NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Prices
broke out of a holiday rut in today's
stock market and in the briskest
business in more than a month small
but general gains we're scored
The improved close came after a
day in which many share leaders
had bobbed about quietly and only a
handful of defense specialties" had
managed to attract a buying follow
ing.
Some of the latter, many at tops
for year or more, included Bath

Locomotice and Electric Boat.
Up fractions to point or so were
U. S. Steel, U. S. Rubber, United
Aircraft, Boeing, Johns Manville. U.
S. Gypsum, Santa F,e. Consolidated
Edison and Texas Corp.
Not all gains held at the best to
the finish and there was a good
sprinkling of minus signs through
the list. Transfers were about l.

The November foreign trade fig
ures, published today, showed a
drop in exports that extended even
to shipments of planes. But more
fundamental appeared the remark
of the Department of Commerce
accompanying the figures:
although it is to be expected
under present war conditions, fea-
ture of the export trade in Novem-
Der as in October was the low pro-
portion that Agricultural products
comprised of the total.

Bank Call Expected
To Reveal Deposit
Record Here
CopitoI Total Likely
To Top S400, 900, 900
For First Time
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

Washington bankers believe the
next condition call issued by the
controller of the currency will bring
out the fact that aggregate de-
posits of the citys % active banks
have crossed the $400,000,000 total
for the first time on record.
This was indicated in an unofficial
survey made in the banking dis
trict today. Deposits in the Capt.
tai have heeen lowering around the
00,000,000 mark recently and are
new believed to be above that point.
On the date Of the controllers
last Gallo June 80, deposits in the
banks here totaled 1884, ,676,5O5 33.
That was an all-time high mark
up to that time and was a gain of
more than $60000.O00 during the
previous IL months.
Several banks report substantial
advances in total deposits since the
middle of the year, these state
ments giving rise to the prediction
of another new peak in the near
future. The call sometimes issued
in late September or early october
was omitted this year, so that the
June figures are the latest avail
able.
In the past it has been customary
for the controller to issue a call on
December 81, the last day of the
calendar year. The law requires
three calls a year. So far there
have been two, one in March and
the other in June. Whenever the
next call comes. it will ask for the
condition of all banks in the Dis
trict of Columbia and all national
banks in the United States.

- AsEBALL and the moves are not
the only industries that have

woods and canebrakes in search of
promising material. There's another
field whose leaders don't care about
batting averages or glamor. but who
wall long and loudly about the short
age of high-class talent.
The industry is known vaguely as
the Field of Research" and it's hard
to label it with a more definite name.
Its only business is to find out things
that men never knew before. That
might include almost anything. and it
actually does - from investigating the
contents of fish livers to tearing apart
atoms with ten-ton guns.
The business of research is carried
on in LOO plants, operates on an
annual budget of $3.50, ,OOO.O 600 and
eives steady work to some fifty thou
sand people What is more important,
its dividends average 500 for every
dollar invested. No wonder the execu-
tives of research are constantly on the
lookout for more and more skilled
workers!
OF course, these executives aren't
looking for just ordinary workers.
They are securing the labor market for
people who possess not only ideas but
the initiative and ability to translate
these ideas into action.
The research men and women now

good grounds for believing that when
our crushing unemployment problem
is finally solved, more new industries
created by intent researchers will have
had an extremely important hand in
the solution.
Despite the huge fortunes they
build for humanity, and sometimes tor
individuals, few research men die
wealthy. These workers aredivided be-
tween government Offices, university
laboratories and industrial plants, and
few of them can hope to make more
than $500 year. A handful of top
Fighters earn $4,000 to $4,000. or
even more, but these salaries are rare
exceptions. Most research sleuths must
take part of their pay in the thrills of
discovery and invention, and in the
satisfaction of teaching their hard
won knowledge to new generation OF
brilliant young hopefuls.
Where viii They Come From?
II IS this next generation that is caus-
ing the wise men of research the most
worry today. Where will researchers
come from? With knowledge becoming
constantly more specialized, few young
people can hope to make dent in the
field without a Ph.D. degree. In an
average year. only about 2.7OO Ph.D.'s
come rolling off academic assembly
lines, and by no means all of these
have the types of minds and training
that fit them to do original research
work. A crop of 900 research people is
a good years harvest, yet l,6OO to
1900 are needed annually Even of
the 800, not more than 100 ever rise
to positions of real distinction.
That's natural. Genius is not too
widely distributed among human be-

how to develop it fast enough. So keen
