Peace Scare
Hits Stocks

NEW YORK. Jan. 18 (UP)-
Another peace scare" selling
movement carried stock market
prices down 1 TO more than 2
points in the main list today after-
a temporary show of firmness at
the opening.
Prime Minister Winston Churchs
i'll asserted in London that the
American triumph at "Ardennes
''is more likely to shorten this
war than lengthen it" just a few
hours before Russia asserted her
forces had penetrated the German
border.
The drop in prices wiped out
practically all the gains estab-
lished in the previous session. The
so-called war babies" rails,
steels, aircrafts, motors and rail-
way equipments, were under
pressure.

Although the law requires
veterans to make application

JET Principle Seen
for Auto Engines
RN SILER FREEMAN

BY SIlER KEENAN,
7 would seem a Tar cry from
the deadly vi robot bomb 10
the peaceful passenger automo-
bile. But the Ford Motor Co,
which makes the jet-propulsion
engine that flies the American
VI on IT'S destructive route,
may bridge that wide gap.
RAY RauSch. general super
intcndent of the Ford company,
believes that the jet principle of
propulsion may be used on cars
and also on boats. Company en-
pineers have been studying the
Jet principle and think that 1t
can be applied some day.
RauSch feels that jet propul-
sion will be used on cars before
steam win. The limitations
which now beSet the device can
be- licked. he believes. The jet
engine could be made in any
size desired and would be placed
IN the rear Of the car.
The present car eng e
weighs about five pounds to one
horsepower" he pointed out.
THE aviation engine weighs
about n pound per horsepower.
The jet engine, though. gives
three horsepower per pound. y
No doubt. the Jet principle in
its application TO cars is still
far off. But at least such hard
headed production men like
RauSCh are thinking about IL.

Motors al New Peaks,

BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Vyriter.


NEW YORK, April 30.-Motors
and other assorted peace-rated
stocks pushed to new eight-year
highs in today's market. although
many leaders we're unable to sur
mount light profit taking on the
lengthy drive. " "
The idea that victory in Europe
was matter of hours and that post
war prosperity was better than an
even bet for numerous companies
inspired the principal bidding.
Thoughts of business transition
problems elsewhere, however, served
as a cautionary influence and ac-
counts were trimmed here and there
for this reason. Dividends and
earnings provided props for indi-
vidual favorites.
Trends generally slipped after the
opening but buyers soon appeared
and early declines running to a
point or so were reduced, cancelled
or transformed into plus signs. Near
closing prices were well mixed. Deal
ings were slow at intervals but
transfers for the full proceedings
were around 100000 shares.
Chrysler was a star performer,
jumping about 4 points. In front
were General Motors, Studebaker,
Gimbel, Woolworth, j. C. Penney,
U. S. Steel, Youngstown Sheet, j. L.
