Wall Street Right Wing Adherents Run Out On Their Leaders — Many Now Favor Administration Plans. BY RALPH HENDERSHOT Time. Special Financial Write* Those who took up the fight for the so-called right wing element in Wall Street and elsewhere would seem to have had a rather snide trick played on them. Those they sought to protect are rapidly deserting their ranks. It is not known definitely, of course, whether this protection was solicited, but there have been fairly strong indications that such was the case. It is possible, though, that the protectors took the burden upon themselves, trusting to luck for their just reward. At any rate, some rather important people have come out recently as strongly in favor of the administration and its economic policies.
Robert E. Christie, Jr., president of the Investment Bankers Assn., made it plain recently that he felt the President had done an excellent job, and in an address last week in California, W. A. Irvin, president of the United states Steel Corp., said the steel industry has entered wholeheartedly into support of the national recovery. “We believe the President is making a splendid and courageous effort to bring about industrial recovery.’ Mr. Irvin said, “and we are giving him every co-operation within our power to that end.” • •a Budd Favors the Securities Act. Edward O. Budd, president of the Edward G. Budd Manufacturing Cos., also came out strongly for the administration last week. He branded as untrue the implication that because he had refused to agree to anew election of employe representatives that he was not in sympathy with the NRA. He went a step further and appealed for "full and complete co-oper-

fction” of every citizen in the President's recovery program. It is only fair to state, however, that the race to get under the Roosevelt banner has been due in part to the steps taken by the President to guard against currency inflation and to his placing a more or less definite price on the dollar in terms of gold. Then. too. his program has brought definite results in the way of larger corporate profits and > general improvement in business sentiment. a a a a a a Germany and the Securities Act. The new securities act has had at least one amusing repercussion. When the German government set up the Konversionskasse and decided to pay part of the interest on German bonds in scrip instead of all in cash it ran smack up against the Federal Trade Commission. Bondholders were not permitted to accept scrip because it had not been registered. Recently, however, that little matter has been taken care of, and now prospectuses two feet long, one foot wide and containing six pages telling all about the Konversionskasse are mailed to the bondholders, who, in turn, write a letfer back to the paying agent stating they had received the prospectuses and receive their scrip. The cost of the prospectuses probably runs to several hundred thousand dollars, so one winders what the Germans saved by paying in scrip. Moreover, if those receiving the prospectuses placed a value on the time and effort expanded in reading them they might find themselves better off if they had forgotten all about the scrip.

GRAIN FUTURES ARE IRREGULAR IN SMALLRANGE All Deliveries Show Only Slight Changes Despite Bearish News. BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Pres* Staff Correspondent CHICA-GO, Feb. 14.—Despite a sharp drop in cotton and irregularity in the stock market, grains held around steady at the opening of the Board of Trade today. Wheat deliveries ranged from ’i cent lower to % cent higher, corn was unchanged to % cent higher, and oats were % cent lower. Leading traders predicted irregular markets until some definite development occurred to provide an incentive to buyers. There is nothing in existing supply and demand conditions to arouse market activity and people who ordinarily make investment purchases on this basis, are holding to the sidelines because of 1 the confusion.
