And drained the cup of bitter grief,
The day l saw him die.
One dear to me is gone.

Rails and IndustriaIs
Lead Fresh Retreat
In Stock Market
BY VICTOR EUBANK.
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The good
war news again made for q bad
stock market today and, while scat
tered specialties exhibited a certain
amount of strength, leading rails and
industrials dropped to or more
points.
The sweep Of the Russians on the
eastern front and impressive sue
cesses of the Allies In the west con-
tinued to sober speculative and in
vestment contingents. Possibility Of
a Nazi collapse in the near future,
thus spotliehting numerous recon-
version pt,blems at home, conse-
quently inspired additional trim
ming Of accounts.
Imitation psychology would not
down, however, and this still pro-
vided an antiselling argument. Talk
OF stock splitups and other special
factors buoyed individual issues.
The direction was downward after
a slightly uneven opening. There
were subsequent comebacks but
activity waned and losers were
widespread near the close. Trans
fers were around 100000 shares.
Crucible Steel was an isolated up
swinger at new 1944-45 peak, along
with American Ice. White Sewing
Machine and General Electric were
resistant. In the reatreating column
were Southern Pacific, Southern
Railway, Santa Fe, Chicago g.
Northwestern common and pre-
ferred, Anaconda, Dupont, Chrys-

Draftee Disorders
Revealed in Canada
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Ontario, Jan. 19.-More
than 100 home defense draftees
scaled 6-foot fence at Queens
Park barracks here December 81
afoer trouble of an unstated nature,
1t was reported last night.
Hundreds more of their COM
rades-possibly as many as 600
didn't report back from leave and
most of both groups are still at
large.
News of the situation, on which
military authorities here and at Of
tawa refused to comment, was with
held from publication until last
night after a censorship directive to
all Canadian newspapers. Censors
withheld permission to publish the
text of the directive on the grounds
that it contained a confidential
statement from the Department of
National Defense.
The disappearance of the soldiers
followed three days of minor dis
order at the barracks and several in
cidentS In downtown London. At
the barracks the men were reported
to have destroyed property valued
roughly at 500.
In the downtown area they
marched through the streets in noisy
boisterous groups. Fights were re-
ported.
City police, confirming stories of
disorders. said no arrests had been
made The men were members of
the oxford Rifles and the Dufferin
and Haldimand Rifles.

Senator'S Bring Data
On Iran Oil Inquiry
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A Senate War Investigating Sub
committee back from overseas was
said today to have brought home an
extensive report on the whole Oil
situation in the Mediterranean area.
The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Tunnel,
Democrat, of Delaware and Burton,
Republican, of Ohio-said they
could not appropriately disclose
them except to the full committee,
headed by Senator Mead, Democrat,
of New York.
However, Senator Tunnel told re-
porters they visited oil refineries and
held hearings in producing Iran.
They also visited American military
and civilian installations in Ber-
muda, the Azores, Morocco, Algeria,
Tunisia, Sicily, Italy, Libya, Egypt,
Palestine and Iran. Eighteen hear
ings were held during the 22-day
trip.
The special mission was to inves-
tigate the disposal of surplus prop
critics in North Africa and the Mid
die East. Senator Tunnel ex-
planned that area was selected be-
cause it was one of the first ito be
left behind in the advance of COM
bat operations and thus one of the
first areas in which problems of dis
posal would become apparent"
One of the questions they studied
is understood to be the relation be-
tween disposal of surplus wal. good.
and prospective postwar business fol
American manufacturers. Involved
in that is the problem of how thoss
countries can buy American postwa,
products if dollars accumulated dur.
ing the war are largely spent or
surplus war goods.

Flavor in Wafer Here
Due 10 Cold and Chlorine

If the water seems to have a curl
Gus flavor these days, don't worry
about tits safe. That's why it
tastes that way.
What you taste is chlorine, and
the reason you taste it little more
than usual these days is the cold,
according to E. A. Schmitt, head
engineer for the Washington Aoue-
duct. Mr.. Schmitt pointed out that
chlorine may remain in a residual
state longer when the weather is
cold, thus retaining its distinctive
flavor.
People close to the points where
the chlorine is applied. he said,
probably notice 1t more than other
residents of the District. The solu-
ton is added to the water at the
Dalecarlia pumping station on Mac
Arthur boulevard near the District
line and at the Mcmillan plant, First
and Douglas streets NV.
Mr.. Schmitt said it might be pos
sible to change the dose" a little,
but that it would have to be done
carefully to safeguard the city's
health. The best way, he said. was
simply to wait until it got little
warmer.
