Andrews Says 0PA Ba|ks
AT Florida Vacation Gas
B. the Associa ted Press.

B! the Associated Press.
Senator Andrews, Democrat, of
Florida, said yesterday that the
Office of Price Administration had
refused special allowances of gas
oline to northerners to permit them
to spend the winter in Florida.
Joel Dean, director of the OPA
fuel rationing division, conceded in
letter to Senator Andrews that
the plan of moving the northern
residents to Florida as a fuel saw
ing measure was "attractive," but
declared that "such allotments
would accentuate the difficulties Of
transporting gasoline to the areas
on the routes to Florida.
Although gasoline rationing was
originally instituted on the eastern
seaboard because of a shortage of
transportation facilities, Nation
wide rationing is a rubber saving
eXpedient. Obviously, special
Florida dispensation would increase
rubber consumption and might sub
ject us to very logical criticism.
Since coal is scarcer than usual,
it would be difficult to turn down
the requests of users of coal If users
of fuel oil we're given a special
Florida gasoline ration. Nor would
it be possible to designate Florida
as the sole haven of winter -harassed
citizens"

Stocks Are Hesitant
After Best Recovery
Since Mid-JuIy
Moderate IrreguIority
Luid to Realizing
At Weeks Close
By VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The stock
market today finished its best re-
covery week since mid-July on
slightly hesitant note due mainly to
some cashing in on the recent up
swing and the tightening of accounts
for the Sunday recess.
While bids were plentiful for
selected issues at the start, real
strength was absent in most cate
gories. On the other hand, little
actual weakness cropped up and
small variations either way ruled at
the close. Dealings slowed at in
tervals, but the turnover of around
225 900 shares was the largest for
any Saturday since early March.
Bullish contingents still had the
benefit of the stalled Nazi drive at
Stalingrad, further United Nations
blasts at the japanese in the South
Pacific and persistent inflationary
psychology Notwithstanding chances
of a compromise between Congress
and the administration on the
wage-price dispute.
Most rails we're a trihe in arrears
the greater part of the proceedings
as some selling here was attributed
to the pay boost demands of oper-
ating unions which would add about
S420, 100000 annually to railway
costs. A batch of highly cheering
eight-months' revenue statements,
however, served as an offsetting fac
tor.
Receiving moderate support at
intervals were Yellow Truck, Good
year, Goodrich, U. S. Rubber,
Montgomery Ward, Sears Roebuck,
International Harvester, Standard
Oil IN, j., Douglas Aircraft, North
American and Union Carbide.
Inclined to waver were Santa Fe,
N. Y. Central, Erie certificates,
Southern Pacific, Northern Pacific,
Southern Railway, Texas Co., Gen.
eral Motors, Chrysler, Bethlehem.
Anaconda, Kennecott, Westing-
house, United Aircraft, Eastman
Kodak, Allied Chemical and Wool
worth.
Bonds were mixed, with carriers
mostly off moderately.

More British Women
Take Up War Work

British women are crowding into
war work in greater numbers than
ever. it is reported in London. More
than $4,000 every week are being
placed in the services, civil defense
and war work More than 5,000,-
900 have been registered, and
100000 more have applied for
work. The wars first effect was to
increase the number of unemployed
women.
In October, 1899, the number
totally unemployed increased by
174,e81. BY May Of the following
year the total number unemployed
had fallen to the lowest in 20 years.
London has 1000 women bus con-
ductors. The railways employ 50,-
00O. The post office women num-
ber 100000. The women's land
army has recruited 24,000 women
and girls. Some are leveling ground
on air fields, mixing cement, shovel
ing coke or loading pig iron.

