Eastman Praises War Role
OF Mississippi River
BY the Associated Press.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 18,-Trafic on
the Mississippi River and its trlbu-
taries has so changed that 95 per
cent is Of commodities directly re-
lated and essential to the war effort,
Joseph B. Eastman, Director of the
Ofice of Defense Transportation
said today.
The river system now embraces
5000 barges, from 100 to 5000 tons
in capacity, and ! 900 towboats from
200 to $500 horsepower, Eastman
told the opening session of the 25th
annual Mississippi Valley Associa-
ton Convention.
This fleet has been able to rem
der a service it was wholly unable to
DO in the last World War he said.
"BargeS last year transported the
very sizeable total of l6,500 900 900
revenue ton-mileS. which afforded
the railroads much relief"
Because war operations require all
types of craft. Eastman explained,
"a very considerable number of YES
sells has been taken from the great
lakes for ocean war service and
quite few from inland waterways.
The remaining domestic water
transportation has had to handle
the war load with practically no eX-
pansion in faCilitieS.'

Selected Stocks Up,
But Many Leaders
Lack Support
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
hSSnciated Dress Financial Writa,

NEW YORK. Oct. 18.-Assorted
specialists exhibited a fair amount
Of strength in today's stock market
while many leaders acted bit tired
after last weeks mild recovery.
Earnings prospects apparently ac-
counted for most of the buying that
appeared. Some commitments were
reinstated on the theory the recent
comeback might have farther to go
before meeting any real profit
taking resistance Discussions of
postwar problems served to keep the
conservative ranks we'll filled and
tax skepticism continued as a handi-
cap.
The list was spotty at the start,
did better around midday and again
turned somewhat uneven near the
close. Dealings were relatively slow
throughout, transfers for the full
proceedings running to about $4,000
shares.
In the favored division were
American diStilling and Western
Union which touched new tops for
1943.
Reorganization rail loans tilted
forward in the bond department.

Ocouting is a world wide move
ment-bnt there are no Boy Scouts
in any Axis country. -. Why?
Perhaps it is because Scouting
teaches tolerance and human
brotherhood, regardless of race or
religion.
Perhaps it is because Scouting is
broader than national boundaries
or political parties.
Perhaps Il is because Scouting
encourages independence and self
reliance, instead of RECOMMENDATION.
At any rate, the finest possible
tribute to the Boy Scouts is the fact
Nogales international., 1943-02-12

that Adolf, Benito and Hirohito
are afraid of them!,
The spirit of Scouting is the spirit
of America. The restless, searching
spirit of a pioneer people. Free
men and women, working out their
own lives. Building, inventing, inn
proving. Taking the risks and en-
joying the rewards. Bettering the
world as they better themselves.
Out of this freedom of indi-
vidual opportunity grew the great
American industries that are pour
ing out planes and tanks today.
