Stocks Up Fractions
To More Than 81
In Brisk Trading
BY VICTOR EUBANK.
Associa ated Press Financial Write,

NEW YORK, Sept. l8.-Broad
buying demand gave the stock mar
ket another lift today, its fourth in
row, with dealings the liveliest
for Saturday in about two months.
The list, piloted by prominent in
dustrials and rails, resumed the
swing at the opening. The ticker
tape speeded up during the first
hour. There were subsequent slow
downs as profit taking put brakes
on the rise but gains of fractions
to 2 or more points were wide
spread near the close Transfers for
the short stretch were around TOO
600 shares.
AS in the preceding session. senti-
ment was buoyed by the consistently
good war news, passing of the mid
september tax payment date, hopes
Tor constructive congressional leg
islation pertaining to business. and
the outlook for the big Government
bond drive going over the top before
the end of the month.
Alrcrafts and other recently de-
pressed armament issues revived in
the wake of the Presidents warning
that the world conflict still had a
long way to 60 Peace groups, how
ever, maintained their popularity on
the idea that victory was only a
matter Of time. The aviation sec
ton was bolstered by opinions that
it may have been oversold.

Government cannot sell any of its
property without first obtaining
permission from the Planning Com
mission.
The market was erected about 40
years ago, and at one time did a
thriving business. In recent years,
however, business has been dropping
off, and it is no longer profitable as
District property.
Approval also was given for the
immediate erection of a temporary
frame schoolhouse on the Barry
Farms playground on Nichols ave-
nue. Sc. After the war, it will be
replaced by a permanent building.
Before adjourning, the Planning
Commission took steps to close Oxon
Run Parkway and Pope's Branch
to any future streets. Within these
two Anacostia parks on the Dis
trict's highway map are number of
streets marked for future construc-
ton. The action of the Commission
yesterday served to abolish these
paper" roads.
Before final action can be taken,
the District Commissioners will hold
public hearings. The area at the
eastern end of East Capitol street
also is literally "papered" with pro-
posed roads, and the elimination of
these on the maps is also suggested

Back From the Wars
Necktie Saves Life of Sailor
Losing Leg in African Londinq

A first-class seaman who took part
In the landings at Safi, Africa. has
most profound and thoroughly un-
derstandable admiration for neck
ties One of them saved his life.
He is James V. Minichino, %, of
Brooklyn, N Y, now a patient at
the Navys Medical Center at Be-
thesda, Md
Attempting to tow a grounded
boat from reef off Safi, Mr.. Mini
chino had his right leg torn off
below the knee when a fouIed cable
became wrapped around his foot.
An officer in his boat tied his neck
tie around Mr.. Minichinos leg. Fif-
teen minutes later he was back
aboard his transport, being pre-
pared for an operation.
Faces New Surgery.
Another operation has been neces-
sary since and Mr. Minichino is not
certain now whether he has seen
the last of an operating room.
Complications which have set in
may necessitate further operations,
he said.
Il was a little bit of everything
before Pearl Harbor," he said. For
little while 1 served as a welder.

blanca. 1t wasn't long before we
were headed back across the ocean
all alone. I often wondered what
Id do if We were torpedoed and it
became necessary for me to swim
That would have been the end Of
the trail for me, ] guess he said.
Later we picked up a great con-
voy of English and American ves-
sells and we got back without even
sighting submarine. That doesn t
mean there weren't some ashcans
dropped. We just didn't see a
thing, that's all" he continued.
Right now I've got a good job.
I'm working in the photographic
Office of the Navy and I like it
fine"
Like many another patient in the
Bethesda hospital, Minichino would
like to be somewhere else.
Longs for Brooklyn.
The sight of good old Brooklyn
is going to be most welcome when
I get another chance to see it again,
Minichino said. Right now I'm
working on a transfer to Brooklyn
so that l can be near my wife and
my son, who is only year old"
Asked whether he has been in
convenienced greatly by the loss Of
his leg, he said
We'll, it's just another one of
those things that you never miss
until you haven't got it. I mean I
never knew it was so important to
me until Id lost it. But I'm not
weeping over it. A great many men
have come back without any leg at
all. At least have part of mine. -

Business Briefs
Industrial Production continued

Industrial Production continued to
rise in August after a July recovery
that overcame the setback connected
with the coal strike, the Commerce
Department reported. Although the
July-August upturn was the first
since April, the department added
that it "has not solved the basic eco
nomic problem confronting the Ma
tion-how to raise war and essential
civilian goods output by the last
few billions needed to attain the
wartime peak while at the same time
continuing to avoid imitation"
Bad Railroad Accidents are the re-
suit of trying to carry heavier traffic
without proper facilities, according
to the magazine Railway Age, which
declared the carriers cannot keep
physical properties in safe condition
or operate them safely without
enough equipment, materials or
manpoWer."
A Million More Women Must Go
to Work in civilian industries by
July, 1914, If present production
schedules are to be met, the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board
warned. THE problem of labor
supply has grown so great that if
production schedules are to be met
during the next II months, 1900
workers must be found for essential
war industries for every 1000 enter
ing military service" the board
added.
Crude Petroleum Stocks on Sep
tember II totaled 234, ,389 900 barrels,
a decline of 246,OO0 from a week

nounced. Stocks of domestic oil de-
creased $4,000 and foreign crude in
creased $4,000. Daily average pro-
duction for the week ended Septem-
ber II was 4,354,0OO barrels, an in
crease of 10000 over the previous
week.
Advancing Wholesale Prices in the

Associated Press index of IS staples

pared with 1868 week earlier and

A Unified Banking System to sup
plant the present dual system Of
State-chartered and national-char-
tered banks was advocated by Mar
riner S. Eccles, chairman of the
Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, in an address be-
fore the National Association of
State Bank Supervisors at Cincin-
natl. THE dual system, with its
checks and balances, is an integral
part of the American democratic
system" was the comment of A. L.
M. Virgins, new ABA president, who
was among financial leaders oppos-
ing a change.

submarines in the Atlantic, had an
nounced to Grand Admiral Karl
Doenitz commander in chief of the
German Navy, his willingness to
