams of world financing, Gianni attacked Chairman Walker and charged that Walker, without his knowledge, voted Giannini proxies in favor of a plan which Giannini opposed. Giannini never cared for the untold wealth he could have had. Onco he gave $1,500,000 to the University of California for an agricultural research foundation. He gave away many sums to education and charity. But his bank always came first. It is the bank he is fighting for now. RAW SUGAR PRICES —Sent. 22 Hieh. Low. Close.
