Some Stocks Advance
But Market Remains.
Generally Stagnant
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Selective
bidding advanced a few leaders in
today's stock market but failed to
stir any general departure from
quietly irregular path.
Dealings were extremely slow from
the start. Although occasional i'm
provement appeared here and there,
the list near the fourth hour was
well mixed.
Lack of interest by either buyers
or sellers was attributed by brokers
to continued doubts over effects of
wage-price moves on business pros
poets and to concern over recent
nervousness of commodities. But
ter suffered another price dip. Props
for some individual issues came
from favorable earnings and divi-
dend reports.
John Morrell & Co. climbed more
than points in initial transactions
after disclosure of proposal to split
the stock 2-for-1. At highher levels
were United States Steel, Bethle-
hem, Great Northern preferred,
Chesapeake g. Ohio, Chrysler, Cen
eral Motors, United States Rub
ber, General Electric, United
States Gypsum, American Smelling,
International Nickel and Philip
Morris. Giving ground were Amer
ican Telephone, Goodyear, Ana
conda, Allied Chemical, Union Car
bide, Texas Co. and Westinghouse.
Motor shares showed little re-
sponse to the action of General Mo-
tors in lifting prices on some Pom
tiac IS and IS and certain luxury
models of its higher priced makes.
Bonds were narrow.

Mr. Harrison said tobacco exports had
dropped to eighth place as result OF the

of Law of which he is now trustee.
He is a member of the District Bar,
and has been connected with the
trust company during his entire
business career, and has been a vice
president for 10 years.
The meeting last night drew 260
of the city's leading bankers.
Labor Laws Top Legislation.
Representative Clarence j. Brown
of Ohio told the bankers that the
greatest single job Congress has be-
fore 1t is the enactment of proper
labor reform legislation.
Next is the cutting down Of the
war-inf1ated governmental structure
to its proper size, as it is still cost
ing between four and five times as
much to operate the Government as
in any prewar year under President
Roosevelt.
The big job ahead of Congress
and the Nation, the speaker said,
is to reduce Federal spending to a
point where the people can pay the
bill and still have something left
over for investment and their old
age
q. s. Planning Difficult.
Governmental planning on any
extensive scale, tends to be incom-
patible with the party system, Felix
Morley, editor of Human Events,
another guest speaker, asserted.
Planning necessitates continuity
Of administration, said DR.. Morley,
when a political party Identifies
itself with long-range social and
economic plans it becomes the more
eager to remain in office in order
to carry them through
Eventually, the speaker asserted,
governmental planners are forced to
maintain that elections are unde-
sirable, and actually undemocratic.
1t is no accident that every govern
ment which has inaugurated FIVE
year plan had first liquidated all
political opposition, he said

Muddy Field Likely,
HoYas and Deacons
May Shun Aeria!s

There was considerable doubt to-
day that Saturday nights George
town. Forest game will prove
to be decided by passing attacks as
forecast.
The Wake Forest area of North
Carolina was hard hit by the tropical
storm and with more heavy rains
predicted today. it is unlikely that
the Deacons' field will be conducive
to aerials.
Wake Forest drilled indoors yes
terday and also announced CO.
captains. Ed Royston, a tackle from
Baltimore, and Harry Clark, center
from Waynesboro, N. c.
Tom Fetzer, the Deacon's No.
tailback, remained on the injured
list, but expects to play in the OPEN
ing game against the Hoyas.
GEORGETOWN also was chased inside
by rain, but Coach Jack Hagerty
was in mood to take his squad
outside today. despite the weather
as 1t may give the team taste Of
what to expect Saturday.
If the field is muddy, kicking will
be very important to both teams.
The Hoyas will depend on Lou Sur
man, who ranked ninth In the coun-
try last year, and Lou Miller, while
Bill Gregus, the freshman sensation
Of the Deacons from Dayton, Ohio,
will handle most of their punting.
