INDUSTRIALS
TAKE DRUBBINC

NEW YORK, July 5.-RN Be-
lated selling hit the stock market
today and gave rails and pivotal
industrials one of their worst
drubbings of the year to date.
The list was moderately lower
from the start but dealings were
negligible until the final half hour
when the ticker tape speeded up
and leaders were thrown for losses
OF one to more than two points.
Prices generally were around the
bottom at the close. Transfers of
10000 shares compared with
100000 Tuesday.
Customers returned from the
July fourth holiday to find margin
requirements boosted to rs per
cent. This had been pretty well
forecast and, as the market has
largely been on cash basis,
would have occasioned no particu-
lar excitement. The idea that the
move was only the first of num-
Der Of steps contemplated to stem
speculation, however, inspired the
trimming of accounts all along the
line. Today's British election also
served as a cautionary influence.
The Associated Press 6O-stock
average was off full point at 65.6,
widest dip since June % and the
fourth largest of 1945. Of 899 issues
registering, $50 were down, 127 up
and 142 unchanged.
Prominent on the retreat were
Santa Fe, N. Y. Central, Southern
Pacific, reat Northern, Baltimore
and Ohio, U. S. Steel, Bethlehem,
Chrysler, Western Union ga, ,
Electric Power and Light, Aneri-
can Water Works, U. S. Rubber,
International Harvester, Cater
pillar tractor, Boeing, Pan Ameri-
can Always, Eastern Air Lines,
International Telephone, Du Pont,
Johns-Manville, Eastman Kodak,
Union Carbide and Philip Morris.
Oils, coppers and mail orders
were narrow. Modest advances
were held by American Telephone
and Sears RoebucK.
Railway bonds dropped with
stocks. At Chicago rye fell 7-8 to
three cents a bushel and wheat
was off IL to up 3-4. Cotton i'm
proved 40 to 80 cents a bale.
In the curb slipping tendencies
were displayed by Cities Service
Electric Bond and Share, St. Regis
Paper and American Republics
Turnover here amounted to $50, OOC
shares versus 5000 in the pre-
ceding full session.

To be singer"
Linda's wish came true a week
ago. Matt Windsor heard her sing
and signed her UP as vocalist for
the Windsor Room. The Spectator
went around on opening night to
hear Linda's professional debut but
came away very disappointed OF
course not in Linda's voice. Ger
tainly not in Linda.
You see poor Linda didn't even
get TO sing on opening night. For
at the last minute she decided to
give her white satin evening dress
a once over with the iron and
scorched it.
Il guess was just too excited"
she smiled.

hire them away.
"Of course, Hope and Benny can
afford to have four or five working
for them at time" Youngman ex-
planned. II can't"
What they'll do is have each fell
low submit script and then pick
the best gags from each script.
There's writer with Hope right
now who gets $4,000" Kenny said.
"a few years ago he was writing for
me at $25 a week. Or take the tai
ented press agent ! used to have to
correct my jokes" he said. Sort
of a side line. At the moment hes
doing all right for himself as script
writer on Duffey's Tavern. And
that's the way 1t goes" Kenny
sighed
why, I've even been offered a
Job as script writer myself" Kenny
laughed. They wanted me to come
out to Hollywood and gag up scripts.
Like trying to take Youngman away
from Youngman," he smiled.
What with radio and night club
work, Kenny doesn't think he'll con-
slider leaYing himself.
All this talk about script writers
being such a rare and precious
commodity how did one 60 about
becoming a script writer anyway?
Lots of ways, Kenny assured us.
i've come to the conclusion" the
comedian explained. that at par
ties, too many people tell too many
people they've missed their calling
as a script writer Some Of them
end up by coming to me and I
simply tell them to submit a script"
Suddenly Kenny stopped He
looked almost pensive Immediately
the Spectator knew what he was
thinking
Not bothering to assure Kenny
that we had no script concealed in
cur hip pocket, we just thanked him
for a swell evening.
Henry looked relieved.
If you ever had your picture
snapped by Linda Firpo you would
remember it. She's dark and well,
just take our word for it.
Anyway while Linda was taking
pictures at places around town like
the Club 400 and the Lotus she was
