.Sfocks Narrow;

Again Active
Some Leaders Improve
Slightly at Close
Of Losing Week
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Write

NEW YORK. Aug. 5.-The stock
market today stepped out of losing
week with low-priced motors again
boiling and numerous leaders suf-
Ierlng from a mild selling freeze.
The list did fairly we'll from Mon
oay TO Thursday as accounts were
relnstated on a restricted basis by
those who figured the previous re-
action had served as a healthy cor.
rectlon OF the lengthy forward drive.
lrenos then began to waver when
customers reacted to the record heat
wave by trimming or shelving COM
mitments and leaving for an ex-
tended week end.
War Events Watched.
From Thursday on, caution was
the watchword because of the on
ward sweep of the Allies in Europe
and the thought that, if the Hitler
ties should collapse suddenly. SINH
lar repercussions which followed the
downfall of Mussolini might hit
markets. The safety zone then be-
came more attractive and liquida-
tion Friday was the most urgent
In two weeks with activity topping
the million-share level for the first
time since July "a.
Although there was a little more
optimism regarding reconversion
steps likely to be taken by Wash
ington, Skeptics here were SUM-
ciently numerous to stem any real
rallying effort.
Pivotals stiffened in spots TODAY
without getting anywhere on bal
ance and, as in the previous session,
Junior autoMntive issues quoted at
under $40 accounted for more than
one-quarter of the two-hour turn
over of 463,l30 shares, compared
with 231 ,260 week ago. The Asso-
ciated Press 60-stock average was
OF i OF a point at 542 and for the
six-day stretch showed a loss Of 5.
Graham-Paige Jumps.
Issues of independent motor max
ers apparently were buoyed during
the week by talk of new manage
ments, reorganizations. new f.
nanclng sources and planning for
heavy peace-time demand.
Graham-Paige, the fastest sprinter
OF the week, jumped 1la to 51z to-
Gay, a high for the last several
years. and since Monday was up 25s h.
Others ahead in the final session
were Hupp Motors, Hayes Mfg,
Packard, General Motors, United
States Steel, General Electric,
Southern Railway and Standard
Oil of New Jersey. Casualties of as
much as a point or so included
Bethlehem, Santa Fe, Dupont, Dow
Chemical, Deers, Chrysler, Douglas
Aircraft and Westinghouse.
Bonds were uneven. In the Curb
modest improvement was recorded
for Cities Service common and pre-
ferred, Republic Aviation and

Sergeant Declares Private War
On Papers Editorial Writers

When Staff Sergt. j. H. Morrison
returns from the South Pacific he
plans to settle personal grudges-
with certain editorial writer's and
razor blade manufacturers-"in in true
Army fashion"
Writing his brother. Horace T.
Morrison, 7611 Georgia avenue NV,
Sergt Morrison said: IF you, as a
lawyer, could only strangle one of
our prominent newspapers, you
would be doing a greater service to
our country than ever I can do.
Here we are, trying so hard to be
goodwill ambassadors and help
promote cohesion with our Allies, the
Australians, when along comes an
editorial, plastered all over this
paper, declaring they are not doing
their part.
These articles have no truth
whatsoever, and have only personal
hatred as foundation They make
1t harder for those of us who must
live and fight and die alongside the
Australians. You can believe me
when l say that if we, Nation of
130, 100000 people. do as much as
the Australians are doing, this war
won't last long. -
