Comeback in Motors
Highpoinfs Week Of
Timid Stock Buying
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The week S
stock market turned in fair recov-
cry performance although many
leaders faltered and buying timidity
was the most pronounced OF the past
year.
Best advances were scored last
Monday and Tuesday as earnings,
dividends and peacetime business
prospects received more conSidera-
ton. Wall Street still was bit
nervous as a result of the British
election upset, but apprehension here
waned to some extent. Low-priced
motors accounted for the bulk OF
dealings during the five days, with
Graham-Paige the speediest sprinter
at l945 peak. Quotations for these
tapered as the week drew to a
close.
Accounts were trimmed Wednes-
day and Thursday pending the an
nouncement from the Big Three
parley and japanese war develop
mentS. The direction was upward
Friday despite the fact the Potsdam
conference report, released late the
day before, provided scant inspira-
ton marketwise. Rails led the up
swing as further debt reductions for
important roads were announced
The flaw in the final session was
that volume dropped to only 5l0,-
900 shares smallest for full stretch
since last September l8. Many Gus
toners stood aside because of an
other lengthy week end. Principal
securities markets are suspending
Saturdays until after Labor Day.

average lost l6 points in July, but
during the week came back g of

Bonds were aided by the quick
sale of S45,O0O,000 of Southern Bell
Telephone 2%s. Commodities, on
balance, improved with stocks.

notable gain of 1l5,604 and another

 We have had just ordinary fires in Waterbury to the smallest during the Marshals reign For he brought to his investigations flair for the dramatic and intensity of determination to the of fire which hgghted them all the dangerous and disastrous elements they
 His efforts to teach the wisdom of fre-preventon stemmed from saunch conviction that many such dis asers caused by caeessness coupled with lack of mag nation to the terrible poenaes of fire. He not only urged caution by word he personally demanded caution by act and deed Fire shows avortsm and because of this Marshal Lahey refused to permit the element of personal favorsm to enter into his efforts minimize the of fire.

it may take the Congress long to write a law the subject it took the Manhattan District Engineers to make the bomb itself. Scientists are having their inning now, but it will take the rest of December for them to conclude.
 After Congress reconvenes the political scientists will have their say Then will come labor groups peace societies, and spokesmen for the religious groups. In spite of the asar talent on the Senate Committee, the hearings in the first week wandered all the lot. No one line was taken and followed through to any kind of conclusion.

 Truman hit the ceiling.

 Then, staring at Wyatt sharply, he said, How do a good job if fellows like you aren't willing Co come up here and help me?"
 This made a deep impression on Wyatt. Next day he called at the White House for five minutes. Walking into the Executive Office, he said, MT. President, I've come in to surrender"
 Ordinarily it is the work of a Cabinet officer to tender a man a job. But now Truman finds he has to phone men personally and beg them to work for the government The other day Truman, who resents criticism of his numerous Missouri appointments, told one visitor:
