Stock Market Uneyer
lin Quiet Dealings
|As Caution Rules
BY Victor Eubonk
A..eeIe..d Pres. FInonelsI Wri,.r

NEW YORK, Mar. Caution
was the watchword In today,s stock
market with narrow irregularity
ruling from the start.
Dealings turned quiet, after a
moderately active opening. While
modest plus marks persisted nea,
the fourth hour, declines were
plentiful.
Word that President Truman
would address a joint session OF
Congress Wednesday on the Near
East situation tended to accentuate
speculative and investment conser-
vatism. Some bidding by profess
sionals for q technical revival aided
individual issues. Skeptics regard
ing business, taxes. foreign affairs
and gyrating commodities still held
to the selling side.
Ahead at intervals were United
States Steel. Bethlehem, j. I. Case
American Woolen, Union Carbide
American Water Works, General
Motors, Chrysler, American Smelt-
ing, Texas Co. and Caterpillar Trac-

Capital Transit Adds
McCoach 10 Board
As Ham Resigns
By Edxord c. Stone


David McCoach. jr.. former Dis
trict Commissioner and now vice
president OF the Charles H. Tomp-
kins Co., was elected a director Of
the Capital Transit Co. at the an
nual meeting today.
He succeeds William F. Ham, who
resigned after serving as director
of Capital Transit since its organiza-
ton in 1888, and as director and
president Of its predecessor, the
Washington Railway & Electric Co.,
for many years.
In his annual report today. Presi-
dent e. D. Merrill warned stock
holders that an operating deficit
probably will be shown In the first
quarter of 1947 but expressed the
hope that the Public Utilities Com
mission will allow an increase in
fares so chat a modest dividend may
be continued.
Mr.. Merrill called attention to the
decline Of III per cent in operat-
ing revenue since 1945 and fur
ther decline Of 6 per cent so far
this year. He also pointed to the
upward trend in expenses due to
higher wages. He noted the de-
crease in funded debt from $15,477,-
100 to $l0,930 600, and said he does
lot favor subways for the District
Mr.. Merrill said the company was
considering operating express bus
-ervice from outlying areas at higher
than standard fares. This, he said
may help reduce downtown traffic
congestion il more people are at
tracted to public transportation and
use fewer automobiles.
Aggregate deposits in Washing
-on's 10 banks and trust companies
lave registered very little change
ince the Controller of the Cur
ency's call at the end Of December,
survey indicated today.
On December 81, 1916, the banks
,ad total deposits of $1,l21 ,4os, 100.
5ankers said today the total may
lave gone up slightly since that date,
,artly because Of a modest increase
n Treasury funds in connection
7ith short-term note issues.
During March, tax payment
hecks are a heavy drain on bank
eposits. These payments may cause
ONE banks to show a small first
uarter deposit decrease, officials
aid.
Attention Is focused on deposits
t this time because of a possible
ank call by the Controller Of Cur
,ncy. This is optional, however, as
lie law requires only three condi-
On calls year. All may come in
ter months.
Trade Shows Modest Gain.
The Federal Reserve Board re-
Jrts that department store sales in
le Fifth District in the first two
.onths Of this year was 3 per cent
head Of the like 1916 period. The
verage gain for the IL districts were
A per cent. Minneapolis District
opped the list with a 10 per cent
:dvance. Atlanta trade was up 8
per cent.
The Easton National Bank,
Easton, Md, has bought the Farm
ers & Mechanics Bank, of Eastern, to
,ecome one Of the largest financial
institutions on the Eastern Shore.
During February, 1947, State and
municipal bond approvals totaled
15,223,600 as compared with $2s,-
COT 900 during February OF 1916, ac-
cording to the Daily Bond Buyer.

The NAACP's decision to spon-
sor the first performance of the
vehicle came after discussions be-
tween Association officials and
the producers, Eddie Bowling and
Louis Singer, whose last Broad
way production, The Glass Mena-
gerie'. was a smash success. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Harrington it was
felt that because of the deep
significance of Our Lam and the
effect it is expected to have on
inter cultural relations, a drama
tic opening performance sponsor
ed by the veteran race relations.
organization was a very natural
development. A unique twist was
introduced when the plays large
cast. most of whom are Negro
actors and actresses well known
to Broadway audiences, unanim-
ously suggested that the first per-
Torrance be an NAACP perfor-
Torrance.
Our Lam was originally tried
out at New York's Neighborhood
House last season when it was
lauded by the critics. The New
York Times Brooks Atkinson
wrote: "One of the bbest plays
of the Gotham season. Could
hardly have more warmth of
humanity; the simplicity could
could hardly be more genuine, nor
the mass scenes have more

gone up sixty-two per cent, fats

that the cost Of living win rise

Webbing Rabbit. The man who
had made it work is a well-mus-
cled, pigeontoed, 2S-year-old rock
lie from Pasadena. Calf. who,
along with Glen Davis and Babe
Didrikson zaharias, is one Of the
great all-round athletes of his day.
He looks awkward, but isn't.
He stops and starts as though
turned off and on with a toggIe
switch. He seems to hit a base
ball on the dead run. Once in
motion, he wobbles along, elbows
flying, hips swaying, shoulders
rocking - creating the illusion
that he will fly to pieces with
every stride. But once he gains
momentum, his shoulders come 10
order and his feet skim along
like flying fish. He is not only
jJack-rabbit fast, but about one
thought and two steps ahead Of
every b~ase-runner in the business
He beats out hunts, stretches sim
giles into doubles. Once Jackie
made second OF a base-on-balls
he saw that the catcher had lost
the ball, so he just kept on going.
He has stolen 26 bases this sea
son, more than any other National
Lacquer. He dances and prances
off ba4ey keeping the enelny's
infieId upset and off balance and
worrying the pitcher. The boys
call it "showboat baseball" He
is not, in his first year, the great
est b~ase-runner since Ty Cobb, but
he is mighty good. Cobb made a
practice of coming in with spikes
aimed at anyone brave enough to
get in his way. It wouldn't have
been polite for Jackie to do it
that way very often. Itobinsonis
base running, which resembles
more the thickness Of Pepper
Martin, is a combination of sur
prise, timing and speed. Says
Jackie: "Daring-that's half my
game"
TurnstiIe Sociology. Jackie's dar-
ing on the baselines has been
matched by shrewd Branch Rio
keys daring on the color line.

Wherever the Dodgers have
