By Victor Eubonk

NEW YORK, Feb, 3.-Stocks

quiet retreat in today's market.
Prices generally slipped after a
fairly active start but dealings slowed
appreciably. While a number OF

fractions to a point or so held the
majority.
Professionals cashed further prof

trimmed accounts here and there
because of persistent doubts regard

the taX-cut program served to re-
strain bullish contingents.

Pensions Is Possible

A House subcommittee investi-
eating Army, Navy and Air Force
officers tax-free disability retire
n1ent pensions was In recess today
after hearing that there may have
been some fraud but no racket" in
such retirments.
This assertion came from Maj.
Gen. John E. Dahlquist, deputy di-
rector of Army personnel.
IF there was fraud" Gen. Dahl
quist said. "the American medical
profession stands guilty Of 1t. No
officer could be retired fraudulently
without the help of ward doctors,
medical witnesses and medical ON

Il don't believe the American
medical profession is fraudulent"
he added.
