dition to the two boats named
above, a third-the Shirley

ager o. J. S. Ellingson announced
today.
'The situation has reached a

Il Na1s Begin DtaIif
March This Evening, With
First Hanging Set At 6:Ol
ALL, EXCEPT ONE ATHE-
IsT, DEVOTED MOST
OF DAY TO READING
BIBLE
nv Assoclntea Prea.l

NUREMBERG. Oct. 15.-Unof-
ficially, the first of the IL Nazis
to be hanged for committing war
crimes will go to the gallows at
1901 tomorrow morning. or 6:0l
this evening, Eastern Standard
time.
No official announcement has
been made about the hangings,
though the report that they will
begin one minute after midnight
tonight was not denied by au-
thorities.
The dependents have not yet
been told when they will 60 to
the gallows, but somehow they
apparently realized, since early
morning, that this was their last
day on earth. All of them, except
Alfred Rosenberg, the atheist,
discarded all their books this
morning except the Bible, which
they have required too repeated
ly during the day.
Goering's talk, since. he first
addressed a guard today, has
been chiefly about religion. He
said he would read the Bible the
greater part of the day, as eV-
erywhere he turned he found
something to strengthen his reso-
luton to die courageously.
Shortly before noon, he said,
Il have no fear. / will maintain
my dignity to the end"
Despite what he and other de-
PENDANTS said, all of them, except
Field Marshal Keitel, appeared
to be jittery. Keitel seemed to be
calm and collected, as he had been
throughout the trial and also ON
the day when he heard he had
been condemned to die.
Inside the jail, soldiers are
armed with tommyguns, and out
side a full division is armed 10
be ready to crush any attempt
to delay the hangingS.

Stocks Drift Lower
In Week as Selling
Hits Thin Market

AssoeIoted Press Finoneiol Writer
NEW YORK, June 8.-After a
week of frregularly lower trends, the
stock market steadied selectively in
the concluding session Friday al
though many leaders continued the
downward drift.
Some buying cropped up on the
idea that recent declines had bet
tered the glarket's technical health
Earnings, dividends, imitation psy-
chology and actual or potential
splitups bolstered special issues.
Throughout the short week-prin-

AS they will be on other summer
Saturdays-the cloudy labor situa-
ton received most of the blame for
such selling as appeared.
Dealings Sluggish.
From Monday on dealings were
relatively sluggish and volumes
would have been exceptionally
meager had it not been for the
liveliness of low-quoted utilities
which remained popular on the idea
of enhanced breakup values for
these issues in addition to mounting
profits due partly to elimination of
excess profits taxes. The best turn
overs of the week were 1,210,OO0
shares on Monday and Tuesday.
The total dropped to $4,000 Thurs
day, a low since May 90
The Associated Press 60-stock av-
erage was off IL points at 8l1 on
the week. 1t recovered L Friday,
FIRST advance since May 80.
The market still was unusually

On the other hand, American Tele-
phone, American Water Works and

bull market highs.

Grating losses reported by most
roads, turned upward Thursday as

though, dropped points on an
