New York. April 1.—Bright
spots appeared today in bnsiiioss
and financial news from all cor
ners of the nation.
.An upturn in retail sales and
a revival of confidence were re
ported in various federal reserve
districts.
Dun & Bradstreet. Inc,, in its
weekly report said “the curve of
retail trade has jumped sharply
this week.”
This conclusion wa.i reflected,
the report said, in the "heavier
demand for women's apparel
lines, dress accessories, shoes,
home fnrni.shing.s, leather goods,
and boys' and men’s clothing,
sales of which reached large to
tals during the week.
"Th^ expansion of activity in
wholesale markets, which made
such marked headway last week,
has been accelerated further by
the strong current buying move
ment.” the report added.
The twelfth (San Francisco)
federal reserve di.strict report,
retail department store sales
were said to have increased in
February, althongh normally they
drop during that month.
From Kansas City came the
tenth district report that reduc
tion in business mortality had
been noted.
In the eighth (St. Louis) dis
trict a promising upward .swing
in h'usiness for the third week in
March was reported.
Krom the Atlanta district came
'.vonl of a gain in department
.store sali's during Kehruary.
The second iNew York) dist
rict rejtoi't toM of a slt>wing in
the rate of decline in the amount
of busine.ss done by department,

The fifth (Richmond) district
told of a remarkable revival of
confidence.
‘ The Dallas district reported a

ten days.
Secretary of the Tveasury
Washington, April 1.—The
senate yesterday passed a bill
providing $500,000,000 to halt
the march of misery and hunger
across the nation.
If the house approves the
measure, the Reconstruction Fi
nance corporation soon will be
gin pouring a golden stream of
dollars Ir.to the gaping pit of the
depression. It will not be a loan
but an outright gift that will at
tempt to erect a barrier of dol
lars between unemployed Ameri
cans and destitution.
Thirty minutes before the bill
was driven through the senate,
55 to 17, the cry of “dole” was
raised, and Senator Fess, Re
publican, of Ohio, opposed the
measure by pleading with his
colleagues "not to let their hearts
overcome their better judg
ment.”
The bill empowers the Recon
struction Finance corporation to
borrow $500,000,000 which, in
turn, will be dealt out to the
various states. There are two
ways in which a state may get
this money. .
Supposing, for instance, Ohio
has spent $3,000,000 of its own
money on unemployment relief.
It then is eligible to receive from
the federal government one-third
of that sum—or $1,000/1)00.
In addition, if Ohio can estab
lish that all Its money for un
employment relief is exhausted
it becomes eligible for an addi
tional gift—the size ot which
shall be determined by the ad
ministrator appointed by the
president.
Yesterday's vote brought vic
tory to “Young Bob” La Follette.
the serious-minded son ot “Old
Boh.” who has fought this bat
tle for a year.

Months of extensive „
committee hearing convinced him
.starvation and destitution were
abroad in the land and that the
only way to remedy it was to ap
propriate money quickly and
pour it into the areas where
want was most acute.
He dodged nervously around
the floor yesterday, consulting
with Senators Wagoner, New
York, and Costigan, Colorado.
, who sponsored the bill with him.
' Occassionally he would pause, his
thick black hair tumbling into
his eyes, to beat down a sortie by
the Republican old guard, which
taunted him by shouting “dole.”
Senator Fess argued passion
ately against embarking “upon a
policy we can never retrace. '
Around Fess’ banner rallied
Republicans from the conserva
tive benches. Fundamentally it
was a clash between two philoso
phies of life--that of La F’ollette
who believes and says that econ

among the bootleggers.
Mr. Trexler was a young man
of admirable traits and w'as pop

the district. He was possessed ot
a pleasing personality which '■von
for him the admiration of
many acquaintances, and his con

He was a member of the I.uth-
