red light Of speculative and invest
ment doubts.
Individual situations accounted for
strength of assorted issues. Some
bidding was attributed to the good
war news from the Pacific, but an
offset here was discerned in the
cloudy German Russian battle bull
letins. Developments on the WASH
ington economic front kept nu-
merous customers in neutral terri
tory. Commitments were reinstated
here and there, however. on the
thought that selling dried up ap-
preciably in yesterdays session.
Imitation temperatures rose slightly
in the wake of the Senates vote
lifting corn ceilings to 81 40 bushel.
Commodities enjoyed an early brisk
run-up. but subsidized when the House
committee killed the Senate decree
and left the grain price matter up
in the air.
Airliners and amusements led
stocks on the morning upswing and
gains ran to a point or more for
favorites with new 1943 highs plen-
tiful. There were scattered retreats
toward the close although advances
were we'll In the majority. Dealings,
fast at intervals. slowed frequently,
but transfers were around 10000
shares.

SpecioI Court
Named TO Try
AP Case

NEW YORK, Jan. 16-Judge
Learned Hand, senior Judge of the
U. S. circuit court Of appeals,
named himself and two other
members of the court, Jan. Ii,
to hear the governments anti
trust suit against the Associated
Press. The trial was expected to
begin within a week.
This action followed a request
filed Jan. 9 by Atty, Gen. Francis
Biddle for a so-called expedited
court, which would hear the case
without awaiting its regular turn
on the court calendar.
Such a request is allowed when
the case is Of general public inn
portance. The governments charge
that the AP excludes competitors
of existing members from mem
bership grew out Of complaints
filed last year by the Federated
Press and Chicago Sun.
Judge Thomas w. Swan and
Judge Augustus N. Hand are the
other members of the special
court.

JAW poses
Bungling
By WPB
Lack of Planning
Slows Production
BY Federated Press

OAKLAND, Calf. (FP)-The
United Auto Workers (CIO) has
uncovered piece of bungling by
the War Production Board which
has all the makings of firstclass
scandal.
The mess involves the making of
army trucks. WPB awarded par
tial contracts all over the country.
The result is that parts are made
in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan,
shipped by rail to the General
Motors plant in Oakland, there as
sembled as truck chassis and re-
shipped to New Jersey, where truck
bodies made in Oakland and Stock
ton are to be put on the Oakland
made chassis.
Besides loading down the over
burdened railroads with all this
freight, GIN in Oakland has had
for three months a fully equipped
plant to make truck bodies, which
is working only a 36-hour week
for lack of orders.
Yet the WPB awarded a partial
truck body contract to farm i'm
plement company in Stockton,
which had to construct a new plant
and obtain workers while the GIN
plant in Oakland stood idle.
Local UAW Pres. Frank Slaby
uncovered the whole fantastic pro-
cedure, and has demanded investi-
cations by the WPB and the Army
Service of Supply.

Donnelly's
Takes Revenge
On Clergy

CHICAGO-The r. r. Donnel-
ley & Sons Co.-America's No. l
non-union printer-has taken re-
venge of its own on American
clergymen because the Chicago
chapter of the Religion & Labor
Foundation criticized the COM
pany's anti-union policies.
Donnelley's, which prints the
phone books in most major Ameri-
can cities, has notified clergy
that the listing of clergy resid
addresses as well as office ,,&s4-
dresses in the classified phone
books will be discontinued.
This will mean, the Christian
Century says, that the names of
most of the Protestant clergy will
disappear from the classified sec
tions because they have their Of
fices in their homes.
