Election Uncertainty
Keeps Most Stock
Buyers on Side|ines
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Stock mar
ket customers generally inclined to
hub the prediction safety zone to-
day and, while modest bids were
forthcoming for assorted leaders,
many issues met light selling or
slumbered In the unchanged coll
umn.
Trends stifIened here and there
after q hesita1t opening and, while
activity was slack the greater part
OF the proceedings, sizable blocks
OF low-quoted stocks, most Of which
got nowhere In particular, helped
put volume at around 700 900 shares.
The direction was moderately foggy
near the close although fractional
advances were plentiful.
InAsmuch as major markets will
recess for tomorrow's balloting,
caution was the watchword of spec
ulative and investment contingents.
Some timid buving was attributed
to the belief that If the present ad-
mlnistration Is victorious no real
reaction would eventuate. whereas,
If the other side should win at least
temporary upswine was a possi-
bility. Marketwise the war news
took a back seat and politics was
the absorbing topic In the financial
district.
Ahead most of the time were U. s..
Steel, Bethlehem, General Motors,
Chrysler, Goodrich, International
Harvester, Westinghouse, Texas Co.,
Johns-Manville, Eastman Kodak,
Grumman Aircraft, General Elec-
trio, United Corp. and Western

and washing machines There can be- jobs for everyone provided there is the closest cooperation between labor, busi- ness and government. But we must plan to produce 40 per cent more peace time goods than we ever did before. We will have at least million new workers, even after wives return to their homes and stu dents to their schools .. Once the war comes to an end the problem of recon verting our agriculture will face us more rapidly than most people realize"
 Agriculture. That is to be the big thing when the war is over. The making of the new washing machines and vacuums and refrigerators is going to be like nothing we have ever seen before. But too the back to the farm and the living off the land are going to be similar to what they were in the beginning, when our country started to. exist. With all of this in mind-in times of war we like to think of peace.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-06-27
War And Peace

In times of war we like to think of peace; especially as the war advances and shows signs of elimination. Eco homie reconstruction is topic much dis cussed and much written about. Many of our United States leaders have had Important things to say about economic reconstruction. There is likewise a lot of drivel written about this as well as tossed on the breeze orally by speakers who don't know much about it but like to mouth attractive phrases.
 Among those who has made definite and constructive statements about recon struction is Henry A. Wallace, vice-pres- ident. Last October he said in part: 'sWhen peace comes, as we hope it will next year." and that makes it this year, ssthe problem of reconversion will be on us at once, first in industry and year or two later in agriculture. Within few weeks tens of billions of dollars of war contracts will be cancelled and the fac tories will scramble to get back to work producing autos, radios, refrigerators
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-06-27
Confusion Again

According to the New York Times, gov ernment officials again predict coal shortage and rationing this winter which may call for a general cutback affecting all industry, or curtailment of supply to non-esSential industries. Government officials are considering program for government stockpile" of coal, but at the same time they urge the public to lay in their own individual supplies early, and not depend on the government stock pile.
 The shortage scare has been kept be- fore the public since the labor question became political issue in the coal in- dustry. The people know that there is a great demand for coal, and they also know that our coal mines have met that demand in the face of strikes for which politics was largely responsible.
 Inasmuch as government for many months has virtually controlled coal min ing operations, it would seem that it is about time for the wartime administrators of our solid fuels industry to evolve meas ures which will assure the nation unlimited supplies from one of our most abundant natural resources, or else step out of the picture and let somebody take hand who can get production, instead of shortages
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-06-27
Two Separate Jobs

Ship owners are asking Congress for permission to go into the air transport field. They argue that British compe- titorS are going to supplement their sur face services with air schedules, and that Americans will be left at great disad- vantage unless they are permitted to do likewise. 1t is easy to imagine that the ship owners would benefit from such a dual setup But to the layman it seems improbable that joint ship-plane opera tion is the only solution, the best Solu- tion, or even desirable solution to the really puzzling problem that faces our postwar merchant marine.
 Without belittling the great import ance of maintaining our hard-won po- sition of primary importance on the high seas, it is vital also that we play d major part in the coming Air Age. And our share in world aviation surely cannot be protected best by turning it's development over, in any considerable part to com peting industry Transoceanic air lines are in direct competition with surface shipping. Before the war the competl- ton was limited to luxury passengers and midget packages. After the war, aviation experts hope, the planes will be able to 20 after passengers well below the luxury class, and to carry packages of greater bulk and weight. Advancement in trans oceanic aviation can be achieved eco- nomically, and made competitively self supporting, only if postwar aviation is in the hands of experts whose fortunes and regulations are Staked upon their achieve ments in that one field Neither rail roads nor steamship lines should be given any major part in the development of aviation. Planes will compete directly with both, and American history has shown that such competition is the secret of greatest success.

Comment

Having counted several hundreds, then waited several days, we have cooled off enough to comment objectively about the IF grinders who stopped working on Superfortress motors one day after the B-29 raid on Japan was announced
 If one of those men was our brother, we should close the door of our home to him and erase his name from the family Bible.
 That, we hope, would better indicate our feeling than the physical or economic chastisements that first suggested them selves. But, incidentally, we would also fire all 117, and ban them forever from war work and refuse them any public assistance of any sort. ..s. .

Vandalism is rampant here, there and everywhere. Perhaps reading and hear ing about the action in all theaters of the war on land, on the sea and in the air, the youth at home are moved to work off energy by some pretty frightful acts, New York City's parks are getting the worst shellacking in history. And that perhaps goes for other major and minor cities Down in New York the superintendent of parks is pleading with parents to plead with their children The parents, how ever, are too much engaged in other oc- equations to do the necessary curbing, which is too bad. And if the children have once got the habit of committing acts of vandalism it is hard to correct them

Convention Gains Momentum

What with the heat and humidity out in Chicago hitting towards an all-time high, hotel reservations at a minimum and enthusiasm in general at the same low ebb, the Republican convention got off to what looked like as dismal start in many years until Governor Earl War ren of California in his keynote address last night supplied the necessary spark that added a decided new stimulus to what looked like pretty drab affair. In a word Governor Dewey undoubtedly is the conventions choice for the presi- dential nomination, but it is Governor Warren who is carrying the ball.
 Aside from the concentrated efforts of the group of Republican governors, among whom our own Governor Raymond E. Baldwin has played an outstanding part, the convention itself has practically revolved around Governor Earl Warren. That there should be any question of being the party's second choice on the ticket should be unthinkable to those delegates assembled in Chicago. MT. Dewey sorely needs such running-mate if he has any thoughts of winning the election in November.
 All in all harmony for the most part, perhaps too much harmony seems to pre- vail throughout the conventions sessions thus far. The one exception perhaps so far to mar what looks like an otherwise cut and dried routine convention is the injection of MT. Willkie'S letter to the convention denouncing, what he terms, ambiguity" in the foreign plank. How ever little or no cooperation was expected from Mr. Willkie and it is doubtful if any objections or suggestions from that source will be taken seriously. The platform is practically, as the saying goes, in the bag, the convention set to nominate Governor Dewey for president, in all probability Governor Warren for vice-president, and then adjourn in the forlorn hopes of the Democrats splitting wide open before next November.
