SELLING WAVE
FELT IN STOCK
MARKET TODAY

NEW YORK, Nov g. U,P)-A
sweeping decline in Cities Service
stock on the New York Curb eX-
change was of sufficient weight to
bring another wave Of selling into
the stock market today after rally
had started in the early trading.
The liquidation, part of which was
for weakened margin accounts, ran
until near noon. when another rally
set III among the leaders.
Before the late rally almost every
active stock had descended to new
low for the year and in some IN
stances new low7 since 1926 were
made.
Cities Service common stock broke
simultaneously on the curb, and the
Chicago Stock Exchange. On the
curb it touched l6 l-8. off 4 l2
points. and on the Chicago market
l6 IA. off 1-2. At the lows. the
issue had a loss of about 81 500 ,000,-
600 from its high made last year
Cities Service convertible 5 per cent
bonds broke a new low on the curb
bond market.
Weakness in this stock, which
next to American telephone, has the
widest distribution of any issue. was
sufficient to offset the good effects
of the Democratic pledge OF support
10 bring back prosperity. The lat
Ter had been one of the causes OF
strength in the early trading.
The selling movement in stocks
began when steel common came out
l2.3OO shares at 140. The issue
quickly broke through this price to
lS9 3-4 and the whole market went
down with it. Toward the close II
came back above l40.
Railroads continued under heavy
pressure. New lows for the year
OF longer were made by Chesa-
peake & Ohio. New York Central,
Atchison and Pennsylvania with
losses ranging above points
Motor shares also made new lows
including General Motors, Chrysler.
and Packard.
Radio Corporation was a weak
epot. touching Is. off > and new
low. In the third quarter Radio
Corporation'S net income was equal
% only three cents a share on the
S. cumulative preferred B stock
after the first nine months radios
income was equivalent to $2.20 a
share on the seven per cent pre-
felTed A stock, far under dividend
requirements.
The adverse radio report had a
bad effect on the market for
time. It rallied slightly before the
close with the other issues.
Foster Wheeler preferred made
drop of 33 points to III, the issue
making up its decline to get into
Inc with other issues which had
sold off while it has not been
traded
Utilities made new lows. North
American lost nearly six points
and losses ranging 20 two points
were made BY Consolidated Gas,
United Corporation and American
Telephone.
Skellv was the target OF the
Bears in the oil group. It sank to
around 10 with a loss OF more than
four points. New lows also were
made BY Sinclair and Standard OF
New Jersey. the latter approaching
nc 50 mark where Rockefeller in
terestS last year placed bid for
100000 shares.
United States Steel made the
most impressive rally Of any issue.

FECHET SCORES
ARMY A|R PAY |

The last fiscal year has seen
an alarming increase in resigna-
tions of the Army's finest fliers
to accept more lucrative posi-.
tions, Maj. Gen. James E.
Fechet, chief of the Army Air
Corps, says in his annual report.
He urges that a higher rate of
pay be established to act as an
incentive for the men to stay.
During the fiscal year ended
June 80, General Fechet said,
~ Of the Arny's best pilots left
the service. The number, he
said, has steadily increased from
year to year. He added:
MANY officers who have re-
ceived tempting offers from
commercial air firms are re-
naming in the service In the
hope that Congress viii enact
relief legislation in the matter
Of pay and promotion"
General Fechet's report stated
that on June 30, 1880, the
strength Of the corps was 1895 Of
ficers, 378 flying cadets and IL ,654
enlisted men. This represents an
increase of well over 1900 as com
pared with the previous year.
The service is facing a serious
lack Of commissioned officer per.

: BANDITS ROB
GAS STATION

Using the same tactics as those
employed less than a week ago
by holdup men, two armed thugs
last night forced Robert NewbS,
manager of a gasoline filling sta
ton in the 1900 block Conduit
Rd., to open a safe in the place,
which they rifled Of $40. A
similar sum was taken from New
by'S pockets.
According to Mr.. Newly, two
men hid behind the filling sta
tion and as he was closing for the
night entered the place and at
the point Of revolYers forced him
to open the safe. In their hurry
to make a getaway in an auto
mobile driven by a third bandit,
the two men overlooked $3.50
hidden behind an envelope In the
safe.
Clinton Baker, IS, of the first
block of Adams st. N. W., is still
in Emergency Hospital, suffering
from a fractured skull received
when he was attacked by two
armed negroes at the same sta
ton about week ago. On that
occasion the men only got $12
which Baker had in his picket.
The two men who robbed NeWby
were described as being neatly
dressed, one being feet 10 inches
tall. the other 5 feet inches tall.
They were believed to be driving
an automobile that had been
stolen at Clarendon. Va, a short
time before the holdup.
When Newly went to his auto
mobile he found that the bandits
had effectively blocked pursuit,
having disconnected the gas line
and stolen the keys to the ignition
switch.
