Approximately 96.000 Daiuug vot ers. the majority of them German Catholics and Socialists, combined to drown the hope* ol the Hitler ites.

Official announcement of the nomination of Chales R Gay to succeed Richard Whitney as pres ident of the New York stock ex change was interesting to traders, but the edge already had been tak en off this news. An encouraging note was sounded by General Motors which reported its March sales of cars and trucks to consumers in the United States totalled 126.691 units against 77 297 in February and 98.174 In March last vear. Total sales to defers In the United States and Canada, plus i overseas shipments, amounted to 169.302 units compared with 21.146 in Februarv and 153.250 in March 1934 March sales in all c*issifica tions were the highest for any month since 1929 The extension of a New York Cen tral loan by the R F C. and the granting of a new loan to the Bal timore & Ohio. Little surprise was j expressed, however, as this action had been generally expected In the i financial district. The boardrooms kept their eyes on the power stocks in the belief that they will not fare as badly in congress as had been feared. The coppers were also being watched for signs that they will reflect prospects of much better business if European countries carry out their plans of expanding amaments. Just how soon busifess rmd in dustry will begin to feel the effects of the administration's $4,880,000,000 work-relief program was a matter of conjecture in the commission houses but high hopes were being enter tained for substantial trade im provement as soon as the huge fund; begins to operate.
