 New York, Dec 21.-(UP)-The stock market settled down to it's recent routine today and volume shrank to around million share pace. Aside from 8 half dozen or so changes from the previous close were less than a point with gains and losses about equally distrib- uted.
 Weak spots of yesterdays selloff were dull and moved more narrow ly. Among them Union Bag and Paper gained more than a point, while Atlas Tack lost a point and Industrial Rayon was down frac- ton.
 A few issues made declines rang ing to points. U. S. Industrial Alcohol one of these, touched 49 1-2 off before meeting meager support. Other wet stocks swere steadier. American Chicle touch ed Al off 2 1-2, while Continental Baking was off nearly 4 points at 10. North American made a new low for the year on a fractional decline. Commercial solvents lost point.
 Independent Steel company shares were firm but U. S. Steel failed to gain. Bethlehem was up a point, National nearly point and Republic up fractionally.
 A. M. Byers was a notable ex- ception in the steel group, break ing points to 20 1-8. It recov- cred slightly from that low but support was small. There was no specific reason for the selling in the issue.
 Automobile issues were firmer with Chrysler the most active stock on the board. Mercantile is- sues were mixed in narrow range.

Changes From Previous Close Were Less Than Point
 With Gains and Losses Divided

Rails were about steady. Chem icals held gains with Du Pont al S9 up 1S3-S. Utilities eased off, but communications were steadier. Min ing issues moved irregularly in narrow range. Local fractions con- tinued firm on hopes of a rise in subway fares in New York city. Farm equipments were practically unchanged. Oils had a brief period of activity which was not followed up.
 As in recent sessions, some of the inactive preferred issues were sharply lower. One of these to- day was Freeport Texas preferred which dropped more than 14 points. N
 There was nothing >in the news to affect the market. The dollar firmed up moderately on retention of the R. F. c. gold price at $34.06 but this was not considered a mar ket factor. Bonds were aided by the higher dollar and United States government issues advanced.
 Commodities were better than yesterday, although many declined. heat lost A to 1 cent bushel, but corn rose h to B cent and OLHeT STdlHS WSEG StCd0y " Silver and rubber futures were mixed, hides higher and silk lower. Cotton held around the previous close.
 Many traders left the market to- day for an extended vacation over the Christmas day holiday.

WILLPUT MATTER
 TO SCHOOL BOARD
Supt. COndOn Pleased With Offer of C. w. A. to Pay
 Teachers

Encouraged by plans announced at the meeting of state educators with CWA officials in Hartford this morning. Thomas J. Condon, school superintendent, said this afternoon that he plans to get Waterbury's quota of 25 unemployed school teachers to work as soon as pos sible. The normal school and col lege graduates will be paid by the CWA at the rate of $50 month, while class materials must be fur nished by the city.
 Before the projects can be &C., tually begun, the board of educa- tion must signify it's approval, but confident of its support in the re- lief plan, MT Condon is studying proposed classes to absorb the newly employed teachers.
 Most of the teachers given work in this city will be placed over adult and postgraduate courses, it is believed, though no actual ar engagements have been made. The problem of getting enough new pupils for the 25 teachers must also be met.

Hartford. Conn, December 21- (UP) - A communication from the Connecticut Beer, Wine and
 Liquor Dealers Association, re- questing a special session of the legislature. and pointing out way to increase state revenue from liquor law changes. has been re-
 ceived by Governor Cross, he an- nounced today. The governor said he had replied to the letter. which was signed by Lewis S. Lauria. of Waterbury, executive secretary to the organization.
 Lauria called attention to the fact the state has been forced to borrow $3.00O,000 this fall to meet current expenses, and asserted "visible deficit of $7.000, ,000' for the year was in prospect. Lauria then pointed out changes in the law which. if enacted at a special session, would permit rep utable clubs, hotels, restaurants and taverns to sell liquor under an average fee of $500 year. This would bring the state a return of about $f,800,000 annually. A sales tax on liquor would return the state an additional s2.000, ,00o I.auria estimatedt

