New York Stocks
BY MAX BUCKINGHAM
United Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-Trading
slowed down on the stock market to-
day and prices eased off fractions
to more than a point.
There were long intervals during
the two hour session when no quo
tationS came out. What blocks did
were small. The one exception was
a $4,000 share block of Radio Cor
poration, at a fractional loss, which
was merely a cross sale.
Fixing Of a government gold price
cents above Fridays quotation and
more than dollar above Londons
quotation, had little or no effect.
Chief worry in Wall Street concern
ed possibility of government regula-
ton of share and commodity mar
kets. This was added to dissatisfac-
ton on Rail Co-ordinator Eastman
rejection of steel company bids for
more than 100000 tons of steel rails.
The trading community had look
ed forward to acceptance OF the
steel company bids as an incentive
to bring life into declining steel op-
erations. Steer companies were silent
as to future plans.
With these heavy factors prevail
ing, the stock market sagged off
along with lower wheat prices and
a slightly lower cotton market.
Wheat prices rose from their lows.
United States Steel was off more
than a point to slightly above 80,
American Telephone showed frac-
tional decline at 11512. American
Can was fractionally lower.
Heaviest losses were felt in min
ing and repeal issues. U. S. Smelling
let the former down with loss OF
more than 2 points to 9312. Cerro de
Pasco was about point lower, while
Mcintyre Porcupine was off almost
2 points. In the repeal group Ma

Gable Bugs Shown
Several organizations planned to
visit the telephone show en- masse
tonight, according to word received
by R. j. Kliegel, manager. Local
business houses also sent their con-
gratulations and expressions of ap-
probation to telephone employees
who staged the show, marking a
quarter century of telephone service
here. A display of telephone ma
terials and equipment has been at
tracing many in the window of
the Imperial Valley Hardware COM
pany, 525 Main Street.
The cable displays in. the patio
of the telephone plant are getting
much attention. Gable bugs" a
queer species Of insects who include
lead cable Sheaths in their bill-of-
fare, unconsciously provided an ex-
hibit of intense interest for the
local show Pieces of the damaged
Sheaths are on display, showing
how the bugs can interfere with
good telephone service.
AS the show drew towards its
closing hours, officials of the COM
pany urged prospective visitors of
all ages to come as early as pos
Sible this evening to avoid the
last minute rush which seemed in
evitable at late hour today. 1t
was pointed out that people in Ell
Centre who could not attend the Ell
Centro open house can see a con-
tinuation of the telephone ex-
position at Brawley next Tuesday
and Wednesday at the telephone
plant in that city.

BERLIN, March 29.-The Hitler Government was silent today as the dominant National Socialist Party went ahead organizing committees throughout the country to stop all Jewish business and professional activity by next Saturday. Even school attendance by Jewish chil- dren is to be reduced.
 Two newspapers, not dominated by the Nazi Party, today warned the Government of possible effects.
 One prominent Jewish newspaper enyisaged the revival of the Middle Age ghettos or isolating of Jews in separate villages such as those of gypsies throughout Europe.
 Makes No Prediction
 The newspaper said it was inn possible to predict whether the Government win intervene in boy colts already in effect in several sections of the country.
 The newspaper said there are strained relations in our own ranks caused by the reported counter re- volt movement in Brunswick in- volving the Steel Helmet organiza- tion"
 Former Friends Split
 Of 1,500 arrested at Brunswick, only 150 men remained in custody there. Those still under arrest are described as Leftist leaders. They and the Nazi Storm Troopers fought side by side to establish the Hitler regime and shared police duties. Now it is said Republican defense force is being formed to oust the Nazis.

TACOMA, Wash, March 29.- Prospective dealers in wines and beer were warned yesterday not to forget the pre-Prohibition Federal license on retailers and wholesal- CTS. The warning was given by Burns Poe, Collector of Internal Revenue for Washington and AL aska.

 If only beer is handled, the wholesaler pays $50 and the retail CT pays $20.
 These fees are not affected in anyway by the passage of the new beer bill, Collector Poe said.
