NEW YORK, May 29.-Scattered
stocks hit new bull market highs
today while many leaders were cut
down by more insistent profit taking.
Belief in Wall Street that settle
ment of the coal strike would be
announced momentarily brought
considerable selling on the idea that
good news may have been discounted
by the recent climb to 15-year aver
age peaks The list, on the whole,
had not suffered loss in seven
consecutive sessions. Accounts also
were trimmed for protection over the
holiday. Buoying factors still were
seen in earnings, dividends and split
up gossip.
Prices began to waver here and
there before midday and, near the
close, irregularity was the rule. A
few favorites. including Studebaker
and Chrysler, turned strong at the
last. Dealings. fast in the morning
slowed later, but transfers for the
full proceedings were in the vicinity
of 1000, 900 shares. Sizable blocks of
low-quoted utilities helped the

Meeting Is Called
Bv Edword G. Stone


Washington bank officials are Civ
ing very careful consideration to
the adviSability of closing the banks
on Saturdays now that Federal en-
ployes are permanently on a five
day week.
Introduction of bill in Congress
by Representative Green of Penn
sylvania, which would make every
Saturday a legal holiday for WASH
ington banks. has started a lively
discussion and resulted in the call
for a special meeting of the District
Bankers Association.
Saturday closing is gaining ground
among the banks in New York and
New Jersey. Should the plan be
adopted here, bankers say it should
include Saturdays the around
and not be limited to the summer
months.
A brief survey today indicated
that a majority of the city's bank
officials are favorable to Saturday
closing if such step does not i'm
pair service to the public. Bank
ers suggest that by keeping open
late on Friday afternoons the large
amount of present Saturday busi-
ness could be transacted at that
time
The five-day week has spread in
other lines until it is difficult for
the banks to attract new employees,
this being one of the most i'm
portant angles demanding consid-
Grafton, officials pointed out.
Washington Gas Net Rises.
Net income of the Washington
Gas Light Co for April totaled
s142,162, an increase of s45,23l over
April, 1945, the report to the Public
Utilities Commission revealed. The
gain was caused largely by cooler
weather this year. officials said.
Fo5' the first four months of 1916
net income amounted to 1889 397. a
gain of $27,6l3 over the like 1945
period
April gas sales totaled l,65O.826
mcf,. compared with 1,4l0884 a
year ago. Sales in the District
amounted to l.262.744 mcf. against
1.093,24S in April. l945 Meters in
service in the District at the end
of April totaled 166.882 compared
with l64,926 a year ago.

Frank H. Aston, Jr., national ly known Providence artist, has consented to represent Providence
 in the art show to be sponsored
 by the National Urban League
 during its national conference to
 be held in St. Louis, Mo-, Sept.
 25 through Sept. 29. Art critics
 and enthusiasts are eagerly
 awaiting this show, which is gra- dually taking on the aspect of an important milestone in Negro and contemporary art. Aston will enter an oil painting entitled Monday Morning In March, !" which was awarded the medal at the 55th annual show of the Washington Society of Artists at the Corcoran Gallery.
 The young, 31-year-old artist, returned to Washington last Sun day evening with his wife, the former Barbara Hall of this city, and his two children, Frank and Linda WelIes Aston. The artist had completed a two week vaca- ton in Rhode Island and Cape Cod. In Providence he stayed with his parents-in-law, MT. and Mrs. Walter Hall, 1s2 Lippitt St. and visited his father, Frank H. Sr., local post office clerk.
 While vacationing in New Eng land, Aston completed seven paintings-three of Cape God scenes, one each of the Provi- dence waterfront, s e n t or Greens mansion and a water color of Exchange Place. One other painting the versatile art st has already sold shortly after ts completion.
 Alston recently won first prize at the Ninth Annual Outdoor Art Fair in Washington, D. c.
