Most Stocks Retreat,
But Few Manage
To Edge Higher
Declines of Fractions
To 81 or More Seen;
A. T. & T. Weak
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, May 19-Stocks
generally were in a retreating mood
today although scattered favorites
managed to contest the move with
modest advances.
Attempts to keep the list on the
recovery track were moderately sue
cessful at the start. Weakness then
broke out in American Telephone
and initial plus marks were erased
in many instances elsewhere. While
declines in the final hour ran to
2 points or so for a handful Of
stumblers, the majority of recess
sions held to small fractions.
Dealings picked up somewhat
after midday and slowed again
toward the close. Transfers, how
ever, mounted to approximately
$4,000 shares for the full pro-
ceedings.
There was little change in the
bullish war news and brokers
thought some tightening of COM
mitments here and there was caused
by growing doubts regarding cor
porate profits under the widening
Of the tax program and govern
mental controls.
Prominent stocks on the losing
side most of the day included Du
Pont, United States Rubber prefer
red, United States Steel Bethlehem,
Chrysler, General Motors. Anaconda,
Kennecott. j. G. Penney. American
Can and Dow Chemical.
In the resistant sector with ad-
vances running to nearly two points
at one time were Eastern Air Lines.
American Airlines. Pan-American
Airways, Standard Oil New Jersey
New York Central. United States
Rubber common, American Smelt-
ing, Eastman Kodak and Union Car
bide. Market Street Railway was a
lone strong spot at a new 1912 top.
Bond Market Eases.
The bond market drifted irregu-
larly lower as selling increased in
some groups and a general hesi-
fancy to bid for favorities kept
others within a narrow range near
the final hour.

Trade Restrictions
Doomed After War,
Taylor Declares
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May l9-Under-
secretary Of Commerce Wayne C.
Taylor said yesterday that in the
peace following the war any re-
strictive concepts Of finance or
trade which stand in the Way of
full development of production. en-
ployment and maximum national
income will be brushed aside"
The future development of nat
ural resources or functions such as
transportation and communications
will be permitted, however, only
when the Federal Government is
certain that "the public interest is
protected at all times" he told a
world trade luncheon gathering at
the Hotel Astor.
Domination by master race, a
master nation or a master class
within a nation is untenable," Mr..
Taylor declared. That is what this
war is about. That is what We are
fighting against. We are fighting
for the good-neighbor policy-a sys-
tenn of international organization
and understanding under which
agreements on foreign trade will not
be reached merely because one ma
ton is strong and one nation is
weak"
Modern transportation and COM
munications have removed "the last
barriers TO rapid exchange of indi-
vidual and collective ideas" he
said.
Curt G. Pheiffer, chairman of the
Capt. Robert Dollar Memorial Award
Selection Committee, announced
that Undersecretary of State Sum-
ner Welles had been chosen for the
1912 award for his outstanding con-
tribution toward the promotion of
foreign trade, particularly in the
South American field"

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Price Administrator Leon Hen
derson announced yesterday that
willful evasion of the cocoa price
ceiling by certain importers and
dealers would be prosecuted vigor-
ously" if not Immediately aban-
boned.
The practice which drew Hender-
sons ire was the refusal by some
cocoa sellers to offer cocoa beans in
lots of more than Is bags, in order
to take advantage of the 71a per
cent premium over the regular CELL
ing allowed on small lot sales.

the price order to accommodate the
small cocoa grinders, who ordinarily
put in minor quantities and for
whom the dealer must split up

THIS IS IMPORTANT

UP-TO-DATE bean cookery suggests
that to cook navy, lima, pink and red.
kidney or cranberry beans, you pick
over beans carefully, removing any
damaged beans or foreign particles.
Wash we'll in sieve or bowl. DO not
soak. Improved agricultural methods
have made it possible to produce more
tender beans with tender skins. Soak.
ing will cut cooking time about one
third, but makes beans mushy and un-
attractive. Place in kettle at least :
times greater in volume than beans.
Add hot water to cover and tsp. salt
for each cup beans and cover. Cook at
simmering temperature until beans are
tender, e to hours. Add more water
as needed to keep beans we'll covered
during cooking.
'Limas should be soaked in water to
cover 6 to 8 hours or over night as they
cling to their tough outer skin.

Tunisia Air Battles
 Turn In Allies Favor
Grand Assault on Axis By United Forces and British
 Eighth Army Contemplated Shortly

in North Africa, it can be revealed today, is to chase the German Afrika KorpS all the way into Tuni- sia, and then hit the Axis forces with all the combined might of Eisenhower's troops and General Sir Bernard L, Montgomery's army which is chasing the Germans across Tropilitania,
 Air battles over Tunisia have taken @ sudden turn in favor of the Allies, and supplies are being rush. ed to the front lines today in prep aration for the eventual attack, There were reports that Eisen- hover and Montgomery had met to work out plans for the co-ordinated attack, but there was no ofhcial con- iirmation of that here.
 The situation in Tunisia at this moment is that the Allies are hold ing the Germans in check at a series of strong points while reinforce mentS and supplies are being brought up. Everything possible is being done to assure the success of the offensive once it is launched,
 The first push toward TuniS and Bizerte was a daring Allied gamble, an attempt to win the cities before the Axis could bring up reinforce, mentS. It fell short of its goal, and the Allies dropped back to defensive positions. This time the Allies will profit from the experience gained in the last thrust.
 Meanwhile, there has been little important land action in the last 10 days. The Allies are engroSsed with the problem of moving men and material to the front lines, French trains with the little ears carrying 70 men or eight horses" famous sivne world war dayS-are chugging eastward with supplies. Long motor conveys are crossing the mountains under protection of low flying American planes.
 The battle line is extremely fluid.
 American army planes have drop ped 1000, 900 pounds of bombs on Axis targets within seven-day per iod and British beautifor night fighters have almost driven Axis night bombers from the skies.
