BY VICTOR EUBANK.
Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, March 23.-The Gus
toners were bit more confident in
today's stock market and an assort-
ment of leaders attracted mild bid
ding at the start.
Gains were mostly in minor frac-
tions with the exception of a hand
full of favorites that got up / to 2
points. Top marks were shaved in
many instances at the close,
although plus signs predominated.
While offerings dwindled ap-
preciably throughout the session, de-
mand also was light. Transfers were
around 100000 shares.
There was nothing particularly
bullish or bearish in the war news
and brokers credited the better per-
formance partly to the belief the
lengthy retreat had been overcome.
A lot of good earnings statements
were helpful
The move of the House Ways and
Means Committee to draw up con-
crete proposals for a Federal sales
tax was viewed as constructive mar
ketwise. An estimated jump in this
weeks steel mill operations to a
new high for ingot output brought
only faint response from stocks in
this category.
Many potential buyers continued
to stand aside pending more light
on possible labor legislation.
Shares on the up side the greater
part of the day included United
States Steel. Youngstown Sheet,
Santa Fe, General Motors, Chrys-
Ter, Montgomery Ward, Sears Roe
buck, Allied Chemical, Western
Union. Postal Telegraph preferred,
Allied Chemical, American CONNER
cial Alcohol, U. S. Gypsum, Ameri-
can Can and Phelps Dodge.
Inclined to lag were Standard Oil
New Jersey, Great Northern. Cen
eral Electric and North American.
Rail Bonds Improve
Interest focused on the rails in
the bond market with many of the
carriers showing plus signs of frac-
tions, while utilities were irregular
as the session neared the final hour.

Treasury to Revive
Certificate Issues
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau
announced today that he expected
to offer next month two issues of
certificates on indebtedness-a type
of securities not sold by the Treasury
since 1884. The first offering will be

The Treasury chief said the certi-
ficateS would meet a demand for

than discount securities such as
Treasury bills. Discount securities
are sold at less than par and re-
deemed at face value, whereas the
certificates will be sold at face value
and bear interest
Morgenthau did not announce
what interest rate the certificates
will carry. They are limited by law
to one year maturity. will be re-
deemed in cash, and will carry no
exchange privileges.

WASHINGTON LAMP when
the navy department press relations
representatives., Ii. Allen. could
give no satisfactory answers con-
corning the WAVES, the AKA Par
tisan lobby through its representa-
tive. Thomasina Walker johnson,
Immediately addressed a letter 10
the President. calling upon him 10
end the farce OF organizing at tax
payers expense a battalion OF wom-
en- to train as officers for this group
excluding Negro women.
Mrs. Johnson, in the name OF the
AKA, called 1t. Allen and discussed
the matter OF using Negro women In
this branch OF the navy.
She was informed that the prob
ability OF using Negro women had
been discussed. and that a study
was being made on the subject. 1t
Allen indicated no Negroes were as
sisting In making this study and
further said he had no idea how
long the study would take before
completion, when its recommends
tons would be known.
He referred Mrs. Johnson 10 DR.
Will w. Alexander. who is in
charge of minority group problems
in tho War Manpower commission
and In no way connected with the
navy department.
The letter to the president says
in part:
1T Is a travesty on American
democracy when we are compelled
to ask that you use your Office Ia
see that Negro women are equally
trained and eQuitably participate
in the WAVES along with all other
American women. The fact that we
are entirely out of this vital phase
OF the war program Is detrimental
to the morale Of all Negroes. We
cannot win this war unless we have
the wholehearted support OF all