 Washington, Dec 21.-(UP)- Outcome of the currency imitation dispute impending in congress ap- peared today to depend upon the reaction to surprise programs pro- posed last night by Speaker Rainey and Senator Thomas, dem, Okla. Both spoke in New York.
 Rainey pumped for remQpetiZa- ton of silver. Thomas tWmpted conservatives of both parties with promise to support a general sales tax in exchange for votes to expand the currency.
 The Capitol was slow to accept Speaker Rainey's ideas as categori- cally representative of administra- ton sentiment. Observers recalled that he had not hesitated in the past to advance his own ideas re- gardless of White House opinion. But the belief spread on Capitol Hill that the least President Roose- welt could do this winter to ward off an imitation relNllion in con- gress would be to give some recog- milton to silver as money.
 Administration acceptance of the Rainey plan would divide the silver bloc in congress. It would satisfy all but the comparatively few who insist that silver must be remonet- ized on fixed ratio with gold preferable 16 to 1.
 The satisfied members of the silver bloc would withdraw from the rebel group which is threaten ing to compel Mir Roosevelt to ex- pand the currency. Without the votes represented by that group the currency expansionists would be impotent except as hecklers. They could not legislate.
 It is, in fact, doubtful whether the currency expansion phalanX could muster a two-thirds veto ma- jority in either house even if, it's ranks were unbroken. But on that issue MT Roosevelt is likley to ap- proach nearest to defeat in con gross.
 Rainey's hope that gold will be bid up to $41.34 an ounce, twice the gold standard dollar value of the metal, thus depreciating the dollar 50 per cent, generally is sup ported in congress.
 Senator Pittman, dem, Nev, pre- dicted two months ago that gold would go to $41.34 and that tho dollar would be stabilized there. Then, he said, the president would turn to silver.
 But Rainey contends the United States cannot undertake to main- tain ratio between gold and si1- yer. In other words, there must be no 16 to 1 or other ratio sponsored by this government. That clashes with the economics of Senator Wheeler, dem, Mont, and the re- monetization group he leads.
 Instead of a ratio, Rainey pro- posed a double standard of metal backed currency. Treasury silver certificates would call for redemp- ton in silver bullion. Gold certi- ficates would be redeemable in gold. The single gold standard, he said. is impossible for the United States.

who had grown more distraught as the passing hours indicated he might have been the victim of foul play. He explained that for the past 24 hours his mind had been blank. He came to himself in a room in the Pennsylvania hotel, saw newspaper with his name coupled with the word "kfdnap" in large type and rushed home.
 He seemed pale and somewhat unsteady oh his feet. He was or- dered to bed and physician min- istered to him. Detectives ques- tioned him for almost an hour and then left the apartment, an- nouncing the case was dropped. At the Livermore apartment detectives had taken over one room as an emergency headquarters and or dered a special telephone installed They rushed in and out with mys- terious witnesses who were ques- toned and permitted to leave. Oc- casionally, police officials an- |nounced that 10 ransom demands" had been received.
 Detectives had checked Liver more's movements before he went to the hotel. Tuesday afternoon he left the apartment and went by taxi to his office in the financial district. The taxi driver said that en route he suffered an attack of nausea but said he was all right when he left the machine. He stayed at his office only a short while. It was believed he had gone directly from the office to the hotel.
 Detectives also learned that Liv- ermore, who had been believed "broke" last spring due to market reverses, was now we'll on the way toward a new fortune. His associ- ates said he was doing well in the market again.

INJUNCTION OF TAVERN OWNERS
 BEING STUDIED
Temporary Injunction De- nied and Permanent One
 is Under Advisement

Hartford, Conn. Dec 21.-(UP) Judge Alfred c. Baldwin today had a motion for permanent in junction against the state liquor control board under advisement, following a long hearing in su- perior court yesterday afternoon. The order was asked to prevent the liquor board from making ef- fective it's order against taverns serving hot lunches. Judge Bald win, at the conclusion of the hear ing, refused to issue temporary injunction to be effective over the holidays.
 The case was brought by s. L. Fiducia, a local tavern owner. Eel low tavern keepers from all parts of the state attended the hearing and many of them testified. The board previously had permitted taverns to serve hot food, and in order to do this many owners in- stalled expensive equipment, the court was told. Denied the right to serve hot lunches during the cold weather many of them face bankruptcy, they testified.
 Frank Bergin, member of the
 liquor board, testified the order was issued because many of the taverns were actually entering the restaurant business by serving meals. The board felt it was necessary to issue the order so that the classifications between taverns and restaurants be more clearly es- tablished. Tavern owners testified they made little or no profit on the food promoted the sale of more beer

GOLD BUYING BY PRESIDENT MAY
 BECONTINUED
It is an Ambitious Effort to Promote Rising C0n1-
 mOdity Prices
RY RICHARD D. GRIDLEY

l Omitted Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, December 21 - (UP) = New declines in stock and commodity prices together with prospects of more active congress sional demand for imitation might force the administration to adopt
 more aggressive gold buying pro-
 gram, it was said in informed quarters today.
 No mention of the governments gold buying program was made Tn the December issue of the federal reserve bulletin, out today, although many federal reserve or ficials are known to be out or
 sympathy with the gold program; Officials comment was withheld on yesterdays decline in the se- curity and commodity markets.
 The administrators gold buying
 program, however, is an ambitious effort to promote rising commod- ity prices and it would not sur prise many officials to see the gold price raising accelerated if the
 weakness persists.
 A part of the 5 1-2 per cent ad-
 vance in commodity prices since
 October 21, when gold buying be- gan, has been lost in the past few
 days, although the price of gold
 has been sustained at record levels. A five cent advance in the price to, $34.06 an ounce was made
 Monday after the domestic buying rate had been held at $34.01 since the start of the month.
 The Federal Reserve Bulletin resumed carrying business sur
 vey, admitted in the November
 issue.
 An expansion in building was re- ported to have resulted from the public works program and sea- sonal increase in country bank de- posits was said to have resulted from deposit of funds from mar keted crops and funds received from the governments AAA and FCA activities.
 The Bulletin also reported sta-
 biIity in business during November
 after the sharp decline in the pre-
 ceding three months. These ob-
 seryations were similar to those contained in the December Survey
 of Current Business published by
 the Department of Commerce,
 which reported that "the move-
 ment of the weekly indicators sug-
 gests that the recession which has
 been in progress since July, may have come to an end during No- vembe1.." Along with the rising price Of gold in the world markets, the bulletin noted an increase in for eign private and unreported hold ings. These holdings during De- tober it was said more than offset newly mined gold and absorbed
 some of the gold lost by the for
 eign central banks.
 The bulletin reported shrink
 age in the Bank of Frances gold reserves at the rate of $25, 5,OOO,O0o weekly, a part of which has not found its way into the vaults of other central banks.

(Continued from Page D speed the allotment of new Guota.
 The FACA announced that inn port licenses had been issued to cover the entire quota of French wines and liquors based on a four months average of the 1910-1914 imports from France. Until new quota is approved, no more French wines or liquors may be imported into this country.
 The allotment of a new quota for France was held up when it was learned that France had proposed to increase dractically the import taxes on American apples and pears which were the chief Ameri- can agricultural products to benefit from the reciprocal trade agree ment on which the larger wine and liquor quota was to have been based.
 The French representatives have attempted vainly to convince the authorities here that these in- creased taxes on apples and pears would not affect materially the consumption of those fruits in France.

ROBERTL. LUND
 GIVES PRAISE TO i RECOVERY PLAN
President of Manufactur=
 CTS Says It is Good But i Hits Labor

Philadelphia, Dec 21.-UP)- The president of the National As- Bociation of Manufacturers an- alyzed the presidents MIRA pro- gram to-day and found it good.
 Robert l.. Lund, member of the MIRA industrial advisory board and head of one of the most power full business organizations in the country, approved every act of the administration in its attempt to end the depression. His only criticism concerned the labor unions, which he said were trying to use the MIRA as a springboard to increase their memberships.
 Tn framing the National Indus trial Recovery Act the national ad- ministration and congress have vim dicted the policies and philosophy of American Industry" Lund said in an address before the Phila- delphia Chamber of Commerce.
 "The new securities act imposes severe restrictions upon institutions which issue stocks and sbonds," he explained. '"The new banking act imposes strict limitations on bank ing institutions. The agricultural adjustment act places q powerful QtulIlS Hduu OH dSTICutIuTc. lHG industrial recovery act, in the en- couraging words of the president himself, was designed to set up a partnership between government and business"
 The philosophy of the act is to release business and industry from the shackles of the antitrust laws, which for 50 years have made it impossible for business manage mont to set it's house in order"
 .fhe act lifts those restrictions. authorizing industries to get to- gether for the purpose of self-gov- ernment. There could be no more definite nor more gratifying evil dence of trust in business manage ment, nor stronger denial of the theJis of those who have attempt ed to lay responsibility for the depression at the doorstep of in dustry."
 Lund pointed to higher prices in agriculture and industry, to in- creased employment and higher wages as being attributable to MT Roosevelt's program. These de- velopments compare more than fav- 0rably with statistics of other na- lions, he said.
 Labor organizers, he added, have not hesitated to misrepresent the purposes and provisions of the act, nor to cause industrial disturb ances where necessary to bring about recognition"

VATICAN STATE
 PAY CUT HURTS
There Are RumOrs Pope Plus Might Suspend It
 Because of Conditions

Vatican City, Dec. 21.-UP).- Workers of the little Vatican State looked hopefully to Pope Plus to- day for suspension of pay cut or der which threatened to make their Christmas gloomy. Complaints were heard all over the city at the fact that the cut came before Christ mas, at time when Vatican work CTS usually get double pay.
 There were rumors that the Pope might suspend the cut, due to go into effect New Years day. Non- resident workers particularly were angry at the cut. It was decided to reduce pay because the cost of liv- ing is so low in Vatican City with goods exempt from customs or rev enue duties. and with many work CTS getting free quarters. Non-resi- dents, however, live in the Rome area where the cost of living is relatively high.
