Boys Down in Dull
Short Session
by the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-An ad-
vancing stock market begged down
today in typically slow Saturday
trading.
The general undertone of the
market was steady. Price changes
were small and pretty we'll divided
between advances and declines. A
faint downward tendency developed
near the close.
The market scored the best gain
Of the week-and incidentally, one
of the best of the past year-on
Thursday the day after the Presi-
dent delivered his State of the Union
message. Demand carried over into
Fridays trading, but today tapered
away.

Brokerage quarters suggested that
the letup in buying power was a
normal sequence to the previous
forward move.
Volume today, 1t was added, was
too small to indicate a decisive
trend either way. Turnover was at

Coca Cola dashed ahead of the
general run of prices with a gain

reports.

time Senator Wherry of Nebraska,
now the Republican floor leader, led
fight to send the nomination back
to committee on the ground that
Mr.. Acheson had rebuked Gen. Mac
Arthur about occupation policies in
Japan. The Wherry move was beat
en-, sc to IL. and only Senator
Wherry voted against the confirma-
ton.
Many Praise Selection.
Many members of Congress, in
Guiding some Republicans, praised
the selection of Mr.. Acheson as
Secretary.
Representative Eaton Of New
Jersey, ranking Republican of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
said he thinks Mr.. Acheson will
make a good Secretary of State"
Cordell Hull, who was Secretary
OF State when Mr.. Acheson entered
the department as an Assistant Sec
rotary in lo41. praised the appoint
ment as "a splendid one from every
viewpoint"
Mr.. Acheson has been practicing
law here since his retirement as
Undersecretary on June 80, 1947, but
has kept in close touch with Gov
eminent affairs as member of the
Hoover Commission on Government
Reorganization.
Webb Served in Marine Corps,
Mr.. Webb, who will be his No. 2
man in the department, is a 42-year-
old North Carolinian relatively new
IN Government service. A major in
the Marine Corps during the war
he was in law practice here when
made an assistant to the late o. Max
Gardner, then Undersecretary of the
Treasury, in 1916. After six months
in that job he was made budget
director.
MIR. Pace, 36-year-old native OF

partisan foreign policy in the last
Republican Congress.
AS an Assistant Secretary of State
under Cordell Hull-when his duties
for a time were mainly liaison
with Congress-and later as Under
secretary under James F. Byrnes
and Gen. Marshall, Mr.. Acheson
helped to build up the bipartisan
policy.
Consistent Truman Supporter.
But in addition to the fact that
he has Republican critics in Con-
gress, Mr.. Acheson is a party Dem
ocrat who consistently supported
MIR. Truman in the presidential
election last fall. 1t Is possible
that he might be groomed as sue
cessor to Mr.. Truman. Gen. Mar
shall and Mr.. Lovett completely di-
vorced themselves from domestic
politics in their handling of foreign
affairs.
One Of the things Mr.. Acheson
may be questioned about by his Re-
publican critics Is his relations with
Alger Hiss.
Mr.. Hiss, a former State Depart
ment official, is under indictment on
a perjury charge in connection with
alleged f1lchine of secret State De-
partment documents, copies of which
were found in pumpkin on the

West Europe Regrets
Marshall Resignation,
But AppIauds Acheson
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Jan. 8.-Western Euro
pean leaders yesterday expressed re-
greet at the retirement of Secretary
Of State Marshall and promised CO.
operation with his successor, Dean
Acheson.
Britain's Foreign Secretary Bevin
said Gen. Marshall may be assured
we shall not rest" until the European
Recovery Program is brought to
complete fruition."
Mr.. Bevin added in an official
statement that Mr.. Acheson lis no
stranger to us and he, too, may be
assured of our continued co-ouera-
ton" OF Gen. Marshall, Mr.. Bevin
said: "This great American. who did
as much as any one man to win the
war, has since devoted his whole ef-
forts to restoring the wrecked econ
omy of Europe and to establishing
firm foundations for world peace"
He referred to Gen. Marshall as
"one of the great United States Sec
retaries of State"
Friend of Britain.
High British government officials
privately said Mr.. Acheson was con-
sidered friend of Britain"
Western Europe generally received
the news of the State Department
changes with the hope that there
would be no fundamental shift in
American foreign policy.
French officials said they re-
GREETED Gen. Marshall's illness. They
expressed surprise that w. Averell
Hartman, rowing ambassador for
the ERP, or Chief Justice Vinson
had not been appointed to succeed
him.
Italian Premier Alcide de Gasperi
said Gen. Marshall's resignation will
have no effect on the carrying out
Of present policies. Mr.. de Gasperi
said he remembered we'll the
'friendliness and good will toward
Italy" shown by Mr.. Acheson in the
past.
The Czech radio broadcast the
commentary of the left-wing agency
Telepress that Mr.. Acheson was a
personal friend of President Tru-
man and probably could not be
reached by "warmongers." The
government radio said Gen. Mar
shall's resignation was mo surprise"
in view of his long illness.

changes, but there was regret in
Western Germany at the departure
of Gen. Marshall.
Hans Richter, head of trade
unions in the state of Hesse, said
he hoped Gen. Marshall's resigna-
ton will not mean a loss of aid
for Germany"
The Soviet-licensed newspaper
Der Morgen in Berlin said Gen.
Marshall's resignation was no sur
prise because, the paper said, he
had believed that Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey, the Republican candidate,
would be the winner in last Novem-
ber's election, and had split with
President Truman over Wilson's
once-projected mission to Moscow.
The changes in the State Depart
ment touched off speculation in the
French press about a possible new
American move to reach an under
standing with Russia.
Most newspapers expressed belief
President Truman will now take a
more direct role in elaboration of
American foreign policy. This, they
said, may herald some new gesture
such as, Mr.. Humans |abortive. plan

These authorities believe that
the thieves might be combina-
ton of philatelists and profess
sional gangsters. In all cases re-

plan >of entry and safe-cracking

A more daring brand of stamp
banditry occurred in Hollywood,
Cal.
This was daytime affair. The
robbers, evidently philatelists,
entered a stamp shop, tied up the
manager and employees and then
made off with $4,000 worth of
rare stamps and gold coins. While
the store was being ransacked a
customer entered. He, too, re-

Another stamp robbery in New
York recently netted the thieves
$4,000 in rare us. stamps.
What do the thieves do with
the stamps? They have to sell
them to stamp dealers or collec-
tors in order to realize cash. And
that's where the ASDA comes in.
AS soon as the ASDA is mott
fled of robbery it Immediately
notifies it's 500 members all over
the country to be on the lookout
for those specific items. Some
times the dealers place small
identifying marks on the backs
of the stamps, This information
is also relayed to ASDA men,

With the postal and federal
authorities on their trail and
with the leading stamp dealers
posting watch. the thieves find
it very difficult to get rid of the
loot. Sometimes the crooks are
forced to hold on to the stamps
for years before attempting to
dispose of them. But the ASDA
and police are ready to pounce
on them if they try to sell in this
country.
