Stock Market Turns
Uneven After Early
Squirt 10 New High
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The stock
market teetered uncertainty today
after an opening buying rush
lifted the price level to a new top
for the year.
Fractional gains were still IN a
heavy majority but the widest
advances were trimmed all along
the line.
Demand persisted in the face OF
continued strikes in the coal and
steel industries and no apparent
sign that progress is being made
toward settlement.
White House Press Secretary
Charles Ross, questioned by a re-
porter about wall Street ru-
mors" that a steel strike settle
ment is imminent, said he had
heard no such rumors. The hope
persists in the financial district,
nevertheless, that a settlement
will be reached in the near future.
Steel stocks were among those
which found the going a bit
bumpy. United States Steel and
Republic inched ahead, but Beth
lehem and Youngstown Sheet
were trimmed fractionally.
Profit taking clipped a couple
of recently popular issues. Ad-
miral Corp, for instance, hit a
new peak for 1949 during the
morning but later backed down
for loss of more than a point.
Higher prices were paid for
General Motors. Studebaker.
Goodrich, Woolworth. Caterpillar
Tractor, Zenith Radio, American
Telephone, American Smelling,
Allied Chemical, Dow Chemical,
Westinghouse Electric. Philip
Morris. International Paper,
Santa Fe, Southern Railway,
Standard Oil New Jersey,
Texas Co., Twentieth Century
Fox and United States Gypsum.
Drifting into the minus column
were Southern California Edison,
Consolidated Natural Gas. Union
Carbide, Chesapeake & Ohio and
Eastern Air Lines.
Railway issues with speculative
rating attracted mild support in
the bond market. Several United
States Government bonds in the
long term maturity bracket i'm
proved a little in over-the-counter
dealings.

BOSTON MINISTER PASSES
Club Women
Fete ?. President

During the recent sojourn of
Miss Susie F. Jones in Boston, the
Mass. State Union Of Women's
Clubs gave a very coy, informal
reception for her at AGA Massa-
chusetts Ave. Miss Jones, beau
tifully attired in lowered black
taffeta, was accompanied by a
large group of friends from other
states who were in town to pay
homage to her at a banquet; AGA
took on festive look at this
party as each one present was
glad to see the guest of honor.
Miss Jones, past president of
the Union, is temporarily living
in New York for business reasons,
but made it plain that her mind
and heart are still with her
friends in Boston and Massachu-
sets.
Chairman Mrs. Melnea Cass,
and her committee received very
graciously, very ably assisted by
the president of the Union, Mrs.
Gertrude Chandler and between
them they introduced the follow
ing program. Introductory and
welcome remarks by the presi-
dent. Two vocal solos by Mrs.
Marguerite Mowbry of the I'M
perial Art Club, Address by Miss
Susie F. Jones who introduced
her out of town guests, from
Washington, D. c., Mrs. Estelle
Wilson, club and organization
worker; Mrs. Laura Mason,
prominent worker there; Mrs.
Cordelia Williams, Mrs. Lillian
Whitaker, both government
workers and Mrs. Cora Green,
Mr.. Wesley ]. Pittman, promi-
nent fraternal worker, and Mr.
/ Charles Gee of the same capac-
ity. Miss Jones then presented
Mrs. Alma B, Layton. Worthy
Grand Superior Of the Grans
Household n Ruth and principa
e. the atsR school of WILDWOOD
Va, and her very cl1ar1nin,
daughter, Louada A. Layton, also
a school teacher in Virginia. All
spoke elequently of their associa-
ton with Miss Jones. Most OF
these ladies are also club women
and were more than glad to be
guests of the Mass. State Union.
The Mass. State Union officers
were presented; remarks were
made by two of the past presi-
dents, Mrs. Olive Joseph and
Mrs. Florence Reggie Taylor,
who, incidentally, was at the
piano throughout the evening as
accompanist and cheer leader.
The social hour was held at the
beautifully decorated table in the
dining hall where Miss Jones
her gifts and continued
to tell the large gathering Of her
experiences in New York.
