Carrier Stocks Lead
SeIective Recovery
In Brisk Trading
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Write

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Rails and
other armament-rated stocks re-
vived briskly today in the wake of
the cloudy war news although many
market leaders elsewhere remained
somewhat depressed.
The important counter-thrust OF
the Nazis in Europe was far from
comforting to Wall Street, but spec
ulative eyes, nevertheless, turned to
securities that stand to profit by the
apparent lengtheing of the German
conflict. The carriers, in particular
were viewed as having better
chances of improving their financial
positions. Numerous customers, at
the same time, envisaged stumbling
blocks in the matter of persistent
tax necessities, diplomatic unsettle-
ment and growing difficulties for
civilian production. These either
shortened their accounts or stood
aside.
The transportation section rallied
after absorbing considerable liqui-
dation at the start. While favorites
were up fractions to point or more
at seven-year peaks near the close,
losers were plentiful. Dealings were
livelier and transfers were around
! ZOO 900 shares.

With invasion in the offing I de-

difficult to arrange, admit. know,
however, that you could see full

fresh from zero.
For almost full week I watched
and, in some cases, worked with
the men who make 'amphibious ac-
ton" possible-those who go over
the transport side into the landing
craft and up the beach, and the other
men who see that they get there,
from scouts and raiders who slip in
at night, crawling through the wash
Of a strange beach to throttle the
sentries and clear the way for the
others. to the last of the reserves.
I have never met a finer type of
man, soldier or marine, and they
are all there-army, navy, coast
guard, and the engineers, the sea-
bees, the medicos, scouts, raiders
and the other specialists. Coopera-
ton is the key to the greatest

Jeweled Ornaments
Trim Latest Shoes

One basic pair of step-in shoes or
1attering simply-styled pumps with
a collection of interchangeable orna-
ments is a new formula for footwear
that will tune to all occasions. In
your favorite bootery you can now
buy smart buckles of every descrip-
ton, from fabric-covered to hand
some steel types, also ribbon ro-
settes and jeweled ornaments of var
ious descriptions. You can use your
own ingenuity to achieve other
changes. For instance, velvet rib
bon drawn through cut steel buckles
adds a gala touch. For more CLAM
our, tack gay rosebuds to a bit of
ribbon and draw it through the plain
fabric buckle. Then again a ribbon
bow or rosette starred with sequins,
colorful jewels or glittering rhine
stones takes your simple pump right
into the party-dress circle.

Debate on Gee Extension
Labor to Use Organized Strength to Fight
Increased Prices; Administration Is
Counting on That Support.

NetUs analyst and Commentator.

question, he said it could be carried
out without subsidies"
There isn't any question that con-
gress will favor the support plan.
That's accepted as essential in war
time and sometimes welcomed at
other times. The reasoning is that
you don't ask munition maker to
sign a contract to deliver machine
guns without telling him what the
price will be. In order to carry out
the farm program, you have to de-
mand certain things of the farmer
in order to get the thing you want.
Hence the guaranteed price.
But subsidies are a horse Of a
different color. Support prices pro-
tect the producer Subsidies protect
the consumer. Without them, the
price ceilings crack.
Farm income has risen 116 per
cent in dollars since 1889 when the
war in Europe began. During the
last war, it rose steadily, 1913 per
cent. However, there is a catch in
those figures. In the last war, the
farmers dollar rose only 10 cents
in purchasing power. Today, the
farmers income has risen u per
cent in terms Of purchasing power.
Preliminary Report
Just what is ahead? On or before
February II, debate will begin on
the bill extending the life of the Com
modify Credit corporation containing
an anti-subsidy provision.
Meanwhile, the farm bloc adher-
ents and supporters will probably
carry on a pretty good publicity plan
for their side and some of the con-
sumner groups will be heard from.
Labor will shout the loudest and
most effectively. But that is simply
because it is a large and we'll
organized group. It is a strange
