N. y. STOCKS

NEW YORK, June %. (UP) - Stocks
extended Thursdays losses by to 4
points in a less active session Friday.
Attempts to rally in early trading failed
to generate new buying and the market
fell of its own weight with no support
except at wide price concessions.
Sears -Roebuck, for example, touched
116k, up IL, at the opening. Later 1t
fell 81 points from the top. American
Distilhng, another early gamer, dropped
more than points from its high.
Steels had losses running to point.
Chrysler nearly . points. Johns-Manvilie
was down points. Douglas dropped
more than 2. Airlines had losses run
ming to points in TWA. Rails were
down fractions TO more than a point.
Utilities eased small amounts. Standard
Oil IN. J.D fell more than point Losses
of a point or more were noted In Ameri-
can Telephone, Allied Chemical Mont
gomery-Ward, Lockheed and U. 5. Rub
Der.
Commonwealth Southern featured in
turnover and held at the previous close.
Pan-American Airways was active at
small net gain. Low-priced motors, not
ably Packard, Graham-Paige, Nash
Kelvinator, and Studebaker were active.
Rails had a fair-siZed turnover.
The whole market continued nervous
as traders awaited definite indication of
trend. In some instances disorderly
dealings developed and in the case of
American Distilling it was necessary TO
halt trading for three hours.

Unit Sets Up
Ship Sales Plan

WASHINGTON, June 29. (UP)
The House Merchant Marine
Committee has approved legiSla-
ticn setting minimum and maxi
mum sales prices on war-built
merchant ships. 1t also would re-
strict sales of these ships to for

a substantial portion" of the
country's foreign commerce.
2. Capable of serving as a naval
and military auxiliary in time Of

8. owned and operated by
United States citizens.
4. Compose of the best
equipped and mcst suitable type
of vessels.
5. Supplemented by American
owned facilities for repairs, mar
inc insurance and other services.
Committee members said the
price restrictions have the ap-
proval of maritime commissioner
Emory S. Land who would be re-
sponsible for selling surplus YES
sells. They provide that no ship
shall be disposed of for more than
80 per cent or less than 55 per
cent of its pre-war domestic cost

ANDERSON DUE TO GIVE FOOD A RIDE
Official Navy Photograph
BY JACK STINNETT
NE Associated PrenaD

WEASIII4N1 Wv, " u IL Z u. - IA
Swede who has two farms in
South Dakota, a huge dairy cat
tie ranch in New Mexico, a son
in the Army, and who has been
more critical of food handling
than any other official in Wash
ington-that's Clinton p. Ander-
son, who soon will be our new
secretary of agriculture.
When President Truman sur
prised the wise guys and named
the Democratic congressman from
New Mexico for the job, there
may have been just little bit of
that 'if you're so smart run it
yourself CLINT in his eye.
AS chairman of the house COM
mittee investigating food short
ages, Rep. ''Clint" Anderson had
scorched the administration set
up for sugar and meat shortages
particularly. He was ready to
launch on a whole survey of the
nations pantry when the Presi-
dent named him food car" with
all the authority that Secretary of
Agriculture Wickard and War
Food Administrator Marvin Jones
have had to date.
The tall, curly-haired, 49-ycar-
old New Mexican has about as
varied an experience as any sue
cesSful man could have. Born on
South Dakota farm, on which
his father from Sweden has pros
pered, young Clint got his educa-
ton at South Dakota Wesleyan
and at the University of Michi-
gan.
His father was a member of the
now defunct Populist Party, but
young Clint carried his admira-
ton for President Wilson to the
polls and never has been any
thing but a loyal Democrat since.
After a turn at neWspapering,
Anderson moved to New Mexico
for his health. He built up a con-
Siderably successful general in
Surance business at Albuquerque;
acquired an 800-acre ranch.
When President Roosevelt came
into office, Anderson was preSi-
dent of Rotary international. The
next year he was state treasurer.
In 1885, he was in charge of the
state relief administration and
then moved up to a federal emer-
gency relief administration job.
He was serving his third term
in Congress when he was tapped
for the agriculture job.
For the most part Anderson is
good natured fellow, but he's
pretty impatient about indirect
testimony and red tape Many
who have testified before his
committee have found this out.
Horseback riding is his favorite
outdoor sport, and he comes by
that ambling cowboy gait natur-
ally. The Andersons have 30 good
saddle horses on their New Mex
leo ranch and kept something of
stable here until feed and gaso-
line (for riding to where they
could ride) became too great d
problem.
Indoors, Anderson likes to null
over his extensive library OF
western Americana and Franklin
d. Rooseveltiana; and to play
bridge, at which he's expert.
Mrs. Anderson, like many wives
of government officials, devotcs
most of her time to keeping house
and standing in line for groceries
and meats, doing Red Cross work
/ and keeping up with the family.
The younger branch of the family
includes Nancy, who goes tC
Mount Vernon Seminary, and
Cpl. Sherburne, who is at Camp
CroWder, Mo.
