Berlin Black Market
Still Boosts Yanks'
Send Home Funds
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Sept. 20.-American sol.
diers sent home more money ir
August than they drew from the
pay window, despite official action
to put brakes on Berlin's booming
black market which centers chiefly
on the sale of wrist watches to
Russians.
The August figures published yes
terday from the Berlin district f.
nance Office showed that 3,O44 ,224
was paid occupation troops who in
vested $3,153,517 in money orders
personal transfer accounts, War
Bonds and soldiers deposits.
The latter total was slightly less
than the total eligible to be sent
home and was less by several hun
dred thousand dollars than soldiers
would have sent home if the Army
had not clamped down restrictions
prohibiting them from transmitting
more than ITO per cent of the cash
they drew.
The ITO per cent regulation was
issued late in August after the
Americans had converted $4,000 ,OOO
worth of Allied-issued marks into
money orders and the like.
Although the official edict did
place a limit on the amount of
money that could be converted into
dollars, it did not have much effect
on business in the Tiergarten by
which American and Russian troops
do their transactions in sign Ian
guage. Prices are somewhat lower
than before. but one still can dis
pose of $40 watch for 5000 or $500,
depending on whether the watch
has a second hand and luminous
dial
AS result of the Army's action,

marks are accommodating by the
thousands In the pockets of the GIs.
It is nothing for a jeep driver or
clerk to fash a bankroll which. If
it were greenbacks, would be worth
from IS 1000 to $4,000.
Some troops are holding onto their
rolls, hopeful that some day they
can convert the marks into cash.
Others are unloading at a price
causing a ripple of imitation, espe-
cially where a bottle of whisky is
available. American bourbon and
rye brings $50 to 500 bottle and
Scotch, $50 to $50.

Stock Market Drifts
Moderately Lower
I'm Dull Session
-
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
A connt~ taA MAKE mi, : x.nt.l yxy,;y

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Stocks gen.
orally resumed the downward drift
in today's market although resist
ance cropped up here and there and
dealings again were among the
slowest since last August.
Steels, motors, rails, aircrafts and
industrial blue chips" dipped frac-
tions to 2 or more points at the
worst. The ticker tape, though
loafed from the opening on and ex-
IRENE declines were reduced here
and there near the fourth hour.
Numerous customers got an early
start on their lengthy holiday and
this accounted for much Of the days
apathy. Accounts were trimmed be-
cause of the belief that the correc-
ton of the four-year upswing could
be extended. Northumberland
stalemates and further year-end tax
adjustments inspired some bearish-
ness. Dividends, earnings, split
ups and hopes for large-scale pros
perity In 1916 served as bolstering
factors.
In arrears the greater part of the
proceedings were United States
Steel, Youngstown Sheet, Chrysler
General Motors, Santa Fe, South
ern Railway, Union Pacific, Mont
gomery Ward, Douglas Aircraft
Boeing, Du Pont, Eastman Kodak
Johns-Manville, American Tele-
phone, General American Investors
Anaconda and Kennecott. Ahead at
intervals were J. I. Case, Shamrock
OIL, Roam Antelope, Cerro de Pasco
and Allied Chemical.
Bonds were narrow.

sequently to the hungry eyes Of
its competitors.
THE detailed information Oh
tanned from the books Of an en-
ployer should not be made public"
Mr.. Truman said. Such q dis
closure would place the employer at
disadvantage with respect to his
competitors. But the fact-finding
board should unquestionably have
the right to examine the employers
books where it deems it necessary in
order to make up its own mind as to
whether a demand for an increase
Is justified, and to make public all
findings based on such information
that 1t deems relevant to the con-
troversy"
: Mr.. Merritt said that GIN would
await the decision Of Mr. Garrison
and his two board members as to
how far they deem it necessary TO
go in this case" before revealing its
next move.
At the Capitol, Senators Bsfl,
Republican, of Minnesota and
Ellender, Democrat, of Louisiana
voiced belief that the President
lacks authority to compel General
Motors to show its books to a fact
finding board.

Truman Orders Probe
OF Misuse Of Patents

President Truman today directed
an Investigation by the Commerce
Department to determine IL patents
are being "misused to support un-
lawful monepelies" that violate the
antitrust laws. ~
In: a letter to Secretary Wallace
the President asked that he under
take a*study IN conjunction with the
Attorney General and other govern
mental agencies and submit recon-
mendations to be used as the basis
for iegfsla ton.
The Presidents Letter said, in part:
Il believe the Congress would well
come such assistance as the execu-
tive branch Of the Government
might be able to give In presenting
the results of a full and objective
study Of the operation and effective
ness Of the patent laws and their
relation to the purposes of the anti
trust laws and to the postwar econ
omy. together with SPECIFIC pro-
posals for such legislation as may
seem to. be appropriate. Thus far
the several departments of the Gov
ernment have made no concerted
effort to- formulate policy upon
this subject.
will you please undertake such
study and submit to me your re-
port and recommendations respect
ing the legislation proposals you
think I should lay before the Con-
gress. In so doing will you please
consult with the Attorney General
the director of Economic Stabiliza-
ton, the director of the once OF
Scientific Research and Develop
