Stock Averages
60-Stock Range Since 1927:
BY VICTOR EUBANK.
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, March 7.-Spe-
cialties took over the rallying play
for the stock market today, while
many of yesterdays speedy leaders
rested.
The direction was moderately up
ward at the start, with dealings
active. Profit taking on Wednes-
days bulge, however, soon stemmed
the advance and slightly mixed
prices predominated thereafter. The
pace slowed after the opening and
transfers approximated 100000
shares.
Despite the obvious desire Of some
traders to cash in on the theory the
market was hardly ready yet for any
sustained push, selling was well abb
sorbed throughout with weakness
rare in virtually all departments.
While Wall street, generally, was
still skeptical of a quick switch in
the recently receding economic trend,
cheer was derived from signs OF a
flattening out of the curve. At the
same time there was hopefulness for
good news from the national political
front and a lift in European war
purchasing.
Talk of Swedish mediation in the
Russian Finnish conflict buoyed q
number of foreign dollar bonds and
domestic corporation loans inn
proved. Strengthening Of major
commodities also served to restrict
stock offerings. European securities
markets steadied.
Again there was an assortment
of new tops for the year among
shares. These included Dow Chemi-
cal, Du Pont, American Telephone.
National Tea, United Drug, Their
mold common and preferred, Bendix
and Eastern Air Lines.
Holding their own most OF the
day were Bethlehem Steel, Chrysler.
New York Central. Loft, Anaconda,
Cerro de Pasco, Montgomery Ward.
Sears-Roebuck, Johns-Manville, AL
| lied Chemical, Douglas Aircraft,
| Sperry and Eastman Kodak
Inclined to lag were Western Un-
! ion, Consolidated Edison, United
States Steel and Westinghouse.

and that the great strategic skill
Of Dictator-Gen. John Metaxas
dominates every phase Of the oper-
atoms. The mind and firm will
and sure touch of Gen. Metaxas are
felt In every sector, while the organ
izing and tactical abilities of the
Greek general staff are clearly in
dicated by the repeated victories
gained over almost impossible ter
rain
We have talked with five different
Greek generals in as many different
sectors along the front. They were
all impressive Officers, highly intelli-
gent, keen, forceful. You get the
immediate feeling that these gen.
erals know every aspect of their job
and are experts at using their forces
with economy but the maximum OF
effectiveness. If italy has any gen.
erals like these Greek army corps
and divisional commanders, there is
no evidence OF any Of them having
reached Albania to date.

1t is impossible to escape the con-
clusion that both the Greek army's

Unless the Italians get outside aid
from their axis partner, or unless
the Greeks fail to receive airplanes
and other war material to q degree
which would be beyond the compre-
hension Of the Greek troops, with
reasonable support in the form of
equipment, the Greek army's diffi-
cult advance into Albania will not
be stopped.
It begins to look as If the winter
weather would be the only thing
which could slow down the Greeks
advance. In any case, this tough
little Greek army is something to
have seen and something long to
remember. Having seen it, we un-
derstand why Benito Mussolini will
never be able to forget 1t.

Says Hitler May Have Eyes on South America

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Senator Key Pittman of Nevada warns the people of the United States against fifth column activities in the Amer icas if Nazi Germany wins the Eur opean war.
 Said the Nevada Senator: T doubt if Hitler, even in alliance with other governments, will attempt to attack the United States directly in the near future. That would not be nec- essary Every action indicates that Hitler longs for the great natural resources of South America. His subjects already hold the reins of great power in that continent"
 Added the Senator: Tn self de- fense and by reason of our admira- tion and friendships for the states of South America, Central America and Mexico, we are compelled to aid them against any conquests either from the outside or against any conquests by fifth columnists work ing from within. This will be a tremendous burden upon the people of the United States"

"BIG TRAIN" JOHNSON

By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, June There's a 50-50 chance that the next Con- gress will have among it's represen- tatives the only man who for 20 years successfully competed with the Washington Monument as a capital drawing card.
 Walter Perry Johnson, the Big Train of baseball and the greatest pitcher the big leagues ever turned out, is the Republican nominee in the sixth Maryland district. Politi- cal wiseacres say he has an even chance of tossing third strike on the Democratic incumbent, Will liam D. Byron.
 Over and over, I've heard the story since his nomination from men who came here as youngsters during the two decades that fol- lowed 1907: When Walter John son was pitching, you couldn' | get a kid to go near the Washing ton Monument or the White House.
 There wasn't boy who came to town in those days who wouldn't rather have had one brief Hi, son from Walter than to have shaken hands with Presi- dents Teddy Roosevelt, Taft, Will son, Harding and Coolidge all at once"
