Stock market prices moved
right on up to another new high
for 1950-51 before the day was
finished. An even wider advance
was made Tuesday, and another
new high was established Wednes-

age of so stocks that day stood at
the high point of the week, $93 80,
the best level since october 8,
1880.
The Federal Reserve after the
market closed Tuesday raised
margin requirements to rs per
cent from the current so per cent.
On Wednesday the market
hesitated during the first half
hour and then took off to close
at the new high.
Brokers' Loans Small.
In Wall street it was, quickly
pointed out that brokers' loans to-
day amount to less than one per
cent of the market value of all
listed securities on the New York
Stock Exchange. The margin re-
strictions apply to that small per-
centage. Back in the wild days of
1929 brokers' loans reached as high
as II per cent of stock values.
The stock market got active en-
couragement from a number of
factors, principally imitation.
One of the best imitation yard
sticks-higher prices-was pre-
sented by the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics' wholesale price index which
climbed to a new all-time high
for the tenth straight week and
stood at 1877 per cent of the 1926
average. That was up 2.3 per cent
in the past four weeks, up 1879
per cent since the start of the
Korean war, and up Is per cent
over a year ago.

We are apt to think Of an antelope
as an animal which is somewhat
smaller than q white-tailed deer,
and which is a very fast runner, as
well as an expert Jumper.
That description fits many an
telopes, but these animals are closer
to cattle than they are to deer
Certain antelopes are larger than
cattle, and others are smaller than
goats.
Africa is the chief home Of an
Itelopes, but a few kinds are native
to Asia. North America has one
kind, the pronghorn, which I plan
to write about In the early future.
Today I shall remark only that 1t is
a very fast runner!
The largest Of all antelopes is the
Gland. Sometimes 1t grows to a
height of almost six feet at the
shoulders! It is taller than a huge

1T is a curious fact that the same
players who are most optimistic in

ones who "cry" the loudest when
things go wrong in the play.
Take the following case for ex-
ample. The slam contract here was

could play it "any old way!"

The bidding:

1heart Pass 2spades Pass
5 clubs Pass 3hearts Pass
6hearts Pass Pass Pass
It was probably because Of the
part-score that North and South bid
as they did, to investigate slam pos
sibilities.
West, deciding against the lead
of the 'unbid suit" diamonds,
opened a trump. East's play of the
jack cleared up the trump situa-
tion for South, who led a spade toI
dummy and tried out the diamond
finesse. West took the trick and led
another trump.
South, seeing that he would have
to ruff only one club In dummy
(and throw one on a high spade) ),
cashed the two remaining diamonds,
discarding a club from the board,
then tried to cash the ace and king
of clubs. West ruffed in, however,
and that was that.
Declarer's plan of ruffing a club
was all right as far as it went, but
q different line could be investi-
gated first, with relatively no risk
That line was to win the second
trump lead latter West had taken
his diamond king) in dummy, then
to cash the second spade honor
and ruff a spade. With both de-
tenders following suit to these
rounds of spades, the 4-3 break Of
that suit would be assured, and
South would have a laydown. He
should lead trump to the heart
king, ruff still another spade with
his own last trump, then return to
the boards club ace and discard
his last club loser on the established
fifth spade. This would leave
South with three high cards-twoI
diamonds and the king of clubs.

Than Fact That Atom Secrets Were Lost

Communist and the first wife Of
Gerhart Eisler!
Her book reveals a compli-
Gated personality. the roots of
whose motives remain partially
obscure, battling even her own
efforts at self-analySis. 1t is,
however, clear that until she
discovered that home was a
specific place in America. she
never had one; not in child
hood; not in a succession of
marriages: not in a religion; and
having no feeling or concept of
home. she had no feeling or
concept of loyalty or betrayal.
A Costello reveals himself
at first sight as dubious-not
some one you would invite into
your family. But the Com
munist member of the under
world often appeals as some
one you would put your hand
in the fire for.
Until we realize this sad truth,

the Good Neighbor policy is es-

terms of size and strength, no
longer have cause to fear or
distrust the great and growing
republic of the North.

Deal Defended by Casey.
The former Congressman has
defended the deal as clean and
honorable" Neither the Senate
Banking Subcommittee nor the
Commerce Committee has said
there was anything illegal about
the complicated transaction in
which Mr.. Casey and II associates
took part.
Mr.. Casey's. own profit was
$250,000 from a $4,000 invest
ment, he has testified. The group
reported the total profits of $2.8
as capital gains and paid
a Is per cent tax instead of the
much higher income tax.
The Banking subcommittee
headed by Senator Fulbright, and
the Senate Expenditures Commit
tee, of which another Arkansas
Democrat, Senator Mcclellan, is
chairman, also expect to make
further inquiries into some aspects
of the transaction involving Mr
Casey.
The American Overseas Tanker
Corp, which Mr.. Casey headed
had a capitalization of 100000
obtained $40 million loan, bought
five tankerS from the Maritime
Commission in 1947. put them
under Panamanian registry, leased
them to the Standard Oil Co. OF
New Jersey and then sold them
last year with subsequent profits
of about $2.8 million.
Senator Fulbright remarked
that the subcommittee may want
to ask Mr.. Casey why, in testi-
mony on March IL, he said he did
not recall the names of all stock
holders in the tanker company.

Those names were revealed
Thursday night by the Maritime
Administration. The report to be
submitted to Senator johnson to-

holders. the name of the insur-

loan was obtained and other ship

Dorothy Thompson:

Some aspects of the televised
hearings of the Kefauver come
mittee recall a remark attrib-
uted to a charwoman curing
the air attacks on London: The
bombin' does take yer mind off
the war;
For, while thousands of per-

sets for the fascination of see
ing persons accused of fabulous
racketeering. another case has
attracted relatively little atten-
ton. with the .Kefauver hear
ings pushing off the front pages
the trial of atom bomb spies.
Yet, the activities of gamblers
are surely of less import than
that trusted Government en-
ployes gave away information
which may one day cause the
death of millions of Americans,
and that the security regula-
tions at the Los Alamos project
were childishly easy to circum-
vent.
It is slowly coming to light
that scientists such as Klaus
Fuchs, Allen Num- May and
many Americans and Canadians
associated in spy rings gave the
atom bomb to country and
cause which they knew were
bent on obliterating all the ma
tions and social systems except
the one they served.
And it is surely less significant
that Costellos should remain at
large, to satisfy for profit a
widespread love of gambling,
than that a physicist who de-
livered an atomic formula to a
Russian agent stiN teaches in
q Midwestern university, and
another who headed espionage
efforts against radiation labora-
torres IN CallfOfnla Should still

The combination of admins

ceding Pearl Harbor.
There is still public reluc-
