American Can company brought
selling into the stock market in the
last few minutes of trading today
and turned the list irregular after
rise of fractions to more than 2
points.
Can directors voted the regular
quarterly payment on the common

ment of the extra 81 ordinarily

in the day, directors of Allied Chem
ical declared the regular quarterly

Until the announcement of the
American Can dividend, the market
had been slowly moving upward. 1t
overcame some selling in the early
trading and turned dull on a re-
coyery that lasted until near the
close. Most of the news of the day
was considered favorable for fur

22s points, before the dividend news
came out. 1t then dropped to be-
low 81. Allied Chemical made
quick response to its regular divi-
dend and moved up to 82la from rs.
Toward the close it lost all the
gain.
Steel news was chiefly favorable.
Dow, Jones 81 Company, estimated
the industry as a whole up 2h
points for the week and the U. S.
Steel corporation up 3 points. Steel
common reached As, up "a points,
but fell back to around 43 late in
the day.

innate of the industry was not as
encouraging as some of the reviews.
Steel closed at 431s. up Is; Case

phone 112A, IF 6. United Aircraft
was active for time but it lost all
of its gains. Railroad issues de-
clined with the main list as did
utilities.
During the early trading selling
was heavy in Drus. Inc, following
announcement by the company it
would have to undergo reorganiza-
ton if its rentals were not reduced
for it's nationwide retail drug chain

off 6as, and closed at 1895.
Alaska Juneau had squirt near
the close on a report directors con-
templated raising the annual divi-
dend rate. Some observers were of
the opinion a pool was again oper-
ating in the stock.
Mack Trucks had a period of
strength early in the day and the
farm equipments provided bright
spot when prices were advancing.

tons the Dow, Jones 81 Co., in

i discussed with the President the
passage OF joint resolution authoriz-
ing the War Department to throw open
its facilities for the proper care Of the
transient boy.
While some think it is a State prob
lem. 1t Is entirely impossible for the
States separately to take care of the
situation. The mere announcement that
State was prepared to look after the
welfare of these transient boys would
Undoubtedly bring about trek to that
State.
Recalls War DAYS.
Therefore it seems to me it must
be solved through action of the Federal
Government. My suggestion is not
made from any charitable or philan-
thropic motive. because I'm convinced
that many Of these boys would not sub
ject themselves to any such treatment
When the many training camps
were in operation during the war, these
boys went in the interest Of their coun-
try. In my Judgment it is just as much
in the interest of the country that the
facilities should be provided now if the
future Is to be approached intelligently.
The problem should not be difficult
of solution by the War Department.
With all the forts, tents and other ia
cilities they have. and with a staff Of
Army officers with plenty Of time and
trained in handling groups, they could
with moderate appropriations feed these
boys and keep them in training as long
as economic conditions make 1t nee

Chairman Collier today issued a
formal statement stressing his opposi-
ton to sales tax proposals pending
before the Ways and Means Committee.
which is to NEST Wednesday to canvass
the fiscal condition Of the Government.
The Mississippi Democrat said re-
ports that he was urging consideration
of the sales tax were not correct, but
that the proposal would be before the
committee for confederation along with
other revenue propositions.
The meeting OF the committee next
Wednesday" Collier said, will be merely
a policy meeting and, following the
usual custom, all pending matters Will
be laid before the members for such
action as they deem proper
II have repeatedly stated that when
the Ways and Means Committee meets
next week to consider program or
work for the remainder Of the short
session the question Of whether or not
there would be any revenue revision
would naturally be discussed" he said
After the committee considers the
situation from every angle II will then
be up to the members to decide on the
policy to be pursued. This Is also true
of other matters that will be considered
by the committee, and, obviously, 1t
would be presumptuous for me to an
