FAILURE PULLS
MARKET D 0 " N
Leaders Slump | to 3
Points on News
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, March 8 G.N.S.)
Failure of the Stock Exchange
firm Of Richard Whitney & Co.
under circumstances now being
investigated. brought the sixth
successive stock market decline
today.
Leaders slumped l to more
than 3 points following news of
the insolvency and suspension,
and trading was at a slightly &C.
Celerated pace. The market was
mixed and relatively steady at
the opening, but this lasted
briefly.
BLUE CHIPS REACT
Steels. coppers, rails, chemicals
and blue chip issues led the
further market reaction.
Du Pont. National Steel and
Westinghouse Electric were
among the shares to break three
or more points, while such repre-
sentative stocks as American
Telephone. Douglas Aircraft,
Case. Union Pacific and Union
Carbide dropped two or more
points.
RECOVERY VERY WEAK
Rubber and oil issues we're
under pressure through the fore
noon. Standard Oil of New Jer-
sey, which broke through so yes
terday on a decline of 14 points,
slipped almost as much today.
Some support came into the
market just before the noon hour.
but pivotal issues were unable to
make much of recovery from
earlier extreme lows.

so much spent per child-a COM
parison can be made on that
basis, and I shall be glad to give
you those figures. But such a
comparison does not tell the whole
story. II the cost is low In a gi-
en- city and the children are being
taught IN dilapidated and UNI

who lack supervisory assistance,
then that school system is a cheap
