Asks Compliance
With Regulation
Federal Rules Would Pro-
tect All Red Cross Con.
tributors and Chapters.

Mrs. Harvey Reid, chairman of the
Pine County Red Cross chapter, asks
that all organizations and individuals,
planning entertainments and public
izing them as RED Cross benefits -
consult the county chapter first as
to the regulations governing such
fund raising efforts.
Mrs. Reid states that while the
chapter is appreciative of this volun-
teer effort, an act of Congress pro-
tecting the Red Cross name and en-
blem makes necessary certain rules
and regulations regarding benefits,
both as protection to all contribu-
tors as we'll as to the Red Cross
chapters.
Must Approve Benefits.
Briefly, the policy may be sum-
married as follows:
Benefits may not be undertaken in
the name of the Red Cross without
prior approval of the chapter, or the
national organization, if it is nation
wide.
Benefits will not be approved I'M
less gross receipts are contributed to
the Red Cross. -,. .- ,.~..
Benefits may not use the name OF
emblem of the Red Cross where part
or all of the expenses are deducted
from the proceeds.
This does not preclude the accept
ance of contributions by the Red
Cross from benefits which have been
carried on independently of the Red
Cross and which do not use the Red
Cross name and symbol in their pro-
motion.

Australia definitely awaits japanese
hostilities; sentiment here has been
summed up by some of her statesmen
in Canberra and Melbourne who
claim that Australians should not
wait for the attack but should them
selves 60 out hunting up the enemy
before he reaches the shores of the
Australian continent.
Others maintain that unless eff
fective achievements are very
definitely assured, Australia will
not be able to defend herself, far
less to begin an offensive war
against the japanese.
Bombardments of Port Darwin and
troop landings in New Guinea plain
ly enough indicate the trend of Jap
anese ambitions southwark from the
East Indies.
In Burma the japanese have not
had exactly smooth sailing, for the
British have offered a far sitter re-
sistance than Tokyo, evidently, had
anticipated. But in London it is con-
coded that Burma may not in the
end be able to stave off conquest
Such conquest would open
Japan's door to India, and for that
very reason Sir Archibald Wavell
the British general who recently
was transferred from Java to
India, has been carrying on con-
versations with leaders of the
HinduS.
The British want the Hindus to
fight. The Hindus are willing to
fight, but they want their price, stated
ever so many times before, and that
is clear-cut dominion status within
the British empire. A liberal wing
in London wants to grant India's
demands, conservative group is
surprisingly reluctant about it, and
that fact may lead to change in the
British government, for it has been
limited during the last few days that

Stock List Steadier
After Moderate
Early Decline
Final Prices No Worse
Than Mildly Mixed;
Most Rails Up
BY VICTOR EUBANK.
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Bidders
were notably timid in today's stock
market, but there were enough of
them with confidence and cash to
steady the list after an early down.
ward drift.
Some who collected profits on the
rails yesterday reinstated their COM
mitments to a moderate extent and
scattered favorites in other groups
either reduced initial declines or
transformed them into fractional
advances in the final hour Closing
prices were no worse than mildly
mixed, with the majority of the car
riers a shade higher.
Activity was negligible at the start,
although picking up bit at the last,
and transfers for the brief proceed
ings Of around 250,000 shares were
among the lghtest since last Octo-
ber
The failure of any selling volume
to come out in the past two days
retreat inspired a little nibbling
here and there, brokers said, on the
theory important stock holdings
were in good hands and that unex-
pectedly bullish developments might
find many issues unusually scarce.
Many potential buyers, however,
continued to hold aloof because of
the unsatisfactory war news from
the Far Pacific, especially fears the
Singapore stronghold was in grave
danger of succumbing to the jap
anese invaders and that Gen. Mac
Arthur's position in the Philippines
was becoming more critical daily.
Rumors a favorable freight rate
decision might come out late today
or tomorrow stimulated some of the
recovery in the transportation Sec
tion.
Bonds were narrow and commodi-
ties irregularly lower.

Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.-Hesitancy of
buyers permitted continuation Of
the grain markets downward drift
today although selling represented
little more than routine profess
sional and commercial pit transac-
tions.
Wheat and oats were at new lows
for the past month but losses were
only fractional. Corn was of about
u cent at times, and rye and soy
beans almost cent.
Grain brokers took their cue for
market action from weakness of
securities and cotton although
traders said much Of the apathy Of
would-be buyers appeared to be the
result of the Governments program
In disposing Of surplus stocks Of
wheat and corn.
The Commodity Credit Corp.
made no change In its asking prices
for milling wheat. feed wheat and
corn. No. 2 yellow corn was Of
fered at around "a cents for March
shipment. basis Chicago. Milling
wheat was quoted at 16 cents over
the basic loan rate, which would be
about $l3l for No. 2 grades here.
Feed wheat was quoted at 4 cents
under the corn price, delivered any
point, with q minimum of 86 cents
q bushel.
With milling wheat quoted in the
spot market slightly below the Gov
eminent asking price and No. yell
low corn also just under the figure
quoted by the c. c. c., traders said
would-be buyers were unwilling to
take investment positions in the
market as long as there Is threat
of any increased sales of federally-
owned grain on any price rise. Fur
ther declines in feed and meal prices
competing with corn, oats and
c. c. c. wheat were reported yester-
day, and the availability of feed
wheat in the East tended to limit
shipping demand for corn and oats
out Of here.
Traders said the fact that hog
prices this week advanced into So
called price-control ground, or
around or above ITO per cent Of
parity, also had q bearish effect on
corn, although at present price rela-
tionships feeding Of corn to swine
is regarded as profitable. Reports
that the Government may take some
steps to check further hog price rises
attracted much attention in the
corn pit, however.
Lard eased slightly with grains.
