 Additional margin selling weS easily absorbed at the opening on the stock exchange. Orders on both sides continued heavy and 1t was necessary again to bunch them into large blocks which were sold at prices supervised by governors of the exchange.
 Initial gains in stocks ranged to more than 2 points. Steel shares were in demand. Utilities improved. Some hard-hit issues of yesterdays sellout came back substantially. Railroads joined the rise and oils made broad gains.

 U. s. Steel appeared on the tape 8 minutes after the opening at 59 off 3 1-8 on 5000 shares.
 Radio Corporation opened 5000 shares at 6 1-2 up IA.
 Prices declined after the opening in a long list of issues. Steel com mon, however, rallied from its sharp setback. Chrysler continued to slip back. New York Central, which opened $500 shares at 17 5-8 off 7-S, eased further. Trading was very active with tickers falling be- hind the market.
 Curb stocks were firm at the ovt- set.
 More Cheerful
 London, Oct. 20-(UP)- The stock exchange opened more cheer full today despite some bewilder- ment at the situation in Wall Street. Stocks generally moved cautiously upward.
 BabsOn Gives Advice
 London, Oct. 20-(Up)-Now is the time to purchase selected Amer ican equities, war or no war, Roger w. Babson, noted American econ- omist, advised British investors to- day.
 In a message in the financial news he warned British investors not to be panicky regarding the United States provided they own their shares outright in companies that have not been attacked by la- bor difficulties.
 T am very glad to see this break because labor has become most un- ruly," Babson said lon the assump- ton that there were no limits to profits while labor leaders them selves were gambling in the stock market and even employees felt that Wall Street was one way street with stocks going up.
 "This break is bringing everyone

MISSING SAFE
 CONTAINS S35O
EmplOye of COca.COla Co. Victim of Nervy
 Burglary

Lieutenant Detectives Connie Shanahan and Henry Johnson learned toda. that the safe stolen Monday night from the local plant of the Coca Cola company contained S350 instead of $200 as previously re- ported.
 The additional $l50 represented savings of an employe of the plant, who had asked the manager, James Adams to hold 1t for safe-keeping Police refused to divulge the name of the employe. ..
 Manager Adams told the detec- tives that when he first reported the loss of $200 he lad forgotten about the funds of his employe, and had only considered the company's money.
 At the present time police are con- certing their efforts to locate the truck which was stolen from the plant and used to transport the safe. Because of Its conspicuous color and markings police are cer- tain that the thieves will not try to remove 1t from its hiding place. It is believed that safe and truck will be found in identical spots, with the contents of the safe removed.

ITALY MAY NEVER
 AGREE TO PLANS

London, Oct. 20-(UP)-Britain and France renewed negotiations today on action to be taken in event negotiations on withdrawal of foreign volunteers from the Spanish Civil War prove vain.
 Many statesmen believed that collapse of the entire Spanish non- intervention agreement was immi- nent and some thought that Q meeting this afternoon of the "chairman's subcommittee" of the non n-interventionist powers would mark the final breakdown.
 It was learned that the British and French foreign offices were in continuous contact.
 Britain hoped that some unfore- seen development might permit a compromise between the demands of Britain, France and Russia on one side and Italy, Germany and Portugal on the other.
 Little hope was apparent, how ever, that any compromise could be found between conflicting ideas of the Fascist-Nazi and Democratic blocs on withdrawal of volunteers.

 'The most attractive issues are chemicals and oils with motors about half way .. in fact 1t would not be surprising if motors do not roturn to their former high. But I believe that chemicals, oils and some steels will see higher prices next year than this.
 English investors must not for- get that the whole world is headed for imitation which should material ly benefit companies owning large natural resources"
