Quiet Stock Recovery
Led by Stee|s, Motors,
Rails and Utilities
By Victor Eubonk
Associoted Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, May 16.-Steels,
motors, rails, utilities and assorted
special issues today led the stock
market on quiet recovery shift.
The proposal by President Tru-
man of arbitration in the coal con-
troversy caused the reinstatement
of accounts here and there. Bidding
also was based on individual situa-
tions such as earnings, dividends
and splitups. The threatened rail-
way strike still served as a caution
ary factor, however, and purchasing
was more or less restrained.
Low-quoted power issues account
ed for most of the volume Dealings
generally reverted to sluggishness
after the opening. While losers
were plentiful, advances of fractions
to 2 points or so predominated near
the close. Some thin" stocks ex-
perienced wider swings. Transfers
were in the vicinity of 100000
shares.
Utilities such as Columbia Gas,
Laclede Gas and General Public
Utilities were lively performers, re-
flecting actual and prospective
earnings. The usual dividend by
Southern Pacific propped this stock
and other carriers. Hiram Walker
jumped number of points on fur
ther splitup talk. Publicker Indus
tries got back most of yesterdays
sharp drop. United States Lines
responded to two dividends on the
common, the first in several years.
A boosted disbursement bolstered
James Talcott common.
In front were United States Steel,
Bethlehem, Republic Steel, General
Motors, Chrysler, Santa Fe, South
ern Railway, Great Northern
United States Rubber, Woolworth,
United Aircraft, Texas Gulf Pro-
ducing, International Nickel. Dis
tillerS Corp, National Distillers,
American Woolen, Texas Co. and
Du Pont.

District Housewives
Cooperate in Saving
Scarce. Grain and Oils

The Washington Food Conserva-
ton Committee said today an in
formal poll of housewives show the
majority is cooperating in the pro-
gram for cutting down consumption
of wheat and edible oils needed for
world famine relief.
At the same time, District Pur-
chasing Officer Roland M. Brennan
reported 1900 pounds of wheat have
been saved during the first two
weeks in May at six welfare insti-
tutions.
At Gallinger Hospital, where the
city has 2,192 consumers, Mr.. Bren-
nan said, 1000 one pound loaves of
bread have been saved a week for
the last six weeks. Mr.. Brennan
added that 200 loaves of bread were
being saved weekly at the Home for
the Aged and Infirm at Blue Plains,
where there are 478 consumers
Cereal consumption has also been
curtailed about one-third
Corn Cereals Substituted.
Corn cereals are being substituted
for wheat cereals at Glenn Dale
Tuberculosis Sanatorium and only
a single slice of bread is being
served each consumer. However
Mr.. Brennan explained, the patients
can obtain additional bread by ask
ing, since food is part of the treat
ment.
For disciplinary reasons it was
felt unWise to cut down on the bread
consumption at Lorton Reforrna-
tory, where a good deal of manual
labor is performed. Mr.. Brennan
felt, however, that the prisoners
must be voluntarily cutting down.
since some bread is daily left over
to be served again the next day.
The committee poll was conducted
by volunteers from B'nai Birth
Women's Auxiliary and the Red
Cross.
See Need for Saving.
A spokesman for the committee
observed that the majority o1
housewives with whom they have
spoken are keenly aware of the ne
cessity for aiding the starving peo.
pie throughout the world with &
definite program on our part"
Not only are housewives aware O.
the need, but they are following ur
with definite home savings of wheat
products and fats and oils, volun.
teerS said.
Raymond F. Garrity, committee
chairman, commented:
Without their help We would no,
be able to do as much as we plar
to do. We need the help of every
one in this program. But the house.
wife is most important-after all
she is the one who is purchasing
and serving the food"

mutton, hides and wool. In 1888,
the Taylor Grating Act became the
law. Under this act, Grazing
Service was set up to restore and
maintain the range. But now,
thanks principally to Senator Nc
Carran of Nevada, we have again
reached the point where the issue
must be faced whether the little
rancher is to be driven out and the
range once more turned over to the
greedy and arrogant cattle b1rons.
Fights U. S. Range Program.
For years now. Senator McCarran
has done everything possible to de-
feat the sound program of the Gov
ernment with respect to the range.
Perhaps he feels that he must do
something in return for the gen.
erous campaign contributions made
by the cattle interests. He has
wanted to give to private individ-
uals what. in effect, would be fee
simple title to public property.
The Congress which recently ad-
1ourned saw two determined at
tempts by the congressional captives
of the cattle barons to extend and
solidify their big holdings. One
resulted in the virtual destruction
Of the Grazing Service. At the in
stance OF Senator McCarran, and
with the aid of Representative Jed
johnson, Democrat, Of Oklahoma,
the Congress cut the funds available
for the Grazing Service about go
per cent. Thus the Grazing Service
will no longer have the necessary
manpower to police the range and
so prevent abuses such as overgraz-
ing, which made much of the public

Range May Be Ruined.
Obviously. in the long run, over
grazing the range will result in it's
virtual destruction and the end of
any profits at all for the cattlemen.
But this is not what they have in
mind. For the next two or three
years, while the prices of cattle are
high, they figure that the more
cattle that they fatten on the public
domain, the greater their profits
Later, when the prices Of cattle
drop. and, incidentally, when the
range has been again depleted, these
same cattlemen will come crying to
the Government for aid in restoring
the range which they have SO cal
lously and so selfishly depleted.
