A four -point program designed to
meet the challenges facing demo-
cracy Iii the United States was of
fered today before delegates attend.
ing the council meeting Of the Ma
tional League of Women Voters.
Il pendleton Herring, associate of the
Carnegie Corp. and former Har-
ward University professor, who ad.
dressed the closing session at the
Friends Meeting House, suggested q
formula calling for:
Domestic legislation which will
promote ability. enterprise and
adaptation to chronological progress.
Development Of science to con-
structive ends including atomic
energy.
A military policy consistent with
international policy, and In support
OF the United Nations.
Expansion OF world trade so that
the economic predominance Of the
United States becomes an element Of
strength In the world economy.
Mr.. Herring contended that demo-
cracy is not, and need not be, on the
defensive in the United States. I'VE
have an advantage over other forms
of government, because in our demo-
cracy we can provide broader un-
derstanding and a wider support on
the part Of the people" he declared.
He listed as two great weak
nesses" In our democratic regime,
however, the fact that opinion is
slow to crystalize and co-ordinated
action often difficult," and, second-
ly. that special interests are often
able to exercise undue influence"
Mr.. Herring commended the
league for its role in strengthening
democracy" and urged members to
continue their non-partisan work of
encouraging participation In the af-
fairs Of local government.
Approximately 100 women from all
sections of the country have at
tended the council sessions which in.
cluded luncheon yesterday at the

of State Dean Acheson spoke OF the

ReuI Estate Issues
Hold Relatively Firm

In spite of the very severe break
in the stock market in the latter
half of 1916, prices of real estate
securities, on the whole, have done
exceptionally well, according to the
Amott-Baker Realty Bond Price
Averages, an index covering 200
leading Eastern issues.
This index, on November 30, 1916,
showed an average price of SIT
per 81 900 bond as compared with a
high of $753 on June 30, 1916 and
$658 at the beginning of the year.
Consequently. as of November 30th
real estate bonds, on average, were
selling 8.9 per cent above the Janu
ary l, 1916, price level in spite of a
4.8 per cent decline from the high
Of the year.
There is good deal of signifi-
canoe in the fact that the price level
of real estate bonds was reduced
only about one-third of its total
years gain in the market break
while industrial stocks lost all, of
their advance plus an additional
1874 per cent.

Stock Market UneyeI
As Early Advances
Fail 10 Hold
By Victor Eubonk
Associated Press Finonciol Writer

\
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Selectivity
and dullness today ruled the initial
stock market session of 1947.
Assorted favorites edged up frac-
tions to around points at the start,
but most failed to hold, and mild
irregularity prevailed near the fourth
hour. The first hours turnover of
10000 shares was the smallest for
this period since July 5 last.
Light reinvestment purchasing by
those who had sold for tax purposes
in December received the principal
credit for individual advances. Many
customers stood aside for trimmed
accounts pending more light on the
labor situation, the temper of the
new Congress and the shape of
business affairs in coming months.
Thermoid. up 3s at 1875, was the
first stock to register on the new
years ticker tape. Pleasing earn
ings gave a good lift to American
Distilling and Cudahy Packing.
Supported were Fajardo Sugar,
Santa Fe, Great Northern, Bethle-
hem, General Motors, Goodrich,
Montgomery Ward, Dow Chemical,
Allied Chemical, Eastman Kodak
and J. C.. Penney.

AirIines Made Strides
Despite Many Headaches

Headaches replaced profits for
most of the airline industry during
1916" C. Bedell Monro, president of
Capital AirIines said here today,
"but despite the obstacles, the air.
lines made vast strides in virtually
every phase of operations.
The year 1916 was one during
which, the Capital Airlines' execu-
tive said, the airlines lost vast sums
of money but accumulated expert
ence which can only result in new
and more favorable concept of COM
air transportation"
During one of the financially and
operationally most difficult years in
our history" he added, "we managed
to show enormous gains in passen-
gers flown and in mail, express and
cargo tonnage"
He said that two hotel strikes
one in Washington and the other
in Pittsburgh-added $250000 to the
companv's losses.
