OIL STOCKS SHRINK
BY EIGHT BILLIONS
34 Leading Companies’
Shares Show Colossal Drop
Since ’29 Peak.
■r to* AMociatcd Press.
NEW YORK. October 24.—The mar
ket value of stocks of 34 leading oil
companies shrank more than $8,000,-
000.000 1. -m the high point of 1929 to
the low of October 8 this year, a study
. In "The Ij»mp.'’ publication of the
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey, shows
The survey finds that at their highest
market quotations in 1929 the.se com
panies had a total common stock value
of $10,916,773,000.
The subsequent deluge es selling and
rapid fall in prices brought the market
value of these stocks down to $2,705,-
850,000. as of October 8. w hen'practi
cally all of these issues made their low
*st prices of many years.
SIOO Worth S4OO.
"Thai is to say,” the survey adds,
“SIOO bought as much of an interest in
the petroleum business o:i October 8,
3921, as S4OO did in 1929. In miny In
stances stocks have been selling for less
than their current book values after de
preciation.
"The declines are even more impres
aive if looked at In respact to particular
companies. One of the largest of the
Integrated companies dropped from
$246,000,000 to less than $34,000,000.
another from $111,000,000 to $11,000.-
000. and a third from $141,000,000 to
$40,000,000 Declines almost as great
were the ease with other members of
the group ”
The study states that no such change
occurred In actual values, either dur
ing the advance or in the slump, but in
the matter of physical assets there had
been an increase since the market
broke.
Profits Are Lacking.
After recounting that no large oil
company which so far reported has
* shown a profit, the study concludes:
“To accept such a situation as perma
nent, or even as of very long duration
is as foolish as hindsight shows the
unrestrained enthusiasm of 1929 to
have been.
"Business is going through a
time of reorganization, and reconciling
itself to a lower price basis. In doing
this it has had to take tremendous
bookkeeping losses in Inventories, most
of which had to be absorbed In a single
year. The petroleum industry, as has
been proved by an increase in domestic
demand for gasoline even in 1931, is in
dispensable in the scheme of civili nation,
and it Viil share proportionateV with
other essential industries in thf return
to prosperity.”
AUTHORS ASK MURE

Informal Southern Conference De
plores Lack of Literary
Comment.

UNIVERSITY. Va„ October 24-
More and bettg>- book pages in Ameri
can newspapers ere wanted by South
ern authors, it was indicated here todav
rt an informal conference attended by
30 leading authors from the Southern
States.
The subject of literary pages was dis
cussed at some length at this morn
ing's session of the two-day “house
party” sponsored by the University of
Virginia, and while no resolution was
. passed or other formal action taken,
Cale Young Rice of Kentucky was re
garded as expressing the opinion of the
group when he said: “It is a misfor
tune for American letters and American
leaders that many of our great news
papers outside of New Ycrk have
dropped or cut down their literary i
pages.
Tills has• resulted,” he continued.'
*’in a lack of critical opinion from the
country at large which is greatly to be
deplored; it is sincerely hoped that this
matter will b? considered by our news
papers and as far as possible remedied."
The conference, which closed today,
was the first of its kind to be held and
was regarded as an experiment. Dubose
Heyward. Hendersonville, N. C., pre
sided over this morning's meeting and
those who participated in the discus
sion included Paul Green and Archi
bald Henderson of Chapel Hill. N. C.;
Miss Josephine Pickney of South Caro
lina, Allen Tate of Tennessee. Mr. Rice
and Alice Hegan Rice of Kentucky, Ul
rich B. Phillips of Georgia and New

sippi, James Boyd of North Carolina.
All Saints’ day was Instituted to

faithful’s celebration of saints’ feasts
during the year.

