SideIiqhts on Suffrage Vote

At 9:1o am. today Commissioner
John Russell Young walked into the
classroom at Force School, where SO
years ago he entered the first grade,
and cast his vote in the plebiscite.
He was accompanied by Mrs, Young
But Engineer Commissioner Cor
don r. Young went directly to his
Office. To reporters he explained
he spent his Army career staying
away from politics and did not IN
tend to vote in the referendum.
A taxicab driver, Edward L. Bud7
dington, Ills B street NE. a ma.
tive of Washington, was surprised
to learn today that he could vote;
When so informed by a Star re-
porter, he said he was going to-
vote as soon as possible. With him
was James E. Smith. 706 A street
Sc, painter, who also said he
was going to vote.

At Walter Reed Hospital, no vol
unteer workers had arrived by l0:45
am. to assist the voting officer for
the Army Medical Center, Capt.
Thelma Chabot.
When a newspaper reporter ar
rived, Capt. Chabot Immediately
swore her in and pressed her into
service.
Capt. Chabot said plebiscite OFF,
cials were attempting to round up
additional volunteers to serve at
the hospital.
During the rush hour between 9
and 10 am, approximately 80 peo-
pie voted. most of them civilian
workers on the post. A few were dis
abled servicemen, and Capt. Chabot
said fortunately no calls had been
received from the wards for workers
to take votes from bed patients. She
expected there would be some later,
she said. 10 '4'~.s- 90 --~---..
r. xf "'' 't=s"
Municipal Court judges. with the
exception of Chief Judge George P.
Barse. who is out of the city and
one other who could not be reached
were unanimous in declaring they
would vote today.
One of the first to the polls was
Judge Brice Clagett. who was at
Linthicum Hall in Georgetown with
his wife a minute after the polls
opened. Chief Judge Nathan Cay
ton of the Municipal Court of
Appeals and Judge Ellen K. Raedy
were emphatic in their plans to vote.
Enthusiasm reached a new high at
Anacostia High School when A. r.
Seelye. 1924 @ street Sc, arrived
with his wife, Helen, and 314 year
old son, Richard. Mr.. and Mrs.
Seelye voted, then turned to Precinct
Worker Charles T. Boley. How
about a ballot for the boy?" queried
Mr.. Seelye. Told the boy appeared
a bit young, the Jealous father re-
piled: I'm so anxious to get the
tOUS lUl tl1C DIStliSU / IA WAAAiS w
vote for him myself.

From Martinsville, w. Va. came a
special delivery letter containing a
marked sample ballot, apparently
clipped from newspaper. The
signer said she was a District res
ident. Whether to allow the ballot
was just one more problem for
harassed officials.
A chance to chat at the polling
place. an old American custom de-
MED the District, was seized on by
William B. Marshall, 1918 Seven
teenth street Sc. Stamping a
double x for suffrage at Anacostia
School, he opined that only tax
paying resident should be permitted
to vote.
The 82-year-old former assistant
curator at the National Museum,
voted in Pennsylvania before coming
here 43 years ago. Then he started
paying taxes in the District and
surrendered his rights OF voting in
his home State, he said.

Stock Market Closes
Losing Week With
Further Decline
By Victor Eubonk
Associatsd Press Fiponeial Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. Sin the first
Saturday session since last May, the
stock market today ended losing
week on one of the smallest volumes
of the past two years with prices
generally continuing to give ground
Despite resumption of the 6-day
week by the stock exchange, numer-
GUS customers gave Wall Street a
wide berth and boardrooms were all
but deserted. The trend was easy
from the start. Declines of frac-
tions to point or more predomi-
mated at the close.
The Associated Press 60-stock
composite was off 3 of a point at
81 and on the week showed a net
recession of 1.8 points. Only TIA
issues registered, a minimum since
December %, 1945. OF these, 403
fell and 161 rose.
The days aggregate of $4,000
shares compared with 100000 in the
previous two-hour proceedings of
May Is and were a low since March
z, 1945. The total for the week of
5,114,691 shares was the smallest for
either a long or short stretch since
April 7, 1945. Last week the figure
was 8,420,140.
Hiram Walker Drops.
On the day Hiram Walker was
of points at 112 on 200 shares,
Chrysler 1h at 86A, International
Harvester IL at 73, General Motors
IA at 81, United States Rubber 11a
at 81 and Santa Fe l at 8514. Other
casualties included United States
Steel, Bethlehem, Montgomery Ward,
Boeing, American Telephone, Ana
conda, Pennsylvania Railroad,
Southern Railway, Schenley, Gen.

4 following pleasing earnings COM
pilation. Sharpe & Dohme added 8
shade on a favorable dividend. Gains
were retained by Standard Oil New
Jersey, New York Central, Sears
Roebuck, North American, Westing-
house Electric and Allied Chemical
Backward in the curb were Tish-
man Realty, Northern States Power,
Aireon and Cuban Atlantic Sugar
Only 10000 shares changed hands
in the Junior market. Railway
bonds softened.
Cautious selling which ruled
Throughout the week again was
blamed by brokers partly on ap-
Iprehension regarding the course of
business in coming months, per-
sistent labor-management disputes
and the complexity of international
affairs. Intermittent recoveries were
credited mainly to the idea a sizable
technical rally was possibility fol-
lowing the sharp September slump.
Favorable investment yields also
were said to have brought occasional
bidding flurries.
Selling Urgency Lacking.
Stocks backed away Monday, final
session of the past month, on 1,060,-
900 shares, largest of the week, but
selling urgency was lacking. For
September the overall average
showed net loss of 8 full points or
about $1,000 O00, 900, widest relapse
since the 11.6 points of May, 1910.
The decline was extended mod
erately Tuesday, the third straight
dip, but dealings dwindled to 100000
shares, smallest since August 26.
The market achieved a modest
comeback Wednesday, the only one
of the week with gains of fractions
to 2 points in the majority and
activity picking up to 100000 shares.
Steels, rails and rubbers were IA
vored.
Prices slipped Thursday on vol
ume of $4,000 shares. A few thin"
issues breasted the current success
fully.
Offerings depressed the market
Friday with volume the same as
Thursday. In addition to economic
worries. highlighted by automotive
output curtailment due to steel
shortages, analysts suggested that
some accounts were lightened owing
to the thought that deferred liquida-
ton might be overhanging the mar
ket including Dutch holdings vari-
olsly put at between $500 600, 900
and $500, ,000, 900. American Woolen
common and preferred enjoyed an
exceptional bulge on reports the
company's recapitalization plan
would become effective in two weeks.
