NEW YORK, July 23-The bond
market lowered in narrow and
mixed range today with only an
occasional speciality moving out
of the fractional range.
A small group of rails, benefiting
by special news developments, were
at the head of the slim advancing
forces.
The two Allegheny S per cent
Issues of '49 and so were fairly
active and higher in early dealings
after announcement steps were
being taken to modify terms of the
indentures and release funds to
purchase the SIS of 1914 in the open
market. The latter sold off under
profit-taking after the recent rise.
Others improving moderately in
cluded Boston & Maine 5s, Balti-
more & Ohio 412s, Continental Oil
234s and Manati Sugar As.
Holding about unchanged to lower
were Armour As, Commonwealth
Edison 31as, Great Northern As,
International Telephone 5S, New
York Central SIS, Standard Oil Of
New Jersey ga and Southern Rail-
way As.
Foreign dollar bonds followed the
general trend with the exception OF
Buenos Aires 4l2s, which were
higher by point.
United States Governments were
quiet and about unchanged.
Some profit taking cut down top
gains in the final hour. Allegheny
stamped SIS ended Il up at 4312 and
the SIS of 1949 lost all of the fore
noon advantage and ended 7s lower
at "a. A sale of two Japanese 612s
at 811z represented loss of 4
points from the last sale. Other

Aldace Anteo Mengarini, chess
champion of the District Of Co.
lumbia and current titlist of Capt.
tai City Chess Club, will celebrate
his 21st birthday anniversary.
1t is unusual for youth of 20
summers to capture the champion

CITY organization. But still more
amazing is the performance against
all District aces that catapulteo
Mengarini into the coveted District
master ranks. Fortune smiled upon
the touseled- haired STRIPPING and
strangely gave him her mysterious
blessing in preference to another
local star of the observation-disclosures

Born October 10, 1919, at Rome,

country. He attended the Liceo
Scientihco "Cavour' at Rome for
three years, then spent two years
at New Yorks Fieldston High. At
18 he was one of the four who won
a Harvard Club scholarship of $500
over 300 contestants and was a
freshman at Harvard in 1878
serving as captain of the university S

Siggy Solem, the District Leagues
smallest pinspiller, today was veri-

it over the bowling behemoths of the

an average of 1929 for II games.
The Penn Recreation spearhead
who last season was a vital cog in
the flag-winning Rosslyn combina-
ton which established a national
record average of 629, also boasts
tie with Bill Krauss for high game
of 166 and is a pin shy of Cletus
Pannells season record set of 426.
