NEW YORK. April 22—The bond
market shot upward today, with U. S.
Governments climbing to new 1938
highs and corporates ahead 1 to 5 or
more.
Gains among Treasury notes ran as
high as 18-32ds of a point, and it was
necessary to go back as far as early
1937 to find comparable quotations.
, Rail, utility and industrial bonds
all joined the advance, which traders
said was due to growing belief in Wall
Street that the Roosevelt spending
and-lending of billions to end the re
cession was "going through." Finan
cial circles saw little likelihood of in
surgents blocking administration fiscal
plans.
Up 2 to 4 among the rail issues in
the final hour were Nickel Plate 4'2s.
Chesapeake Ohio first 4s of 89. New
York Central 5s and Santa Fe 4s of '95.
Gains of 1 to 2 or mote were rung
tip by American & Foreign Power 5s.
International Paper 5s. International
Hydro Electric 6s. Armour 4s of '55,
and Studebaker 6s.
International Telephone 5s and 4'ss
Were around 4 higher
. Among foreigns, Poland 8s jumped
more than 3.
I. T. & T. Reveals
28 Per Cent Gain
In Phone Total
B? th* Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 22—Interna
tional Telephone & Telegraph Co.
reported a gain of 28 per cent in
telephones in the first three months
of 1938 over the corresponding period
last year in nine of th° 10 countries
In which it operates—excluding Spain.
All nine countries contributed to
the increase.
WITHDRAWALS OF STATE
JOBLESS FUNDS JUMP
* By thf Asscriated Press.
NEW YORK. April 22.—Withdraw
als of State unemployment funds from
deposits with the Treasury have risen
(Sharply in the last two months.
From a total of less than $6,000,000
in February, unemployment with
drawals jumped to $36,000,000 in
March and through April 18 amount
to $25,000,000, with every indication
April will be the largest month on rec
ord to date.
One reason for the high level of
withdrawals this month, of course, is
that two additional States started
making payments as of April l. By
the end of July three more States wiil
be added to the roster, bringing the
total to 27.

Br the Associated Prtu,
NEW YORK, April 32.—Retail buy
ing, after Its pre-Easter spurt, dropped
back this week to Its early April pace,
Dun & Brads treet reported today.
Volume of store sales In some In
stances fell as much as 30 and 40 per
cent, but "averaged” only 5 to 30 per
cent under last week at leading centers
of distribution throughout the Nation,
the credit agency said.
The sharp drop was due largely to
last week's last-minute rush of cus
tomers for Easter apparel, foods and
gifts, which gave retail men their
biggest volume of business since last
Christmas.
Despite the big week-to-week drop,
volume was only 2 to I per cent under
the corresponding 1037 calendar week,
the agency pointed out.
Wholesale buying gained slightly as
merchants began replenishing stock
of goods depleted by the pre-Easter
rush, but ran 8 to 22 per cent under
last year.
"Post-Easter specials contributed
most of the volume In many retail
stores this week.” the agency said.
"These were confined chiefly to a
restricted group of women's wear lines,
on which mark-downs were moderate.”
Retail volume in the Northwest was
1 to 3 per cent above a year ago, and
In the Southwest up 1 to 4 per cent!
Sales in New England were 3 to 7 per
cent under last year, in the East down
5 to 12 per cent. Middle West off I to
17 per cent. South down 2 to 5 per
cent and Pacific Coast off 8 to 13
per cent.
While noting a slight week-to-week
gain in wholesale buying, the agency
said "few merchants contracted be
yond their immediate requirements.”

Western Hemisphere Study
Would Help End Wars,
Geographer Says.
By tl.t AstoeUlad Prtw.
PHILADELPHIA. April 33 —Presi
dent Roosevelt's efforts to encourage
a united Western Hemisphere against
possible advances from Asia and Eu
rope brought forth a new suggestion
today from members of the American
Philosophical Society.
The society, at its annual general
meeting, heard and unofficially ap
proved the suggestion of Dr. S. Whit
tenmore Boggs. Washington State
geographer, that the boundaries of
South American countries be definitely
fixed to avoid further disputes be
tween them.
To date these boundaries have
caused many armed disturbances and
prolonged legal and economic troubles.
Dr. Boggs said. He proposed that all
of these boundaries be definitely fixed
according to astronomical observations
and ground aurveys as a step toward
permanent peace in the Pan-American
countries.
Step Toward Peace.
President Roosevelt recently sug
gested that cloaer economic co-opera
tion between these countries, from
Canada to the Straits of Magellan,
would be a long step toward peace and
understanding. Geographical under
standing was declared by some mem
bers of the society to be just as im
portant.
As part of a plan for tying the
Americas together in a geographical
and economic urjlt Dr. Boggs recom
mended adoption of a map of South
and Central America as it has been
fixed by treaties, papal bulls and arbi
trations recorded in Europe and the
New World and that a "history of
Latin American boundaries be pre
pared. with all of the history of the 38
boundary controversies from the Rio
Grande River southward included."
These might be combined with
aerial surveys and astronomical reckon
ings to fix such boundaries permanent
ly and avoid one source of antagonism
between the various countries in the
future, he added.
Evolution Data Furniahed.
A possible explanation of how evolu
tion occurs and produces occasional
freaks in animals, plants and human
beings was offered to the society today
by Dr. Gerhard Pankhauser of Prince
ton University.
All inheritance factors, from the
curl in a person's hair to the skin pat
tern of the feet, arc located on the
chromosomes within the body’s cells,
he declared. Occasionally tetraploidy.
or an increase in the number of
chromosomes which carry these fac
tors. occurs, he declared, and the re
sult may be a better animal, a more
productive plant or a circus freak.
This doubling or tripling of chromo
some numbers often occurs in nature,
Dr. Pankhauser declared, indicating
that it may be one of the chief factors
in evolution. Dr A. F. Blakealee of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington
added that he 1* able to produce the
phenomena at will in plants by dos
ing them with colchicine, a chemical
formerly used only in the treatment
of gout.

DEMAND LIGHT
INAPPAMADE
Buying on Cautious Basis
as Inventories Decline,
Prices Down.
Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, April 23.—Apparel de
mand is less sensitive to the status of
general prosperity than is that of
many other lines of business, such as
steel and other capital goods, accord
ing to Poor's Industry and Investment
Surveys.
Nevertheless, during periods of de
pression less clothing is bought, and
since price becomes a very important
consideration, the trend turns from
' quality merchandise to lnexpensivg
I articles.
‘Stocks of many lines of apparel in
hands of retailer*, wholesale* and
manufacturers have been high." states
the survey. "While prices have eased
and inventories are being worn down,
demand from the trade has been light,
with buying on a cautious, hand-to
mouth basis, pending definite indica
tions that price stabilization has been
attained.
"Over the short and intermediate
term those manufacturers producing
the less expensive brands of merchan
dise are expected to fare better than
I those relying upon quality and advsr
| tialng. The silk hosiery division fares
a long-term declining trend, owing to
the increasing competition from rayon
and mercerized materials. Further
more, the current agitation to boycott
silk goods because of anti-Japanese
sentiment adds uncertainty to near
term prospects.
“Apparel merchandisers face lower
earnings in 1938, since diminished pur
chasing power is afTerting sales. While
cost of goods sold has declined moder
stelv, expenses of operstlon hsv*
mounted and are relatively inflexible.
Furthermore, competition 1* keen,
making it difficult for apparel retail
ers to pass on to consumers, through
greater markup, thsir higher tax and
labor costs.”
