| Stock Market Uneven,
with Buying Limited
Ito Selected Issues
By Victor Eubonk
Associoied Press Financial Write

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Selective
demand kept the stock market
pretty well balanced today, although
many leaders suffered from neglect,
and dealings were among the SLOW
est of the past month or so.
Preholiday buying apathy again
was blamed partly on the desire to
await congressional moves anent
European relief and domestic inf1a-
ton. Refusal of the list generally
to reflect good corporate news still
was viewed bearishly A little nib
bling here and there was credited
to the thought that technical re-
bound might, be in the making.
The ticker tape loafed after a
fairly active opening. Prices i'm
proved individually around midday
but losses were plentiful near the
fourth hour.
Better performers included United
States Steel, Bethlehem Steel
Southern Railway, Chesapeake &
Ohio, Rayonier, General Motors
American Cyanamid, Goodyear
Deere, Douglas Aircraft, Du Pont
Kennecott, Anaconda. Phelps Dodge
Allied Chemical and Union Carbide
New York Omnibus, Third Avenue
Transit and Omnibus Corp. contin-
ued to attract support on expecta-
tions of fare boosts. Western Union
pushed up on pleasing earnings

Occasional losers were Consoli-

Training Plan to Give
Unmatched Traininq
Morally, Polling Says

Trainees under the proposed uni
versal military training plan would
receive moral and religious guild
ance unequalled in the Nations
history, DR.. Daniel A Polling. editor
of the Christian Herald, said today.
DR.. Polling, who is a member of
the Presidents Advisory Commits
sion on Military Training, ad-
dressed the first annual convention
of the Association of Land Grant
Colleges and Universities at the
Washington Hotel. More than 500
officials from So institutions are
expected to attend.
The religious leader emphasized
that universal military training is
not CONSUMPTION. Trainees would
not be in the armed services, the
articles of war would not apply tC
them, they would not be subject
! to Army court martial and could
not be sent out of the country, ht
said.
Held Not Militaristic.
"a weak America would more
quickly destroy the United Nations
than any possible withdrawal from
it or direct attack upon it. DR.
Polling said the commission had beer
told lin effect" by small European
nations.
In his study of the moral phase
of the training he learned an envi
ronment could be provided trainee'
superior to that under which man,
i youths now live.
/ Meeting criticism point by point
DR.. Polling said:
Sweden, Switzerland and the opin
ions of our own returning veteran
are arguments against the idea tina
such training would make Americ;
militaristic.
Others Have COnscription.
Most countries already have peace
time conscription, so America coul'
not be accused of setting a bad eX
ample.
Universal military training is no
un- Christian unless police fore
in a community is un-Christian."
DR.. George F. zook, president o
the American Council on Education
and member of the President
Commission on Higher Education
told the audience that public JUNO
colleges should be established in al
cities of more than 10000 popula
ton. He urged land grant school,
to help fill the great pent up de
mand for adult education"
Tomorrow's program will Include
addresses by Robert F.. Bacher o
the United States Atomic Energ,
Commission on peacetime uses o
atomic energy, and by British Am
bassador Lord Inverchapel.

Best Measure of Profits is their
ratio to the sales dollar-National
Association of Manufacturers. No
major industry has had profit as
high as 1917 of sales in the last six
years and margins under SO have
oredominated. Spectacular figures
on aggregate dollar profits or re-
turn on net worth are completely
misleading, the NAM declared.

main open.

dashing down the street . even
Santa Claus, albeit somewhat less
robust of appearance than usual,
stopped here last Saturday afternoon
to give the kiddies a thrill . and

windows at the postoffice were open

get your Christmas parcels in the
mail before next week and the
tempo of holiday shopping steadily
stepping up harried mothers
