BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 21.-The stock
market, in a slow climb since early
in July, today speeded its upturn
and closed with many leading issues
at gains of from 81 to So a share.
Rails and steels were especially fa-
vored by buyers in q last-minute
bidding race. New high marks for
1941 were recorded by number of
favorites.
The new demand for stocks was
attributed by Wall Street brokers in
part to favorable profit margins dis
closed by the general run of June
quarter earnings statements and
rising confidence in Russia's ability
to hold of the Nazis.
United States Steel closed at
$59.62, up s187; Bethlehem, $7775,
up $3.50; Chrysler, $57, up SIPS;
Southern Railway, $3.50, up $1.12:
Santa Fe, $31, up $3.50; United
States Rubber, $25.62, up $1.37.
Cotton scared up as much as SITS
bale. but commodities generally
were mixed: Bonds were higher,

Bogus Berlin Reported Built
By Nuzis to MisIeud R. A. F.

to camoufage landmarks in the
capital say bodies of water such as
the Lietenzee, a small artificial lake
near the radio station, have been
covered with planking to prevent
the r. A. F. from using the gleam
of water in starlight or moonlight

Many roads in Germany were
said to have been painted black
to prevent the f. A. F. from lining
up targets and it was reported that
the Kaiserdamm, main thorough
fare in Berlin, has been entirely
covered with green cloth hung above
the road for hundreds of yards.
Although security reasons pre-
vent giving details, it is known that
the British also have used camou-
flage extensively. Any railroad
traveller is able to see factories dis

Henderson Hits
| Bread Price Hike
IOf More Than 1c.

Although cost of flour and operat-
ing expenses of bakers have in
creased in many localities recently,
Federal Price Administrator Leon
Henderson asserted today that in no
case does price raise of more than
l cent loaf on bread appear to be
warranted.
In a letter to $50 leading bakers,
Mr.. Henderson suggested that, since
average ingredient costs have risen
only about u cent a loaf, frac-
tional increases would be more in
line than a full additional cent.
He urged the bakers to reduce
operating expenses rather than raise
the price of bread. This might be
accomplished, he proposed, through
using less expensive wrappers, cut
ting promotional costs and decreas-
ing the percentage of stale bread re-

Shows Police Where
He Hid Clothing

primarily to Policeman Daniel Slat-
terry of the Twelfth Precinct. Mr..
Slattery first encountered the youth
last week while patrolling his beat.

stranger in the neighborhood and
stopped him for questioning. He
took down his name and his place

scription of the man wanted for the
criminal assault on Saturday was
broadcast, Mr.. Slattery realized that
it fitted the youth he had questioned.

the suspect worked. Mr.. Beach,
wearing plain clothes, spotted the
suspect-who was dressed in new
clothes.
He arrested him and the confess

LEGISLATORS Indorse
And Oppose President
On Draft Extension
Van Nuys Says U. S.
Should Live Up to
Its Promise to Soldiers
Earlier Story on Page ALL

BY the Associated Press.
A supporter of President Roose-
velt's request for extended service
for selectees. guardsmen and reserv-
lists declared today that the Army
must not be disintegrated by releas-
ing those troops while an opponent
said q government which fails to
keep its promises was not worth
fighting for.
Representative Cox. Democrat of
Georgia, declared in the House that
public opinion demanded all-out
aid, the lease-lend bill and the
draft ITO disintegrate. it." he
added, would be to play fast and
loose with the Army"
On the other hand. Senator Van
Nuys, Democrat of Indiana, took
the view that the Government had
promised the emergency soldiers
that they would serve only a year.
The President says it would be
bad faith not to extend the service
period" Senator Van Nuys COM

would be bad faith with the trainees,
their parents and their wives if we
fail to release them. They were
specifically promised they would
serve only year.
What are these boys going to

keep its promises. A Government
like that isn't worth fighting for"
Senator Connally. Democrat, Of

House Votes Measure
Advancing Pay Of
Federal Workers
Would Make 10000
Eligible for Automatic
Wage Increases
Ry JAMES E. CHM.

The House today completed legis-
lative action on a bill amending the
classification act making approxi-
matsly 1901 Government employees
eligible for automatic within grade
salary increases in the current fiscal
year.
A concurrent resolution was
Adopted by the House, however, to
correct typographical error in the
measure which requires Senate ap-
proval before the bill can go to the
White House for the signature of
President Roosevelt.
One Step Every Is Months.
The bill in its original form
passed the House June II and the
Senate July IA and came back to
the House for approval of several
minor Senate amendments. The
House gave its immediate approval
to the Senate changes when the bill
was called up by Chairman Rams
peck of the Civil Service Committee.
In brief, the bill provides a salary
advancement of one step within the
grade each l8 months to employees
In grades where the salary increases
are $50 to $100. and in each 80
months to employees in grades where
salary implements are 5000 to $500.
In order to receive any advance
ment the employe must have an
efficiency rating of good" or better
and in order to receive an advance
ment above the midpoint grade his
efficiency rating must be very good
or excellent"
Nine-Year Period.
Under the plan for regular Pc
riodic increases employees within
grades with minimum salaries less
than $1,000 year would be eligible
for advancement to the top of their
grades during period of nine years.
Eligible employees in the higher SAL
ary groups would wait a period of
10 years before attaining the max
imum salary of their grades.
1t is estimated that the salary
advancement plan with an ultimate
coverage of at least $4,000 employees
would after 10 years of operation re-
suit in an increase in the annual
pay roll of approximately $30000.-
600. The pay roll increase for each
year. however. if averaged over a
period of years, it was said, would
represent about $1,000 1000 a year, or
less than one-half of 1 per cent Of
the annual pay roll of 5000 900 900
paid to employees covered by the
plan.
