NEW YORK, Oct. 29-Despite the
continuance of generally constructive
business news, the stock market to-
day emerged from a rather unsatis-
factory week with drifting decline.
While losses. on the whole, were
inconsequential. there were few
weak spots during the days proceed
ings. But numerous issues were un-
changed and here and there modest
plus signs were maintained.
The Associated Press average of so
stocks was off 2 Of point at 52.4,
with the net recession for the week
amounting to Z. The setback fol-
lowed five consecutive weekly ad-
vances and was attributed, more than
anything else, to the fact speculative
forces inclined to garner profits be-
cause of the lengthy upswing.
Analysts were encouraged by the
slackening of volume on the selI-off.
The days turnover OF 6l3,99O shares
compared with 1,l26.53O last Satur-
day and the 6-day volume was nearly
100000 shares under that of the
preceding week.
Uncertainties Cited.
The apathy of the 2-hour proceed
lngs was related mainly to some con-
fusion regarding the extent of initial
utility spending in the new war de-
1ense power expansion program and
the disposition of the financial Sec
tor to await the decision of the
Presidents Fact-Finding Committee
on the rail wage controversy.
The latter, coming some time after
the close. and recommending that the
roads withdraw their demand for a
Is per cent reduction in pay rates,
was disappointing to most in Wall
Street. On the San Francisco Ex-
change, Southern Pacific slumped
around u on receipt of the news.
Losses Of to around 3 points today
were suffered by Cerro de Pasco, Johns
Manville, American Smelling, Allied
Chemical. Philip Morris and Santa Fe.

solidated Edison. American Water

Rubber, Youngstown Sheet. Douglas

$4,000 week ago.
During the week brokers noted
that low-priced stocks were the lives
Hest IN long time. with issues SELL
ing under $40 share accounting for
a large proportion of the turnover.
In addition to the huge utility
construction program, sentiment was
buoyed by further upturn in steel
ana automobile production, a more
than seasonal increase in electric out
put, another jump in residential
building and a revival of retail SPEND
ing.
Railway shares were among the
weeks best performers, although there
was a contraseasonal drop in the
preceding weeks freight loadings. I'm

Fashions From
New York
by S. D. RLoEME

A new fabric, cloque rayon with
horizontal, vertical and irregular
rows Of matelasse flowers in shin
ing black on dull black back
ground, is sensational in it's dra-
matte appeal for mid-season wear.
Day costumes in this material are
fashioned in the bloused back and
soft bodice blOusing to make your
hips appear slim and to silhouette
the waistline. These have that
'frost-ice" appearance that is so
necessary when one wants to
look cool One particularly good
example is in the silhouette de-
sign having Long Victorian
shoulder sleeves with three cloth
covered buttons at the wrist, a
narrow belt girdling the waist and
tieing in a row in front. The
neckline is high, relieved by a
small collar in white grosgrain.
This costume, worn with one of
the new metal flowers high on the
bodice, has definite style in line
and color; but it is the added
jewel accessory that sets it apart.
This seems to be true of all the
new wOmen's apparel It's jewel
ry this year in big way! Every
one will be appearing in some
sort of novelty accessory as the
season progresses into fall.
Chatelaines, jeweled combs and
ear-clips, heavy metal flowers,
wide shinese or nautch-danceT
necklaces and charm bracelets
belt chatelaines with dozens OF
tiny ornaments attached to dangIe
at the hip, neckbands holding
heavy encrusted gems and plumeC
maid-caps, are just a few of the
items the worlds couturiers are

to comb out the patch of curls
that sit highly on the front of the
head. These look most becoming
when the hair is down, too Sport
coats and suits demand as much
attention to the coiffeur as does
the formal attire. It's sort of a
"noblesse oblige," to have that
rugged "air" when donning a
sports ensemble not the ill-be-
coming "air" that one has when
forgetting the party is over at
dawn. So down with your hair at
the crack of dawn You'll never
regret it.

PART-TIME CHARWOMEN
PAY INCREASE VOTED

Thousands OF charwomen and char
men working in the Government
service on part-time basis for so
cents an hour will receive a pay
increase Of cents an hour under a
bill passed by the House yesterday.
At the same time, the House was
told by Chairman Romjue Of the
Post ONCE and Post Roads Committee.
the Civil Service Committee plans to
start hearings soon on another bill
which would extend the increase to
other Federal employees in the same
grade as the charworkers.
President Roosevelt, some time ago,
vetoed a bill which would have in
creased the pay Of the part-time
charworkers in the Post Office De-
partment on the ground it discrimi-
mated against this class OF employe in
other Federal departments as we'll as
classified civil service workers in the
low-salaried brackets.
The bill passed by the House is
designed to remove one of the Presi-
den's objections since the increase
would apply to charvorkers in all
Federal establishments. Ninety-two
per cent Of the beneflciaries, however
are under the Post Once Department.
The Presidents other objection is
expected to be removed in the bill to
be considered by the Civil Service
Committee.

time profiteering, advocating a vir-

sive of Wisconsin, drafted the pro-
posed amendment, which he has
suggested to the Military Affairs Com.
mittee. It would levy on manufac-
turers Of armaments and implements
of war a tax Of 95 per cent of their
income above a three-year peacetime
average.
Originally, the bill included this
tax feature but it has been deleted

The Progressives hope to prevail

it on the House floor when the bill
comes up, possibly next week.
The Progressives have been cold
to the Hin-sheppard bill in its pres
ent form, contending it is q useless
measure without strong tax clause.
With this. they said. it would receive
their unanimous support.
AS drafted, the bill would give the
PRESIDENT price-fixing powers, strict
regulatory authority over commodity

thority. and restrict wartime profits
