LOSSES TAKE PLACE

Stocks lost fractions. to more than point today, following six con- secutive sessions of advance that had added more than $2000,000,00C to the market value of listed is sues.
 Wall Street had no explanation for the dip, except that it came after the rather sustained upswing Some who had made small profits on the rise apparently decided to take them, since two big problems seem to have been settled-the coal dispute and the question of tax cut in 1948.
 On todays turndown American Telephone. Douglas, Publisher h. dustries, Sears Roebuck, American Smelling ard International Paper all lost a point or more. Chrysler and General Motors were both off more than point in spite Of pros poets for steady supply of steel, now that the mine walkout has been virtually settled
 Rails had losses ranging to a point or more in Southern Pacific Southern Railway and Norfolk & Western.

 It would be unfortunate, he said, if some countries refused to parti- cipate.

An INTERESTING DECISION

A Pennsylvania court has ISSUED
an Injunction restraining the State
from collecting the annual license
fee from wholesalers and retailers
of margarine. Apparently license
fees have been collected by Penn
sylyania from this source for 40
wears. In the recent decision the
court held that the fees are "un-
reasonable, cOnfiscatOry, and dis
criminatory, and constitute an ille-
cal restraint of trade" When this
matter was up before Congress
early in the twentieth century there
were all sorts of claims to the effect
that oleomargarine was not good
food. Maybe it wasn't. But 1T is to-
day, and the best food concerns IN
the country brought it up to date
as a new product called margarine.
Ii isn't any use to argue about the
quality of that article inasmuch as
il is a staple food in millions OF the
best homes of the Nation. The deci-
sion handed down by the Pennsyl-
vania judge meets the support of
fairminded people.
