Stock Market Turns
Lower
In Quiet DEALINGS
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Stocks
sagged today in a quiet market
that dragged along with fractional
losses.
There was a scattering of plus
and minus signs at the beginning
Of trading, but this soon changed
into one-way downward glide.
There was a flicker OF buying
interest at times in both the mo-
tor and, steel groups. 1t was not
sustained.
Rails we're inactive and def
nitely lower. Radio television
issues, the big favorite of last
week. dwaddled along mostly on
the losing side by a small margin.
The overall slowness in the
morning was attributed to refusal
of traders to take a stand pending
action by the White House in the
coal strike which spread rapidly
throughout most of the fields.
Announcement that President
Truman had invoked the Taft
Hartley Law brought no immedi-
ate market reaction.
Chrysler, closed by strike, was
off more than a point at times,
General Motors, whose directors
meet today after the market close,
crawled to a new high by a frac-
ton and then backed and filled
for long periods.
Lower were United States Steel,
Bethlehem Steel, Republic Steel,
Montgomery Ward. Santa Fe,
Southern Pacific, Chesapeake &
Ohio. Nickel Plate. Standard Oil
New Jersey. Texas Co., Kenne-
colt Copper, J. l. Case, United
Aircraft, Emerson Radio, Ameri-

Stocks in the curb market were

Most Steel Companie!
Have Enough Coal
For Several Weeks
hY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Feb. 6.-M Most
steel mills have enough coal to
keep operating at high level for
several weeks, the magazine Steel
said today.
But some important producers
have short supplies and may be
forced to cut production within a
week or so unless the outlook i'm
proves" the national metalwork-
ing magazine asserted.
Several blast furnaces already
have been banked, but ingot opera
tions have been only slightly af-
fected so far. However. declines
at certain producing points are
being offset by increases at
others
AS to the immediate future of
steel producing. that depends on
developments in the coal-labor
controversy, reported the maga-
zine.
The coal shortage and threat
Iened steel curtailments have
stepped up more protective Or
ders" by buyers, the magazine
declared, to build up inventories
to a pre-steel strike level. 1t
added:
Manufacturers fear being
caught with short supplies should
steelmaking be sharply curtailed.
Woodworking operations would be
more quickly depressed by a cut
back in steel shipments today
than was the case last October
when the steelworkers went on
strike

under steady pounding from commits
sion house. selling today. The market
opened weak and STAYED that way.
good number Of resting orders waited
under the market, giving prices support
on the way down. This made for an
active trade. All cereals were easy, with
weakness.
Wheat near the end of the first hour
was Ib-lN. lower, March 212N; corn
was sS-1b lower, March 1.o6, and oats
were 1B-2b lower, March 2.27, and
lard was 10 to II cents a hundred pounds
lower, March, 1920.
Traders said confidence in the markets
price structure appeared to have been at
least temporarily shaken by the events of
the past few weeks. Among these were:
Expiration. of the Government loan
period on wheat. reports some corn had
gotten out OF condition and might be
sold under going prices, failure Of export
business to develop in volume, and some
conversational dissatisfaction with the
Harvey Williams OF Harris. Upham a,
Co: said. Speculative confidence and the
ability of the Government to maintain

ures has been severely shaken. The
obvious faliacy Of the argument that A
surplus is not q surplus when owned by
the Government and held OF the market
is being exposed"

Stains Successors
Cincinnati Ennuirerl

Cincinnati Enquirer)
Whenever leadership and authority in a great state
into the possession of single individual, his
survival becomes political matter of the highest
Importance The state of his health and his personal
the days of Htlers greatest power world history hing
ed, or seemed to hinge, his continuance.
This lead to many fabulous rumors Before World
War it often declared with the utmost gravity,
that Hitler dead, that his place taken by a
double who resembled him closely to deceive I'll
but handful of intimates The sort of rumor has
been gaining currency respect to Josef Stain The
latest of those has the Soviet dictator seriously
ill and often confined to bed but still functioning
as head of the state and making all vital decisions
1t may indeed be So Stain is TO- and he has
not had life of rest and relaxation But those who
anticipate that his death will bring runous rivalry
among his lieutenants and perhaps counter
luton probably guilty of wishfu thinking
1t is true that Lenins death led to bitter rivalry
that only restored with Trotskys defeat exile and
assassination But it does not follow that the Poburo
today has any such cleavage that. Nor we
suppose that Mootov and Malenkov will be rivals in
that sense
Any conclusion is largely guess But in the abb
of proof to the contrary it would be wise to pro-
coed in the belief that Stains health is not the pivot
on which current world history turns 1t seems very
improbable that his personal prestige and
power can be transferred to any one individual And
it appears that when they do take his several
successors will continue with the broad contours Of
the Stain policy unchanged.

Senator Glen H. Taylor, a Democrat, that causes
Democrats to wither and die?"
In the record theren be laughter in parenthesis
but the next round, hold is pretty serious.
Senator zales N. Ecton of Montana asked Enge-
breth if Alaskans willing to accept the financial
burden of statehood and the ceraintobe passed new
taxes.
"Oh yes,' said Engebreth, I'VE can have maxi
mum state a minimum state. Well get along with
minimum state and contrary to the testimony OF
other witnesses don't feel we'll have to have addi-
tional taxes"
Engebreth didn't explain what he meant by a
minimum state Is it state with poor roads, decrepit
schools and shabby services?
Would it be less than have a Territory?
That would be high price to pay for an empty
name-statehood under HR 331.

Military Merry-Go-Round

President Truman and Secretary
of Defense johnson sat together at
four meals, did not appear overly
cordial Closest Truman crony
on the trip was Secretary of the
Treasury John Snyder "a. "sOne
great use for the army in war;
time" said Army Chief of Staff
General Joe Collins, sis to prevent
espionage and sabotage during
bombing attacks on the U. s. A."
In other words, the military plan
ners contemplate that, for the first
time since the war of 1872, the
Continental United States will be
bombed . The Army has foul
divisions in Japan, two in Europe,
one battalion in Alaska, no ground
troops in the Canal Zone
The Air Force is now more dis
gruntled than the Navy was last
iall They complain of being woe
fully lacking in planes Navy
morale is on the up. Most Navy
men have accepted their chief job
as submarine offense, antisub de-
tense and carrying troops-if troops
are still carried in the next war
Those who made the greatest
impression on the business exec
utives were General William E
Kepner, Commander at Eglin Field,
William Webster, Director of the
Office Of Research and Develop
ment, and Marx Leva, Assistant
Secretary of Defense Those
who made the least impression
we're Hubert Howard, head of the
Munitions Board, and new Secre-
AIRY of the Army, Frank Pace.

PARKING IS PROHIBITED
ON BOAT KARB0R WHARF

Acting harbormaster Arnold Hen
erickson warned today that cars
are allowed on the approach wharf
at the small boat harbor only for
loading and unloading. f7t
He said that so many cars have
been parked there lately that those
wishing to load and unload on the
wharf have been unable to do so.
Its hazard in case of fire,
all those cars parked there, III he
said. THE fire truck would have
a hard time getting on the wharf"
Hendrickson said he has issued
warnings to drivers who left their
cars parked and informed the pol
ice that cars are parking on the
wharf.
