Stock Averages

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-A few air.

played advancing tendencies in to-
days stock market, but lack of buy
ing power put many leaders at
slightly lower levels.
The list wavered at the start and
subsequently came back for modest
gains. Recoveries failed to hold in
most cases and, near the fourth
hour, minor declines were well dis
tributed. Dealings were exception
ally slow throughout.
There was no especial change in
the generally hopeful business out
look, but the approach of the week
end apparently inspired some specu-
latlve forces to Shelve commitments,
The fact the market had risen in
five consecutive sessions also brought
out little profit taking here and
there. Year-end shifts for income
tax purposes, while hardly depress-
ing, served to tone down the buy
ing urge. The foreign picture Of
fered scant encouragement and
European currencies slipped in terms
of the dollar. Overseas securities
markets were steady.
Douglas Aircraft edged into new
high territory for the year before
eventually retreating. Boeing and
Bendlx were moderately ahead Re
sistant were Chrysler, Sears Roe
buck, Anaconda, Kennecott, Du
Pont, Owens-Illinois, International
Harvester, Standard Oil of New Jer-
sey and Phillips Petroleum. Youngs-
town Steel Door, a climber yester-
day. pushed up to a new top for

strength.
LoeWs weakened as doubts arose
regarding outcome of the stockhold-
ers' suit against the management
OF this film company Paramount

orders and motors were irregularly

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. An art as old as the pyramids but still heavily yelled in mystery is destined to play a vital part in the next great war.
 It is cryptography-the preparing and solving of secret codes.
 Battle field operations during a war take place intermittently but the battle of wits between crypto- graphers goes on continuously, says the 45-year-old principal crypana- lyst of the War Department, Lieut.. Col. William F. Friedman.
 Even in peace, the utmost se- crecy is maintained.
 Visitors are barred from the rooms in the squad munitions building where the work is actually done. And the size of Friedman's staff is kept secret.
 More Work Than Mystery
 To Friedman, who has the me- ticulous mind of the school but is not pedantic, there is more perspira- tion than mystery in his job.
 Several have had to abandon the work, he says because of their ina bility to get it off their minds and relax in off hours He himself was on the verge of nervous exhaustion for four or five years and has to be careful now. He plays golf for let down, does considerable outside reading, particularly of history. His special hobby is trying to decipher heiroglyphics of the ancient May an civilization.
 Plant breeding seems a strange introduction to secret code work but that is how Friedman got into it.
 He set up plant breeding labo- ratory on the estate of the late Col George Fabyan, near Chicago, after graduating from Cornell in 1915.
 Fabyan, convinced that Francis Bacon had written the Shake spearian works, had assembled a staff to study the Shakespeare-Ba- con ciphers, believed by some to prove Bacon's authorship.
 Friedman became interested. In

! 1916 he turned his attention to military and diplomatic codes at the suggestion of Fabyan, who an- ticipated we would be drawn into the war
 Soon the government, which had no agencies prepared to do the work, began sending Friedman crypto- grams for decipheCng. Next thing he knew, he was a First Lieutenant in military intelligence, translating German field codes on the western front.
 Hindenburg's Success Secret At the peak of it's operations in France, the U. s. Signal Corps sent 47,500 telegrams, averaging 60 words each, in one day. Most of those sent to the combat area were in sec | ret code.
 , Cipher keys and codes were chang ed every two or three days. In fu- ture wars, says Friedman, there will ] be a multiplicity of complex cryp- tograms transmitted by telegraph, telephone, radio telegraph, and. ra dio-telephone.
 l He cites Hindenburgs smashing victories over the Russian armies at the battle of Tannenburg as striking illustration of the need for secrecy.
 | Russian messages sent by radio is an antiquated code were easily interpreted by the German experts with the result that Hindenburg knew exactly what the Russian forces were going to do. Polls Prison Break
 Knowledge of how to prepare cryptogramS of sound merit is scant, according to Friedman, while Knowledge of how to solve them is possessed only by a small circle of professional government crypto- graphers.
 , Cryptography has it's peacetime uses, too. A few years ago Fried man foiled a prison break in a mid western penitentiary by deciphering the prisoners plan. It had been found in a code on the mother of one of them as she was leaving the prison after a visit.
