ffofeator OF ttOnonlcs, NcN fofk inlNerhHy
In view of the general chart
formation and the news, il seems
TO me that the stock market has
given a good account of itself.
In the first place, TIE sell-off
last week looks like the usual
second part of a technical re-
action, often called a secondary
reaction In bull market, after
the first down plunge of say five
points, the market rebounds on
short covering and quick buying
for a turn, regaining about half
the loss, or say two and one-half
points
Then the buying ceases and
more profit taking comes in, with
the result that a further reaction
O ours. This may break through
10 new lows or may be checked
at, or a little above, the preceding
low.
If so checked. and if the volume
goes down as the preceding low
is nearcd or tested. the reaction
is probably over In time, the
main upward trend is resumed.

Democrat, Of Nevada, has some
what similar idea
Senator Robertson, Republican,
of Wyoming, agrees on the neces-
sity of trained civilian army. but
wants Congress to draw the pro-
gram. Senator Chavez, Democrat,
of New Mexico, insists that there
be no deferments for any physically
qualified person.
Senator Knowland, Republican,
of California, has his own program
with a point system setup by which
the training could be spread over
several years. Senator Hawkes.,
Republican. of New Jersey, prev
iously had made a public statement
supporting the principle Of COM
pulsory training.
Huffman Keeps Mind Open.
Senator Huffman, Democrat, of
Ohio, said he sees the necessity of
some kind of compulsory training,
but is keeping his mind open on the
type. Senator Maybank, Democrat,
of South Carolina, approves the
Presidents plan but wants training
done locally.
Senator Magnuson, Democrat, of
Washington, insists it must include
scientific training as well as mill
tary. Senator Radcliffe, Democrat,
of Maryland. says the experts must

sin; Capper, Republican, Of Kansas;

kota: Walsh, Democrat, of Massa-
chusetts, and Wheeler, Democrat,

Senators Taft, Republican. of
Ohio, and Chandler, Democrat. of
Kentucky, say the need for compul-
sorry has not been demonstrated.
Senator O'Daniel, Democrat, of
Texas, thinks the country is not
ready for it. Senator Wherry, Re
publican, of Nebraska, answered
mo" to the poll question, but said
that does not rule out his support
of some kind of training program.
Bilbo Favors Volunteers.
Senators Mcclellan, Democrat, OF
Tennessee and Shipstead, Repub-
lican, of Minnesota said they had
always been against compulsory
military training. in the past. Sem
ator Bilbo, Democrat, of Mississippi
thought that If military service is
made attractive enough there will
be sufflcient volunteers.
Senator Hoey, Democrat, of North
Carolina said he favors the sort
of training that can be received
through ROTC work in colleges.
Senator Revercomb, Republican, of
West Virginia thought sufficiently
strong reserve could be developed
through colleges and high schools,
plus strong National Guard.

military conscription until all serv-
icemen are home and have a chance

On Green Stamps
As Reds Run Out

With the last red stamp in War
Ration Book validated and q start
made anew on green stamps for the
first time In 18 months, an OPA
source said last night there still,
remain suficient stamps In existing
books for year and half Of
rationing at the current rate Of use.
Nobody in OPA expects rationing
to continue very many more
months, but the agency has received
inquiries as to whether existing
stamps would be sufIicient to take
care Of the remaining program.
OPA has announced that begin
ming Thursday one green stamp,
N-8. will be validated, plus the last
four red stamps in Book 4-W-1,
XII, Y-1 and I'll.
Green stamps in Book 4 were last
used in February, 1914. They were
validated In the fall of 1943 after
expiration of the last red stamps In
Book 3, OPA explained, in order to
keep Book 4 red stamps intact until
tokens could be put in use.
Forty-eight green stamps remain
In Book 4, plus other miscellaneous
stamps.

civil war was disclosed today by
Minister of Information K. c. WI.
WI said the Central Government
proposed that If the Communists
refrained from obstructing railway
communications the status quo
could be maintained outside the
railway zones. CThis implied that
Central Government forces would
keep hands off the Communists in
areas away from the railway lines,
providing they did not interfere
with the movement of government
troops and ordinary passenger traf-
flc by rail-
WI said the government had
urged the Communists to send to
Chungking their representative on
the military subcommittee created
at the recent unity talks here to
discuss practical arrangements for
reorganization of Communist forces
and areas where they are to be sta
toned"
Will Wire For Instructions.
The government further proposed
that the projected political consult

Chungking talks should be con-
vened. In effect, it appealed to the

Communists to nominate and send
to Chungking their representatives
on this body, so that it could actu-
ally begin it's task of seeking a solu-
ton for pending political questions.
WI said the Communist repres-
Ientatives in Chungking had agreed
to telegraph Communist headquar-
ters in Yenan, Shensi Province, for
instructions.
AS to the current military situa-
tion in China as portrayed by the
Communists, however, WI asserted
no comment was necessary because,
he said, the Communist version was
at variance with the facts.

Chungking quoted the Commu-

Wealth Reported Removed.
Anxiety in Chungking over Rus
sia's China policy was based to some
extent on reports that Moscow had
refused to allow Chinese government
troops to land at Dairen and Port
Arthur, and that Russian occupa-
ton forces in Manchuria were trans
ferring much of the country's NOV

|War Job Deferments
For Men Under 80
Apparently Halted

The Interagency Committee ap-
parently has called a halt to fur
ther relaxation of the once-rigic
draft policy toward men under sc
years of age in war industries.
Shortly after War Manpower Di-
rector McNutt announced Yesterday
that 36,400 more young men in key
industries have been certified fol

was learned that the group at a
meeting yesterday had refused tC
authorize any added deferments.
Officials of the Interagency Com
mittee. which handles defermen,

cles for establishments under theil

month ago that no more certifica
