In Illinois, however, where Is

Progressive party has already
qualified In Cook county by polling

colored voters, but whether he can
attract enough Of their votes in
pivotal states TO influence the next
Presidential election remains TO be
seen.
Wallaee's chances appear to be
best in New York, California and
Illinois. II he causes any serious
detection Of eolored voters from
the Democratic ticket in these
three States, it will be ell-nigh i'm
possible for President Truman to
be reelected.
Negro Vote Fluid
The eolored vote, however, Is at
present fluid. Its trend back to the
Republican party, as shown by the
1916 Congressional elections, has
been retarded by Mr.. Truman. The
report Of the Presidents Civil
Rights Committee has made col.
ored voters "Stop, Look and Lis
tent"
II Mr.. Truman himself takes any
steps TO implement that report, the
movement Of colored voters back
TO the Republican party may be al
together stopped.
COP. TO Make Bid
On the other hand, Republicans
In Congress may be expected TO
make a determined bid for the col.
Ored voter. On the agenda for ac-
ton In the next Congress are such
long-sOught measures as antilynch-
ing, ARti-poll tax, the bill against
discrimination in employment, and
q resolution to amend the Senate

Stock Market Holds
Firm in Light Week.;
Prices Are Sensitive
By WilIiom D. Horoon

~Aoe'oRo FfesS rtnonciui Writer
NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-The stock
market held its ground this week
In the face OF scorching weather
Russia and caution on the part of
investigators and spectators.
The best gauge of the interest
shown In stocks was contained in
the daily volume figures. On one
particularly active day turnover
piled up to $4,000 shares, level
at which brokerage houses usually
start looking for the red ink. Sales
Tor the week amounted to only O.
S58,070 shares, the smallest since
November, 1943.
1t was professional market from
start to finish. The investing public,
and the speculating public, were
busy moving the lawn or trying to
hgure out how to pay the grocery
bill.
Prices Highly Sensitive.
Volume was so low that even the
professional traders ran into trouble.
Prices were highly sensitive to small
buying or selling orders and the
trader who was out to clip half a
point here or there had his prob
lens.
The financial district derived con-
siderable encouragement from the
fact that prices held up fairly we'll
despite the skimpy amount of busi-
ness.
Wall Street is paying more and
more attention to business weather
vanes that point to a slowing down
Of commercial and industrial activ-
fly. More than few of the eco
nomic crystal-eazers believe that
In retrospect it will be shown that
the Nation has already passed the
high point Of the postwar imitation
and that we are already on down.

The market, these theorists con-

Russia will or won't do than 1t is
about what may develop in our
