Senate Democratic Leader Alben

House Democratic Leader Sam

peace should win the commenda-
ton of all patriotic Americans"
Sen. Pat Harrison, D., Miss. /:

NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-The general
level of leading corporate bonds
slipped slightly today in desultory
pre-holiday trading.
Losses ran mainly to minor frac-
tionS toward noon with many issues
ignored.
Some utilities and rails displayed
a fair degree Of steadiness, but the
volume of transactions in such cases
was too limited TO permit develop
ment of marked trend.
Included on the doWnside were
International Telephone 412s and 5s,
Union Oil of California IS, Standard
Oil of New Jersey 234S S, Nickel Plate
AVS and Illinois Central 4As.
Among the steadier issues were
American & Foreign Power 5s, Santa
Fe Is of 95, International Paper 5s,
International Hydro Electric IS and
Southern Railway As.
United States Governments were
irregular. with gains and losses of
minor fractions about in balance.
Dollar loans of the Dominican Re-
public and Denmark made fair gains,
but otherwise the foreign list was
weak.
