Stock Prices Uneven
After Best Week
Since Last June
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE stock
market today stepped out of its best
week since last June with buyers
turning to assorted rail and indus
trial specialties while cashing profits
in many recent climbers.
AS in the preceding session. some
customers stood aside for protection
against possible weekend news
eventualities. Individual situations
provided bullish inspiration. Peace
rated stocks benefited from cheering
battlefront reports and, while arm
ament groups were a bit subdued,
most showed little if any weakness.
Correction Expected.
Because of the successive string of
new seven-year average highs, ex-
pectations of a sizable technical cor
rection aroused considerable caution
in boardrooms from the opening on.
Dealings were active at intervals al
though slowdowns were plentiful.
Closing prices were well mixed.
The Associated Press 60-stock
composite was up i of a point at
Ola, equalling Thursdays top mark
since September 4, 1887, and showed
net gain for the week of 1T points.

Two Shots al Burglar;
Police Take Up Hunt

A 46-year-old locksmith broke
up the second robbery attempt
made against him In two years early
yesterday, firing two shots at a
colored intruder which police be-
lieve wounded the thief.
Joseph Mercurio, 312 Fifth street
NE, who served in the merchant
marine in the World War, caught
the colored man in the act of ram
sacking his home, after hearing
suspicious noises.
He spotted the man on the stairs
in the beam of his flashlight and
fired point blank with 80 caliber
pistol. The thief screamed and
fled into the backyard. Mr.. Mer-
curio followed and fired another
shot, but the burglar made his es-
cape.
Investigating officers could not
find any bullet marks in the down.

are checking physicians and hospi-
tails today in an effort to appre-
hend the man, who is described as
stocky, about feet inches tall.
weighing 165 pounds.
Two years ago, while living at 906
L street NV, Mr.. Mercurie routed
another housebreaker with his pis-
tol when the intruder's presence in
the house was revealed by the
barking of pet bulldog.
Meanwhile, Mary Holiday, man
ager of the Iron Gate Inn. at 1913
N street NV, reported thieves en-
tered the rear of the establishment
over the week end and made off
with a small safe containing $3.50
in cash and an unknown amount in
War Bonds. She said entrance was
gained with a duplicate key.

|WorId Conference
On Tariff Reduction
Is Urged in Report
BY the Associated Press.

! BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Calvin B
Hoover, head of the intelligence
group for the Allied Control Coun-
Gil in Germany, urged today In q
report published by the Committee
for Economic Development that the
United States call an internationa
conference for the multilateral re-
duction of trade barriers.
Mr.. Hoover, who is dean of the
graduate school of arts and sciences
at Duke University, said America
should lower its protective tariff
in substantial degree in return fol
reciprocal action by other coun-
tries and should refrain from using
the tariff as a means of Tending
off foreign competition for its war
born industries.
Can Afford Leadership.
America is economically so strong
Mr.. Hoover argued, that it can af-
ford to take leadership in asking
nations to cooperate in freeing
world trade from most of the bar
riers and governmental restrictions
surviving from the war.
Imports need not be feared as a
cause of unemployment, Mr.. Hoover
said, if America takes effective ac-
ton against domestic conditions
leading to depression.
Our standard of living is raised
by exchanging goods and services
that we produce most efficiently for
those produced more efficiently by
other countries" he said.
Mr.. Hoover urged that interna-
tional cartels be eliminated or con-
trolled by national or international
regulation.
Modern Fleet Urged.
America should sell It's surplus
merchant marine to other maritime
nations, Mr.. Hoover said, and retain
a modern feet to protect our ship
ping needs plus an emergency
security reserve. Shipping services
to the United States by other ma
tions will help them acquire dollars
for purchase Of American goods, he
added.
International trade expansion
Mr.. Hoover said, depended on large
scale employment and consumer
demand in the United States and
on American collaboration in world
plans to build high employment and
purchasing power in other countries
through achieving the freest pos
sible trading conditions among ma
tions.
