Commitments Revived
As SeIective Sales
Buoy Short Session
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-Buying
support returned to the stock market
today and enabled selected rails,
industrials and utilities to retrieve a
portion of Fridays losses.
The short session opened with
widespread declines running to a
point or more in fairly active deal
ings. Prices then stiffened here and
there. Trends generally turned up
ward in the final quarter hour and,
while losers were plentiful at the
close, advances had the best of the
argument. Transfers of 10000 COM
pared with 10000 in the preceding
brief stretch two weeks ago.
The tumble of yesterday still was
viewed largely as a technical cor
rection of the lengthy swing and
investment demand exhibited scant
signs of abating Commitments were
reinstated in many cases on this
idea.
The Associated Press 60-stock
composite was up Q of a point at
724 on the day but for the week
showed a net reaction of as much,
first Slipup since the period ending
September Is. OF 100 issues register
ing, 1854 were up and 253 down.
Industrial Rayon was an isolated
strong spot, sprinting AIS points to
565a, new high. Commonwealth &
Southern remained the fastest
mover, as it was during the week,
adding Is at 2 while the companys
preferred was up 1&. Ahead were
United States Steel, Bethlehem,
Santa Fe, Northern Pacific, Amer
lean Telephone. American Water
Works, Public Service of N. j.,
Douglas Aircraft, Radio Corp, Inter
national Telephone, Standard Oil
IN j. and Kennecott.
On the offSide were Montgomery
Ward, Southern Pacific, Southern
Railway, American Smelling, Union
Carbide, Woolworth and American
Can.
Bonds and commodities Steadied.
Improved in the curb were Brown
Forman DistillerS, Raytheon, Tech
nicolor and Creole Petroleum. Ven-
ezuelan Petroleum was unchanged
and Pantepec slipped following the
revolt in Venezuela. Turnover here
aggregated $4,000 shares versus
100000 in the previous two-hour
proceedings.
Throughout the week there was
little alteration in bullish factors.
The feeling, however, that the mar
ket had done a lot of discounting
and that a technical reversal was
overdue brought certain amount of
selling.

COURT BAN OF.
STRANGE FRUIT
PLEASES BILB0

WASHINGTON. ID. C.-Senator
Theodore G.. The Nam Bilbo.
Democrat of Mississippi. is pleased
with the decision of the Massa-
chusetts Supreme judicial cour,
UNFOLDING The conviction II a Cam
bridge tMassD book store proprl-
etor for selling Strange Fruit"
the tragic novel Of Illicit love Of
white man and a colored woman
in the deep South.
The Massachusetts, court found
the book to be obscene. indie
cent and impure. A dissenting
opinion by Justice Henry T.
Luminous asserted that while the
majority opinion seemed to con-
strue the statute rightly. he did
not believe the evidence war
ranted a finding Of guilty.
SIX OTHER justices upheld the
action of Judge Edward y. Hanify.
who found Abraham A. Eisenstadt
guilty of possessing an obscene
book with intent TO sell and selling
an obscene book. He was fined
500 on each Of the two counts on
Dec. T. His sale Of the book was
made for a test case.
Congratulatlng the Massachu-
sets court, Bilbo referred to the
author, Miss Lillian Smith. as that
strange-minded lady of the deep
South" He said:
1T is regrettable that hundreds
Of thousands and perhaps millions
Of the pure-minded white people
of America-men. women. boys
and girls-have already been pol
luted and corrupted by the reading
Of this dirty and obscene book,
which Is an indictment against the
South. gross Misrepresentation
Of facts, and a puny attempt 10
integrate the American Negro into
the social life of the white people
THE only other book which
is worse is BLACK Boy" by Rich
ard Wright, a Negro who is liv-
ing in New York with a white
wife.
"OF COURSE. il is a we'll known
fact that Miss Lillian Smith, the
author of Strange Fruit" is the
idol-the pin-up girl--of every Ne
gro organization IN the United
States that is seeking social equal
ity with the white race. With a
few exceptions the right-minded
and decent-minded white people
OF America who have any regard
for the integrity of the blood of
the white race have absolutely no
respect for her.
What Bilbo does not realize is
that great many colored people
did not relish the portrayal of an
intelligent colored girl of good
family having a clandestine rela-
tionship with the son of a decadent
white family.

