CHICAGO, Aug. Wheat prices
bobbed up and down nervously to-
day within a narrow range, alter
mating above and below previous
closing levels and winding up with
little net change.
The markets hesitancy was blamed
on lack of outside investment and
commercial trade, with the bulk OF
transactions coming from profess
sional dealers. Unwillingness OF -four
and milling trade buyers to make
further commitments, the war Sit
uation and subnormal hedging oper-
ations in connection with the new
crop movement because of high Gov
ernment loan rates and scarcity OF
storage room robbed the market OF
much of its usual activity. Upward
revision of crop estimates in Kansas
and Canada induced only modest
selling.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-An increase
in retail sales during the last week,
compared with the previous week,
was reported today by Dun Il Brad
street, Inc, which credited August
promotions with stimulating busi-
ness.
Volume continued below last years
wave of advance buying. which was
estimated at Is per cent above
comparable 1910 figures.
"An estimated decline OF 5 to 10
per cent this year leaves volume well
above other recent years despite the
conservative buying, increased saw
ings and greatly restricted supplies
of hard goods and credit" the mer-
camille agency reported.
In wholesale quarters sales were
reported better than had been ex-
pected, although conservative pur-
chasing continued to be the rule
Smaller retailers increased budgets
in expectation of more customers as
a result Of travel restrictions, war
time industrial booms or high farm
incomes, the survey showed.
BY regions the weeks dollar vol
ume was spotty. In the Southwest
the range was up per cent to down

Cargo Planes Reported
In Quantity Production

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 7 P.-Gi-
gantic cargo planes, capable OF mass
transport Of troops across the At
lantic out Of reach Of lurking sub
marines, are not vision OF the
future-they are an actuality, In
quantity production.
And even greater ships, with
capacity of 400 soldiers, able to
span the Atlantic in 10 to II hours,
have passed the speculative stage
to the point where the industry
could begin their construction.
Tom M. Girdler, chairman of the
Board of Consolidated Aircraft
Corp, and Maj. Reuben H. Fleet,
the company founder and present
adviser, made these statements last
night as they told the Nation, in
separate radio talks, that the in
dustry is prepared to tackle the
heavy transport problem.
Sky Freighters Being Built.
THE problem calls for big planes
that can carry large loads over
great distances at high speeds" said
Mr.. Girdler in San Diego in broad
cast address. Such planes are
being built. Douglas and Curtiss
are building excellent sky freignters.
We, at Consolidated, are building
such airplanes on production line. -
He mentioned Consair's giant
four motor ships-the 33-ton flying
boat, the Coronado, and the B-24
Liberator. These ships, he declared
have been in armed service for
many months, and in addition to
fighting are carrying cargo to all
parts of the world.
"Consolidated's Coronado
has a hull bigger than Pullman
car" he said. "It can remain at sea
for days. 1t has range of more
than 5000 miles = and we have
over 5000 men developing super
planes for the Army and Navy. Il
shipbuilders can build planes ir
quantity, we will help them do SO.
Could Take Heavy Loads.
Referring to the passenger
craft, Maj. Fleet, in a broadcas
here, said aircraft engineers "hav'
planned this greater airplane to th'
point where our industry coult
begin its production"
LAS 'bombers," he asserted, "the.
could make nonstop trips to Eu
rope and return. As sky freighter
they could take heavy loads o
supplies and arms to overseas troop
and carry goods to our Allies wher
sea traffic Is too hazardous"
Liberator bombers, now in mas
production, could carry $4,000
men overseas in a month
And special Liberator fuselage
, could almost treble that" he con
cluded.

they had to contribute to make the
plan actuarily sound.
Denial of this tax credit, several
witnesses said, would force the COM
panies to pay cash bonuses to their
men and would result in demands
for increased wages to make up the
amount of prospective proflt-shar-
ing or pension returns that would be
lost. Both results would be infia-
tionary, these business leaders said.
Under the terms of the House
bill, only an amount equal to per
cent of the total pay roll could be
placed in a pension fund and sub
tracted from immediate taxable In
come. However, credits could be
taken over the next five years for
any additional amount paid IN.
Exceptions Planned.
Senator Brown said the subcom-
mittee had decided to retain the 5
per cent limitation, but to provide
for exceptions where it could be
proved that an additional amount
must be paid in to keep the pension
plan actuarily sound.
The committee was challenged
earlier by w. j. Schieffelin, jr., rep
resenting the Chamber Of Commerce
] of New York State, to write stun
ming new revenue bill Incorporating
a retail sales tax even If it had to
wait until after the November elec-
ton to do it.
Recommending a graduated levy
ranging from 2 to 5 per cent on the
sales of all articles, Mr.. Schieffelin
told the committee:
IF election miasma makes such a
bill impossible within the next few
weeks, please stand up and tell the
country SO and tell them that in
November you will pass the stunning
bill demanded by the times to whip
the enemy and to keep our money
good"

program submitted by Secretary OF

Troops Land Behind Red Lines.
Speeding their drive for oil in the
Caucasus, the Germans were re-
ported landing troop-laden air
transports and dropping fresh
swarms of parachutists behind
Soviet lines in a costly expenditure
of men and machines.
In the first officially reported big
scale attempt to put air-borne
troops down in the rear Of Soviet
positions on the Caucasus battle
front, the Russians said nine of ten
big Junkers transports which landed
in one sector were set afire or
smashed and the soldiers accounted
for to the last man.
War-front dispatches said the
Nazis were showering more para
chutists behind Soviet lines after
landing groups of between 100 and
$50 along with small tanks earlier
in the week. The latest invaders
were declared exterminated or
SWl1tly rounded up.
Edge Closer to StaHngrad.
The increasing Nazi use of aerial
troops was disclosed as tank-paced
enemy spearheads drove deeper into
the North Caucasus below Rostov
and tried to edge closer to Stalingfad
from the southwest.
The Soviet noon communique said
fighting continued without letup
through the night in the four main
theaters OF action.
In one clash in the Kletskaya sec
tor of the Stalingrad front it re-
ported the Germans were forced to
retreat after losing % tanks and
Soviet forces were credited with
killing 300 Germans and knocking
out nine tanks in another battle.
Red Army units were forced back
in several sectors of the Belaya
Glina front yesterday by German
thrust paralleling the Rostov- Baku
Railway.
Nazis Gain Near Kotelnikovski.
North of Belaya China the threat
to Stalingrad was increased by new
German gains in the Kotelnikovski
area. There German tanks tore
holes in Soviet lines, forcing the
defenders to withdraw in several
sectors.
Red Star. in a dispatch from
Kotelnikovski, said the Germans had
taken the railway in that sector
and now were seeking to develop a
broader offensive.
Kotelnikovski is located on the
railway running southwest from
Stalingrad to Tikhoretsk, where II
connects with the Rostov- -Baku line
Belaya Glina also is on the railway
between Kotelnikovski and Tikhor-
etsk, so the line already had been
cut by the Germans.
Further Advance Checked.
Fresh waves of Nazi tanks were
hurled against the Russians during
the day in the Kotelnikovski sectol
but the Moscow announcement sale
: the enemy failed to make further
= headway there.
