NEW YORK, Nov. -Q.N.S0
The stock market turned reaction
airy today in quiet dealings, fol
lowing the fair-siZed recovery of
last week, with losses in the lead
ers running from l to points.
The reduced markin require.
ments of 40 per cent, which became
effective today, failed to stimulate
any buying activity. and light
profit-taking brought a slow re-
cession through the general list.
Prices were easier from the open
ing gong, working progressively
lower as the session progressed,
despite one or two attempts to
rally the market.
Steels, coppers, farm implements,
chemicals, motors and rubbers
were among the softeSt issues.
Gold mining shares displayed in
dependent strength.
U. S. Steel was selling target,
dropping more than 3 points at
one time. Bethlehem dropped 2,
while youngstown and Republic
slipped more than point.
General Motors, directors of
which meet this afternoon for
common dividend action, dropped
more than a point. ChrySler
tumbled more than 2.
Cerro de Pasco and Anaconda
each dropped about points in
copperS; Case lost 4 and Inter
national Harvester more than 2 in
farm implements: Allied Chemical
and Dupont lost more than in
chemicals; Philip Morris 3 in the
tobacco; U. s. Rubber, more than
2; and Owens-Illinois Glass, Mont

trio and Sears-Roebuck, each 2.
Commodities were dull, with

When the midshipmen returned
from their early classes they found a
Ieaf1et containing q history Of the bat
tie and a picture of the engagement
on their study tables.
Postcards carrying picture OF the
battle were available. The cards, and
all other mail going through the

Garage, told police three men in a
car hailed him as he was walking
near Tenth street and Rhode Island
avenue NV. and asked him to help
them fix the gas line of their ma
chine.
Washington said he agreed to help,
but when he started to his own car
to get a wrench was told gruff1y to
"stay there, We'll get it." While one
of the men was getting the wrench
Washington said he glanced in the
rear of the car and saw three ma
chine guns. The men drove off i'm
mediately after the line was repaired.
Washington said he tried to tele-
phone police, but, failing to get a
connection, drove to the fourth pre-
cinct in his own car and made. the
report. Capt. Ira Keck at police head
quarters, put searching force on
the highways leading out OF town,
but ordered the men in when an

brought no results.
Capt Keck said today it was posi-
