PROPOSED TRUCKING
SERVICE is OPPOSED

BALTIMORE, May 24.-Despite the
predicted saving of $4,000 year in
freight rates which would follow the
Inauguration of the proposed Pennsyl-
vania Railroad trucking service on the
Eastern Shore, hostility, fostered by the
chamber of commerce in several shore
towns, has handicapped the project. the
public service commission was told.
Saul c. Hodberger, vice president OF
the Baltimore Transfer Co., laid the
charges against the Eastern Shore civic
organizations which opposed the truck
ing service. The Baltimore transfer
firm and the Peninsula Auto Express
Co. were named by the railroad to form
the proposed truck delivery system.
After first expressing friendly interest
in the system, Hoffberger said, Eastern
Shore residents became prejudiced after
chambers of commerce. took stand
against the plan. The organizations,
Hoffberger said. have refused the truck
ing companies the advantages neceS-
sary for the new service.
The commission was told the new
system would greatly facilitate the EN-
Gent handling of Ash and perishable
produce to Baltimore and Washington
markets.

showing. Less than IS per cent of the
ground lost on the preceding major
downswing has thus far been regained.
Industrials, taking into account the
sharp intermediate reaction which cul-
minated on May 3, have retraced 81 per
cent. of the ground covered between
the highs of last August and the lows
of November. Utilities have already
made good more than half of the loss
sustained on last years severe break.
Admittedly, railroad stocks in the
past have shown greater stability dur
ing periods Of general market weakness
than any other major group. Percent
age decline in the index in each of the
four important downward swings of the
past decade has been smaller than in
the case of either industrials or utili-
ties. Sound transportation issues, more
over, usually offer better current re-
turn than is afforded by high-grade
equity shares in other sections of the
list. Railroad stocks, therefore, appeal
particularly to tn. investor interested
primarily in safety and yield. Those
seeking long-term appreciation are like
ly to fare better In other groups.

improvement in them in the next six

Convertible issues that showed mod
crate strength were International Tele-

Foreign issues were steady, with Just
the slightest suggestion of accumulation

 The first book containing the Gros- venordales and a number of new fea- lures, was issued two years ago. IL was announced at that time that the directory would be published an- nually and a revision appeared last year. Such a publication Is of little value unless kept up to date. The last book was issued in September, making it a little over a year since the last revision was made.
 The Putnam directory is now familiar to al citizens. 1t is so we'll planned that one has no trouble in locating person through name or street listing. IL carries fund of information aside from its list of addresses and is a volume much used and valuable for reference.
