the President did not ask for price
controls or rationing.
This was the markets first esti-
mate of the Presidents proposals:
Commerce and industry were
guaranteed peak production for
the indefinite future. Profits, al
ready running at record levels,
might expand still more.
Higher taxes, of course, would
chop down profits but even with
an excess profits tax, stockholders
could look forward to a generous

taxes were inevitable, they prob
ably would not go into effect until

Stock Values Boosted
More Than s. Billion
In Week S Recovery
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. July 22.-The
stock market had its best week
In more than 10 years.
Well over So billion was added
during the week to the market
value of listed stock. War Baby
stocks fattened.
Railroad stocks, which have
acted like the markets poor rela-
tions off and on for a long time,
climbed to the highest average
level since late 1948.
The advance was startling
about-face. After our interven-
ton in the Korean war at the
end of June the market took the
longest slide down the price scale
in 10 years and continued to go
down, with occasional Interrupt
tionS, until last Tuesday.
At the worst roughly $8.5 bill
lion was hacked off the paper
value of listed stocks. There was
a minor recovery before this week.
The weeks rise took deep bite
out of the post-Korean drop-in
the neighborhood of SO per cent.
The market got off to a poor
start Monday. Prices dropped in
the morning and stayed down
There was no trace, however. of
the frantic buying and selling
which had kept the exchange
boiling.
Rally Started Tuesday.
On Tuesday the market turned
In the best score since May, 1948.
President Truman was scheduled
to deliver a message to Congress
on the war the next day and ad-
vance notices from Washington
held the promise that his recon-
mendations would not be too
severe.
In addition the war news from
Korea took heartening turn for
the better. United States troops,
on the run before a powerful
enemy for days, were finally able
to make stand.
On Wednesday, before the Pres
ddent's message was actually de-
livered, the market paused. The
first shock of the Presidents pro-
posals, in fact, gave the market a
momentary sinking spell. Re-
covery was quick and decisive.
On Thursday prices kept on roll
ing ahead, with rail stocks setting
8 fast pace.
Friday demand subsided al
though rails continued to display
q strong undertone.
$40 Billion Is Surprise.
The Presidents request for $40
billion to pay for the Korean war
and to guard against aggression
elsewhere was something of a !

Well, the first International Carni-
val is now history, and it's no secret
that it proved to be a tremendous
success, exceeding the fondest ex-
pectations of its sponsors, the Jack
son Street Community Council and
associated groups.
That the Carnival resulted in such
a success was, of course, due to the
work and planning of Mrs Ruth
Manca, Nat Kuznetz, Ralph Shimbo
and many others too numerous to
mention. all of whom contributed
their energies and ideas toward the
community enterprise.
This column salutes all the public
spirited individuals who gave so gen
erously of their time and ability in
order to put on a show which none
of us who saw it will ever forget.

area can indeed work together har-

CUCL News Bureau - Continued

fifteen minutes or a half-hour at
dancing to good orchestra music, be-

ton Tickets could be sold. for eX-

dances or so. We figure that a lot
OF people who wouldn't spend two
or three dollars for a whole evening
OF dancing, might put up fifty cents
or so for a shorter period of dancing
Some of the hep-cats might put on a
good show, too. so spectator tickets
might also be sold Anyhow, it's

o THIS N THAT

Still on the Carnival theme. we
must remark that little old jackson
Street never before saw such a
crowd as watched the opening pro
cession last Thursday evening. The
thr0ng was estimated to have been
from $4,000 to 100000 people, and
frankly, we don't believe that either
the sponsors or the police depart
ment were expecting such a huge
gathering for what started out to be
a neighborhood affair To our
way of thinking, the International
