Stock Market Uneven;

NEW YORK, Nov. "a little
short covering and other buying,

selected stocks in today's short mar
ket although numerous leaders ex-
tended their retreat for the seventh
straight session.
Timid demand apparently was
based on the thought that the
lengthy downswing had considerably
improved the lists technical posi-
ton and called for normal re-
bound if only temporary. Many
customers continued to trim ac-
counts pending congressional anti
imitation developments and more
light on the confusing foreign situ-
alton. Good dividends and earnings
still were pretty we'll ignored.
Further adjustment of holdings for
income tax purposes remained as a
trend brake.
Dealings tapered at intervals after
a fairly fast start. Declines of frac-
tions to point or so predominated
near the close. Transfers for the
two hours were in the vicinity OF
10000 shares.

NANKING, Nov. 29.-Neutral OBJ
servers said today that Chinese
Communists hold the initiative over
the national government on every
battle front in Chinas widespread
civil war. Reports from the fronts
appeared to bear them out.
These observers agreed that unless
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek's S
new program of establishing high
commands over battle areas provides
quick results, the Yangtze River
valley itself may come under serious
Communist attack.
Failure of government efforts to
oust willy Red Gen. Liu Po-cheng
from north of the Yangtze led to the
belief his southern march was part
of long-range Communist plan
to establish a major base in the
Taipeh Mountains of the Anhwei-
Hupeh border. Such a base could
be used in a push against the heart
of Generalissimo Chiang's territory
the rich, vital Yangtze valley.
Resurgence of Red strength in
Shantung Province also worried the
government. Pro-government re-
ports told of the loss of Kiaohsien,
As miles northwest of Tsingtao, for
the fifth time in three months.
Street fighting was reported in Ka-
omi, west of Kiaohsien, as the Com
munists tried to drive out govern
ment troops who recently retook the
city.
While Generalissimo Chang con-
ferred with North China generals at
Peiping, fighting continued south
west of that city.
A government victory was reported
from Shensi Province, where Ma
tionalist troops occupied Yenchang,
43 miles east of the former Red
capital city of Yenan.

China Reds Reported Liquor Ad Censorship
Gaining on All Fronts Proposed in Senate
BY the Assoeiofed Press

A Senate commerce subcommittee
yesterday Gisapproved bill by Sen
ator Capper, Republican, Of Kansas
to ban interstate movement OF news
papers and magazines advertising
Intoxicating liquors, but suggested
that such advertising be regulated.
The subcommittee report, signed
oy Chairman Reed and Senator
johnson, Democrat, of Colorado,
said that undoubtedly such adver-
tising is for the purpose of convey
ing to men and women, especially
young men and women, that con-
sumption of alcoholic beverages is
socially smart, is conducive to
physical well-being, and is tradi-
tional in American life"
The report questioned, however,
whether it is practical" to enact
the Capper bill banning interstate
movement of newspapers and peri
odicals carrying liquor ads. 1t sug-
gested that Senator Capper or some
member of the COMMITTEES introduce
new bill which would:
Declare advertising to be mislead-
ing if it represents that the use of
alcoholic beverage sis beneficial to
health or contributes to physical
upbuilding, will increase social or
business standing, or is traditional
in American family life or should
be part of the atmosphere of the
American home"
This also would apply to radio ad-
vertising and would ban pictures of
persons serving or preparing drinks,
holding a bottle or glass in a manner
indicating the drinking of liquor
Pictures appealing to children or
associating the drinking OF liquor
with the celebration Of festivals or
religious holidays also would be pro-
hibited.
