Buyers Favor MOTOR,
But Rest Of Market
Shows Little Response
Nv fhe A.xceiafsd Prss. !,

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.--Motors held
q favored spot in the stock market
today although. their Improvement
stirred little response elsewhere.
After a fairly active opening, the
pace Of trading slowed considerably
as bidding followed a highly selec-
tive course. The list was well mixed
near the fourth hour.
Commission houses reported Gus
toners believed General Motors re-
turn to higher dividend rate pre-
saged higher rates of operations by
automobile companies. Earnings re-
ports and hopes for avoiding any
sharp recession were other support
ing factors. Recent advances, how
ever, opened many issues to profit
taking, and thoughts that coy
rection WAS in line limited senti-
ment. Several rails continued to
back away from highs OF the past
week.
Gains were registered by General
Motors, Chrysler. WHY'S Overland,
Packard, Continental Motors, Du
Pont, Westinghouse Electric, Amer
ican Can, U. s. Rubber, United
Aircraft, Consolidated Edison and
Southern Railway. On the down.
side were Baltimore & Ohio, New
York Central, Western Union "A,''
Allied Chemical, American Smelt-
ing, International Nickel, Bethle-
hem, Youngstown Sheet and Mont

3 Of 4D.. c. Utilities
Report Net Incomes
Below Previous YeaI
By Edword c. Stone

Three of Washington'S four big util-
fly corporations registered lower net
earnings in 1916 than in 1945, only
the Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co. coming out ahead, final
reports to the Public Utilities CoIn-
mission disclosed.
The telephone report for 1916 dis
closed a net income of So, ,464 ,303,
before interest and dividends, an
increase over the preceding year of
s475,857. A substantial gain in oper-
aHng revenues and a cut of 81, ,425,-
$50 in taxes more than offset high
or operating costs.
Washington Gas Lights 1946 net
income totaled 81 ,059, ,096, decrease
of $234,558 from the previous year.
Unusually mild weather during 1916,
together with an increase Of $685.
ea7 in operating expenses, were the
cliief causes Of the lower earnings.
Capital Transit's net income of
$987 ,224, or $340,999 under the 1915
total, reflected decline of $536, 6,219
in operating revenues and an in
crease of more than $2,500,000 In
operating expenses. A reduction in
taxes and special charges of $2,-
63S,912 was most helpful.
Potomac Electric Powers SUBJ
stantial net income of So, ,464,5 ,563 was
$609, ,876 under the preceding year,
mainly due to two brownouts dur
ing coal strikes, to a heavy increase
in operating expenses, and to tax
adjustments in 1945 particularly ia
vorable to that year.
Advertising Firm Expands.
The Kronstadt Advertising g
Agency, now in its eighth year in
Washington, has expanded its fa-
cilities and is situated in larger
quarters at 908 Fourteenth street,
opposite Franklin Park. Henry L.
Kronstadt, president, announces the
Inauguration of a public relations
department, in addition to its other
services.
In the 57th annual report of the
Washington Loan g. Trust Co.,
Harry G. Meem, president. said that
earnings were most satisfactory dur
ing 1916, an increase in. loans be-
ing especially gratifying. Trust de-
partment earnings were the third
largest of any year. The bank in
stalled 332 new safe deposit boxes
during the year.
Daniel w. Bell, president Of the
American Security g. Trust Co.. has
received scores of compliments on
the company's greatly enlarged and
most complete annual report to
stockholders. The report showed an
increase of more than $22 2,000, 900 in
net deposits, including deposits in
the new Columbia Branch, and an
increase Of 1887 in new accounts
The real estate department had a
particularly active year.
Store Sales Up Sharply
Many surprising gains in depart
ment store trade in leading cities of
the nation in 1916 have been re-
ported by the Federal Reserve
Board, with East st. Louis topping
the list with 54 per cent gain over
1s45.
Albany registered an upturn of 43
per cent; Syracuse 38, Cincinnati
81, Roanoke 80, Nashville 36, Grand
Rapids SO, st. Paul IS, Denver IS,
Houston "a, Augusta, Ga, 35; Min
neapolis 33. AS already noted, Wash
ington's gain was II per cent and
the Richmond Districts 81. Balti-
more sales were up % per cent in
the ~ months.

Singapore Preparing
For First Experience
In Using Ballot Box
BY the Assoeiassd Press

SINGAPORE, May 31.-This ma.
jor Asiatic metropolis is making
ready for its first experience with
the ballot box.
The crown colony-220 square
miles of island off the Malay penin-
sula-soon will have its first Legis-
lature, the majority appointed by
the governor or named by the crown
But nine Of % members will be
elected.
Six of the elected members must
be born or naturalized as British
subjects in the colony, and one each
is to be named by three local cham
bers of commerce-one Chinese,
one largely British and one Indian
and sCeylonese.
The governor will head the coun-
cil but vote only to break tie.
Four government men are ex-oficio
members. The governor will name
five other Official" members from
government ranks-presumably they
will be Britons.
Governors Powers Listed.
The governor also can appoint as
many as four unofficial members
persons not employed by the
crown. This, the government an
nouncement said. will insure rep
resentation for minority commune
ties not large enough to elect a
candidate.
The governors veto can't be over
ridden. The secretary of state for
the colonies in the British cabinet
has a final veto.
Also the governor can sign laws
without council approval, although
he must report such action with ex-
plantations to the secretary of state.
Council members may also appeal
to London.
Press Is Strong.
This Is major grant of power to
the governor, but Singapore has a
strong press backed by members of
both English political parties. Lo-
cal complaints usually get asked
about in the House of Commons. An
interim advisory council currently
is functioning and the first post
war governor, Sir Franklin Gimson
has used neither veto nor inde-
pendent legislative powers. One of
his income tax measures has been
shelved.
At least two-thirds of Singapores
100000 people are Chinese. A voter
will have to visit the registrar and
announce himself a British sub
1ect. This may reduce the vote from
politically apathetic Asiatics. 1t
also includes giving up allegiance
to China or India, something many
Chinese and Indians guard Jealous
ly. This may further reduce the
electorate. One official said his
2ooOOO-voter estimate was just a
guess.

cording to reliable reports, though

Change Called Ridiculous.
Obviously, the Communist charge
against Gen. Marshall Is ridiculous
although 1t is possible that in priv
ate talks here former United States
Ambassador Bullitt may have asked
for better treatment for the man
whose name Is associated with
Verdun.
The reports that the government
would move Petain have served to
stir up bitter campaign against
Premier Ranadier in the leftist
press. 1t is not considered likely,
therefore, that he would give the
Communists any unnecessary
grounds for attack by listening to
importunings in Petain's behalf at
this juncture, despite the fact that
they are coming from numerous
distinguished sources, including the
French Academy.

Peroxide Used to Bleach
Textiles With EIectronics
By the Assoeiated Press

PHILADELPHIA. -- DEVELOPMENTS
of new electronic controlling de-
vices, operating with radio tubes
and other new equipment, have
made it possible, according to en-
gineers of Brown Instrument Co., to
make wide use of peroxide as tex
tile bleaching agent.
Moreover, they continue, the use
of peroxide in the accurately con-
trolled bleaching process assures
that all bleached textiles will stay
white-not yellow at the folds-re-
gardless of the time they are piled
on store or closet shelves.
The electronic devices control
each of many steps in continuous
system in which temperature and
humidity are held within fractions
of a degree of absolute accuracy.
