Wall Street Financial, Business Skies Clearing: Pay Rolls at New Peak. BY RALPH HENDERSHOT Times Special Financial Writer *’l 'tit. nnanciai ana business skies appear to be clearing. It looks very much now as if the FletcherRaybum bill will be modified to an extent which will make it both effective and workable and at the same time eliminate the features which would seriously affect business. Testimony such as that given

recently by; Samuel Unter- ! myer can hardly j be overlooked by congress. Even Ferdinand Pecora, the man who did most to bring the legis-1 lation about, has asked for certain changes. Recent dispatches from Washington in- ! dicate that the ! securities act of j 1933 also may be eased to some extent. If that happens and a ;

Ralph Hendershot

reasonable regulation bill is enacted there is every reason to believe that j long-term credit will begin to flow into industry again. With the government financing fairly well pro- : vided for and the necessity for I federal financing of trade elimi- ! nated, the way would be opened for a ! substantial improvement in busi- j ness. Another encouraging development was the announcement from Washington recently that pay rolls in American manufacturing industry established anew peak since 1931 in February. Employment also was at anew top. Moreover, it was thought that March would make a better showing than did February. Cor- j porate returns for the first quarter j of this year, which will begin to j make their appearance shortly, undoubtedly will reflect the trade betterment. n a a Wall Street Out of Touch STREET, generally re- * * garded as the first place in the country to note business changes, has been having so much trouble of its own in recent months 1 that it is a fair guess that it has! overlooked much of the improvement which has occurred. It is probably further out of touch with actual conditions than ever before also because of the shift of the banking business to Washington. The ‘ master minds” in business say that trade is likely to keep to the uptrend until around the first of June, when the usual midsummer slump is expected. It is feared that this slump may bring about another crisis and that out of it will come additional inflation. The test in all probability will be the extent to which private business can absorb those workers who have been employed either directly or indirectly by the government. The pump has now been primed, and it remains to be seen whether water will appear. B B B The March Comparisons IT is worth remembering that the bank holiday last year fell in March and that as a result business suffered a sharp slump. There may be those who will get excited over March returns this year when comparing them with 1933 and then become disturbed when April results show and the same rate of increase is not maintained. A partial offset to the bank holidays, however, is the fact that there were five Saturdays in March this year, as compared with four last year.

PASTOR DEFIES HITLER: PREACHES OESPITE BAN Full Congregation Hears Anti-Nazi Cleric Assail Worldliness. By United Press BERLIN. April 9- The Rev. Martin Niemoller, in open defiance of the Nazi church leadership, preached to a capacity congregation last night at the church in the i suburb of Dahlem. from which he was suspended for opposing Reich Bishop Ludwig Mueller. Mr. Niemoller took his text from the first epistle of John, and preached on the victory of faith over worldly influences. Mr. Niemoller was supposed to have been supplanted yesterday by a Nazi ; pastor. The successor, however, was understood to have given up the idea because of opposition by the congregation to Mr. Niemoller’s removal. Other Livestock Br United Press By Times Special LOUISVILLE.
