Selected Stocks Up,
Rails and Mail Orders
Among Advancers
BY VICTOR EUBANK.


NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Buying OF
rails, mail orders and selected peace
time industrials gave the stock mar.
ket another leg up on recovery to-
day although timidity of purchasers
clouded the optimistic shift to some
extent.
From the start dealings were
among the lightest in two weeks OF
so. While number of pivotals failec
to make any headway, leaders gen.
orally displayed advances running
to a point or more near the close
with scattered transportation pre-
ferreds achieving much broader
climbs. Transfers were in the neigh.
borhood of 100000 shares, against
100000 the day before.
Bidding again was based mainl,
on the hope that postwar consumer
spending would at least partly off
set reconversion casualties. Further
relaxation of Federal controls, be.
lief unemployment would be short
lived and talk of heavy foreign de-
mand for American goods buoyee
sentiment. Boardroom doubter,
were plentiful. however, and thes,
stood aside to await more definite
clues to the next market move.
Prominent on the upside were
Santa Fe, Southern Railway, South
ern Pacific, Atlantic Coast Line
Sears Roebuck, Montgomery Ward
Chrysler. Boeing, Goodrich. U. S
Steel. youngstown Sheet and Union
Carbide. Laggards included Con.
solidated Edison, Du Pont, Philip
Morris and U. S. Gypsum.

by Lie AooOCtatcu EIeSS.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Concern
that consuming industries may not
be able Immediately to take steel in
quantities which would warrant
high-level operation of steel mills
was reported today by the Iron Age
magazine.
While the railroads, warehouses,
freight carbuilders, autom O b ] e
manufacturers and farm equipment
producers will be able to take sizable
deliveries OF Steel" the magazine
said, many other industries such
as appliance manufacturers still
have major reconversion problem
which may take weeks to solve"
Until cancellation of steel orders
occasioned by war contract termina-
tions reach the mill level, Iron Age
said, complete reconversion of the
steel industry to peacetime opera
ton will be hindered. Cancellations
pouring into steel mills over the next
several weeks were expected to make
1t difficult to set up economic rolling
schedules.
Shipments so far this month
were reported comparing favorably
with last months volume with ship
ments still behind orders in many
cases.
Cold rolled sheet, tinplate and
galvanized sheet tonnage so far
have been relatively untouched by
the flood of cancellations, Iron
Age said. Unless reshuffiing of ad-
vanced schedules is done on the in
itiative of the mills themselves, steel
buyers previously classified as un-
rated will not find their prospects
for early delivery improved.
Competitive fences in the steel
industry are being repaired and
there is an apparent eagerness to
catch the big-time buyers. Until
some order, however, comes out OF
the present steel schedule problem
the large fiat rolled consuming in
dustries will continue to be faced
with no tangible prospects for ear
lier than October delivery

Social Agencies Urge
More Pay for Homes
Caring for Children

Proposals that private and public
social agencies in the District in
crease by approximately 100 per
cent the rates paid foster mothers
for the care of dependent children
to build up the number of available
foster homes we're made yesterday
at the annual meeting of the divi-
sion Of family and child welfare of
the Council Of Social Agencies.
An average of Is to 20 infants
are in Gallinger and Children's Hos
pital most of the time, waiting
sometimes as long as three months
while foster homes are found for
them, a study report made by the
Foster Care Committee said. The
report said dozens of older children
are put in crowded public institu-
tions because there are not enough
foster homes. although 1t is believed
these particular children need fos-
ter homes rather than institutional
care.
Must Raise Standards.
1--WE have not supplied even main
tenance costs for these children,"I
declared Mrs. Marguerite Mayer,
case supervisor of the Jewish So
cial Service Agency, who made the
report I'VE not only must raise our
standards so that we pay for full
maintenance - but if we want
enough homes and the right kind
of homes we also must pay for the
service given by the foster par
ents."
The average monthly payments to
the foster family for children, in
nine agencies studied in the re-
port, varied from $719 to $65. The
report proposed that on the basis
Of costs of care for children In the
District, and for the service rendered
by the foster family the payments
here should be from $50-$65 a month.
This plan. If adopted, would cost
at least twice as much as is now
being spent, the committee esti-
mated, but added: If we balance
this against the health, happiness
and future of the children for whom
We are responsible in placement, we
do not feel that the cost Is too
great"
Hopes for Wide Backing.
Mrs. Mayer said she hoped to see
wide public backing of the pro-
posals, resulting in, their adoption
by private and public agencies. To
allow for the increased costs, the
private agencies would need more
money from Community Chest funds,
and more from private persons.
The public agencies would need an
additional appropriation from Con-
gress to effect the change.
The agencies participating in the
study included the Arlington We'll
fare Department., Catholic Charities
of the District. Children's Protec-
tive Association, Children's Service
OF the District Board of Public We'll
fare, Fairfax Welfare Department,
Jewish Social Service Agency, Mont
gomery County Welfare Board,
Prince Georges County Welfare
Board and the Social Service League
of Montgomery County.
The survey showed a total of 1924
children in foster homes in January,
1914. OF this number. 81 were less
than one year of age. 1853 were from
to and 532 from II to Is.
Others Urge Upgrade.

DISSOLUTION OF LEAGUE NATIONS
 RECON M ENDED
New World Peace Organ zation Is to Take Over
 NonpoIifi(aI Functions
By FLORA LEWIS

LONDON, Oct. 12-Voting down the Soviet Union and Australia, the United Nations Executive Commit tee today recommended dissolution of the League of Nations and that the new world peace organization take over it's nen-political func- tionS.
 The Russians and Australians objected in a 10 to 2 vote that such move might make the United Nations just a continuation of the league. They proposed that the league be kept going as now until after the United Nations organization has been established.
 The Soviet delegate, Andrei Gromyko, said each part of the new security agency could then de- eide for itself which functions of the league it wished to absorb.
 The American and British dele gates, Edward Stettinius and Philip Noel Baker, maintained that the new peace organization would still have complete freedom of action under todays recommendation and that liquidation of the league would speed establishment of the United Nations.

 T consider it inadequate legis- latively. I consider it inadequate administratively.

 Further, Gov. Gruening declared: Tt is my impression, regret to state, that the. Veterans Adminis- tration is snarled in red tape and begged down with the size of its task. However, am sorry to have to inform you that Gen. Bradley, as recently as Sept. 12, rejected the request for an Alaska Regional office.

 Concluding his message to the Legionnaires, the Governor said: Apart from this, I feel, as I have stated on previous occasions, that the building up of Alaska s economy is the next general answer in fulfilling our responsi- bility to the returning veteran.
 The veterans of World War II have done their job-magnificently, and they are coming home. We have our job still to do."
