The tremendous increase in retail

Stock Market Drifts
To Lower Levels
On War Reports
Steels Lead Retreat
With Most Losses
In Fractions
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, April 12.-Leading
stocks shifted to a lower ledge in
today'S market as a little more ap-
prehension over the battle in the
Balkans apparently discouraged
buyers,
SteelS led the back-slide and
number of new 194l lows were
touched on the move, While losses
for the most part were in fractions,
point or so was Topped off scat
tered issues. Numerous pivotals
were unchanged.
Dealings picked up at intervals
and transfers for the two hours were
around 100000 shares.
Many boardroom customers
stretched out Fridays holiday to
lengthy week end and several COM
mission houses were virtually de-
serteo. Those who put in an ap-
pearance, however, inclined to
shorten accounts pending outcome
OF the crisis in the Near East.
Mild cheer was derived from the
settlement of the Ford strike, but
most realized the labor picture still
was far from clear. The threatened
Walk-out at General Motors was
a cast in point.
Persistence of the wage dispute in
the soft coal industry was a bit de-
pressing for steel stocks inasmuch
as it was feared a fuel shortage
might eventually cut production of
finished products substantially.
New York Central was a resistant
stock most of the time as the road
revealed net income for two months
ended February % was equal to So
cents a common share versus 8 cents
In the like 1910 period.
Oils occasionally contested the
trend. Helpful here were widespread
increases in gasoline quotations and
the best prices for crude in some
areas for the past 212 years.
Lagging tendencies prevailed in
the bond department. Commodities
were irregularly higher.

Beirut, capital of Lebanon un-

reported today to have been
evacuated by defending Vichy
troops and occupied by Austral-
ians, who fought their way up
the coast from Palestine.
Meanwhile, the likelihood of an
immediate armistice in the month
old Syrian conflict appeared to
diminish with statements from both
British and French that the fight
ing is continuing.
French sources in Ankara, Tur-
key, were authority for the report
that Vichy troops had evacuated
Beirut and Withdrawn to the north
under orders from Gen. Henri Dentz.
French high commissioner in
Syria.
Occupation Reported.
In London Reuters, British news
agency, reported that it heard the
German-cOntrolled Paris radio an
nouncing that Australian troops oc-
cupied Beirut this morning.
Meanwhile. Gen Maxine Wey-
gand, Frances commander in North
Africa, arrived in Vichy by plane
as French leaders discussed the
next move in the Syrian crisis.
The French high command in
Syria declared, according to a dis
patch from Vichy. that Britain
thus far has ignored its request
for an armistice and ''combats are
therefore continuing with their ac-
compartment of violence and dew
astation :"
The communique added that "the
responsibility for it does not rest
with France"
Continue Resistance
Despite the request Tor an armis-
tice two days ago-which the
French previously said the British
had answered by laying down
terms-the Beirut headquarters is
sued its regular military communi-
| que, which said:
Our troops in all sectors con-
tinue their resistance to the thrust
of the opposing forces.
'On the coast the British have
| continued their efforts north of
Damour. Advanced armored ele-
ments have come up against our
anti-tank defenses but the bulk of
the forces have not yet been able
to make contact with our new posi-
tionS."
French Reported Fleeing.
The Ankara radio was heard in
Bern, Switzerland. to report that II
French vessels. including a 10000
ton tanker, had arrived at the Turk
ish port OF Alexandretta from Beirut.
Earlier the Turkish radio was
heard announcing that French war
ships fleeing from Syria would be
interned if they entered Turkish
ports.
The commander of this fiotilla was
quoted as saying that other naval
officers were en- route.
The radio said panic had begun in

The bill to provide for systematic

objected to its passage on the unani-

Seeks Siberian or
Portuguese Bases
Reports in japanese
Press Are Branded
German Propaganda
By GARNETT ID. HORNER.

Acting Secretary of State Welles
today branded reports that the
United States might seek naval
bases on the Siberian coast as
obvious German propaganda for the
purpose of making trouble between
this country and Japan.
He also declared that there were
no negotiations in progress with
Portugal for additional bases in the
Atlantic.
Mr.. Welles' comment came at a
press conference when he was asked
concerning reports published in
japanese newspapers that American
strategic plans in the Pacific might
call for obtaining a northern route
by establishing military base on
the Kamchatka peninsula of ST.
IBERIA.
Policy Unchanged.
Remarking that he had no infor-
nation en- this beyond what he had
seen in the newspapers, Mr.. Welles
recalled that a report was published
in Budapest yesterday that the
United States might now seek naval
bases on the Siberian coast. This
report, he described as obvious Ger
man propaganda.
Other rumorS in the Japanese
press of an impending alliance be-
tween the United States, Russia,
Great Britain and China against
Japan were described by Mr.. Welles
as the same rumors which have
arisen for years. He emphasized
that there has been no change in
United States policy.
The reports that this country
might seek bases in Siberia have
arisen since Germany attacked
Russia, whose Siberian territory
might be threatened if Japan joined
the Axis in active hostilities.
Denies Friction in Agencies.
Mr.. Welles also took occasion to
deny reports of friction between the
State Department and other Gov
eminent agencies over the question
of export quotas for other Ameri-
can republics.
He said the State Department.
Office of Production Management.
Export Control Administration and
other interested Government agen-
cies are working on quotas to sup
ply essential needs of the other
Americas. including production
quotas for priorities as well as ex-
port quotas.

Oumonsky Discusses All
Aspects of American
Assistance to Soviet
Earlier Story on Page AID
By JOHN c. HENRY.

Constantine Oumansky, Soviet
brought good news" about his ma
tons resistance of German agrees
sion to President Roosevelt today
and discussed all aspects of Ameri-
can assistance to Russia. 1t was
the Ambassador first conference
with Mr.. Roosevelt in two years.
Conferring with Mr. Roosevelt
and Undersecretary of State WelleS
for slightly more than an hour at
the White House, the Soviet envoy
told reporters later that he had
been deeply impressed by the
friendly and far-sighted approach
of the President TO Russia S war
problems.
Expresses Russia's Appreciation.
Il expressed to the President" he
said, the appreciation of my gov
ernment for the attitude taken by
him and by the Government of the
United States toward our fight
against Hitler aggression. OF course,
we discussed all problems deriving
from this situation and l was deeply
impressed by the friendly and far
sighted approach of the President to
this problem
Asked about specific requests of
his government for aid. Mr.. Ouman-
sky said that Washington knows
the particular orders we want to
place and has known those for some
time"
He refused to say whether out
right military materials are in
cluded in this list, or to comment
on whether his government is pre-
pared to pay for all supplies or is
seeking help under the lease-lend
program.
Trade Is Not Interrupted.
Under questioning about whether
any materials actually have been
delivered, the Ambassador said trade
had not been interrupted between
Russia and the United States. He
would not say, however. whether war
supplies were included in this trad
ing.
1t was when he was asked what
word he had about progress about
the war that Mr.. Oumansky smiled
and replied: Good news" He then
added that he had transmitted this
information to the President.
Pressed for more detail on his
information about the fighting, the
envoy refused on grounds that he
is not a military expert, but when
asked if he thought it would be a
long war, he answered:
1T is a stiff fight"
Mr.. Welles was to return to the
White House later in the afternoon
to see the President again.
