Motors, itself. - holding mp the

subsequently,, the distribu-
TORS and dealers have been
Informing the public that the
only reason they could not
deliver cars for which they had
bona fide orders and which are
on the showroom floor was
because OPA would not re-
lease the 1946 price schedule.
In fact, was personally told
that to deliver car would
subject the dealer 10 a $4,000

ABNORM TALLY HIGH

The pronounccUcnt IN favor Of
maintaining low interest rates
means continued and growing in
hation. 1t means that the gov
eminent Will continue To borrow
and spend vast sums, and that
the capital value Of any fairly
certain income viii be abnor-
mally high for long while.
the weld on high grade bonds
is two per cent. then the yield
on high grade stocks may fall 10
say three per cent. That would
probably mean great deal higher
prices in a good many cases.
As 10 the renewed talk about
checking speculation, don / worry.
There Is nothing they can do
about it except 10 push the whole
market over, which they don I
dare 10 do. On any scj-od due
to threats Of higher margin re-
quiromcntS. etc. buy freely -
that would bc my advice.

DIP MODERATED

According 10 what may be
called normal speculative Sc
quence. secondary reaction
seemed likely after Tuesday last
week. 1t IS my opinion that a
rudimentary one did occ +
Wednesday and Thursday; but
that the force of imitation, backed
By greater hopefulnesS concern
ing the strike situation, short
ened and moderated il so that YOU
could hardly see II. Now IL seems
to be over. and the market 10

Two points stood out last week.
One was the now high In public
utility stocks tho highest since
1881. The other was the Official
announcement by the Secretary
Of the Treasury that the easy
money policy is 10 be continued.
The action Of the utilities re-
fleets real confidence in the
preservation of the institutions Of
private property and private en-
tCipriSc in America.

Plain Warnings
OF Reaction Seen
BY LEWIS HANEY
Professor Of Economics. N. Y. Uniysr,i,

Professor Of Economics, n. Y, University
The action of the stock market
last week was favorable to the
-htills ,Ififefe -wcrr plain warm
ings that speculative eXcesses are
being committed, but it is often
a long while between the first
storm warnings and the coming
of the big wind, and such will
probably be the case this time.
More and more, from now on,
you will have 10 rely upon spec
ulatiye signs and symptoms, in
stead OF investment analysis. One
of these days tperhapS about Feb
ruaryl YOU VIII witness a reaction
that will make your head swim.
But the end Of the bull market
is not yet even in sight. and the
immediate symptoms indicate that
the recently threatening sPectifa-
tive storm blew around the mar
ket without doing much damage.

Painters Union. No. 186. this week announced that the contrac- tors in Greater New Haven have unanimously agreed to a new con tract with the union which in- cludes vacations with pay for the |members of No. 186.

were headed by AFL President William Green and include CIO and Railroad Brotherhood. spokesman.
 The AFL has repeatedly made 1t clear that it favors giving service men seniority for the time they have served in the armed forces and many AFL unions have organ ized training and unemployment centerS for war veterans. Some over-eager representatives of vet eran organizations, however, have tried to claim super-seniority for |Servicemen which would permit them to displace workers with life- long seniority preference and even veterans of the first World War.
 Union chiefs described establish ment of the committee as a hopeful sign that differences over a reem- ployment of veterans may be ironed out at the conference table with out bitter clashes in the postwar period. Negotiations are already under way within the committee for a policy on protecting and ex- tending job opportunities for re. turning service men.
 Meanwhile. showdown is loon1- ing among government agencies over the question of 'super-senior- ity" for veterans.
 Some time ago, an American Le- zion official, while serving in Se- lective Service, put out a ruling sustaining such "super-seniority.' Other veterans organizations are strongly opposing the interpreta- tion, however. contending that un- der it, men who served in this war could bump" from jobs veterans of the first World War. Union spokeSmen and most employers have likewise condemned the rul- ing. They maintain it misinter- prets the Selective Service Act and may lead to chaos in industry after the war.
 The issue has been put before the 12-man advisory council of the Unemployment and Retraining Ad- ministration for decision.

AFL Committee Endorses Results Of Inter-American Conference

Washington, D. C.-The Ameri- can Federation of Labor heartily endorsed the accomplishments of the Inter-American Conference on problems of the war and peace. A resolution adopted by the AFL Committee on International Labor Relations said:
 Rarely has any conference of sovereign nations achieved such 8 fruitful meeting of the minds. Hard Iy ever had an international con- ference before faced so many or such difficult problems. Seldom has there been greater need for courageous contribution In coping with common obstacles. Only rec ently had decades of exploitation given way to 8 consistent good neighbor policy. Yet the nations of the Americas which met at the Castle of Chapultepec created pow erful machinery for hemisphere security and economic progress.

America to Hear of Seabees
 In New AZ of l. Radio Series

Washington D. C.-America has not heard enough about labor's own Seabees. The Japs wish they never heard of them.
 For instance, the U, S. Navy De- partment recently issued an off, lcial statement including this sig nificant paragraph:
 "A Philippines landing field which couldn't be built because of QuickSand, swamps and impossible depreSsionS was open for business in three weeks time, thanks to la- bor's own fabulous Seabees who manned the heavy trucks, bull dozerS and power Shovels turned out months ago by American labor. The Seabees of the Navy, of whom the JapS wish they never heard, turned the water-logged site into gleaming airstrip of hard-packed coral"
 So that America can learn more about the Seabees. the construction battalions of the Navy who were recruited largely from the building trades and metal trades union of the AFL, a new series of thirteen weekly radio programs, sponsored by the AFL oyer the Columbia
