back to normal. Mr.. Scolastict
said.
An operator spokesman in st
Clairsville said the labor ranks
were shot through with COM
plants about welfare fund mis-
management and with demands
for full-time work on the part OF
95 per cent Of the workers.
The first miners pension pay
ments were made September 9,
1948. more than two years after
the 1946 contract agreement
which set up the welfare and re-
tirement fund. The trustees
John L. Lewis. Ezra Van Horn of
Cleveland, and Senator Bridges,
Republican, of New Hampshire
made the pensions retroactive to
the date of retirement. thus CIV
ing rise to the stories of huge first
checks still remembered in the
mining towns.
More than so per cent of the
$50, 0,366,264 spent for pensions in
the year ending June 80, 1949,
represented retroactive payment.
according to the testimony Of the
fund director, Miss Josephine
Roche, before the Senate Bank
ing Committee August /. Said

Stocks Rise Fractions
To More Than Point;
Volume Expands
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-Buying
strength came into the stock mar
ket today and pushed prices up by
fractions to well over a point.
The buying was we'll distributed
throughout the list with few ex-
ceptions. The volume of trading
expanded on the rise.
Railroads stepped forward by
fractions to around a point with
Illinois Central hitting new high
for the year.
Oils also were favorites with
Richfield attaining new high on
the movement, steels and motors
gathered their share of attention
with fractional advances through
out.
Motion pictures Jagged behind
and showed small losses. Some
Of the mail order and retail issues
turned down.
The market had been declin-
ing for three days from the recent
forward surge that placed stocks
on average at seven-month high
level. During the sell off this
week, trading diminished mark
edly in contrast to the previous
1000, ,000-share days that were
frequent. -
This morning the opening was
mixed and trading was moderate.
But as soon as the price curve
started turning upward, there was
an immediate buying interest ap-
parent. Volume expanded to the
best rate of the week.
Brokers have expected irregu-
lar set backs in prices as result
Of profit taking and year-end tax
selling. All of this has been
easily absorbed so far and is rap
idly running its course. Talk is
beginning about "the Christmas
rebound" and the new year
rally" That's the high tone of
ontimism in Wall Street.

| In Murder Takes
Oath osCitizen
BY the Associated Press

SCRANTON. Pa, Mar. g.
While members of his family wept
a graying man of so, who once
was under a death sentence for
murder, repeated the oath of
United States citizenship.
The oath, taken before Federal
Judge Albert Watson yesterday
by Anthony Sperduti of Sayre,
Pa. marked the end of his long
fight to regain responsibility.
Sperduti was sentenced to
death in the electric chair after
he was convicted of first-degree
murder in February, 1923. The
late Gov. Clifford Pinchot COM
muted that sentence to life inn
prisonment, and in 1947 Gov.
James H. Duff granted a full
pardon.
Last month Judge Watson
granted Sperduti's citizenship ap-
plication over the objection Of
the immigration and Naturaliza-
ton Service.
Sperduti's wife. daughter and
son-in-law wept unashamedly as
he took the oath. A native Of
Italy, he came to this country in

Bloom S Death Delays
Defense Bills in House

Consideration of bills to estab-
lish a radar network around the
United States and a 3,000-mile-
long guided missile test range was
postponed today by House leaders
because of the death of Chairman
Bloom of the Foreign Affairs
Committee.
In accordance with custom, this
afternoons session will be short
and will be devoted to eulogies of
Mr. Bloom.
Tomorrow, the House will re-
sumo action on national defense
measures.
1t passed and sent to the Sen
ate yesterday a bill to give perma-
nent status to the secrecy-cloaked
Central Intelligence Agency, which
has been operating under a Presi-
Dental order.
The House also approved a bill
to create the position of Under
secretary of Defense and sent it
to the Senate. The bill specifies
that no person who has served as
an officer in a regular branch Of
the armed services during the 10
years preceding his appointment
shall be eligible for the job.
