The other five on the jury to judge young Andy were not actually named. The will simply specified that they would be the five who on the day of his death had longest served the store. "These five and Carol Fairfield, whom trust very much" Tears came to Carols eyes as she remembered the words. It was if as if MT. Dearborn himself stood at her side and laid 0 kindly hand upon her shoulder.
 She had gone to plead with him. "Name someone else, MT. Dearborn. I'm not capable of helping make Q decision like that"
 He smiled across his desk at her. You're perhaps the most capable of them all, Carol. For you, more than anyone else, see the store through my eyes. I would feel safe with you alone to decide. I expect your influence to be felt. Natural ly" he hesitated and she noticed a dampness in his eyes, T hope with all my heart that Andy will carry on, Run the business as have built 1t. Where the customer is al- ways right and the employe always happy. If he doesn't"-he looked away-"Dearborn's shan't exist, I must make sure of that. Promise mo you'll stand by the spirit of the will, Carol, between the people and my son."
 She said, In a small voice, q will" She couldn't say, T love your son, Mfr Dearborn. Hopelessly, yes. But love just the same. Don't leave me to pass judgment on him"
 She couldn't say anything to change his mind. The more she tried to say the flrmer he became. You'll do this one last thing for me, Carol. You'll do 1t we'll" He spoke the words he had written in the will. T trust you very much
 Oh, dear heaven, what could she do Now2 How could she keep her mind impartial when her heart was biased?
 Quickly she ran over the list oi the five who were with her in it.. Bes8ie in notions, Methilde in dresses. John in the stock room, Mir, Majors in the merchandising offiue, Miss Fanny in hosiery. They had been longest in the store. A strangely assorted group to pass on

NEW YORK. Sept. 23.-Enough
specialized rallying fuel was pumped
into stocks today to keep the market
rolling on four wheels.
AiIcraftS, a few Steels and motors
achieved a degree of popularity
after the opening and, at the best,
gains ranged from fractions to a
point or so. Top quotations were
later reduced and many laggards
were in evidence at the close.
Brief but relatively fast bidding
furries in the morning expanded
the turnover. There was a subse-
quent letdown in activity, but trans
fers for the full proceedings were
around 100000 shares.
While speculative contingents
seemed to have grown more i'm
pervious to war shocks, they worked
up little optimism on fresh Rus
sian claims of stronger resistance to
the Nazi invasion.
Mild inflationary inspiration also
was derived from more talk of con-
gressional opposition to parts OF the
proposed Federal control bill which
would put a ceiling on farm prod
uCts and wages Business develop
ments were fairly hopeful. Board
rooms refused to get excited over
word that another United States
owned ship had been sunk in the
Atlantic.
Stocks in the favored division
most of the day included Douglas
Aircraft, Boeing, Consolidated Air
craft, Lockheed. Glenn Martin, Gen
eral Motors, Chrysler. U. S. Steel,
Crucible, Santa Fe, Great Northern,

Exceptions Filed TO Plan
For Florida East Coast
BY the Associated Press.

4
Exceptions to an official plan of
reorganization for the Florida East
Coast Railway were filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission
by the sponsors of two differing
plans.
The commission will hear argu-
ments October "a on the exceptions.
The reorganization plans were
filed by the Deposit Committee for
Refunding Bonds and by the trus-
tees of the estate Of Alfred I. Du
Pont.
With a few notifications, Com
mission Examiner Ralph H. Jewell
proposed that the reorganization be
carried out in line with the Deposit
Committees plan.
The main differences between the
deposit and Du Pont plans is that
under the deposit proposal new cap
ital of about s4,000,OOO would be
obtained by the sale of additional
first mortgage bonds, while under
the Du Pont plan this capital would
be provided in cash by the Du Pont
estate for 100000 shares voting
control of the common stock of the
reorganized company.
Jewell proposed a three member
reorganization committee composed
of an appointee Of the Deposit COM
mittee and of the institutional group
of bondholders, with a third to be
appointed by the court.
In its brief today the Dupont
estate proposed a f1ve-member COM
mittee, with the estate appointing
two members. The brief referred
to the Deposit Committee plan as
the bankers plan.

Further Tightening
0fCredit Terms
Is Anticipated
Commerce Department
Reports Present Curb
Will Be Inadequate
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Commerce Department ad-
vised consumers today to expect
further stiffening of consumer
credit terms"
A department publication said
that the present restrictions of in
stallment credit issued a few weeks
ago by the Federal Reserve Board
"are not yet designed to curtail
consumer credit extensively" but
said that more restrictive rules were
expected "as it becomes necessary to
divert a larger amount of the coun-
try's resources to defense purposes. "
AT such time" the article said,
"a heavy reduction of installment
buying will serve as a useful ad-
junct to fiscal policy directed at
limiting the rise in consumption"
The article estimated that in
stallment credit outstanding at the
middle OF this year was $4,000, 900 900
and guessed that three -fourths of
this amount would be eliminated in
a year should installment credit be
cut off altogether.
