STOCKS InGCGULAR


 Stocks moved irregularly in the final session of the week today on the smallest volume in a month.
 None of the leading groups man. aged to register definite trend, although the market as whole near closing time was above the lows of the day made in the morn ing dealings.
 The recent recovery which added some two billions to market values attracted selling from holders of stock who had been awaiting a re- covery to unload.
 Market news continued fairly fa- vorable, including 26 to 30 per- cent rise in retail sales as compared with a year ago; and several fa- vorable earnings reports, notably Eversharp which reported net in- come for the six months ended August 31 at $2,547,197, against $602,491 in the corresponding per- iod of last year.

Greek King
 Flying Out
 From Exile
George Il Hops From Lon. don-Returning Home
 to Mount Throne

LONDON, Sept. 27,-Aboard a private plane flying the Greek royal colors, King George II of Greece left England this morning to re- sume the throne of the strife torn land from which advancing Ger man armies drove him five years ago
 The Greek government has made elaborate plans to welcome the 56- year old, Danish monarch tomorrow morning when he returns from the second exile of his reign which began in 1922.
 Strict police precautions have been arranged to guard him upon his return, coming amid fierce fighting and civil strife in North ern Greece which Permier Con- stantin Tsaldaris said Wednesday had reached the magnitude of war.
 King George, summoned back to his throne by a better than two to one margin in a Sept. 1 plebis- cite, was attired in a be-medalled uniform of commander-in- chief of the Greek army as he strode across the flying field toward his plane.
 He laughed gaily as he shook hands with personal friends as- sembled to see him off. For pho- tographers he embraced and kissed his cousin. Marina, Duchess ct Kent, who wept.
 An official spokesman said the plane would land on Greek terri tory this evening, but he would not say exactly where.
 Earlier, dispatches from Athens said the king was expected to ar rive at an airport on the Pelopon- nesus and continue his journey to Piraeus, Port of Athens, on a des- troyer.

Senator Wherry will get enthusi-
