Selected Stocks Up,
But Many Leaders
Lack Support
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Buyers con-
tinued highly selective in today's
stock market and, while scattered
rails and industrials were pushed up
fractions to points on fair-sized
turnover, numerous leaders faltered.
Trends, shade mixed at the
start, hardened before midday. Top
marks were reduced or Cancelled In
q number OF cases, however, after
noon and the direction was rather
obscure near the fourth houf.
Dividends and earnings inspired
relatively heavy demand for Chicago
& Northwestern common and pre-
ferred, together with other scattered
climbers. Cashing Of profits in sew
eral of Thursdays gamers by those
who desired to await election re-
suits and war developments served
as handicap.
Aside from the bulge in G. e. N. w.
issues, modest advances most of the
session included Bethlehem, Public
Service OF New Jersey, Goodyear. In
ternational Harvester, Douglas Air
craft, Westinghouse and Kennecott,
Occasional stumblers were New York
Central, Chrysler, United States
Rubber, Allied Chemical, Texas Co,
and International Nickel.
Bonds were trifle spotty.

were American Gas, American Re-

FRICATE SINKS
TWO NAN SUBS

LONDON, May IL ZAP The
British frigate Spey destroyed two
Nazi submarines recently in a dra-
matte running fight while escort
ing a convoy in the north Atlantic,
the admiralty announced today.
Without casualties a n d undam-
aged, the small fighting ship pick
ed up 49 German survivors in the
first engagement that lasted only
few minutes after depth charges
had forced the U-boat to the sur
face. Sixteen survivors were tax
en- aboard after the frigate's four
inch guns sent second U-boat
to the bottom a short time later,
the announcement said.
The first victory came after the
frigate opened up with her guns
at range of 500 yards and scored
many hits. During the action sew
eral of the enemy crew jumped
INTO the sea while others manned
the U-hoat's deck armament and
returned the frigate's fire without
effect.
The second U-boat sank stern
first when the frigate guns blast
ed it at a range of 300 yards.

NIPS TAKE RAILWAY
Military Picture Much
Brighter In India And
Burma Theaters
BY RAY CRONIN

Associated Press War Editor
The grave military situation in
Chinas north Honan province sent
a wave of unconcealed concern
through that nation yesterday as
the Japanese threat against the
strategic city of Loyang mounted.
The Chinese admitted the invad-
ers have linked their north d
central China forces by taking con-
troll of the entire Peiping-HankoW
railway.
In India and Burma, however,
the military picture was much
brighter from the Allied viewpoint,
with American, British and Indian
forces, supported by powerful air
unitc, continuing to advance in
most sectors.
American planes, operating in
the central Pacific area, blasted
widely separated Japanese strong
holds.
Chinese reports disclosed anoth-
- CoPoAASoS GllloSA1 dSd1ll0L LUy-
ang, former capital of the rich
Honan wheat country. The Japa-
nese battled their way across the
Yellow river near Yuanchu, as
miles northwest of Loyang. One
Nippon spearhead of tanks and ar
mored cars, supported by planes,
pushed to within six miles south of
the city. Another invading column
was near Yenshih, 81 miles east
of the japanese objective. Fierce
fighting ragged just south of the
ancient Honan capital and Chung
king reported casualties on bolh
sides were heavy.
The Honan drive has given the
invaders control of about 10000
square miles of territory.
