NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Stocks
suffered their sharpest relapse for
more than two months in today's
market as renewed apprehension
over European affairs touched of
selling in virtually all departments.
While few issues managed to
emerge with modest gains, losses of
to 4 points were widely distributed
among leaders. Extreme setbacks
were reduced, though, in some cases
near the finish
The Associated Press average Of
so stocks was off a full point at 500,
the largest drop for any single ses-
sion since November 18. On the
week the composite showed a net
decline of 0.4 Of point. It was the
third consecutive weekly downturn
of this barometer.
Trading was moderately active at
the start, but offerings piled up in
the final half hour and. for a brief
interval. the ticker tape fell be-
hind floor dealings. Transfers for
the two hours amounted to est $50
shares against 469,63O last Satur-
day. The turnover for six days was
about 100000 shares under last
weeks volume.
Spectators Stand Aside.
Latest Hitler moves, with the
ousting of DR.. Schacht as head of
the German Reichsbank. brought
fears in Wall Street of a foreign ex-
plosion that might disrupt world
markets. Pending further light on
the Nazi program, speculative con-
tingents seemingly decided to get
out from under so far as stocks were
concerned.
Prominent on the slide were U. S.
Steel. Bethlehem. Chrysler. General
Motors, U. S. Rubber, Montgomery
Ward, Douglas Aircraft, Westing-
house, Allied Chemical, Du Pont,
Kennecott. American Telephone,
Consolidated Edison, Santa Fe and
Texas Corp.

the management in the accounting
suit dismissed yesterday.
B. & o. Stock Declines.
Filing of a court plea for a re-
ceivership for the Baltimore e. Ohio
by an individual bondholder helped
dent this stock 3. of a point at 6l5
Sliding fractions to more than a
point lower in the curb were Electric
Bond & Share, Lockheed, Gulf Oil,
American Gas & Electric and Bell
Aircraft. Turnover of 143 900 shares
compared with $4,000 a week ago.
The broadcast of Elliott Roosevelt
and the speech of Undersecretary of
the Treasury Hanes, forecasting a
get-together move between the ad-
ministration and business and sug-
gestlng that the New Deal had about
completed its reforms and was ready
to get behind industrial recovery
while cheering, failed to influence
markets to any great extent.
The stock list, on the whole, shifted
erratlcally throughout the week.
Utilities were among the best per-
formers as electricity consumption
expanded and the belief gained
ground that Congress would refuse
to appropriate any more funds for
the construction of public power
plants to compete with private con-
Germs.
There were couple of technical
rebounds on Tuesday and Friday
without dealings ever reaching L.

NEW LAW AFFECTS
 PNEUMONIA SERUM
Communities Must Pay for Future Distribution;
 Voted Legislature

According to a bill passed by the 1889 General Assembly, effective July l, 1889, towns, cities and bor- oughs will be required to reimburse the State Department of Health for the cost of antipneumococcic serum obtained by health officers for the use of people of the state upon whom the purchase thereof would impose financial hardship, 1t was an- nounced in the departments cur- rent monthly bulletin. Since local government officials must approve bills for payment submitted by health officers, formulation of local plans was urged so that serum may be obtained promptly and the de- partment reimbursed
 The State Department of Health is authorized to furnish such biolog- ical products only to town, city and borough health officers so any health officer placing an order for anti pneumococci serum with the depart ment assumes the obligation to meet payment. It was pointed out that the new law does not affect other biological products which will be distributed in the same manner as in the past. Local health officers who maintain emergency supplies of antipneumococcic serum may make such arrangements as they deem satisfactory for supplying serum to health officers of nearby towns.

RUSSIA HAS SENT
 BRITAIN REPLY

Moscow, July 3-(UP)-Soviet Russia was understood today to have transmitted to Great Britain her reply to the latest British-French proposal for adherence of Moscow to the European security front, appar- ently without completing a final agreement.

 The British and French negotia- tors returned later to the British embassy. They refused comment and did not indicate whether prog ress toward an agreement had been made.

 foe as Guardian

North Bay. Ont, July 3.-(UP)- The legal offensive of Oliva Dionne against Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, the physician who delivered his quin- tuplet daughters, gained volume to- day with a suit charging that Dafoe had profited personally from the quints through private contracts with 43 corporations.

After listing 43 corporations which he said had contracts with Dafoe in addition to their contracts with the quints' board of guardians Dafoe was alleged to have received substantial sums of money from other sources which are presently unknown to Dionne."
 It was Dionne's second suit against the man credited with having kept the five famous babies alive during the difficult first months of their lives.
