REVOCATION OF
 ORDER SOUGHT

London, Oct. 15.-(UP)-Twenty- four prominent Irishmen and Ul- stermen lave petitioned Prime Min ister Winston Churchill to revoke North Ir,land's decision to incor- pcrate the Home Guard into the Royal Ulster Constabulary, it was learned today.
 It was friendly gesture toward Fire, because Irish nationalsts charge that the Constabulary with "Gestapo- like" oppressive activities. The petition was signed by such celebritiss as Gen. Sir Hubert Cough, who became Listers hero in 1914 when ke refused to lead British troops against Ulstermen who threatened to revolt over Irish home rtile proposals.
 The petition said that North Ire- land had been permitted to arm a force lo guard against invasion out side the jurisdiction of the British war office, that tits enrolment had been largely governed by consider ations of religion and politics 1t thus incurred tho odium attaching to a political police force" It said that because of the dangerous Eire- Ulster border situation, clashes may result from the activities of this large force directed by local civilian or police ofiicials."

WELFARE ROLLS
 SHOW GOOD DROP
Increased Industrial Active ity Cuts Them; Dept.
 Surplus Anticipated

Increased industrial activity, with consequent employment gains, con- tinue to bring decreases in the num- Der of city relief cases and WPA certifications, Welfare Superintend- ent Martin F. Hayden said today. He belives that the city welfare list is steadily approaching rock-bot- tom figure which will remain fairly constant.
 The welfare rolls have steadily de- clined in recent months, Supt. Hay den said, as factories and business houses have kept adding employees. Many of those now receiving city aid are 50 aged, infirm or otherwise dis qualified that they canont seek pri- vate employment and the city faces the duty of caring for them indefi- nitely.
 Many of those certified by the well fare department for WPA jobs have been able to secure employment in factories, Supt. Hayden stated. A large number of those still on WPA have applied for factory jobs but have been unable to secure them for lack of training or other reasons. In addition, some of those on the relief rolls are not physically able for in- dustrial employment.
 The reduction in welfare cases. plus changes in organizational pro- cedure, have allowed the welfare de- partment to effect large savings this year. In contrast to the deficits of previous years, the department this year is remaining so well within its budget that it will be able to report a large surplus at the end of the year.
 Supt. Hayden believes that if the present industrial boom continues, the city welfare rolls will be limited largely to aged and unemployables. These will always form an irreducible minimum. .

BY ELME RC. WALZER limited Press Financial Editor

New York, Oct. 15.-(UP)-Stocks backed down fractions to more than a point in quiet dealing today but final losses were cut down by mild rally that developed in the closing hour.
 The list opened irregularly lower, ran into moderate selling that hit steel, motor, rubber and chemical shares hardest around mid-session, and then started slow recovery.
 Trading continued dull.
 Commodities were mixed. Grains closed little changed. Cotton firrned. Silk declined.
 Bonds eased off.
 The uncertain action of the stock market largely was attributed to foreign developments. Traders, it was said, were confused by the rapid shifting of the Balkan and Far Eastern scene and many frightened positions pending clarification of those developments. Good business news was partly offset by indications that increas- ing expenses, largely ref1ecting ris- ing taxes, already has begun to eat heavily into corporate income. American Telephone Company re- ported today third quarter net in- come equal to $2.37 a share, against $40 in the 1889 period.
 Motor shares received little aid from a report that the war depart ment soon will let orders for an additional 78,000 trucks.
 Just before closing time, Bethle- hem jumped more than 2 points from its early low to above its pre- vious close and U. S. Steel replaced a loss of a point with small gain Chrysler ran up to a net gain of around a point.
 Early losses in chemicals, ranging to 2 points and more in Union Car bide and Hercules Powder, were scaled.
 American Telephone held around its previous close. Most late demand appeared centered in steel shares.

(Continued from Page D the position of the Italians wireless ed to Italy.
 "The experience at the sinking of the Italian cruiser Bartolomeo Col leoni July 19," said the admiralty, When our rescuing destroyers were bombed by Italian aircraft made it impossible for our ships to take any further measures for the safety of the survivors of the Italian destroy CT.
 The Ajax is 6,985 ton cruiser, carrying eight 6-inch and eight f. inch guns. It carries two aircraft which are catapulted into the air.
 The cruiser went into service in March, 1884.
 Loss Admitted
 (The Italian admiralty admitted the loss of 1,400-ton destroyer and two 6O0-ton torpedo boats in an engagement of Sicily Saturday. It claimed that a British cruiser of the neptune class-the Ajax is a member of this class-had been sunk, another heavy cruiser badly damaged by bomb and an aircraft carrier hit by bomb. An Italian communique today claimed that the damaged British cruiser had been followed by an Italian plane which scored a hit with an aerial tropedo). :.
 The admiralty said that the two destroyers sunk by the Ajax were of the 679-ton Airone class. The engagement occurred 80 miles south- east of Sicily about 2:30 a. m. on Oct. 12, the admiralty said. After the second encounter of the Ajax and the Italian cruiser and de- stroyer fiotilla the remainder of the Italian force escaped in the dark ness" according to the admiralty.
