Slight Display of Strength in Sugar-Lack of Inter- est Showed a Great Fall- ing Off in Trading Many Shares Behind Yesterday
BY ELMER .. WALKER United Press Financial EditOr)

New York, Jan 8-CUP)-Stock prices moved listlessly to-day in one of the slowest session since mid- December.
 Leading shares held close to pre- vious levels. After steady opening, the list was depressed moderately but recovered shortly after noon. Price changes, however, were most ly on the upside with gains general ly limited to 8 fraction.
 About the only feature was mo- mentary display of strength in the sugar shares at mid-afternoon on advices from Germany that the German delegates had agreed upon the Chadbourne world accord on production and exports of sugar. Great Western Sugar was a leader of this group, moving up several points. Some of the lower priced sugars like Cuban Dominican dou- bled in value on few sales but later lost the greater part of their gains.
 Among the high grade shares, Steel common held fractional loss during the greater part of the ses- sion and American Can and Vest inghouse electric were easier. Gen. eral Electric, United Aircraft. Sim mons, Auburn, Vanadium and other leaders were slightly higher.

to St. Mary's hospital by John L..
 Morrissey, one of the first to arrive at the scene of the collision. He was admitted to the hospital at 1 o'clock and died at $40 o'clock of the same morning. Marciano was removed from the wrecked roadster and also taken to St. Mary's hospital in a car which was following. An attempt was made to first take Marciano to the office of Dr. McGrath and he was 1:15 a. m. He died at 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day. While Lucas exercised poor judgment in operating the car with four adult persons in a single seat, l do not find that this circumstance in this instance hindered his operation of the car so that he could not ordi- narily control 1t.
 I find that the death of the said Thomas Higgiston was caused by a crushing of the chest when the Dodge roadster in which he was rid ing and operated by Louis Lucas was in collision with q Dodge truck operated by Nathan Raskin on the Meriden road; that the death of the said Nicholas Marciano, also a pas senger in the Lucas car, was caused by a fracture of the right knee, frac- ture of the pelvis and internal in- juries resulting from the collision aforesaid; and I further find that the said deaths were not caused by the criminal negligence of the said Louis Lucas or of the said Nathan RaSkin."

 Moscow, Jan 8.-UP)-The radio message to the United Press in which Nina Riabtzova-Demme. 28- year-old member of the Soviet colony on Franz Joseph Land de- scribes her experiences in the Polar regions aroused wide interest among her many friends and admirers in Moscow.

One of the men is the we'll known Soviet Arctic explorer. Ivan Markielievich Ivanov, husband of Miss Riabtzova- Demme. The wo- man explorer, who had never before been in the far north, undertook the work. however. as geographer and biologist in her own right rather than as the wife of Ivanov.

HOOVER KEY MAN AT WHITE HOUSE
 NOT YET CHOSEN
BY PAUL R. MALLON

Limited Press Stan COrrespOndcnt)
 Washington, Jan 7-UP)-Pres. ident Hoover is encountering con- siderable difficulty finding new key man for his official White House family.
 The resignation of George Aker- son as his secretary and liaison Of- flee with congress and the press has left the president such 8 problem his system of secretarial contacts rather than select single man to fill Akersons place.
 Because of this, it was learned to- day, MT Hoover has asked Akerson to remain after January 15, the date originally fixed by the secretary for his retirement. Akerson who has ac. cepted lucrative position with Par amount Publix Corp, is understood to have consented in order to permit the president to work out the situ. ation. He may stay until March 4, but at least will remain until Feb 15.
 The secretarial post is perhaps the most important in the White House inner circle. It has been the point around which MT Hoover built prac. tically all his public relations. At first. he desired to replace Akerson with someone from the corps of Washington correspond ents. Numerous candidates were put forward, but it Is understood the president has not been able to ob- tain any of the men desired. Now he turned his eye to other fields, but here, too, he is having trouble get. ting the kind of man he wants for the government salary of $10,000 a year.
 Among those considered for the post were Dr Julius Klein. an old friend and head of the foreign serv- ice bureau in the commerce depart- ment: Rep Franklin Fort, republi. can. N. J., who was defeated in the
 senatorial primaries last year, and Ashmun Brown, Washington core. spondent of the Providence, R. l., Journal and Bulletin. None of them
 is now regarded as q likely ap- pointee.
 l As a last resort. MT Hoover may be compelled to reorganize his secre- tarial system so, as, 10 divide the
 work between Walter Newton, his political secretary. and Lawrence ] Richey, his confidential secretary.

 In line with steadiness in the stock. market. the bank stock mar ket turned irregular, although 25-p point advance was made by the high-priced First National Bank shares. Bonds continued their ir- regular upward movement. while grains were fractionally easier.
 Lack of int-rest in the stock market was reflected in sharp falling off in trading activity during the first 1-2 hours of dealings. In this period only 1,085.3OO shares changed hands, against 1.490,4OO shares in the previous session.

Goes to President for His Signature Another At- tempt to Take Drought Relief Bill From Table Is
 Blocked Again-Another
 Scrap in Senate
BY LYLE C. WILSON

United Press Stan Corrcspondent)
 Washington, Jan 8.-UP)-The Stobbs bill, modifying the provisions of the drastic Jones five and ten" prohibition law. was passed to-day by the house with the senate amend ments. It now goes to the presi- dent for signature.
 As amended, the bill will impose the more drastic penalties of the Jones law only on sales of more than q gallon of liquor, or on per- son convicted of dry law violation within the previous two years. This 1t is understood, will make 1t impos- sible for a man who merely peddles a half pint to be sentenced to prison for five years. at the same time pay ing a fine of $10,000.
 In manufacturing cases. proof of connivance of second person must be given.
 A third attempt in the house to send the drought relief bill to con- ference was blocked by Representa- tive La Guardia, republican, N. Y., for thre successive days La Guardia has objected to a conference with the senate on the bill unless his pro- posal to provide food loans for city dwellers is embodied therein.
 The bill as originally passed by the house calls for appropriation of $45.000,0O0, as requested by Presi- dent Hoover The senate Moniay added a total of $15, 5,000,000 for loans for human food. La Guardia insists that the bill be recommitted to specify that city dwellers share in the food loans

EXTRA SESSION
 OF CONGRESS IS ALMOST CERTAIN

Washington. Jan s-(UP)-Pros- poets for an extra session of con- gress after March 1 were increased considerably to-day with word from an authoritative source that the Wickersham commissions prohibl- ton report would be sent to con- gress by President Hoover as soon as he receives 1t.
 It is possible the report may be sent to the White House before the next meeting of the commission Wednesday. It has been completed and is now being mimeographed. it is understood.
 Simultaneously with word of the presidents intentions, administra- tion leaders in congress concen- trated their efforts to avoid a spe- cial session. We'll aware that the ex- tended debate, which they regard a.; inevitable when the prohibition re- port Is submitted, would seriously delay the necessary appropriation bills. they are contemplating resort to an emergency measure to cope with the situation.
 That would be in the form of a continuing resolution which in one move would continue in effect for the next fiscal year the appropria- tions voted by the past session of congress for this fiscal year. Such a resolution may be introduced about February IS if several of the appro- priation bills still are unpassed. With one-third of the short session over, none of the II supply meas ures has been passed by the senate thus far.
 The president is understood to have decided upon immediate sub- mission of the prohibition report against the advice of congressional leaders, who had warned that 1t would be virtually impossible to hold debate within bounds so as not to impede necessary legislation. MT Hoover, however, appeared to feel he was duty bound to submit the report as soon as 1t was received.
