NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Stock mar
ket prices continued their retreat
today with steels and motors Lead
ing general decline of fractions to
more than points.
Among the principal losers were
United States Steel and General Mo-
tors, both of which face the possi-
bility OF strikes.
Shares were mixed in the first
hour of dealings, but plus signs
gradually disappeared and only a
handful were apparent near the
fourth nour. Activity picked up as
the list moved lower and then slowed
somewhat.
Mounting industrial strife and po-
tential labor walkouts with their ef-
fects on reconversion accounted for
part of the selling. Also, analysts
have been forecasting a technical
correction of the recent lengthy ad-
vance of the market to eight and a
half year highs.

Goodyear, United States Rubber,

Sleep,
Soldier, Sleep!

In the United States today there
are 172,775 rolling beds on the rail.
ways, of which ia, 1881 are assigned
exclusively to military use. This
includes those in standard Pull.
man cars as well as in the special.
ly designed troops sleepers. In ad-
dition, military personnel in indi-
vidual movements occupy a large
percentage also of the beds that
are not specifically assigned to
troop movement. The reason why
there have not been more ambu-
latory beds for the use Of soldiers
and sailors is that, except for
sporadic quantities of troop sleep
ers, the Pullman Company and the
railways were prohibited from ac-
quiring more sleeping cars dur
ing the war.
Now that this government re-
striction on buying and building
cars has been lifted, the railways
have placed with the cur build
ers stable orders for new light
weight sleeping cars, but these will
not be ready in time to handle the
peak troop movement which, ac-
cording &c advice from military
sources, is to be expected in De-
cember. Even after the govern
nlent restriction is no longer eff
fective. the labor unions of the
country have applied their own
restrictions on the building of
sleeping cars for troop movement,
and the fact that the labor re-
strictions are unofficial does not

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. %. -
R-You can find weighty hints be-
hind the confusing headlines Of
the day, and some Of them are en-
couraging.
President Truman told his press
conference today that he saw no
need for further Big Three meet
ings if the United Nations Organi'
zation functions as it should. Ac-
cording to word from London, il
should begin functioning within
one to three months.
Pessimists may interpret the
Presidents statement as an indl-
cation that another Big Three
meeting wouldn't accomplish
much. But it also is open to the
Interpretation that the President
considers that present pressing
international problems can at least
be contained until the UNO gets
started and working.
Couple this seeming optimism OF
the Presidents with the news
from Moscow that Marshal Stain