1T WAS pointed out TO Gen.
Bradley that at present there are
approximately 5000 Negroes en-
-loyed in the Veterans Administra-
ton but that about 500 of them
are employed as janitors and mes
Sengers: that there are only about
300 in clerical positions and they
are segregated in two sub-baSe-
ments Of the Veterans Administra-
ton building. II was also pointed
out that there are only three per-
sons above the clerical rank and
these serve as investigators and
adiudicators.

Costs Industry AS Times As Much Production
 As All Strikes

Just about every daily newspa- per in the nation has been ''rais- ing Ned'' lately about strikes and clamoring for oppressive legisla- tion. Not one, however, has shown any concern over a far greater loss to production caused by another factor-namely illness and injury on the job, says Ruben Levin in ''LabOr."
 Shocking figures on the extent of that toll are contained in a booklet entitled, For the Peoples Health, , prepared by the Physicians Forum, an organization of progressive medi- cal men working for enactment of the Wagner-Murray-Din bill for health insurance and expanded social security. A special edition of the pamphlet has just been published by the A. F. of L.
 The report disclOses that Ordi- nary ailments such as the common cold and accidents resulted in an estimated loss of 600, ,OOO, ,OOO man. days in 1943-nearly 45 times as much as the 13,5OO,OOO mandays lost in strikes during that year.
 DWARFS STRIKE LOSS
 This year the toll from work stop pages may reach 20,000,000 man-days but that's still less than one-ha1f of per cent of the time put in by the nations 50,O00,000 workers, and only ond-thirtieth of the comparable loss from illness and injury, most of which, as stressed by the Physicians Forum, is preventab1e.
 If every man and woman who works got complete medical and hospital care under system of health insurance, much of such lost time could be saved" the Forum said.
 However, you don't find news papers championing health insur- ance legislation to end such loss -On the contrary, most of them are opposing it.

Conn. Workers Cool To Truman's Pla1
Wage Board For Building Trades Will Continue
Bad News Again-Conn. Council Prophesied It
 Would Happen

The suspicion of the officers of the Connecticut State Building and Construction Trades Council that the Wage Adjustment Board, twice scheduled to be abolished, will be continued in one form or another, was confirmed this week.
 Confirmation came from Chairman E. Robert Livernash of the New Eng land War Labor Board. While ad- nitting that the building and con- struction industry is the only indus try whose wages are still subject to the Stabilization Act Livernash said that the strict enforcement of wage controls would be continued in this field. Enforcement activities in the building industry will continue to be carried out by a new Wage Stabiliza- ton Unit being set up in Washington, and in the various regional WLB offices. An announcement concerning the makeup and functions of the new unit in Boston will be made very soon.
 COLLETT TOO ACTIVE!
 In Washington, Judge John C. Col tSll, SEdDlllZdllOn duInlIuSlIdLOT, an nounced that the Wage Stabilization Unit of the WLB had assured the Wage Adjustment Board of strict en- forcement of WLB regulations after conferences of the agencies in his office.
 The executive board of the Con- necticut State Building & Construc- ton Trades Council has repeatedly protested this discrimination against building mechanics, and points out that the great shortage of housing is being aggravated by the fact that uncertainties in the building field wage scales are caus- ing a shortage of much needed labor.
 The building trades have long history of successful negotiations with management, and could adjust differ ences with but little difficulty if con- trols were lifted.
 A full discussion of this problem :, was scheduled to be held at the monthly meeting of the executive board of the State Council in New Haven on Wednesday, Dec. 5.
