New York, Sept. 23- (UP) - Traders withdrew from the stock market today pending further de- velopments in the European crisis and at a consequence volume slackened to the lightcst in weeks despite a firm tone in prices.
 Opening gains of fractions to almost points held through until The final hour when prices slipped from their highs >coincident with announcement by Joseph P. Ken nedy that James M. Landis would become the next chairman of the securities and exchange commits sion. Rail shares were prominent in slipping.
 Prior to the final hour, the war situation had attracted chief atten- tion. There was a little hopeful ness as result of weekend develop ments between Italy and Ethiopia which resulted in the opening gains of fractions to more than a point-but not sufficient to bring in general buying. Professionals and the smaller traders kept to safety and made no attempt to push the advance that had started.
 Commodities, however, continued to bespeak of trading nervousness. Wheat lost fractions to more than cent in Chicago. Liverpool wheat prices were lower. Cotton prices were firm but trading was dull. Bonds were strong and quiet.
 Foreign currencies wavered er- S-of lx fra showing an early loss, came back above the previous close but most other currencies were lower in re- lation to the dollar.

 Industrial shares were leaders from the outset in the stock mar ket with Chrysler more than 2 points higher at its high before meeting a little late selling. U. s. Steel had more than a point gain at 45 1-2, Westinghouse had more than 2 points gain at 76 1-2 and American Can at 142 IA was more than 2 points higher. All slipped from their peaks but maintained gains. [

LAWYERS CONFER
 UPON BILLINGS

San Francisco, Sept. 23-UP)- Attorneys representing Tom Mooney in his application for a writ of habeas corpus called on the Cali fornia supreme court today to de- eide whether Warren K. Billings. convicted on the same murder charges, shall be forced to testify in the former labor leaders behalf. The Mooney counsel asked spe- cifically for authority to move the habeas corpus hearings to Folsom prison, where Billings is serving a life sentence.
 Court approval would mean that Mooney and Billings. once the best of friends but now indifferent to- ward each other, would meet for the first time since they were plac- ed in separate prisons years ago.
 It would mean that Billings would be questioned against his will on details of the preparedness day bombing case in which he and Mooney were convicted of murder.

The Connecticut Tavern Owners Association, Inc, through it's ex- ecutivc secretary, Edward J. Ryan of Thomaston has begun action to see1 refunds which are due on the unexpired terms Of the old tavern permits. The association will also arrange for the release of the $1.- 0O1 bond which all tavern owners were required to post as security under the old law.
 Attorney General Edward J. Da has already ruled that the state comptroller make all refunds on the unexpIred part of the old permits which have not run over six months. As yet no tavern own CT h received a refund which in many cases amounts to almost $50
 The bond which the association seeks to have released immediately has been eliminated under the new liquor control act thereby saving each tavern owner a bonding fee of $20.00 per year.
 The tavern keepers, MT. Ryan stated today claim that their tav- ern business has dropped from 20 to 30% weekly because they are compelled to remain closed on Sun day while their competitors the restaurants, are allowed to remain open. MT. Ryan pointed out that it is only natural that 8 person who wishes to procure alcoholic liquors on Sunday will go into restaurant and will return there during the week with the result that tavern owners will lose more and more of their business as time goes by.
 ciation will meet at Emma's hall, Main street, Derby, on Tuesday af- tetrnoon at 2:30 for the purpose of hearing reports of vital interest to their business. Ryan said today

 From Campaign
BY CLIFFORD l.. DAY

Copyright 1885 By United Press)
 London, Sept. 23-UP)-An of fcial communlque on the reason for British fleet concentration in the Mediterranean disclosed today the real gravity of Italian British relations.
 Intended as an assurance to Italy, the communique said the concentration, and military and na- val measures generally, were not intended as a "maneuver" or any thing like that but "as a natural consequence of the impression created by the violence of the cam paign against the united kingdom which has been conducted by the Italian press during the last few weeks"
 The Italian Press is closely con- trolled by Benito Mussolini, hence the significance of the statement.
 Sir Eric Drummond, ambassa- dor to Italy, visited Fulvio Luvich. under secretary for foreign affairs. at Rome Friday.
 They decided, it was said author. ftatively. that the best means 10 reduce tension would be to issue communiques. Britain's war:
 'His majesty's ambassador 10 Rome called on signor Suvich, un- der secretary of state for foreign affairs. July 20 in order to com municate in the name of his ma jesty's government in the united Kingdom the movements of the British fleet and endorsements of men and material of British Garrisons in the Mediterranean n. adding that they were not intend ed to imply any aggressive inten- tions on the part of his majesty's g government.
 He explained that such meas ures were taken as the natura consequence of the impression created by the violence of the cam. paigp against the 'unitcd kingdom which has been conducted by the Italian press in the last few weeks
 "Signor Suvich made an anala. gous com munication in which he stated that he was authorized 10 declare to the ambassador that Italian military preparations in the Mediterranean basin were purely of . precautionary nature and had no aggressive aim"
 The cabinet will meet tomorrow to consider the crisis. It vii; bc the first full meeting since minis ters were hurriedly summoned Au- gust 21 when the Italian situation first beca me acute.