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA HERE
IS NATION S 12TH AND NEWEST
\ Hans Kindler, Its Conducted
Will Lead First Concert
on November 2.
National Group Is Expected
i to Compare Favorably as
Major Ensemble.
When Hans Kindler, conductor of the
National' Symphony Orchestra, raises
his baton over Washington's new resi
dent symphonic organization at its in
augural concert at Constitution Hall on
Monday afternoon, November 2. at 4:45
o’clock. America’s twelfth and newest
symphony orchestra of major status will
have become a reality.
The factors which determine an or
chestra’s status as a major or minor
symphonic group arc not established
| by law or by governmental fiat, though
officials of ‘ the Library of Congress'
music division are agreed that the Na
tional Symphony Orchestra may well
be considered, at its outset at least, as
a major orchestral ensemble. There
i are numerous factors which determine
an orchestra's status In this respect. Its
ability to confirm and maintain that
status in the future, however, is a mat-
I ter for future determination.
Among the elements which determine
! the relation an orchestra bears to simi
lar organizations throughout the United
States, perhaps the most important are
the number of musicians engaged, the
reputation and ability of the con
ductor, the repertoire it offers over the
course of a new season, including new
| works, and Its general technical pro
ficiency judged by ordinary orchestral
i music standards.
Many Versatile Players.
Although the National Symphony Or
chestra. at its inaugural concert, offers
a smaller personnel than some of its
major rivals in the United States, its
80 musicians are considered a sufficient
ly numerous personnel properly to in
terpret orchestral music, particularly
when the personnel includes musicians
capable of virtuosity on instruments
other than those for which they were
primarily engaged. And in this re
spect. Conductor Kindler and his per
sonnel manager, George Gaul of the
National Symphony, are most alert.
There are a number of members of the
orchestra who may. on occasions when
their own instrumental participation is
small, employ such intervals for elabo
| ration bv playing instruments not
| wholly necessary but desirable for ren
dition of the music. . , m „
As far as the reputation and aoility
of its conductor is concerned, Hans
! Kindler is recognized as one of the
greatest ’cellists in the world, and his
musicianship, long tested under such a
relentless master as Stokowski of the
Philadelphia Orchestra, is considered of
the first rank. In addition, he has been
conducting lor a number of seasons in
European capitals, where he is perhaps
better and more favorably known as a
wielder of the baton than as a virtuoso
of the violoncello.
i The matter of repertoire, at this
early stage of the orchestras career,
must remain an undetermined factor,
but in addition to the programs which
Mr Kindler already has announced for
the symphonic, Sunday afternoon and
children’s concerts. Mr. Kindler has said I
that the introduction of new works:
from American and European com-1
posers, the development of solo talent <
and the inculcation cf musical knowl
edge and interest in the young will be ;
emphasized.
As for musical proficiency, it is
. pointed out that the National Sym
! phony Orchestra must be judged In the
same light that governs the judging of
j anything on trial.
First Group Founded in 1842.
From 1842 to 1931 is a long stretch
-90 years lacking but one, to be exact —
yet that 90 years cover the whole his
tory of established orchestral combina- ,
tions in this country, the first orches
tra still in active practice before the
American public having been formed in
that year when the Philharmonic Or
-1 chestra of New York—now merged
i with the New York Symphony Orches
tra as the Ne • York Philharmoftic
i Symphony Orchestra —came Into ex
istence. Oswald Garrison Villard. a
1 former president of the New York Phil
harmonic, characterized the New York i
Philharmonic as the “forerunner and I
parent tree of all American orches- j
; tras ” It happens that the Vienna
Symphony Orchestra was founded the
same year on the other side of the At
lantic.
Some 36 years elapsed before the
organization of another histcry-making
organization such as the New York
Symphony, but in 1878 the New York
Symphony came into existence. For
many years it throve side by side with
the New York Philharmonic, until
changing industrial and social condi
tions dictated its merger with the
Philharmonic three seasons ago, giving
the American metropolis cne big sym
phony orchestra which continues to de
light Washingtonians on occasional
trips to tiie Capital.

