The Senate Appropriations
Committee asked Controller Gen.
1eral Warren today whether he
thinks the United States should
ship Russia $25,O94, 1926 worth of
supplies earmarked for the So
Wet Union under the now de-
funct lend-lease program.
Moscow thus far has met with 81
lence all American requests to set
date for talks on how to settle for
the $l1, ,26O, 600, 900 worth of mutual
aid shipments that went to Russia
during the war.
Chairman Bridges of the Senate
group has contended that even
though the Kremlin has put up cash
for the new supplies the proposed
deal by >the State Department and
Treasury would be in violation of
last years Lend-Lease Liquidation
Act.
Senator Bridges told reporter
Mr. Warren's view might be decisive

NEW YORK, March 11-P-For
the fourth successive session the
stock market average today con-
tinued On the doWngrade.
The proceedings were more or
less erratic. Steels led a selective
and feeble comeback around mid
day, then backed away. Motors
were in front on an active sell-ot
in the fourth hour. Dealings then
quoted. Extreme losses were re-
duced in most cases at the close
with a smattering Of plus signs
in evidence. Declines ranged from
fractions to 3 points or so general
ly. There were a few wider drops
by thin" issues. Transfers OF
l, $780, 900 shares compared with
$50, 600 the day before and were
the second best since Feb. 26.
Wall street bearishness again
was based mainly on the darken-
ing international picture. Feverish-
ly gyrating commodities were
viewed with some apprehension.
Doubters regarding the wage out
look, taxes and business tighten
ed commitments. A little bid
ding was credited to the thought
that the lengthy market setback
called for a technical correction.
Profe ssionals still accounted for
the majority of transactions and
these inclined to step carefully
pending tomorrow's Presidential
address to Congress on the Medi-
terranean crisis.
