SeIective Stocks Draw
Only Modest Support
lin Slow Session
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

ASSOCldteu fTtSS rlHHHClhl Writef.
NEW YORK, April 29.-The stock
market today stepped out of an in
definite month with selected issues
attracting modest support and lead
ers generally failing to indicate the
next trend shift
1t was one of the slowest sessions
since last September-transfers for
the two hours approximating 200, 900
shares-and near the close frac-
tional plus signs were a shade In the
majority. Numerous pivotals were
unchanged from the opening on.
Wall Street still was more or less
bullish for corporate earnings and
domestic politics but most potential
purchasers inclined to conservatism
because of possibly important war
developments over the week end
which could have serious market
lrepercussions. On the whole,
though, it was thought that pre-
invasion apprehensions had waned
appreciably and that the list was in
pretty good shape to extend the re-
covery. Selling, consequently, was
as timid as bidding. Outcome of
the Montgomery Ward-WLB dis
pute was awaited for price-direction
clues.
General Motors was a trif1e i'm
proved most of the time in the wake
of a relatively satisfactory first
quarter statement. Montgomery
Ward common also maintained its
balance.
In front at intervals were Bethle-
hem, Goodyear, United States Rub
Der, Southern Pacific, American Tel
ephone, Texas Co., Standard Oil Of
New Jersey, Allegheny preferred,
General Electric, American Smelt-
ing, Douglas Aircraft and Interna-
tional Nickel. Occasional laggards
were United States Steel, New York
Central, Sears Roebuck, Du Pont,
Union Carbide, Chesapeake & Ohio

Vandenberg Assures
British COP Regime
Would Cooperate
BY the Associated Press.

6S tHe ASSOCldteO fTeSS.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican
of Michigan declared last night that
If the Republicans win the presi-
dency in November, Great Britain
can expect this country to join with
it and other nations in rational
and practical" cooperation to sta
billze postwar peace, justice and
economy.
The Michigan Senator, chairman
of the COP Postwar Foreign Policy
Committee, gave his personal views
in reply to request from the Lon
don Daily Mirror for answers to
three questions the newspaper said
are causing uneasiness in Britain. ~
The Mirror asked If there is any
reason to believe that under a Re-
publican administration and the
pressure of domestic problems
America would tend to withdraw
from the field of international COL
laboration."
New Stimulus" to War.
would Anglo-Amerlcan relations
undergo any material change under
a Republican administrations" the
British paper asked
It's third question: What would
be the attitude of a Republican ad-
ministration to a strong and united
British Commonwealth of nations
after the war"
Pointing out that he could not
answer for the Republican party,
Senator Vandenberg said it was his
opinion that first of all a COP ad-
ministration would put new stimu-
lus" into the irresistible objective"
OF crushing Germany and Japan.
American Interests First.
at will then be literally true to it's
Mackinac (conference) pledge for
responsible participation by the
United States in postwar co-opera-
tive organization among sovereign
nations to prevent military aggres-
sion and to attain permanent peace
with organized justice in a free
world" Senator Vandenberg said.
The Senator predicted Republi-
can administration would "vigilantly
protect essential and legitimate
American self-interest precisely as
Mr.. Churchill repeatedly asserts his
vigorous purpose to protect British
self-interest.
But it will recognize that this
sef-interest includes rational and
practical international cooperation
with Britain and all the other
sovereign United Nations to stabilize
peace, justice and economy" he
added.

Social Security Held
Problem Of States
Dy the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-Further de-
yelopment in our Social Security
system should be by State and local
Government rather than at a ma
tional level, Eric A. Johnston, presi-
dent Of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, said yesterday
In speech before the Executives
Club Of Chicago, Mr.. Johnston said
programs such as Social Security
Should be kept close to the people
to the employers. the employees and
the taxpayers"
Complete economic stability can
be obtained only at the price OF
complete regimentation," he de-
clared. 1T would demand a master
plan imposed upon producer and
consumer alike. The remedy would
be worse than the disease.
Monopoly and cartels are fire..
quently praised for the stability
which they are alleged to bring to
an economy. But whatever stability
monopoly may establish can easily
be onset by the stagnation which
generally ensues. This encourages
underemployment. We must under
stand that If we really want to pre-
serve free enterprise we must pre-
serve competitive business"