Boston, Mass., still vaunting its claim
to being the cultural hub of the uni

by organizing in 1881 tne Boston Sym
phony Orchestra which was carried cn
for many years almost single-handedly,
in a financial way, by Col. Henry L.
Higginson and which today, under
j Koussevltzky, is one of the greatest

67 musicians, as compared to the ap
proximately 80 who will respond to Mr.
Kindler’s w’and. That first year the
Boston Symphony gave 24 concerts, the
same number that Kindler proposes to
give Washington with the National j

but despite the amazing thirst for cul

years, the Pittsburgh Orchestra did not
continue.
Although the Philadelphia Orchestra,
one of the great orchestras of the pres
ent day, was established in 1900, it
might be said that for the first 15 years
of its existence it failed to achieve the
greatness that characterized its art from
a period shortly before the World War
until the present time, though it might
also be argued that Hans Kindler’s
contribution to its later excellence was
no negligible factor, even If Stokowski
I derives much of the credit.

ARMY ORDERS FIVE
NEW IYPE PLANES
Two-Seater Pursuit Fighting
%
Machines Believed First
in Use in World.
By the Associated Press
1 Five new type fighting planes—two j
seaters, mounted with machine guns
fore and aft—were ordered yesterday by '
the Army Air Corps.
War Department officials think so
well of them that they believe they will
1 write new chapters in aerial warfare.
So far as officials have been able to
• learn, they will be the first two-seaters
of the “pursuit" or fighting tvpe in use !
1 in any of the armies of the world.
►
Fire In Ail Directions.
The two machine guns will enable
them to spray lead in all directions
• instead of only straight ahead, elimin- 1
! ating the basic weakness of the single
seater—vulnerability to attack from the
■ rear.
i Heretofore two-seater pursuit planes
l were regarded as impracticable because
reduced speed and maneuverability re
r suited from the extra load.
In secret tests at Wright Field. Day
. ton. Ohio, during the last few months,
t however, the plane—a Lockheed low
> wing metal monoplane—was found to
compare most favorably with the single
, seater in these characteristics.
The order for additional ships from
; , the Detroit, Mich., Aircraft Corporation
resulted.
1 Total Cost. $166,332.
Complete with spare parts and en
gineering data, the five planes will cost
$166,332.
The planes will be built at the Bur
bank, Calif., plant of the corporation.
They will be powered with a Curtis 600-
liorsepower liquid-cooled engine.
Whether the two-seater will replace
the single-seater pursuit plan* or will
I rrerely serve as an adjunct remains to
be determined.

WARNING MEN
WIVES OF JOBLESS
Miss Jane Addams Paints >
Disastrous Effects of
Depression.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 24.—Wives who -
nag their husbands, already dlsheart
’ ened by unemployment, were cautioned -
by Miss Jane Addams. nfotad social
worker, in a radio address tonight over
a national hook-up on the “Social Con
sequences of Business Depressions."
‘ Simple women," she said, “who do
not keep up with the outside world
eling to the old pattern that it is a
man's business to support his family.
An astonishing number of these women
— ridden by a fear lest their children
starve—continually harass' a dlsheart
, ened husband who comes home from a
futile search for work by assertions
that any one can find work who really
wants it.
"This attitude extends to the mother
in-law, who takes home her married
daughter and her children but ‘will
not feed the husband.' This often leads
to permanent alienation.”
Miss Addams deplored the deporta
tion of foreign-born workers on tech
nical grounds and expressed concern
over the dimmed enthusiasm of the
young who come out of schools and find
themselves unwanted.
The prolonged depletion of physical
; strength and mental vigor affecting
men, women and children, she said,
menaces the very sources of social
progress.
“We must remember that this is
the second year of underfeeding for
some families in the United States
end the third year for others. What
effect will it have on the coming gener*
ation? Already the tuberculosis rate
is rising," she said.
The breakdown of ambition of immi
grant families who have had to give up
little homes bought through savings
and return to their former neighbor
hoods and lowered living standards
Miss Addams termed one of the most
disastrous social consequences of busi
j ness depression.
