Stock Market Rises,
with SteeIs and

NEW YORK. Aug. 9.-Steels and

of a general stock market advance
Of from fractions to more than 2
points coincident with Soviet decla-
ration of war upon Japan.
Wall Street reacted nervously in
initial dealings and sold fairly large

was quickly reversed after buying
orders began to pour in. Rubbers

orally rose. Aircrafts were improved
near the close.
Volume approximated l,500, ,00O
shares-highest in about three
weeks and compared with Toe, 900 In
the preceding session.
1t was agreed that the Soviet
action along with development OF
the new atomic bomb probably
would hasten the end Of the war
and thus confront business and in
dustry with reconversion problems
sooner than previously had been
expected.
But this was softened by Presi-
dent Truman's presentation of a
five-point plan designed to speed
reconversion and his recommends

as possible.

SeIf-AdministeredUse
OF SuIfa by Wounded
Soldiers Halted
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the ASSOCIATED Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-One OF this
wars reputed lifesaving marvels, the
sulfanilamide, which men put in
their own wounds, has been def
nitely abandoned for self-adminis-
tered use.
Abandoned by the Army also is
the issuance Of the eight sulfa tab
lets which wounded men were in
structed to swallow Immediately.
The change marks the conclusion
OF a great experiment, which was
good to a certain extent but which
developed disadvantages and which
finally was outweighed by the many
other lifesaving treatments oil
wounded which the war perfected.
Disadvantages Known.
The disadvantages OF powdered
sulfas in wounds were known at the
start Of the war but were outweighed
then by the urgent needs of setting
up a huge medical organization.
While the sulfa powders killed
some of the infectious germs they
failed to stop the decomposition
which furnished the material in
which blood poisoning ultimately
might develop. The powders were
a foreign body in wounds which
sometimes slowed the natural heal
ing processes.
After three years study in the
combat zones and in hospitals in the
United States it was concluded that
no presently known drug can ster-
ilize an infected war wound. This
conclusion also includes penicillin.
Saw Risk in Self Cures.
The reason for abandoning the
eight sulfa tablets was mainly that
too many men saved up the issues
to use them for venereal disease.
There is one serious risk in self
cures of this disease: If a man does
not take enough he not only fails
to cure the disease but afterward
his germs are likely to have an i'm
munity from the sulfas which makes
1t difficult to cure him at all.
Another~risk is the fact that the
sulfas that fail to cure may drive
the disease under cover, so that tn,
man shows no symptoms until tn,
trouble returns in a more seriou.
form.
The sulfas which the soldier tool
by mouth are effective against SOM
infections of wounds but not agains
others. In the present care o
wounded the surgeons get the mel
early enough to give them eithe
sulfas or penicillin in time.

D. {. Banks Increase
Veterans Loans for
Business Purposes
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Several washington banks have
recently increased CT loans to wal
veterans for business purposes, II
was learned in the financial district
today. A limited survey indicated
that majority of loans for new
homes under the CT Act are still
being made by building and loan
associations.
Bankers said they are being con-
suited far more freely by veterans
regarding business loans, their
chances of success and the amounts
they might borrow to advantage
Bankers have been more than glad
to offer financial advice. Where
business ventures appeared doubt
full, officials have been careful to
point out the reasons in detail.
Banks are still handicapped In
loans on real estate, especially re-
garding the time such loans may
run. Much progress has been made
in Congress toward getting these
restrictions removed, the proposed
legislation now being before the
Senate after passage by the House.
Banks Growth Impressive.
Growth of the Hamilton National
Bank, which plans stock dividend
of one share for every four now
held, has been most impressive, the
Jump in deposits from $8,725,451 to
$88, ,125,578 being the outstanding
achievement.
The latest bid for Hamilton stock
over the counter is $3.50 a share,
with none offered at that price. The
coming offering to shareholders of
$4,000 shares will be made at $50
q share, on the basis of one share
for each two now owned.
In a letter to the stockholders,
President w. J. Waller says the bank
desires to make a substantial in
crease in capital funds and diStrib-
ute to shareholders, in the form of
stock, some portion of accumulated
earnings. The new plan requires an
affirmative vote of minimum of
two-thirds of the outstanding shares.
Mortgage Lending Scars.
Home mortgage lending by all
types of savings and loan aSSocia-
tionS in the United States in the
first half of 1945 was "a per cent
greater than the same period of
1899. a peacetime year, the National
Savings & Loan League announced.
This increase occurred despite
tight wartime controls which caused
a SO per cent decline in construc-
tion loans, but loans for purchase of
homes were up 295 per cent from
January through June, as compared
with the first half of 1899, the league
stated. June lending by asSocia-
tions was 26 per cent higher than
May and l9 per cent above June,
1914.
Financial District Comment.
Frederick, Md, with a population
of $4,000, claims near top honors
for bank deposits for a city of that
size. The five banks, three national
and two State, reported a total of
SAL 1863, ,735 in deposits after the last
call, this record being made despite
the fact that there are any number
of small banks in the surrounding
territory.
The charter for the Bank of
Commerce & Savings, Seventh and
E streets, was issued 38 years ago
on August 7, 1907, the bank being
opened on December 7 as the Dime
Savings Bank. The present name
was taken in 1911. Joseph Sanders,
vice president, is the only charter
member still on the board
G. Dallas Rand, formerly assist
ant division manager for Sylvania
Electric in Washington, has been
appointed division manager.
