Belief grew among traders that
government cotton buying over the

stocks.
Indications that the government

that cotton stocks there are

NEW YORK, May 20 - (P) -
Stocks struggled toward recovery
on an individual basis today al.
though many market leaders found
the going a bit tough and revert
ed to the minus column.
Dealings turned slow after an
active opening and the dwindling
of activity tended to sober board
rooms because of the fact that re-
cent sell-offs have been accom-.
panied by relatively heavy vol
umes. Early gains running to 2
points or so we're reduced in most
cases or converted into losses at
the close. Transfers Of 800, 900
shares compared with Mondays

As in the somewhat better per-
Torrance of the day before, short
covering and timid Investment
purchased received the principal
credit. The stock exchange an
nounced after conclusion of the
session that the short interest as
of May Is reached a high since
December, 1915, with the sharp
est increases in the past month
since January l943.
Numerous customers held aloof
Or trimmed commitments because
of persistent doubts regarding the
economic outlook, taxes, labor
legislation and the international
picture. Belief that the list was
due for a technical upswing af-
ter hitting lows for more than
two years inspired bidding.

Of the four year school at Chapel
Hill in spite Of the fact that the
Medical Society as whole favors
this action.
The chief reason for the pro
posed construction Of this build
ing in Chapel Hill is that it will
be more nearly in the center Of
N. c. than if it were in Charlotte
Or Greensboro, and this together
with the increased advantages Of
remaining on the same grounds
with the graded University more
than outweigh the disadvantages
offered by the proposed school
by its location in small COM
munity. On the other hand, adj
vantages to the medical school of
being located in a larger town
are that a greater variety of pa
tients as teaching material for
medical students would be avail
able in a large town and that
more highly qualified teachers
could be attracted to the medical
school because Of the fact that
they would be able to supplement
their teaching salary with funds
from private practice which
would be difficult to obtain in a
town the size of Chapel Hill with
out increasing the cost of med
ical service which is one of the
fundamental aims of the state
supported teaching hospital.
Final decisions as to this mat
ter rest with the General Assem-
bly, but present indications are
that the entire program of the
N. c. Medical Care commission as
published by the North Carolina
Good Health Association includ-
ing the building of a four year
medical school at Chapel Hill
will be approved by the General
Assembly of 1947 and appropria-
tons made accordingly for the
execution of the proposals. In
any case the state should be proud
of the action taken by the repre-
sentatives and members of the
medical profession regardless OF
their personal feeling with regard
to the location of the medical
school and should heartily sup
port this program.
