Stock Market Drops
Sharply in Active
Late Dealings
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financia. Writer

NEW YORK, July 17.--Stocks
generally had to contend with rela-
lively heavy selling pressure today
and the market averages suffered
one of their sharpest setbacks, of
the past several months.
Principal excuse for tightening or
shelving commitments was the de-
sire for protection should the Japa-
nese fold under the latest Allied
smash and thus accentuate recon-
version and other economic prob
lens. In addition, thoughts OF anti
speculation moves persisted as a
bearish influence. Growing labor
riffs were discouraging to CUSTOM
ers. Some sought neutral territory to
await the outcome of the Potsdam
parley. A handful Of favorites re-
sponded mildly to dividends and
earnings.
The retreat was extended at the
start. Bottom losses ran to better
than three points near the close.
The ticke rtape was late toward the
finish and volume expanded TO
around 100000 shares, largest in
a number of weeks.
Prominent on the slide were
United States Steel, Bethlehem,
Southern Pacific, Southern Railway,
Great Northern, Northern Pacific,
Chrysler, U. S. Rubber, Western
Union "a" United Aircraft, General
Electric, Union Carbide, Du Pont,
Johns-Manville, Sears Roebuck and

YOUTHS IS MAY VOTE;
 BILL WINS
Equal Rights Measure Also Gets House Approv-
 al Yesterday

The House of Representa- tives, af- ter several false starts, really go. down to business yesterday after noon, remaining in session until 5 o'clock to pass the first law of the session, legalizing the ballot at eighteen years.
 Also passed was House Bill IA, the much discussed equal rights bill in- troduced by Andersen of Nome.
 The 13 year vote bill, Senate Bill 1. by Senator Norman Walker, was passed without amendment 20 to 4.
 The equal rights bill passed the House on it's way to the Senate by
 vote of l9 to 5.
 Passage of these two measures brought on a flood of oratory from all corners of the House that marked the body as perhaps more deserving of the term "a peoples House." more than any other in the history of the Alaska Legislature.
 In urging passage of the voting at Is bill from the Senate, Representa- tive Oscar Gill, Anchorage garage operator, was heard from for the first time in major discussion.
 These youngsters to whom we would give this vote are the most in- telligent voters of the nation" Gill declared. Their minds are less biased than those of us oldtimerS who have been scrambling around in politics for years. wish my name began with "A" that I might be the first to give this measure my vote of approval
 v Gill received applause not only from the floor, but from the gallery where a civics class from the Juneau High School listened with evident interest, and at the invitation of the House on motion by Representative Taylor of Kodiak, high school junior, Bill Carlson, IT, was given the floor for an expression from Alaska's youth on the bill in ques- ticn
 In rolled up shirt sleeves, hands thrust nervously in his pants DOC kets, young Carlson stuck his chin out and declared; T think sgif a boyis old enough tosfight and die he is old enough to vote"
 After answering several questions from the floor, Carlson was given a rising vote of thanks by the House
 The equal rights bill, which had been heard few days ago in the committee of the whole, was advan- Ced to third reading under suspen- sicrl. of the rules and voted through without trouble.
 Representative Curtis Shattuck. who had been deprived of a last minute chance to explain his nega- tive position on the bill took the floor by House permission after the tote to make statement that turn cd into an oration which House members by their applause conceded as one of the best of the session.
 Shattuck pleacod for an under standing of his vote and of the four others opposing the passage of equal rights legislation.
 "In, all sincerity" Shattuck said, T fear this measure will but accen- tuate the very discrimination We seek to cure.''
 Representative Frank Peratrovich Klawock native who with his run ming mate, Representative Andrew Hope of Sitka had vigorously fought

for passage. spoke, for MT Hope and himself in declaring, There is no hard feelings.on the part of any of us against those who voted negative. We must all exercise our ballot to what we feel are the lest interests of the Territory. I admire MT. Shattuck for standing on his two feet and voting his convictions. There is too much of this waiting business around here to see which way to vote.'
 Another measure passed to the Senate when House members voted favcrably on a measure by Repre- sentative Johnson of Fairbanks. HE IT, providing reports of marriages be transmitted to the vital statistics offices of the Territorial Auditor.

Leaalol ked over the question oi rates of pay for legislative help, 8 complete stelemate was reached yesterday afternoon between the cenate and the House of the Alas ka Legislature on Senate Joint Reso- lution No. 5.
 The measure, which had. been pushed through the Senate earlier in the week, was amended by the Houss to up the pay scale of all employees except Chaplains. with an increase in the total appropria- ton from sl5,20o, as passed by the Senate, to S19, 150.
 The Senate, refusing to concur in the House amendments, requested that the lower chamber recede from it's position. Failure of that move led to the appointment of confer enee committees from the two chambers. but still no compromise was reached and the Senate ad- iouIned until 10 o'clock this morn- ing with the how and what of pay for clerks, stenographers, doorkeep- CTS, etc, as well as appropriations for the Legislative inspection trip to Sitka and the purchase of sup plies, still hanging fire.
 Before tangling with the House On, the help-pay measure, the Sem ate yesterday afternoon had under consideration two bills which had been continued in second reading for several days while more pressing legislation had been pushed ahead
 Senate Bill No. 5, by Senator Leo w. Rogge, to amend the. election law regarding the filing of candi- dates was thrashed around a bit in an effort to frame an adequate a. mendment, then was referred back to the Elections Committee for clar- ificatiCn.
 Senate Bill No. 8. by Senator N R. Walker, providing for the regis tration of lands, had several amend ments attached to it, then was con- tinued in second reading until next Tuesday, in order that George Fol ta, Counselor for the Interior De- pertinent, who had large hand ir it's framing, might be heard.

BLESSED EVENT

FORT ERIE, Ont.-A freight train was delayed at the International Railway bridge when a COW en- route to the United States gave birth to calf. Compassionate rail- way men halted the train while a skilled cowhand ushered in the new arrival. Explanations were neces- sary at the destination, for a count showed one more head than the customs manifest, filed prior to the departure of the train.
