Stocks Slow
During Day


New York, Nov 21.-(AP)-
Question marks continued TO sur
round the stock market today, and
leading issues, after a feeble early
rallying gesture, settled down IN
0arroWly Irregular territory.
The ticker tape craWled through
out, and near the fourth hour small
fractional declines exceeded minor
plus signs. Wall Streets explana-
ton OF ''Whats the matter with the
market?" usually were vague and
unconvincing, with the majority Of
analysts frankly admitting their in
ability to diagnose the case.
Still mystifying was the fact that
stocks nave been hanging around
about where they were d year ago
at this time, while business and in
d;lstry are away ahead of 1888

Seek Merger OF Aid
And Welfare Boards

A plan to save $4,000 a year, or
nearly cents on the county tax rate,
by incorporating the Office of super
visor of county aid with the Mont
gomery County Welfare Board is be-
ing drawn up by Commissioner John
Z. Oxley for presentation to the Board
Of Commissioners Tuesday.
Details of the plan are still tenta-
tive because members of the re-organ-
lied State Department of Welfare
have not yet been appointed to ad-
minister the new law passed at the
last Legislature, but Mr.. Oxley said
he would present the program to the
county board for study while the bud
get for 1939-40 is being prepared.
Mr. Oxley, the county boards rep
resentative on the County Welfare
Board, explained that he had been ad-
vised by Mrs. Dorothy Kurtz, execu-
tive secretary of the welfare board,
that under the new law the State may
match county funds expended for hos
pitalization outside of State institu-
tions, for general public assistance
and for administrative expenses, all
items paid for entirely out of county
funds in the past.
Incorporation Of the Office of super
visor Of county aid with the local well
fare board was one of the planks of
the Democratic platform last fall and
the county delegation put through
bill at the last Legislature authoriz-
ing it when the county board deemed
advisable.

This is possible because of the manner
in which the material is arranged.
The new maps furnish material in

A stern warning was given that Britain will not tie their hands on aerial bombing if Hitler breaks his pledge on the same score.
 Chamberlain was spruce and confident after the first supreme war council on French soil. He almost hissed the words as he told the House of Commons that both France and Britain will fight until they banish the "in- tolerable strain of living under perpetual threat of Nazi aggres- sion."
 Lord Halifax told the House of Lords of Britain's pledges on re- straint of bombing operations and based a similar restraint on Germany. He said the British hold themselves completely free
 
 to take such action as they may deem approprate" if Nazi planes are turned loose without discrim ination on Polish civilians.
