BONDS DROP AGAIN
Some Carriers Tumble As
Much As 6 Points; Sales
Exceed Last Friday

NEW YORK, Sept. 9-R-U. S.
government bonds and railroad
liens both sank into lower ground
in today's market.
Carrier obligations tumbled frac-
lions to an extreme Of 6 points. The
drop was as sever as last Tues
days, which was the fastest in
about 2 IL years.
Long-term federal issues broke
an outside of round IL point, put
ting prices within a shade of the
years lowest.
Bond dealers again linked the
losses in both corporate and gov
eminent loans to the fresh sinking
spell in stock prices, offerings
came too fast for the market to
absorb, they said, and prices de-
clined accordingly.
The Victory Loan December z
lbs of '67-'72 lost around IL point
to close at 101 1882 bid. Bottom
for the year, established in January
when. the issue was climbing after
issuance in November. was about
1o1 1882. In April this year the
2 1-2's hit a record high of 106 IL.
Government dealers reported the
bulk Of the selling, which was
never very large, came from in
dividual holders who were appa-
rently intent On selling to main
tain a highly liquid position in the
face of the break in stocks.
Corpo-ates marked down, many
to new lows for the year or more,
included Baltimore & Ohio CONVEX
tlbles at SO IL, Alton IS at Al,
st. Paul convertibles at So IL,
Northwestern 4 lbs at rs, Rock
Island As of '88 at So and CONVEX
tibles at 81 IL, Lehigh Valley
stamped As at al IA, Missouri
Pacific general As at 20. N. Y.
Central "a" 4 1-2's at 80 SO, New
Haven As of ST at 81, Frisco "a"
As at 43, and Seaboard incomes
at 81 ID.
Some higher priced corpo-ates
kept their balance fairly well.
Foreign dollar loans, with few
exceptions, declined fractions to
around 2 points.
Sales Of Sc. 900, 600 compared with
S., 1853, 500 Friday.

stock market today suffered an
other one of its sharpest slumps
for 16 years as heavy selling top
pied leaders l to better than 10
points to a new average low since
August, 1945.
A rush of offerings flooded the
exchange floor in the first hour
putting the high speed ticker tape
behind several minutes for a
lengthy interval. The pace then
slowed but quickened again in the
final period. Extreme setbacks
were shaded here and there at the
close although numerous pivotals
finished at the days bottom. Trans
fers of 1880, 900 shares compared
with 1,67O, 900 Friday and we-e
among the best of 1916.
Reasons for the fresh relapse
again varied. Among these, brokers
said, was the growing belief in Wall
street that last weeks relapse may
have been the signal for a bear
market. Some analysts said that
mounting labor disputes, headed by
the maritime strike, inspired fu-th-
er liquidation. Others thought that
the still cloudy international pict-
ure was a factor. A little short
covering and bargain hunter bid
ding failed to stem the tide.

a backlog of veterans priority GER
tificates that had piled up at a re-
cent period, Mr.. Creedon said he
had endeavored to speed up the nro-
eessing by asking for more space
and help. He said he had brought
this to the attention of superior
WAA officials several times" but
that I'VE just couldn't get the space
and personnel"
The witness, under a grilling by
Mr.. Wise, said the same sort of a
backlog" had not developed in the
II other divisions which had been
under his immediate supervision be-
tween March 25 and July Is, but
said he had not transferred employees
from them to the electronic's ma
terials division.
Mr.. Wise asked Mr. Creedon why
WAA paid 5 per cent commission
to agents on sales to Government
agencies, and the witnes said he die
not know that had been the arrange
ment until now" He said he
thought such commissions should
not" be granted.
Earlier, Mr. Creedon said that
when he went to WAA as a deputy
administrator last March, he found
a ready made" staff in the Elec-
tronics Division. Asked why he had
placed heavy reliance on his sub
ordinates, Mr.. Creedon said he was
very favorably impressed" with the
stated background, experience and
willingness of the staff to handle the
difficult" problems.
No Better Solution Seen.
Mr.. Wise pressed for answers as
to why the agency system had been
continued when reports were show
ing that relatively small amounts
of radio, radar and telephone equip
ment were actually being sold. Mr..
Creedon said he asked his sub
ordinate chiefs for reports and that
they had recommended the agency
system be continued for at least 80
days. He said he was told sales were
increasing rapidly and that costs
Of the agency sales system were
declining fast"
Lacking some definite solution
