BLIND MUSICIANS
! HERE NEXT MONTH
John Duffy and Antonio
MartOne to Offer Concert
at WOmen's Club

John Joseph Duffy, blind COM
poser-pianist and Antonio j. Mar
tone, blind violinist and tenor, will
appear in their annual recital at
the Women's Club Monday evening
February 20, at 8:15, EDST. in
program of varied musical selec-
tons.
Duffy is always interested in
works by contemporary American
composers. Last year he and Mar
tone introduced two modern songs
at their Waterbury recital, one by
an American and another by an
English composer. At this forthcom-
coming recital, these two artists
plan to introduce two seldom heard
songs by American composers
Tributes" by Howard Fisher and
The Sleep That Fits on Baby's
Eyes" by John Alden Carpenter.
1t is interesting to note that
both artists, being without sight,
memorize all music from the Braille
system. Musical Braille" is nothing
at all like the staff notation used
by those with sight. The blind have
to memorjze all their music, since
Braille Is a system of dots, and they
have to be read by the fingers.
Consequently all music must be
memorized. Duffy has a great deal
of his music transcribed into Braille
for both him and Martone, from
the stagg-notatiOn.
The program February 20 will

as well as q group of pieces by

works and two groups Of songs, plus

Light Selling Halls
SeIective Recovery
On Stock Market
Some Fuvorites Retuin
Coins, but Declines
Are Plentiful
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Light SELL
ing stemmed an early recovery drive
in today's stock market.
Leading rails, steels, oils and spe-
cialties got of to a good start and
extended Mondays advance by frac-
TORS to point or SO. Trends wa
vered after midday and. while mild
improvement was retained by many
favorites, declines were plentiful at
the close
Dealings, moderately active in the
forenoon when the direction was
upward, slackened appreciably later
and transfers for the full session
approximated 600,0 900 shares.
1t was a two-way thoroughfare
as news influences on the malket
were concerned.
Speculative and investment SEN
timent was proposed by the success
full American-Dutch blasts at Jap
anese warships in the Southwestern
Pacific, as well as persistent Russian
claims of defeats to the NaziS.
On the other hand, bulletins from
Singapore telling of additional
ground gained by the enemy in the
invasion thrust at this citadel, COM
bined with fears of a heavy attack
on Australia, created enough bear
ishness to inspire the tightening Of
commitments here and there.
Some Rail Bonds Gain.
A fair volume of buying orders
kept a selected group of railroad
issues pointed higher in the bond
market, but the general run of cor
porates idled in narrow range,
with modest gains and losses about
evenly divided as the final hour ap-
preached.
In the higher group were Chicago,

Private Truck Operators
Reassured by Eastman
By the Associated Press.

Joseph B. Eastman, defense
transportation director. assured pri-
vate firms operating motor truck
fleets today that he had no plans
to bring them under Government
regulation.
Eastman, addressing the National
Council of Private Truck Owners,
Inc, here, said that private indus
trial and commercial firms operated
perhaps rs per cent of the trucks
in this country and were directly
and vitally concerned with the war
effort"
Some of you, I am told. are ap-
prehensive that an attempt may be
made to bring private carriers in
some way within the fold of public
regulation, like the for-hire carriers
under the Motor Carrier Act.
MY responsibility is to see to 1t
that transportation functions eff
ciently and effectively. I see
no present reason why should con-
Germ myself with this problem of
regulation, and if I should later by
any chance be of a different mind,
you may be sure that I shall let
you know and solicit your views be-
fore arriving at any conclusions.

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-All grain fu-
lures except oats shot up smartly
at the opening today on the passage
of the price-fiXing bill by the House,
but profit taking sales and opera
tions of hedging character in corn
soon reversed the trend and extreme
gains were reduced by half or more.
Wheat and rye advanced around
a cent to the best levels in five
years. The downturn was influenced
in part by weakness of rye and
soybeans and by the fact that pres
ent price levels offered at least a
moderate profit in the redemption
of loan wheat.
Wheat closed "a to q cents under
yesterdays final levels. with the ex-
treme losses in the deferred deliv-
cries, May 1925, July 1343s; corn

Capital Transit Net
In 1941 Equal 10
S5.43 a Share
Totul Contrasts With
$3.50 q Share for
Previous Yeur
By EDWARD C. STONE.

Net earnings of the Capita
Transit Co. in 194l were equal tt
$5.43 per share, compared with $3.6'
a share in the year 1910, according
to the report just filed with th'
Public Utilities Commission.
The financial statement showed
net income, of s1,303,477.09, an in
crease during the year of $438, ,692 As
or 50.7 per cent, the best record since
the consolidation of the Capital:
streetcar and bus services late tr
1888.
Indicative of the way in which
Transit earnings have advanced, il
is interesting to note that earnings
in 1926 amounted to only 20 cents
share, to 81 cents a share in 1887
rose to SLOT in 1898, to S245 in 1895
and to the above mentioned $3.50 a
share in 1910.
Operating revenues of $lf 1908 in
1941 were up 229 per ce. Operat-
ing expenses were up 205 per cent
taxes jumped 46.7 per cent and de-
probation 1875 per cent. The gain
Of 42,351,115 in revenue passengers
was 227 per cent better than a year
ago.
The fine report received much
favorable comment in the financial
district today. However, hopes for
higher dividends are held in check
because of the very large sums which
the company is forced to pay out
for new equipment. The company
paid 81 a share last year, with a
25-cent extra.
