BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press financial Write,

NEW YORK. April Further
selective demand for rails helped
offset light selling in other sections
Of today's stock market.
Dealings were slack from the start
and near the final hour trends
were cloudy.
Another batch Of earnings state

argument for individual issues.
Many customers, however, continued
to stand aside On the idea invasion

result in unsettled market condi-

that new rates for board and care
in foster homes are now in effect.
They provide an increase from
S2325 to $50 per month for infants
up to 3 years Of age; from S2l so
to $25 for children from to IL,

Capital Of Bueovina
Is Major War Prize
For Soviet Forces

AS the Red Army returns to the
buffer lands across which Nazi and
satellite forces launched the inva-
sion of Russia, the city of Czerno-
WITT (CernautD, its district, Buco-
VIVA, and the River Prut are again
linked in news dispatches.
The Czernowitz region is situated
where the borders of Soviet Russia,
Rumania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia
and Poland either meet or closely
approach one another, says the
National Geographic Society. Nor
mally it is a remote corner of
Eastern Europe, little travelled or
noticed by the outside world.
Because of its strategic location,
however. it has long been the object
of diplomatic and political interest
on the part of the rival powers that
surround it, as well as one of the
first military sectors to be involved
whenever disputes have fared into
open conflict.
Capital of Bucovina.
Czernowitz, recently captured by
the Red Army, is the capital of Bu-
covina, region somewhat smaller
than Connecticut. 1t lies on the
west bank, far up the long Prut
River, which forms the boundary
between Bessarabia and Rumania
proper.
Czernowitz Is an important rail-
way station on the line that serves
Eastern and Southern Rumania and
extends northward into Poland.
From the north and east, as the
Soviet forces are now moving, the
city is also key spot on the ap-
proaches to Europe's great natural
stronghold, the Carpathian Noun
tains, beyond which lie the open
plains of Axis Hungary and occu-
pied CZechoslovakia.
Bucovina had been in Soviet
hands for only a year before the
Nazi invasion. In June, 1910, this
district was coded to the Soviet
Union by Rumania, along with the
much larger adjoining territory of
Bessarabia. A little later a new
Russian airport was reported under
construction at Czernowitz.
Enemy Thrown Back.
When the Germans attacked the
Russians, CzernowitZ, Bucovina and
the Prut River were frequently men,
toned in the confused, contradic-
tory claims that came from the early
battle fronts. Fighting was reported
heavy around the city, with the
Soviet defense holding until July 7,
1941, and enemy forces repeatedly
thrown back across the river.
Today's fighting, like the battles
OF 1941, recalls the Importance of
this sector during the 1914-18 war,
when Bucovina-then a crown prov
1nce of Austria-was a bitterly-con-
tested prize between the forces of
Czarist, Russia, and the central
powers. Czernowitz suffered par
ticularly, as it was passed back and
forth between the opposing armies.
In the earlier conflict, however.
there was major difference in the
general lineup, since Rumania was
then on the side of the Allies. This
factor brought the nation, along
with other territorial rewards that
more than doubled it's area, the
Bucovina region.
Bucovina, Land of the Beech
Trees" is thickly settled, with an
estimated population of 100000, in
Guiding Rumanians, Hungar1ans.
Germans, Ruthenians, Russians, and
Poles.

Heavy Easter Trade
Boosts Store Sales
We'll Above 1913
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

Rejecting very heavy Easter
trade in the Capital, department
ste sales for the week ended last
Saturday rose Is per cent above the
corresponding week a year ago, the
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
reported today. Sales in the 5th
district were up Is per cent.
Expansion of Easter buying from
the previous week this year also was
indicated by gain of per cent in
Washington sales. Trade in the
whole district was per cent better
than in the preceding week.
Cumulative sales in the stores
here for the four weeks ended last
Saturday were 9 per cent ahead of
the 1943 period and up 10 per cent
in the 5th district. Baltimore sales
gained IA and a group of other cities
30 per cent in the same period.
Bank Clearings at New Peak.
Bank clearings in the Capital
scored another all-time peak in
March, reaching $166,8O3, 371 SO
against $3.50, 125, 2o5.22 in March last
year, an increase of $7,678, 166. IA,
George H. Bright, manager of the
Clearing House Association, an
nounced today.
Clearings in the first three months
of this year also established the
highest total ever known for that
period. With jump of $50 $50, 493.-
81, clearings reached $500, 1886, us SO
against $448, 1856, 221.95 in the like
1943 period.
The rise in March was not as sur
prising as in February when clear
ings totaled $162, 4O9, 1873 and were
$26,361 1923 higher than in February
year ago, the jump being partly
due to income tax payments and
War Bond drive check activity. Tax
checks also figured heavily in the
March totals.
War Calls Insurance Men.
There are 48,100 fewer men en-
ployed in the life insurance busi-
ness than in prewar days, de-
crease of n per cent, the Institute
of Life Insurance says. On January
l there were 10000 male insurance
agents against 177,90O on January
l, 1910, a date selected to reflect
prewar levels.
Military service and the merchant
marine have taken 30,280 insurance
men and civilian Government serv-
ice or war production industries an
other $4,000. Women have replaced
many of these men. About IA per
cent fewer Office employees are now
handling % per cent more business,

Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond,

South Enjoys Trade Boom.
In the first two months of this
year Knoxville had the best trade
gain of any city in the country, 80
per cent, the Federal Reserve Board
reports. Department store sales in
Nashville were up Is; Miami, %,
and Jacksonville, 20. Many Western
cities, which showed sharp gains a
year ago, had slight decreases this
year.
