Stock Prices
MOveAhead

NEW YORK, Dec p CINS)-
The stock market got going today
for the first time this week and
rolled up+mpreSSipe gains in the
industrial and rail division.
Buying evidently was a technl-
cal reaction 10 the weakness which
had carried the list lower in pre-
NlouS sessions this week.
international Telephone & Tele-
graph was the days outstanding
performer. II opened up = on a
block of $500 shares and then
marched ahead for a gain of ] y
points.
Other spectacular gains were
centered chiefly in the rails. where
Santa Re Jumped pa points.
Steels, motors and aviation shares
were fractionally better.
Curb prices were better. Bonds,
under pressure at the start, i'm
proved later.

Sale Of Bonds
Halted by SEC

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. p -
SEC has disapproved sale by Cap
Hat Transit Co. OF an issue OF
ST.. 100000 first and refunding
mortgage bonds, Series A. a per
cent, due eel 1864, To an UNI
derwriting group of "a firms on
their bid of 97lg. This was the
only bid submitted when bonds
were offered for sale at competi-
tive bidding last Monday. Under
writers had planned to reoffer
bonds TO the public this week at
100. subject to commission clear
ance OF the sale.
In its order the commission said:
after careful consideration
of the record we are not salts
fed that competitive conditions
were maintained or that the
price 10 the company and the
underwriters spread are proper.
Therefore we cannot release the
jurisdiction which has been re-
served or approve the price and

Jobs at Stake

"This questionable has been
undertaken In order that we and
our dealers may share our think
ing with each other" says Hol-
Ter. 81 know that the attain
ment OF postwar prosperity with
maximum employment will de-
pend upon the effectiveness with
which sales, advertising. servic-
ing and other phases OF distri-
button and merchandising, are
planned In advance.
ct Is up to all OF us to de-
vote some of our thinking TO
the problems OF the future, and
to examine our activities and
to lay our plans for carrying
on after the war better than
ever before. Here In Chevrolet
central office we have been do
ing just that, but the problem
also involves individual planning
and effort on the part of every
Chevrolet dealer"

Used Car Situation

The used car situation is given
considerable thought. The ques-
tionnaire points out that since
new cars will not be produced
in great volume Immediately
after the war. the shortage in
used cars will continue and the
biggest volume will come from
owners of 1889 and 1910 cars.
Holler's views are that this
will give dealers a great oppor-
tunity for reconditioning the
trade-ins and will call for new
reconditioning facilities and ex-
pansion in personnel. What is
the dealer going to do about
this, he asks? Would il be
worth while to set up a special
course in appraisals?
The survey asks dealers ideas
on postwar profits. Will II be
a bigger gross on used cars or
smaller?

What S New
In Business
Plane Fare Cut
Planned by United
By WARD SCHULTZ

tinted Air lines plans 10
reduce its fares and is At
present formulating a program
along this line, according 10
New York reports. II has been
learned ON high authority that
United may make an announce
meut regarding fares IN 80 to
6Q days.
Tins will be the FIRST move
on the part of air lines 10 cut
air travel rates since the re-
duotion of approximately 10
per cent went into effect IN
July. l943 Present passenger
fares average trifle over ,
cents q mile and are in turn
lust a little above the highest
FIRST class rail travel fares
Pullman with lower berth or
roomette. In a few Instances
air fares already are slightly
below those for rail from point
to-point. Since air line distances
are somewhat shorter than rail
distances between most points,
the diffcrential on per mile
basis is less than generally sup
posed.
The fare reduction, amount
Of which is yet TO be announced.
Is a First step toward "A general
lowering of passenger and eN-
press rates which viii come
after the war Aviation men
predict that the first group Of
postwar rate reductions should
amount 10 about 10 per cent
this does not necessarily apply
10 United's cut--or 10 about IA
cents mile. Later when new
m o dem equipment becomes
available. fares of 4 cents
mile or less are anticipated.
Ultimately bus-type air travel
eF-uSe Of very large planes
might bring rates TO 3i2 cents
mile. as projected by Pan
American Anyways for Latin
American routes, but fares this
low are al least four or five
years away. according TO the
consensus among air line men.

Nation Faces
Grim Outlook
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor 81 Economics, n. Y. University
Some of the significance of the
recent war developments is be-
ginning to appear.
Obviously, the coming Of we
Day win be delayed and post
poned. Ultimate victory is as
possible as before, since the weight
of the allied resources is now
overwhelming and Germany Is
now in the position of being
blockaded and eventually starved
into surrender.
The only real danger is that the
Allies viii not pull together, and
that the possible victory may be
turned into a compromise treaty
of peace. But il seems more likely
that the German counterattack
will arouse the allied leaders TO
this danger. and help bring them
together. And the probable smash
ing of this counterattack presents
an opportunity of an earlier and
more complete defeat OF Germany
than might have come by the slow
process of pillboX and trench
hopping
Another obvious fact is that
there is TO be more worry, and
cost. and loss of life and limb than
appears TO have been anticipated
by our leaders tOf course. we the
people. being fed little news but
what is considered good for us,
cant know about such things. We
are therefore entirely justified in
blaming our leaders" for mis-
leading US.

COMMUNISM Hit

Communism is getting another
black eye with the American peo-
pie. The Communist factions have
endangered the safety of our
armies in Europe. And will Russia
now do her stuff, by initiating a
drive on her second front" TO
offset the German offensive
against US in Belgium? Maybe
she will be too busy organizing
rebelions in "allied" nations.)
Finally, I think that the alb
surdity of the White House claims
TO know all and plan all, both in
war and peace, abroad and at
home, should appear TO another
million or so of American voters.
What good did all the Hopping
across the Atlantic to Casablanca
and Teheran do?
