this, according to one of the lead

a letter with lot of the big folks
name on it and giabve it to htssi.e
Mayor, critical of the USO
Director and the way the USO was
being directed, and they didn't
know such a letter was being
written. And it's no wonder the
Mayor acted like he did about the
whole thing.
With Mrs. Moman, A Helper,
and a Janitor getting a job at the
New Building it looks like, at
least for the moment, that the
DEVIL done brought something
the Lord sent, as my Grandma use
to say, but if them USO People

another one of my Grandma's
rhymes.

Stock Prices Uneven
After Worst Week
Since Late July
BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The stock
market today finished its worst week
since the Mussolini downfall, in the
latter part of July, and, while sell
Ing Slackened further in the final
session, recoverieS were selective and
generally unimpressive.
The market never had a single
average upturn during the five-day
week. Slipping tendencies were
present Monday. After the election
day recess prices dropped sharply
both on Wednesday and THURSDAY
although results of the voting were
interpreted as highly bullish in Wall
Street. The two principal stumbles
were on better than a million shares
each. While volume lessened during
the remainder of the week, trends
still were downward.
Peace Talk Blamed.
Peace psychology received the
principal blame for the relapse. The
successful Moscow conference. per-
slstent Russian victories over the
Nazls in the Ukraine, the Allied ad-
vance in Italy and unceasing bomb
ing of the Reich brought the
thought that Germany could blow
up overnight.
The opinion of Lord Halifax that
anything could happen helped
touch off liquidation, as did The
statement Of former President Hoo
yer that the war might be in it's last
stages. Shareholders, fearing that
the domestic economy would be un-
prepared for sudden ending of the
world conflict in Europe, and that
transitional difficulties would be
serious for many companies, began
to tighten accounts or gat out alto
gether.
Steadier tendencies appeared to-
ward the last as the coal strike was
settled and some consideration was
given to the theory the list had been
oversold and was in a much health
ler condition technically. Good divi-
dends and earnings statements were
helpful factors.
Average Down Further.
The Associated Press 60-stock
average was off OIL of point at 49,2
and on the week showed a net de-
cline of 16 points. Of 673 issues
traded in the short session, 265 were
down against 400 up or unchanged
Dealings were slow except for slZable
blocks of Commonwealth g. South
ern which finished all even. Trans
ferS for the two hours amounted to
337,11O shares compared with $751;
$50 week ago.
American Dlstilling was a spec
tacular lone climber and was up Ga
points on the week at 50. New years
lows were touched by Douglas 49,
craft and Dow Chemical.
A few rail issues moved UP -M
good gains in the bond market, but
over the general corporate list frac-
tional advances and declines were
about in balance at the close.
Seaboard Air Line stamped 4s OF
80 rose 2ls points to Ais and the 0S
Of As closed at 2658, up 5.
