covery strength boosted the stock
market higher today for the third
straight session.
The heaviest Saturday buying

tinued through to the close. Trad
ing came to an estimated IL mil
lion shares, highest since Febru-
Iary 3.
Gains hit a So top, and there
were frequent plus signs around
the 81 level. Losses of a few cents
were scattered throughout the
list. but only in the radio-tele-
vision group did they go lower.
There the bottom went under So a
share. but there was little if any
activity in that sphere.
Steels. rails and motors were
most active, with the aircrafts
coming to life in the final hour,
Backwardness in radio-Tv can
be attributed to reports of bulges
in inventories, consumers turning
thumbs down on the higher-priced
ITV sets and some softness in the
earnings reports.
Upside stocks included Santa
Fe, United States Steel, Republic
Steel. Pennsylvania Railroad,
Texas Co., Standard Oil (New
Jersey, Chrysler, Goodyear, Ken
necott Copper. Homestake Mining
j. I. Case, Boeing, Douglas Air
craft. United Aircraft, Du Pont

Archbishop 0'BoyIe
Asks Action at Once
|0n Food for India

The Most Rev Patrick A.
O'Boyle. Catholic Archbishop Of
Washington, today asked for i'm
mediate shipment of food to the
starving people of India.
1T is an abysma1 failure in the
observance of the precepts Of
Christian charity to have the
goods of this world and to with
hold them from those in need"
the archbishop said.
He spoke at q communion
breakfast at the Willard Hotel
following special mass at st.
Patrick's Church for 1000 mem
bers of the archdiocese Ladies'
Retreat League.
Archbishop O'Boyle said letters
he has received from bishops in
India give evidence of "the ter
rible plight of their people, who
are actually starving for lack Of
food"
Flour, powdered milk and dried
eggs are being rushed to them
by the war relief service of the
National Catholic Welfare Con-
ference. he said, but added:
"A crisis affecting tens of mil
lions of helpless human beings
cannot be met by voluntary relief
alone.
"As Catholics we cannot sane
ton that differences of opinion
between nations should cause our
charity to grow cold. AS
mature men and women and citi-
zens, ask you to do all possible
to see that the surplus of food
given by God to our bountiful and
fruitful land be shared with those
Starving in India, who must leave
their homes and villages and
trudge the roads in search Of
bread"

Profit Control

In his midyear message to Con
grcss, President Truman came out
flatly for government control of all
business profits This, he said, should
be the basis for regulating prices.
Here is a concept that, if it were
ever adopted, would have cataclys-
mic influence on the American econ
omy and the American system of
government.
First Of all, profit control would
destroy the incentive which makes
for growth, progress, and higher liv-
ing standards for the people. Why
should a man or an enterprise take
a chance when, if he is successful, his
profit will be strongly limited, where
as, if he fails, he will have to bear
the whole loss?
Second, profit control would make
it next to impossible for small bust
ness to grow 1t would not be per-
mtted to earn the money that could
be used for expansion.
Third. profit control would have the
worst possible effect on all the pro
ductive resources of the country at
a time in world affairs when the
whole free world depends upon
Americas productive strength for
survival.
Fourth, profit control would in
evitably lead to an economy which
would be entirely dominated by gov
eminent. That sort of economy is
but one step short Of totalitarian.
In free enterprise system, we al
ways have profit control-through
competition. Arbitrary, political
profit control could ruin us.-Indus-

Old Stone House Rich In History,
But Is Forgotten In Modern Rash!

office (the first in Garrett County,
established in 1929 and a store in the
inn building. Each evening the wagon
yard was full of four and six horse
teams, their horses left in the traces.
One enclosure might contain 10 mules
and another 1000 hogs or cattle be-
ing driven to market. In the bar room
the wagoners, the glamor boys of the
Pike, sang songs, told stories, and
cursed the railroad Corn whiskey was
to 5 cents glass. When bed time
came, the wagoners put their bedding
! on the floor and slept in a semi-circle,
their feet to the fire, the CRATE Of
which was large enough to bum six
bushels of coal
In the dining room on the first floor
stood a long table, which is still in
the inn, where the stage coach pas
sengers ate. The board would be set
with mutton, venison, wild turkey,
pheasant, and brook trout. These din
ners were fifty cents for the stage
coach passengers, but drivers and
wagoners and others got theirs much
cheaper.
Many famous guests sat down to
these dinners. Four presidents were
entertained there: President jackson,
President Taylor, President Polk and
President-elect Harrison. Henry Clay
frequently stopped here, and Jennie
Lind, the Swedish nightengale, is said
to have stayed at the inn when she
was making her triumphal tour. She
was accompanied by her manager, P.
T. Barnum.
Naturally, many legends have
grown up around a house which has
seen as much life as Old Stone House
Some of these are said to be true;
others nobody really knows about; all
of them are fascinating.
A man is said to have been killed
in one of the bedrooms. The spots Of
blood still mark the floor; they can
not be erased. Up until a few years
ago people still bothered the owners
with requests to dig on the property
for gold coin which is supposed to
have been buried there at the time
of the revolution.
The most intriguing story is about
a beautiful, heavily yelled woman,
with quantities of expensive luggage
bearing foreign labels, who got off
the stage to spend the night at Stone
House. She had her supper brought to
her room and did not once set foot
outside Of her door The next morning
one Of the little servant boys brought
her hot water. But she had disap-
peared All of her baggage remained,
but there was no trace of her. The
woods were searched as thoroughly
as possible, but she was never found;
and to this day no one knows who she
was

many a good tale but we are too hur-
ried to listen 1t sits four-square in
