Bull Market JoIted
By Heavy Selling
Late in Week
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, July 17.-The stock
r 'ket cracked wide open this week
EN- prices plunged in the sharpest
Vcel-to-week decline in more than
a rear.
Wall Streets bull market took its
f1:.t staggering blow on Thursday.
Or Friday another hard-hitting SELL
irc drive lashed at the market when

pounding.
N two days approximately s20o0,-
OcJ was chopped away from the
ma ket value of all securities listed
on the stock exchange.
The general level of prices was
bac x to where it stood in midday
just before spectacular advance.
The bull market that the financial
district has cooed over for months
locked mighty shaky at the week.
END. A lot of the experts, though,
ccrtended the weeks decline
a. cunted to nothing more than
wing pains and that a hopefully
r. Iicted summer advance would
sti develop.
Trading Largely Professional.
Gre of the most noteworthy facts.
eNout the weeks market was the
a,sence of public participation on
aHv scale. 1t was predominantly
professional market, made up of
r ars whose business is to buy and
sell securities for their own account.
The small investor still owned a lot
o. Stocks-but the small investor is
rarely in and out of the market on
q day to day basis
The financial district blamed the
markets behavior on three factors:
President Truman's call for a spe-
cial session of Congress, the United
States Steel Corp. wage-price in
crease, and the Russian reply to the
three-power note on the Berlin
blockade.
Traders considered the news bal.
In word, and there wasn't much
in the way Of good news as a
counter balance.
The special session loomed ahead
In vague fashion Perhaps this
very vagueness made it more i'm
pressive in the minds of financial
men. Nobody seemed quite sure
what Congress might do, much less
what the legislators actually would
do
Busines swill come in for spank.
ing or trashing, that seemed sure,
But whether or not the Congress
would enact laws that business
would consider unfavorable was
certainly debatable question.
Berlin Blockade Watched.
Concern over the Berlin blockade
was almost as nebulous. Possibly
one out of every ten responsible
men downtown thought there was
a real chance that the only way to
settle the East-West quarrel was
by war. Most men believed the
present deadlock would be resolved
by the customary long drawn out
negotiations.
Some quarters in Wall Street
found an encouraging note even in
the Berlin news, and that was the
firm stand taken by Washington
in the present argumetn with Mos
COW. Washington, only few weeks
back, was severely criticized by those
who saw what they considered weak
strains in the Admipistration's at-t
titute to an exceedingly important
issue.
The decision of United States
Steel Corp. to boost wages and at
the same time increase prices car

I suppose you are all set for the
canning season which has already
begun. Nothing like having every
thing ready before you begin. The
best quality rubber ring for canning
lars is a real economy, for it means
air-tight jars and rightly preserved
foods. Avoid pretty jars" or jars
that do not have regulation size tops,
so that the regulation rubbers will
give you the utmost protection.
Many nutritionists recommend a
serving Of potatoes-more than once
if you like-every day. The reason
they say, is that potatoes are chuck
full of food value. So here are a
couple of recipes to vary the way of
cooking them:
Potato Cheeseburgers
2 cups hot riced potatoes
2 tablespoons butter or fortified
margarine
H cup grated yellow cheese
II teaspoon salt
Few grains cayenne
2 tablespoons water
2 eggs
Fine dry bread crumbs
Butter or fortified margarine for
frying
Combine potatoes, butter or mar
garine, cheese, salt, cayenne, and l
egg and whip until light. Shape in
to patties. Beat remaining egg with
water. Dip patties in bread crumbs
and then in egg mixture and again
in bread crumbs. Melt additional
butter or margarine in skillet, add
patties and cook until golden brown
on one side. Turn and brown other
side.

raisers all over the country have

duce the ''Chicken-Of- Tomorrow" a

sticks, a broader breast, shorter

like perfection doesn't it?

with big festival at Georgetown,

prize to the Vantress brothers, OF
Marysville, California, for their
plump entry-a cross-bred bird Cred
Cornish and New Hampshire) with
a remarkably high percentage OF
meat to the bone. Judges were ex-
perts from the United State De-
partment of Agriculture and the
poultry industry, and the prize mon
ey was given by large food chain

morrow" but only few, went on
sale in Washington last week. A
larger supply is expected in the near
future.

StrangIer Of Girl Gets
10-Year Sentence
By the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE. Dec. 11.-Duncan
Livingstone, Is, who strangled his
girl friend and then attempted sui
eide, was sentenced to 10 years IN
the penitentiary yesterday
The State accepted the young
war veterans plea of innocent to
murder and let him plead guilty
to a manslaughter count instead
He got the maximum sentence on
that charge.
Livingstone, the State said, got
mad wnen 18-year-old Shirley
Will slapped his face while they
were parked in his automobile, and
strangled her.
But the State acknowledged 1t
did not have enough evidence to
press for frst-degree murder con-
viction.
Livingstone drove around for sew
eral hours after Miss Wills death
and near Aberdeen shot himself
through the chest. Severely
wounded, he spent months in a
hospital before he was tried.
Referring to the face-slapping in
cident, the prosecution noted there
was no suggestion the girl had beer
m;streated or attacked before sht
was slain.
Harry Adelberg, Livingstone's at
torney, cited the defendants wal
history to show he had been kicked
in the face by a horse and suf-
fered jaw injury that remained
tender
Wrath over the slaps, the prosecu-
ton told the court, seemed the
only explanation for the killing
from Livingstone's own statement.
