Truman Message
By Victor Eubonk
A,soeietsd Press FinoneiaI Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. l7.-Stocks
churned over a slightly irregular
route III today's market with the
Presidents message to Congress
generally taken in stride by specu-
lative and investment forces.
The list virtually was at stand
still III the forenoon as Wall Street
awaited the recommendations of the
Chief Executive.
When the message was released on
the news tickers activity and prices
failed to shake of their lethargy
Mixed tendencies ruled nea rthe
close. Turnover for the full stretch
dwindled to around 100000 shares
Financial quarters, on the whole
suggested that the White House
program for European relief and
the battle against domestic infla-
ton may have been pretty we'll dis
counted marketwise. The plea for
reinstatement of certain economic
controls, rationing and ALLEGATIONS
was expected.
