By VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Write

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-THE Stock
Market today put on another slow
motion recovery picture starring
selected motors, aircrafts and as
sorted industrials, but showing many
leaders in the minus chorus.
There seemed to be Z little less
apprehension over industrial tran
sition Notwithstanding extension Of
the Allied drive toward Berlin
spelled the, approaching doom Of
the NaziS and the possible appear
ance Of home.front problems. It
was suggested that plans Of busi-
ness to return to peacetime activi-
ties might be more compact than
generally known.
Investment forces still were nota-
bly, cautious, though, and inclined
to keep commitments light pending
confirmation elsewhere OF the Maine
Republican sweep and developments
at the Quebec conferences.
Dealings turned exceptionally
apathetic after moderately active
opening and, while gains Of frac-
tions to a point or 50 were we'll
spread over the ticker tape near the
close, losers were plentiful. Trans

Clear With Sidney
Story Pure Fiction,
hannegan Declares
~ thu Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Robert T..
Hannegan, Democratic national
chairman, today termed absolutely
untrue" statement he attributed
to Republican leadership that Pres
ident Roosevelt during the Demo-
cratic National Convention directed
Mr.. Hannegan to clear everything
with Sidney"
This was q reference TO Sidney
Htllman, director Of the CIO Politi-
cal Action Committee.
Mr.. Hannegan, reading . state
ment at press conference. said the
opposition's strategy was "the sim
pie and outworn approach Of raising
false issues and repeatingS them
often enough In the hope that. they
finally will be mistaken for facts" :"
He declared that Gov. John w.
Bricker, Republican vice presiden-
tial nominee. Saturday night gave
further currency to the wholly false
invention that when the President
was passing through Chicago while
the Democratic National Convention
was in progress he directed me in
this language, Clear everything
with Sidney"
Story Called Absolutely Untrue.
"The fact is that President Roose-
velt, with whom I conferred alone
on that occasion. did not say that" !"
Mr.. Hannegan added. Nor did he
say anything else that could have
been tortured to convey that mean
ing. That story is absolutely un-
true. I don't know who invented 1t.
/ presume Republican orators will
keep repeating this favorite fiction
until election Gay in the forlorn
hope that some people will believe
1t Is true"
Celebrating, Mr.. Hannegan said
he conferred with the President
alone on his train on that occasion.
He said he CHannegan) talked with
Mr.. Hillman only once during the
Democratic convention, in Mr.. Han
negan's room, and the only state
ment Mr.. Hillman made was that he
was "for" Vice President Henry A.
Wallace for denomination.
Il said was for Senator Truman
for Vice President" Mr.. Hannegan
said.
Seeks Maximum Turnout.
Asked by q reporter whether Mr.
Hillman had anything to do with
shaping the policy of the Democratic
Convention" Mr.. Hannegan de-
clared Mr.. Hillman was a delegate
and IF he was a delegate, he had a
vote"
Mr.. Hannegan was in Chicago for
a three-day conference with Demo-
cratic leaders from 23 Midwestern
and Southern States. -
He said his conference was for
developing a program to assure
maximum registration and a maxi
mum turnout Of voters November z
and that definite statement would
be issued Wednesday. A final meet
ing of Western States will open Sep
tember l8 in San Francisco, he
added.

ture of dignity and a story more
eloquent than words. Be sure to
see it.
I had occasion recently to get
something out of the freezer lock-
er for the first time. The day was
fairly warm at least by the time 1
reached Pyle's Store, where the
lockers are located. To start with,
having no previous experience, I
had no idea what the locker num-
ber was, and had to phone home.
Then I grabbed up the key and
after life and death struggle
with the door, entered the storage
room and found the locker. After
a mad scramble with the key and
lock, it finally dawned that the key
must be the wrong one. There fol-
lowed another tussle with the
heavy door and a sickening
thought that maybe the door would
never open and in a few hours
somebody would come in to get a
roast out for dinner and find my
frozen body in its last brave stance
beside the door. Horrible feeling.
The door was opened from the
other side, however, and with the
correct key 1 went back into that
Siberia. After picking up every
package in the locker before find
ing the right thing, fumbling mad
ly with those frozen chunks, stomp
ing my feet to keep warm, and fin
ally escaping thru that maddening
door-what happens? I have pick
ed up a packabe belonging to the
co-renters of our locker, and have
frostbitten fingers, ears and feet
for my troubles!
Next time I shall go equipped for
the occasion = fur-lined gloves,
snow boots, ear muffs and a wooden
scarf!

them in order for him. He speaks
