Are landlords people? Well.

the majority aren't.

young, IL they ever were. I've

THE boys who die fighting
this war were kids once upon "A
time and so were these land
lords. What did their mothers
do with them? often wonder.
"The only places available for
families with kids are the
broken down houses not fit TO
live in or else they charge un-
heard OF prices. The OPA
should do something about this.
What Is going 10 happen to the
next generation if parents can't
find a place to live? 1t seems
the only solution to the problem
is 10 stop having children!"

Selected Stocks Up,
But Many Leaders
Lack Support
By VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, July 3.-Specialized
strength was exhibited by today's
stock market although many leaders
refused TO get going and dealings
were among the slowest of the past
several months.
One reason for the lethargy was
that about $500 telephones in the
financial sector were out of COM
mission due to cable break,
Thoughts of Washington moves to
restrain markets persisted as cau-
tionary factor. Also. 1t was sug-
gested, outcome of the British elec-
tions might bring trend repercus-
sions. Earnings, dividends and pres
sure of idle cash again provided
bullish incentives.
Rails we're propped to certain
extent by substantial Jump In net
income for May over the 1914 Pc
riod. The postwar picture and re-
capitalization plans buoyed several
utility preferreds.
The direction was a bit cloudy
from the start and mild irregularity
ruled mead the close. Transfers
were in the neighborhood of 900, 900
shares compared with the pre-July
Fourth turnover last year of 81, ,562,-
400.
Highs for l945 or longer were
registered for issues of American &
Foreign Power, American Power &
Light and Western Pacific. Ahead
most of the day were Santa Fe
Northern Pacific, American Tele-
| phone, American Water Works
! Texas Co., Bethlehem, Sears Roe
buck and American Smelling Losers
at intervals were General Motors,

j. c. Penney. Du Pont, Consolidated
Edison and Goodyear.
Bonds were narrowly uneven.
