Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, Jan 30-The stock
market worked in rallying territory
today. getting back fractions to
around points of last weeks sharp
losses.
Utilities slipped shortly after mid
day when the Supreme Court hand
ed down the long-aWaited T. " A.
ruling in favor of the Government.
These Stocks quickly got back on
their feet, however. and the ma
jority finished with modest ad-
vances. The decision, it was said,
had been pretty we'll discounted.
Steels led the industrial section
on the upturn as the American Iron
& Steel Institute estimated the
weeks mill operations up l6 points
at 528 per cent of capacity. This
was little better than had been
looked for.
Brokers attributed the comeback
in the share list partly to the belief
the market had been oversold and to
the obvious lessening of Wall Street
tension over foreign affairs.
The proceedings were exceptional
ly slow, especially in the forenoon,
as many traders inclined to keep on
neutral ground pending Hitlers
speech before the Reichstag. The
Grafton started shortly after 2 pm.
Generally it failed to disturb prices
to any great extent Financial
quarters also seemed pleased with
the moderation shown in Prime Min
lister Chamberlains Saturday adj
dress and the thought was expressed
by some that much of the recent
war talk may have been overdone.
With the ticker tape inclined to
crawl throughout. transfers approx
imated 100000 shares.
Conspicuous on the advance were
U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, General
Motors, Chrysler, U. S. Rubber, An
aconda, Sears -Roebuck. Santa Fe,
N. Y. Central, Westinghouse. Doug
las, Aircraft, Sperry, Du Pont, and
American Telephone.

ASK GOVERNOR NOT TO SEND
MAN BACK TO ALABAMA
COURT

New York.-The foul lynching re-
cord of the state of Alabama, and the
impairment of public confidence in its
courts, because of the notorious in
justice of the Scottsboro case, were
urged upon Pennsylvania Governor
Arthur II. James, as ample reason to
refuse to permit extradition of Hartie
Lee Waters.
Albania seeks to have Waters
brought back to its jurisdiction in
order to prosecute him on a charge OF
striking white man. The protest to
the governor of Pennsylvania was
sent by the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People

Walter White. The telegram said in
part:
THE notorious Scottsboro cases are
tynical of attitude of courts of Ala.
bama toward Negroes.
