New York, September - CUP = The Stock Market rallied to above the previous closing levels in afternoon trading today after fur ther bear selling had forced prices down moderately in the initial trad- ing. .
 Pressure gradually lifted after the early unsettlement and prices worked forward during the late morning and early afternoon. AL the latter stage they were frac- tion to a point above. the previous levels after recovering similar sized losses.
 Apathy continued in speculative quarters, however, and turnover again dragged at the lowest levels for the bear market. Outside de- velopments were not conducive to traders taking a position on either side of the market and the leaders were allowed to drift. i.
 Most of the buying represented covering operations by traders who took short position yesterday m anticipation of a more reactionary market. When the list failed to break through the opening levels, they were quick to seize the oppor- tunity to snatch small profits. Sell ing came principally from outside long interests who were withdraw ing from the market pending es- tablishment of a definite trend.
 Narrowness of the market was shown by the 1880 ?. m. Dow Jones averages. At that time, the industrial average stood at 139.5 l, up 0.10 points; the utility at 57.1S, off O.15 point and the rail at 67.S4, a loss of 0.24 point.
 Bulls were content to. await some evidence that yesterdays selling had run its course before reenter- ing the market on a broad scale. Nevertheless, a few individual is- sues with a limited following were marked up. Among these were Loew's Inc, Radio, Woolworth and worthington Pump. Gains were limited to fractions.
 At the same time. selling of an important character again made it's appearance in leaders like the American Tobacco issue, Allied Chemical and North American. Selling of the latter was stimulated by the sharp break on the curb ex- change in North American Light and Power, a subsidiary company. Other utilities held close to pre- yious levels. Rails were inactive and somewhat unsettled by news

 Vatican City, Sept i.-UP)- The terms of the accord ending the dispute between the Holy See and the Italian government, to be officially announced later this week, return both, parties to the position they held before the dis sension, 1t was revealed to-day.
 The accord will assert that no incom patability exists between Fascism and Catholicism, the United Press learned.
 Under the terms, members or Azione Cattolica, layman's organ ization which drew the govern ment's ire, will in future be per mitted to belong to the fascist party.
 Permission to members of the Azione Cattolica to belong to the fascist party was included in the terms, since the Catholic organiza- ton agreed to changes in It's ad- ministration by abolishing It's na- tional executive committee.
 It in future will be under local diocesan control, each bishop be- ing in charge of his area. The Azi- one Cattolica furthermore agreed to limit itself to purely religious activities. None of the former

 It was Arnold's extreme brutal ity and wantonness in his raids through Connecticut shortly after he had turned traitor that caused his British superiors to transfer him to another battle front where he uet with little or no success.
 The Battle of Groton Heights will be re-enacted Monday at 10:30 a. m. with two companies of the Governors Footguard representing the British grenadiers, while the Putnam Phalanx marches under the American colors.

POLICE FOLLOW CARRIER PIGEON
 TO ITS BOOST

New York, Sept 1-(UP)-One of the strangest clues on record that offered by a homing pigeon in flight--has led two aerial police- men on a trail that may solve a Kidnapping.
 Several days ago Edgar F. Hazleton, former district attorney of Queens, reported his son, Ed gar F. Hazleton, Jr, missing. and revealed he had received demands for ransom, ranging from $2,500 to S25,O00, Hazleton was instruct ed to tie the money to the feet of a homing pigeon, and release the pigeon. The pigeon was delivered to him by the alleged kidnappers.
 Yesterday air Patrolmen Allen Van Hagen and Arthur Kafka fol- lowed police department plane while a homing pigeon, one of those referred to in the ransom letters, led them to roost in the rear of a house in Flushing. occu- pied by Charles Kofernack.
 Booming low over the area. Van Hagen and Kafka attracted the attention of Patrolman John Shea and endeavored to signal him to go to Kofernack's house. Shea could not understand them.
 The flying sleuths then drew map and wrote instructions on a piece of paper, attached to a small handbag, and dropped 1t to in- spector John Gallagher.
 Accompanied by a squad, Gaiia- gher visited the Kofernack resi- dence and found the bird in the pigeon roost along with about 20 others.
 Kofernack said he did not know any of the birds and that they belonged to a man who rented the rocst for $10 a month. He was unable to give the mans name, put said the stranger came to the house every night in a small green sedan. He described the man and police posted a guard at the house.
 The pigeon was one of two found as Hazleton had been directed, Tn a northern boulevard bird shop.
 It was revealed the officers made previous attempt to follow an- other bird found in the shop but were unsuccessful.

Clerks FlOcked
 to Quassapaug Spent Close of Half H0li= day at This Popular
 Resort

Scores of clerks spent this after noon at Lake Quassapaug. It marked their last half holiday of the season, but not the final oppor- tunity of the year to visit the lake and to enjoy its variety of amuse- ments. It has been observed that hundreds are taking advantage of the cool evenings to patronize the dance hall. The summer colonies continue to have their house par ties, reunions and their pleasure trips about the lake. Only the arrival of extreme cold weather will terminate the visits and the pleasure jaunts of hundreds, who have found at Lake Quassapaug the facilities of shore and country resorts for their various needs.
 Manager Michael O'Connell is planning a special Labor Day pro- gram of attractions. It is expect ed that next Monday will be the busiest day of the season at Lake Quassapaug. It will also be the most popular day for all.