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-Grain prices
steadied today, the market holding
to narrow rut, with trade almost
at a standstill at times as dealers
awaited price-control developments
in Washington.
Since pending legislation will
vitally affect grain prices, traders
said there was no use taking a def
mite position on either side of the
market until details of the law are
fixed. A vote in the Senate early
next week may settle the matter,
they said.
Prices of all grains fluctuated only
fractionally around yesterdays
close, but soybeans were quoted up
more than a cent bushel, October
contracts above. S163, rejecting
weather conditions over the belt.
Although grains are not expected
to be directly limited at this time
by price ceilings at parity levels,
since all cereals are we'll below
u Sdlu 1ON6IlllIl6llb
loan provisions of the legislation are
of immediate Importance. Many
traders fear also that if the legisla-
ton and regulations adopted under
it are not carefully written, private
trade may be SO restricted that
eventually complete Government
control of the Nations marketing
machinery will be necessary.
Some traders were inclined to &C
cept profits since wheat prices are
now nearer Government loan rates
than at any time this season. De-
cember wheat, at above $128, was
less than 4 cents below loan rates
while 1943 contracts were over that
level. A car of No. 3 soft red wheat
yesterday sold at $139A, a five-year
peak and about cents over the
Chicago loan rate, although this
type is scarce and thus is bringing
an abnormal premium in the spot
market.
At II am. wheat was unchanged
to = higher, compared with yes
terday's finish, December, S1.281a

up, December, 86as; May, 905s.

Changes Put Rowe
In Supervision Post
Bidd!e Order Issued
To Assure More Direct
And Effective Control

ITO provide more effective con-
troll from the top" over the formula
ton and execution of departmental
policies, Attorney General Biddle
yesterday ordered a reorganization
of the Justice Department, with a
reassignment and redehnition of the
duties and functions of many of It's
divisions and bureaus. Depart
mental machinery, he said, has for
some time needed "a thorough over
hauling"
The administrative order an
nounced yesterday is the result OF
several months of conferences be-
tween Mr.. Biddle and the principal
officers of the department. Repre-
sentatives of the administrative
MANAGEMENT section of the Budget
Bureau served as consultants during
these conferences.
Big Jump in Personnel.
The problem which this order
hopes to solve is this" Attorney
General Biddle explained: Three
years ago the personnel of the de-
partment was approximately 5000.
Because of the impact of the war
and the necessary defensive meas
ures for internal security which the
Government took before the war,
the department has expanded to
20 900 persons. This increase is al
most wholly caused by vital war
programs. An almost impossible
burden has been thrown on the
normal peacetime administrative
machinery"
One of the principal realignments
provided by the order gives 33-year-
old James H. Rowe, jr., former ad-
ministrative assistant to the Presl-
dent, direct supervision over the
agencies that serve the various divi-
sions and bureaus in the depart
ment, with the exception of the Of
flee of Information. Under the Or
der, Mr.. Rowe, who holds the office
of assistant to the Attorney Gen.
eral, also will aid Mr.. Biddle in the
overall supervision and management
of the department and assist him
in the formulation and execution of
departmental policies and programs.
The order makes three other i'm
portant changes. First, it CEN
tralizes all matters dealing with
legislation and opinions in the office
of the assistant solicitor general.
General legislative policy, however,
will be cleared through Mr.. Rowe
to Attorney General Biddle.

ton of the Antitrust and Criminal

ton Board and civil litigation in

Positions for Gains
OF SO and 40 Miles
One Communications
Center Reached, Siege
Of Another Is Begun
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHUNGKING, Sept. 26.-Engi-
neering a smashing tWo-column
sweep which by-passed strongly
fortified japanese positions for
gains of so and 40 miles, Chinese
troops in Chekiang Province
have driven to the gates of Chuki
and laid siege to Chenghsien,
communications centers below
Hangchow, front-line dispatches
said today.
Chuki is a rail town 40 miles south
of Hangchow and Chenghsien is a
highway junction 60 miles southeast
of that most important enemy
occupied port.
Both columns were said to have
started from Chungkiang, 100 miles
south of Hangchow. One, striking
almost due north, by-passed the
Japanese-occupied rail center of
Tungyang to reach the suburbs of
Chuki. The other dashed north
eastward to the outskirts of Chengh-
sien, one of the most important
highway points in Northern Cheki-
ang.
The japanese continued their
shaky holds on KinhWa, provincial
capital, and bomb -Tokle" air base
and nearby Lanchi, but the Chinese
said the garrisons were busy ship
ping loot from the two cities, possibly
in preparation in abandoning them.
The British radio, quoting a
Chungking dispatch, said in broad
cast heard in New York by CHS
that a tank-supported column of
1000 japanese had been sent reeling
into retreat after a northward ad-
vance in Anhwei Province.
