Railroad Bonds Draw
Investors Who Fear
Excess Profits Tax
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Nov. 18.-The
mere thought of an excess profits
tax invoked shudders and some
lively demand for railroad bonds
in Wall Street this week.
The shudders came first, fol-
lowed quickly by the reflection by
many investors that railroad
bonds would be better situated
than other groups If such a tax
is enacted.
Current popularity of rail obli-
cations is due to two factors.
One is that the interest pay
ment on bonds and other bor-
rowed money is an expense that
is payable before taxes.
Second is the fact that in the
last war. provisions of the excess
profits tax as applied to the rail-
roads were not nearly so stringent
as in the case of most other in
dustries. This was due to the
heavy capitalization of most of
the carriers.
Volume Increases.
Buying in rails pushed the VOL
ume of exchange trading to its
highest point in 10 years at $25.-
053 900, par value.
Investment marketing channels
were badly clogged this week with
a rapidly accumulating pile-up of
unsold recent issues of state,
county and municipal bonds.
Big Issues Scheduled.
Next week, the schedule contains
only $77,559,321 of new issues
from the governments, according
to Daily Bond Buyer" The big
gest issues are Maryland State
Roads Commissions offering of
highway bonds and territory of
Hawaii's $14,OO0,0O0 of improve
ment bonds. both on Tuesday, and
New York City Housing Author
ity's $16.565 900 of temporary loan
notes Wednesday.

Stock Market Closes
Week With Highest
Average in 70 Years
By WilIiom D. Horeon
Axsociofad Press Eino nciol Writsy


NEW YORK, Nov. 49, You
can't keep a good bull market
down-that Just about summed
up the weeks trading in the stock
exchange.
At noon today. when the clos
ing bell sounded. the market on
average was at the highest level
in 20 years. Not since February
1881. according to the Associated
Press average of so stocks, have
prices been so high.
The markets behavior during
the week was far from spectacu-
lar. People who owned stocks,
though, were reluctant to sell
and there was enough money
floating around Wall Street to
pry out favored issues at higher
prices.
Stimulating News Cited.
There was a lotof news to stim-
ulate investors and spectators
and there was also a good-sized
batch of developments to leave a
distinctly sour taste. Traders
showed a preference for the good
news. They also showed a tend
ency to weigh the future with a
guarded optimism.
Railroad issues, and to lesser
degree steels, were the darlings
of the market. Automobile shares,
on the other hand, moved into a
far corner of the investment dog
house and stayed there.
Most of the weeks progress was
made Friday and during the short
~two-hour market today. EARLIER
in the week progress was slow at
best and on Thursday the final
score showed a small loss for the
bulls.
Net result Of the week, however,
was an addition Of nearly SIS bill
lion to the market value of all
stocks listed on the stock ex-
change.
Tax Action Uncertain.
"a AldJO1 AC1p ou4 Lag Gllc WCCh
was the widespread belief in the
financial district that the forth
coming session Of Congress will
not approve an excess profits tax.
Today the Associated Press av-
erage Of so stocks advanced 40
cents to $85 a share. a level last
touched in 1881. This compared
with $3.50 at the close of the
market a week ago.
Rails, oils, steels and chemicals
were among the favorites in the
two-hour session.
Volume expanded to 1850, 900
shares, which compared with a
meager 100000 shares on Novem-
ber 4, the last Saturday on which
the exchange was open.
New highs for 1850 or longer
were touched during the day by
around IS issues.

With the great majority of mem
bers of the House of Representatives
l have voted for the full appropria-
tions requested by the Truman Ad-
ministration for our land, sea and
air forces. I believed the United
States ought to be completely pre-
pared in case of an emergency and
further believed that maintenance of
powerful striking forces would aid
in containing the ambitions of Sow
let Russia. Congress did its part.
But what happened? Under the
misnamed unification program, the
fleet was put in mothballs, the
proposed carrier program wrecked,
Admiral Denfeld was made to walk
the plank for opposing the decimi-
nation of the Navy, and not a
single effective combat unit of
the Marine Corps, specially trained
for Pacific warfare, was beyond
the continental limits of the United
States.
AS a result, the Seventh Fleet, be-
latedly rushed to Korean waters,
had only one carrier and the Air
Force, in the crucial first hours, and
days, had to fight alone, back and
forth all the way from Japan and
through seasonal heavy rain and fog.
Thus, on the day the blow fell in
Korea, United States forces were
impotent to meet even
an initially minor act of aggression,
much less to serve as a psychological
deterrent to the ambitious war lords

Up to this time, President Tru-
man, although making the decision
that has thrown this country into
shooting war, has not seen fit to
consult with Congress. (Since this
was written the President has gone
before the Congress and the people
vie Radio-Editor)
1t is high time that the President
come before joint session of the
House and Senate-before the elected
representatives of the people-and
set forth in at least broad outline the
future policy of this government with
respect to foreign affairs.
The American people are also
entitled to know now, and not later
whether other so-called allied ma
tions are going to send ground
forces into Korea and not just
few planes or naval vessels. And
are any of these other nations 60
ing to help finance this war, or has
the billions of dollars the United
States expended on the British,
French, Turks and Italians been
poured down assorted ratholes?
AS this is written, more than 10
days after the fighting started in
Korea, not single word has come
from any source in Washington or
elsewhere, to even indicate whether
other members of the United Nations
propose to send land troops to aid
in the dirty end of the fighting.
If this is still democracy, and the
President therefore still accountable
to the people, the time is here when
the President should take the peo-
pie into his confidence.
The time for determination is at
hand. Have our huge gifts of money
and materials amounted only to an
Operation Rathole" and fair-weather
friends or have we determined ma
lions at our side, steadfast and ready |
to meet any eventuality?

To the Administration must go the

Congress Guilty, Too

Congress can never atone for all
the sins of omission and commission
of the Administration. 1t is too late
to erase all the i'll will saddled up
on this country through more than
five years of mistakes including
Potsdam; the backing of imperialistic
wars in Indonesia and Indo-China,
and such corrupt governments as
that of Nationalist China; a 125
million dollar handout to fascist Die
tator Peron; potatoes to Stain, and
so-called reciprocal trade treaties
that are betraying American farm
ers, labor and business.
And as I have repeatedly warned,
Congress is guilty of abjectly sur
rendering its Constitutional authority
in international affairs under the
cloak of tbi-partisan" foreign poll
cy, which amounted to nothing more
than rubber-stamp policy. With
respect to foreign affairs, the con-
rolling Democratic majority and all
too many high-ranking Republicans
in Congress have been almost as
subservient and ineffective as the
German Reichstag which stamped
ga" on everything Hitler said.
Therefore, the least Congress can
do now is to resume its authority and
put the brakes on the Administra- |
tons concentrations with undemocrat- |
ic governments. / sincerely believe |
that my freedom amendment, if |
adopted in future bills pertaining to
international affairs, will go far
toward accomplishing the purpose,
and would have won the friendship
of ordinary citizens the world over
had it been written into past legisla-
ton.
Perhaps if the Administration
hadn't stuffed old President Rhee
down the throats of South Kor-
cans, the following startling state
ment would never have appeared,
and American troops wallowing
and dying in the mud might have
had some help when it was needed
most.
On July 8, 1850, the Associated :
Press reported that 1t. Col. Thomas

years in Korea: "THE SOUTH

of Americans.
The fact that approximately 35 bill
