NEW YORK, Sept 26.-Scattered
stocks grasped at recovery straws
with mild success in today's market,
but many leaders exhibited notable
lack of rallying power.
Selling dried UP at the start and,
for a while, plus signs were well
distributed A few weak spots then
appeared and gains were erased in
numerous cases. Trends stiffened
for few aircrafts, rails and special
ties III the final hour and the close
was moderately mixed.
Dealings were sluggish through
out with transfers for the full pro-
ceedings around 100000 shares
against 1,170,0O0 shares in yester-
days slump.
Wall Street generally felt that the
Treasury demand for 6 per cent
ceiling on corporate profits would be
cold d-shouldered in Congress anc
some who unloaded Thursday in
clined to reinstate part of their com
mitments. On the other hand. The
thought would not down that take!
and other measures would be useC
to shave war earnings to relatively
slim proportions and that owners o.
shares might be the ultimate suf.
ferers insofar as dividends Wert
concerned.
The Russian German conflic
again provided little or 10 specula
tive inspiration, brokers said, anc
there was hardly enough change IL
the business picture to prime bullisf
forces.
Among stocks Dow Chemical hit {
new low for the year with a drop o
8 points or so at the worst. Right

Iron and Steel Scrap
Ceiling Boosted 10
GET Supplies
Henderson Describes
Price Changes as
Experimental
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Leon Henderson, price admins
traitor, increased the ceiling on iron
and steel scrap in certain areas
today in an effort to obtain larger
supplies for steel mills.
The program is an experimental
one, Henderson said, and is designed
to get remote scraps" to consuming
centers before winter conditions
make collection difficult.
The revised schedule permits a
shipping point price of Sl2 ton
for No. heavy melting scrap in
Florida and in all States west of
Mississippi excepting California,
Oregon and Washington. Present
prices vary with shipping points and
range from $3.50 to s12 a ton
A separate provision defines as
remote scrap" all grades of scrap
other than railroad scrap, having a
shipping point and point of origin
with Florida, Oklahoma, Texas
Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Wyo-
ming, Idaho and Montana. 1t stipu-
lates that the maximum price for
any remote scrap" delivered to the
plant of a consumer may be IS q
ton above the top delivered price
which he has been permitted to pay
/ heretofore.
Other Far Western States were
omitted from that provision. officials
said, because of proximity to stee.
mills and foundries.

Heavier Taxes Regarded
As Initiation Safeguard
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, Sept.
26.-Frank E. Seidman, tax econ
omist, declared last night that
heavier taxes. not price fixing, are
the answer to imitation threats.
In an address Seidman called the
tax program just enacted only the
first World War tax system over
again with the dust brushed off"
If we limit taxation today to the
methods used in the first World
War" he said, I'VE shall be making
as great a mistake as it would be to
send Gen. Pershing'S 1918 army,
equipped as it was then, into the
field against Hitler's 1941 mechan-
lied divisions.
The battle against imitation is
the battle of America This is a
battle we cannot afford to lose, for,
if We get an explosive price spiral,
there is sure to be a long, long drop
at the end of ii and when we hit
bottom it is certain to wreck our
whole economy.
Imitation is no longer the mirage
that has been talked about for the
past eight years. 1t is here. The
shoe has begun to pinch-not ser
iously yet, but it is steadily tighten
ing"

Fulcher Smith Urges
Uniform Season for
Hunting Squirrels
Twenty-Day Open Season in
Garrett County Began
Last Friday

A uniform fifteen-day squirrel
hunting season in September for the
three Western Maryland counties Of
Garrett, Allegany and Washington
was urged by Fulcher P. Smith, State
Game and Inland Fish Commissioner.
Different hunting season dates in
adjoining counties lead to much con-
fusion" Smith declared in comment
ing on the opening of the twenty
day squirrel season in Garrett coun-
ty.
The squirrel season in Garrett
county is October 10 to October 30.
In Allegany and Washington counties
the season is from November l to
November 30, and in Frederick the
season runs from September Is to
October Is. Mr.. Smith was of the
opinion that there was a reasonable
demand for an early squirrel season in
the western counties, and he said that
happy solution would be to have
one uniform season of perhaps fifteen
days during September in Garrett,
Allegany and Washington counties.
Hunters were urged to give their
suggestions. Smith explained the diff
ferent seasons were the result of each
individual county seeking special
legislation for itself, and until this
year the commission had no author
ity to determine the dates.
The commission now has the discre-
tionary power, however, over setting
season dates after conducting public
hearings on proposed changes.
Over 1900 Licenses
Over 300 county resident hunting
licenses have been issued this year
thus far, over / 200 at the court house
in Oakland, and over a hundred at
Grantsville. This is the first year
that hunting licenses have been sold
anywhere except the court house but
the State Game and Inland Fish Com
mission established the office at
Grantsville for the convenience of
persons not wishing to make the trip
to Oakland especially for the license,
Mrs. Daniel W. Hershberger was au-
thorized to issue them there. Only a
few statewide and nonresident per-
mits have been issued
The open season in this county for
woodcock, male English ringnecl,
Mongolian or Melanistic Mutant
pheasant, ruffed grouse, rabbit, and
quail will be November l to 30. There
is a closed season on wild turkey,
bear, and doves in Garrett county.
There will be six-day deer season
in December, beginning Monday,
