Stock Market Near
Nine-Year Lows
AT Session S End
Late Weakness OF Few
industrial Shores
Blunts Recovery
By VICTOR EUBANK.
Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, April l6.--Weak-
ness in a few industrial shares
blunted an early recovery move in
today's stock market and left the
list floundering around nine-year
lows in the late proceedings.
Efforts to establish a resistance
level were supported at the outset
by mild rising tendencies in steelS
and motors, Other groups were a
little responsive for time, but their
progress was limited by buying
apathy Dealings were sluggish at
around 250,000 shares,
While losses were we'll distributed
at the close. actual weakness was
confined to a mere handful of key
issues. OF these Westinghouse and
J. I, Case exercised the major in
fluence, each dropping to a new low
for year or longer.
Market followers could find little
in the news to stir them to a more
active interest. Among the repres-
sive things were the question of the
degree of French collaboration with
the Nazis under the Vichy govern
ment changes and the imponder-
ableS of the tax situation.
Backward stocks included Ameri-
can Telephone. Montgomery Ward.
Eastman Kodak, Santa Fe, Western
Union and Air Reduction. Chrysler
slipped after edging up a point or
so. Favored at times were Great
Northern, Patino Mines and Sears
Roebuck.
Bonds Unevenly Higher.
Moderate demand for a group of
rails kept the bond market pointed
irregularly higher.
Going into the final hour a ma
jority of active carrier loans we're
lettering on the plus side of the
market while changes in other
groups were small and the trend
mixed.

NEW YORK, April 16.-Trustees
of the Associated Gas 81 Electric
Corp. announced today they had
reached initial agreements for sale
of the Kentucky Tennessee Light &
Power Co. for a base price of ST.
600 900.
The property, which has annual
gross revenues of around $2,500, 900.
is a subsidiary of the Associated
Electric Co., an intermediate hold
ing company in the Associated sys-
tenn, and is the largest Eastern prop
erty in the group.
The transaction is a complicated
one, involving sale of Associated's
control to the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority, which in turn will sell to
five Kentucky cities various parts
of the set-up, retaining some of the
generating facilities.
The Rural Electrical Administra-
ton also is involved. along with an
other utility company, in the deal.
The municipalities of Murray
Mayf1eld, Hopkinsvills, Russellville
and Bowling Green, in Southwestern
Kentucky, will purchase the elec-
trical facilities in their communi-
ties, it was explained. for a base
price of $3,535 900.

Complete ALLEGATION
OF Machine Tools
Forecast Soon
American Muchinist
Reports Stamp Plon
Likely TO Be Used
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch 70 The Star
NEW YORK. April l6-Complete
ALLEGATION of machine tools appears
close at hand, reports American
Machinist today. 1t is likely to be
applied by means of a stamp plan,
which will take the place Of the
present, priorities systems. the mag
azine states. A stamp will be issued
by the War Production Board for
each machine tool ordered after
date as yet unSpecitied. The stamps
probably will bear priority numbers
and will replace the master prefer
ence list which now determines the
priority rating of machine tool
orders.
The stamps representing ma
chines) will be divided among three
major groups: Ql The armed Serv-
ice, (2l lend-lease, and (3) domestic
strategic operations having an in
direct contribution to the war effort
tair compreSSors, synthetic rubber,
etc. Obviously the bulk of the
available machines will go to the
armed services. Each branch will
know in advance for certain period
approximately the number of ma
chimes it will get and then can allot
them among its contractors as il
sees fit.
Distribution Indicated
The reported distribution to the
services mot confirmed officially is
roughly, one-third to Army Air Corps
and Naval Bureau of Aeronautics,
one-third to Army Ordnance, one
sixth to the Navy and one sixth to
the Maritime Commission. The de-
tails of how the stamp plan will
operate are now being worked out
Pool orders will not supplant the
placing of individual orders by the
contractor, American Machinist
points out. Each contractor, as in
the past, will seek what machine
tools he needs to fill his war brders,
IN cooperation with the branch of
the service with which he is doing
business. He can continue to specify
not only the type and size of ma
chine he wishes, but also the make
So far as possible, the services will
see that he gets the make of machine
desired. However, if his securing the
preferred machine means holding up
the start of production and another
make can be obtained much sooner
the service branch will send him a
stamp indicating the make of ma
chine which he will receive. He
Will nave to take this machine and
like it.
Pool Orders to Remain.
There is no intention of doing
away with pool orders. They will
serve. substantially the same pur-
pose as in the past-to provide q
backlog where machine tool COM
panies are running short of work
for their starting departments
Several reasons are given by high
Washington officials for the decision
(about to be arrived at) to 60 over
to an ALLEGATION system. One is the
desirability of leveling of somewhat
the peak of untitled orders possessed
Dy some machine tool builders and
raising correspondingly the backlogs
OF companies less favored by war
contractors. Since there is enough
business to keep all companies
operating at top speed all of this
year, this action should increase the
all-over production of the entire
machine tool industry for the wal
effort.

Barrel Staging

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 16.-After be-
ing kicked around for years be-
cause American manufacturers and
consumers like to see everything
packed in fancy containers. the
humble wooden barrel, like old
dobbin, is on the comeback trail.
Every other sort of packaging
material has been affected one way
or another by war restrictions ex-
cept the wooden barrel. 1t was
brought out at a session of the
packaging division of the American
Management Association.
There is plenty of plant capacity
avilable TO produce all kinds of
barrels. Leonard r. Steidel, man
ager of a Little Rock (Ark.) firm,
said, adding that the unskilled labor
required in their manufacture
would not conflict with war plant
demands.
