BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK. Mar. 4.-The stock
market today finished an uneventful
week, with scattered liquors and
specialties performing on the upside
while the general run Of leaders did
little or nothing.
Aside from brisk push in tho
utilities Friday which. on balance,
carried the group to the best mark
since october %, last, and runup
in the beverage group in the final
session. features during the six
day stretch were few and far be-
tween.
Earnings Studied.
Moderate firmness Monday lifted
the general average to a peak for
the year, but purchasing was highly
selective and apparently based
mainly on earnings and dividend
hopes. Profit taking Tuesday
started the recently strong rails on
downward slide; offerings were be-
ing inspired by disappointing Janu-
airy net income compilations.
Moderate and selective recover
les predominated Wednesday and
Thursday without much outstand-
ing news to bolster trends. The
power and light division came to
life yesterday, as industrials and
rails backed water, seemingly spur
red by reports the SEC would ap-
prove integration programs of a
number of companies.
Average Is Unchanged.
The Associated Press 60-stock
average was unchanged at 5l.3 and
on the week showed a net loss of i
of point. Dealings were relatively
slack throughout the week and to-
days total of 1872 .440 shares COM
pared with 372,710 last Saturday and
was the smallest since February 5.
Tapering of prices generally as
the week drew to a close was at
tributed partly to possibly imminent
war developments and talk of some
of the Axis junior partners suing
for peace.
Today's alcoholic swing came in
the wake of Cubas temporary en-
barge on exports of beverage alcohol

Senator Edwin G. Johnson, Cd.

In Denver, all military and civil

the large number of persons of
Japanese ancestry in that area.

ting back at the enemy as an artil-

Macarthur.
HULL SILENT
The state department would make
no immediate comment, but this
government, presumably, had long
and insstently sought satisfaction
from Japan over her refusal to
abide by the conventions of decent
nations in the treatment of war
prisoners.
Representations through SWitzer-
land, the power protecting United
States interests at Tokyo preSuma-
bly, had failed to produce results,
or the tale of Japanese atrocities
would not have been told at this
time.
Chairman Sol Bloom, CD, N.

committee said:

Hui! Disc|oses
Efforts to

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. CUP) -
Secretary of State Cordell Hull,
commenting on Japanese atrocities
against Americans and Filipinos
captured in the Philippines, said
Friday it would be necessary to
assemble "all the demons available
from anywhere and combine their
flendiShneSs to describe the con-
duct of those who inflicted these
unthinkable tortures."
Hull indicated that this govern
ment already had protested to the
japanese against the atrocities that
have been disclosed to the public.
But he frankly admitted that
protests heretofore filed with the
Nipponese in instances of Cruelty
imposed against the war prisoners
or interned civilians had proved of
little avail.
Asked specifically whether this
government was compiling list of
Japanese officers in the Philippines
with a view to holding them ac-
countable after the war for the
atrocities, Hull said this govern
ment is investigating all phases of
the situation in the Philippines,
seeking rs much information as it
possibly can get for use in handling
the war guilt problem after the
war
