General Motors
 Not Doing Bad!

The General Motors Corp, which recently agreed to a l5c hourly pay increase under some slight pressure from its organ ized workers, revealed in its quarterly profit statement that it made in the first three months of 1947 almost 752o as much profit as in the entire year l946.
 The financial statement an- nounced that in the first quar- ter of this year CM made a pro- fit of $65,8l8,Ol9 as compared to a total net income of $87,- 526,3l1 last year, which it ran up despite a 4-month strike.
 This quarters profit was made on sales that totaled slightly less than those for the final quarter of l946, when CM sold products valued at $848 million. Sales for the first quarter, from which the huge profits were extracted, to- tailed only $804.8 million.

Government possessing power to create and issue currency and credit as money and enjoying the right to withdraw currency and credit from circulation by taxation and otherwise, NEED NOT AND SHOULD NOT BORROW CAPITAL.

Selected Stocks Gain
In Uneven Market:
Selling Persists
By Victor Eubo nix
A,,ee;e,.s Pres, r;,.,,;., wr;..,


NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Stocks con-
tinued to advance on a selective
basis today, although further light
selling handicapped many market
leaders.
Dividends, earnings and general
business optimism persisted as buy
ing inspiration for favorites. On
the other hand, professionals who
had extensive profits on the recent
upswing inclined to cash in because
of the belief that, even If a real bull
market is under way, technical
correction might be in the offing.
Dealings speeded up at intervals,
with low and medium quoted issues
coming out in sizable blocks, but
activity frequently tapered. Trends
were moderately mixed near the
fourth hour.
International Telephone was the
fastest mover, up about a point at
one time in reflection of possible

|a charge Of being q fugitive from

the group.
The money, the veterans said,
would be used to complete purchase
Of nine-acre tract near Oxon Hill,
Md, on which their homes were to
be built. It was to be known as
Hough Park. The veterans said
Hough, who gave up the project
when the veterans began demand
ing their money back, has agreed
to turn over to them his interest
in the land.
Hough Free Under Bond.
The 4o-year-old builder, who
traded as the Virginia Construction
Co., is free under bond, after being
indicted by both a Prince Georges
County grand jury and Federal
grand jury at Newport News, Va.
He also is scheduled to appear in
Municipal Court May 20 to answer
charges Of operating in the District
without real estate license.
H. D. Cubbage, $3.50 Livingston
road Sc, who was named chairman
Of a committee to investigate posi-
bilities Of completing purchase OF
the property, made the proposal last
night. He said the $3,400 to clear
the land would give II of the %
depositors clear title to their lots.
The other II lots, on which base
ments have been completed, Mr..
Cubbage said, have liens against
them from builders. laborers and
material dealers amounting to more
than 10000. However, the lien
holders who have been approached
have indicated they would drop their
claims for so per cent OF the amounts
owed them, he told the meeting.
Mr.. Cubbage suggested the II vet
Grams contribute an extra $500 each
to take care Of this amount. No
agreement was reached on that pro-
posal.
Hope to Get Some Return.
The chairman said that, If the
veterans are able to get the titles
they can either attempt to sell the
land together "and get at least some
return on the money we've already
lost" or keep their lots to build on
or sell individually later.
Jay r. Smith, owner Of the Mary
land property, said today he in
tended to foreclose a mortgage on
the land by next Friday but that he
would be agreeable to the veterans

Thomas Charges Reds
Make Greedy Raids
On u. 5. Patents
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, June 3.-Chairman
Thomas of the House Un-American
Activities Committee, said today
that all patents dealing with the
atomic bomb should be impounded
to keep them from becoming known
to Russia.
In signed article in the June
American Magazine, Representative
Thomas charged that Russia was
engaged in legal, but fragrant and
greedy raid" on United States indus
trial, chemical and military knowl-
edge through purchase of descrip-
ton of patents.
ITO my mind, it is no coincidence
that her sudden interest in all of
our patents on industrial develop
ment was simultaneous with our
atomic research and development" /"
the House member said Through
our coddling policy of giving Russia
our patented knowledge. she may
we'll be on her way to the discovery
of many--if, indeed, not aH-of those
thousands of industrial processes and
secrets which constitute the great
secret Of the atomic bomb"
Representative Thomas said that
to keep American patents in secrecy
would discourage inventive genius,
but II see no other course than to
impound all patents pertaining
even remotely. to the atomic bomb
until the world is completely stabil-
lied. q"
He said the Russian government
now has in this country under
legal protection 1887 agents, in
cluding TOO engineers" while there
are. only 220 American citizens In
Russia. Russia, he said, "intends to
keep her own secrets and take ours. y
The committee chairman also
charged that a book in Russian,
entitled American CONSTRUCTION"
and published in 1946 by the Amtorg
Trading Corp, might we'll be de-
scribed as a manual for bombing
and sabotaging the United States
1t is illustrated with photographs
of all the important bomb targets
In the United States" American
businessmen bought advertising in
the book, he added.
