Steel Operations
Dip at Youngstown

YOUNGSTOWN, Dec. 3O.-Steel
production in the Youngstown
district at midweek had dipped to
1870 of capacity, off two points
from the weeks starting rate and
is likely to dip further as Valley
furnaces and Bessemers finish off
steel for orders for delivery by
December 81.
Finishing mill output is holding
firmly and schedules are unSeason-
ably strong for the last week of
December, but a slackening in
buying will cut production over
the next ten days, after which a
new upturn in ingot production
is not unlikely.

MO TOR SHARES
LEAD UPRISING
|NSTOCKS
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Dec. 80 G.N.S0,
The stock market finished the year
with a bullish demonstration, led
by the motors and including vir-
tually every share in the list.
The motor shares, notably Chrys-
Ter. were the outstanding features
in the final minutes of trading,
gaining from fractions to two
points. Chrysler mounted to a
new high for the year and the best
price since the stock market crash
in 1929.
IndustrialS Push Ahead
Prime industrial shares, such as
United States Steel, and the chem
1calS, led by du Pont, also were
taken in volume. Du Pont rushed
up more than two points to new
high for the year.
Consolidated Gas and American
Water Works were strong and lent
a fairly buoyant tone to the other
utility shares, including some of
the lower priced issues, as United
Corporation and Electric Power
and Light.
Rails were somewhat sluggish
today. New York Central, South
ern Railway, and other leading
shares in the group failed to
show any disposition to break out
on the upside. Such losses as did
take place appeared due more to
lack of interest than to aggres.
sive selling.
Specialties Are Firm
Specialties including Allied
Chemical, Johns Manville, and
United Aircraft were quiet and
firm.
The liquor shares, including Ma
tional DiStillers, United States
Industrial Alcohol were the out
standing features of the early
trading, gaining from fractions to
nearly 3 points.
Trading which was light at the
start picked up in the final hour
and turnover came close to a
million shares for the short ses-
sion:

Park Development
Here Outlined At
G.. of G.. Meeting
Last Session OF Rockville Bust
ness Men Until Next
Fall

Park development in the District of
Columbia and it's envions, including
the metropolitan area of Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties, was
outlined at the meeting of the Rock
Vile Chamber of Commerce Tuesday
night by Curtis Walker of the Mary
land National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, and H. Tudor Nor
sell of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
The meeting was the last of the
chamber until Fall. George H. Lamar,
chairman of the Program Committee,
presided.
Walker told how park lands are ap-
praised and acquired in the metro
politan districts of the two counties
and related several interesting Incl
dents in connection with purchasing
negotiations. He outlined the past de-
velopments and the steps contemp-
lated by his commission toward park
work in Montgomery and said that
4,045 acres of land will eventually be
included in the county's park system.
He explained how the money is
provided and used and predicted that
when the system is completed 1t will
mean a great deal to Rockville and
the outlying. farming districts by
providing recreational centers for the
people in this area and increasing the
value of their property without in
creasing their taxes. He said that the
park taxes are levied only against
property in the metropolitan area. A
portion of park costs is also borne by
the Federal Government, he said.
Morsell briefly referred to the ac-
tivities of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission and emph-
ASKED economy as one of its essential
functions. Under his direction motion
pictures of many beautiful canyon
and park scenes in Utah and Arizona
were shown, along with maps of park
already in existence in the Capital
and nearby Virginia and Maryland
and proposed extensions of park sys-
TENS in those sections.

AchesOn Is Upheld
Despite Opposition
From Sen. COuZenS
Conway P. COe For Commits
siOner Of Patents-BOth APP
pOintments Charged
Against County

Although Senator Couzens, of
Michigan, made a vigorous fight
against it, Dean G. Acheson, of
Sandy Spring, was confirmed Tues
day as Undersecretary of the Treas
ury.
Meanwhile the President named
another Montgomery countian, Con-
way P. Coe, of Chevy Chase, to be
Commissioner of Patents.
Both of these major appointments
are charged against Maryland and
consequently against any patronage
for Montgomery County Democrats.
Coe registered as a voter in the coun-
ty on October IA, 1880. Acheson
registered as voter on October 9,
1928. Several prominent Democrats
who have been faithful to the State
and County organization for years
point out that these appointments
will mean fewer jobs for old line
workers.
Couzens based his opposition on
the contention that Acheson's pre-
vious associations, as attorney for
large corporations, would handicap
him in performing his duty.
Sen. Tydings pointed out the NOM
inee also had represented Soviet
Russia and labor unions and said he
possessed the one thing the Govern
ment requires, ability backed up by
character and integrity"
"He has the highest concepts Of
citizenship and will give every ounce
Of his ability and uphold the integrity
Of Office in manner to please the
senator from Michigan Tydings
said. II can assure the senator if Mr.
Acheson makes any mistake it will
not be to help one group at the ex.
pense of the country as a whole"
Mr.. Coe, whose nomination was
sent to the Senate Wednesday, will
succeed Thomas H. Robertson, also a
resident of Chevy Chase.
Born in Dunlirk, Nd, Mr.. Coe
graduated from Central High School,
Washington; Randolph-Macon Col
lege and the George Washington Uni
versity Law School. He served as an
examiner in the Patent Office for
three years and has been a practicing
patent attorney for ten years.
He practiced for some time in
Akron, Ohio, but returned to Wash
ington, where he maintains offices.
He took an active part in the State
campaign in Maryland last year.
