Stock Leaders Drift
lnegularIy Lower
In Dull Session
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial writer

Associated PRESS financial writer,
NEW YORK, April 13.-Stocks, with
few exceptions, continued to back
track in today's market without be-
ing subjected to any real pressure.
Drying up of investment demand
again was blamed mainly on inva-
sion-thinking and fears of what
might happen to prices when D.
day" arrives. It was suggested,
however, that the list may have dis-
counted most anticipated repercus-
sions and, with a successful Allied
push into Western Europe, could ne
gotiate substantial rally. Encour-
aging was the fact that sellers were
as timid as buyers. Liquidating
urgency never was in evidence.
The downward drift got under
way after a mixed start and, near
the close, declines of fractions to g
point or more predominated, Trans
fers ran 40 around 100000 shares.
Prominent on the offside were
Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, Ameri-
can Smelling, General Electric
American Airlines, Goodrich, Sorry
international Harvester and Amer
lean Can. SeelS, motors and utilities
held to slim course. Occasional
gamers were Du Pont, Allied Chem
ical and Ovens Illinois. Celanese
weakened on announcement of a
stable new common and preferred
stock offering Of the company.

NEW YORK, April l3.--It is un-
derstcod that negotiations are now
under way with Goldman, Sachs g.
Co. looking to the first public dis

mated sales volume of more than

year about $5,30O,O00 of the out
standing Az per cent preferred

holders by number of large life

The proposed sale is expected to in
Volve not more than about 100000
shares, or about Is per cent of the
outstanding common stock
All the stores were founded by the
management, with the development
of the business being financed
almost entirely out of earnings. The
leading stores of the company are
located in Washington and Balti-
more. The Washington unit Is one
of the principal stores in that city
and accounts for about half the total
sales volume of the company. 1t was

|WPB Plan 10 End 500
Control Regulations
|H-Day Nearly Ready
By the Associated Press.

A detailed plan for dropping of
industrial controls on VE-day Is
due to be completed and started on
the rounds for Government approval
late this week.
War Production Board sources
who revealed this today said it calls
for removal of about 500 OF the TOO
WPB orders and schedules now in
force.
Those remaining to protect the
continued flow of supplies for the
war against Japan will cover textiles,
chemicals, forest products and some
other war items expected to be
scarce even after 40 per cent Of war
contracts are Cancelled.
It thus appears that WPB's "V-E''
preparations will be all but finished
by the time Chairman Donald NJ
Nelson winds up conversations here
in connection with his economic
mission to China, from which he
returned Sunday.
Mr.. Nelson, whose future role in
the Government is still to be speci-
fled, has not yet visited his Office at
WPB, now occupied by Acting
Chairman j. A. Krug. He is sched-
uled to report to President Roose-
velt today.
Little difficulty was predicted by
WPB officials in getting approval
for Mr.. Krug's reconversion blue
print from the Army, Navy, War
Manpower Commission and other
agencies concerned, for they said it
conforms to the sweeping pattern of
relaxation Endorsed unanimously by
WPB members a few weeks ago.
AS now scheduled. the V-E-day
program will be made public by Mr..
Krug as soon as the other agencies
give final clearance and will go into
effect automatically upon the cessa-
ton of fighting in Europe.
The biggest problem encountered
in the welter of paper work required
by the We preparations is said to be
the liquidation Of the controlled ma
terials plan. This is the machinery
by which WPB parcels out to the
various military and civilian claim
ants the country's supply of steel,
copper and aluminium.
