Stock Market Advance
Fa|ters, but Trading
Is Heaviest Of Year
By Roder Wineet
Associoted Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Ad-
vancing stock prices faltered to-
day, but the pace of trading was
at the heaviest rate of the year.
Leading issues were spread out
in a mixed price pattern that ex-
tended about a point in either
direction.
They settled down in that man
ner after a brief midmorning
rally that extended gains made
yesterday. On average the market
stands only a trifle below the
highest level of 1949.
Large blocks of stock were
traded continuously from the
opening bell. Commonwealth &
Southern burst into a new high
for the year. up ls at 5l4 with
trading in blocks of from 10000 to
125, 900 shares. United Corp. also
was active with large blocks
changing hands at "A, un-
changed. Utilities as a whole
stand at the highest point since
last November.
Brokers felt that the market is
digesting the gains made Tuesday,
with trading concentrated in Sc
lected issues. All of the major
groups we're active, including rails,
steels, motors, oils and chemicals.
Some of the gold mining shares
were higher after recent back
Wardness.
Stocks on the higher side in
cluded Union Pacific, Southern
Railway. Youngstown Sheet &
Tube, Consolidated Natural Gas,
American Smelling. Mcintyre
Porcupine, Dome Mines, Allied
Chemical, Westinghouse Electric,
Eastern Air Lines and United
States Gypsum.
Tending lower were Bethlehem
Steel, Santa Fe, Nickel Plate,
Consolidated Edison, Homestake
Mining, Du Pont, Eastman Kodak,
Philip Morris, Standard Oil New
Jersey, Goodyear, Sears Roebuck
and Douglas Aircraft.
Rail loans advanced in the bond
market but a number of selected
industrials gained. Trading was
only moderately active. In the
over r-the-counter market United
States Governments were quiet
and virtually unchanged.

CAN U. s. INVESTIGATE U. NJ?

Let's take peep at the protest of the
Acting Secretary General of the United
Nations, American born Byron Price,
complaining about testimony before a
Senate subcommittee to effect that Com
munist agents put undue pressure upon
some of the U. N. staff.
Mr.. Price points out that the u. N.
cannot hope to be an international agency
if it is to be answerable to committees of
national legislatures. This is undoubtedly
correct but we are not certain that the
purpose of the committee inquiry is to
subject the U. N. to the authority of Con-
gress.
If Mr.. Price is protesting against the
committees action in taking the testimony
of witness, regardless of his statements,
then he is wrong. The U. N. has nothing
to do with any inquiry conducted by any
agency of the United States. However, as
Mr.. Price declared, the internal affairs
of the U. N. are no business of the sub
committee.
This statement is subject to the cor
rection that the government of the United
Staets through any agency, has the full
right to seek information about the U. N.
for the purpose of determining the policy
of the United States toward the U. N.
It does not; have the. power, however, to
compel employees of the U. N. to appear
and testify.
