60 stocks closed the week at $92.s0
40 cents higher than last week,
and $3.40 above the years low.
There was no big overall influ-
ence at work this week. The pos
slbility of peace in Korea was ever
present but Gen. Marshall's un-
heralded trip to Korea was just
a headline to Wall Street.
What may prove to be a highly
significant development was q
widening discussion in brokerage
houses of the possibility that de-
flation is taking a stronger hold
on the Nations economy than is
generally realized. Wall Street, OF
course, always thinks in terms OF
the ultimate impact on profits and
dividends.
On the evidence of def1ation
here is the way the Wall Street
discussion goes:
The Federal Government is
making every effort to crack in
fiation. which means bringing on
def1ation.
Price Stabilizers already are
pointing to lower retail price pos
ISibilitieS this fall and winter.
Price War Cited.
There will be a growing pinch
in the change from civilian to
military production and in the
application of controls, as evi-
|denced by temporary layoffs in
automobile factories, meat pack
ing plants, and slow downs or lay
offs in plants making electrical
appliances.
Price reductions started by
elimination of Federal restrictions
on price hxing under State fair
trade laws brought on a big in
crease in consumer buying in some
centers.
The trend in home construction
is down and business loans have
declined in four weeks out of the
last seven.
Prices of commodities in futures
markets have been on the down.
grade for more than a month.
And wholesale commodity prices
(as measured by the AP index
have fallen for six straight weeks.
If that array looks formidable,
Wall street sources also point out,
there are mitigating facts and con-
clusions.
Personel income in April was at
an annual rate 10 per cent higher
than in 1850, the Commerce De-
partment reported That means
sustained consumer purchasing
power.
So far as business itself is con-
cerned, there are Wall street
guesses that profits won't be off
more than 20 per cent nor divi-
dends reduced by more than
10 per cent, as things look now,
which would make 1851 a pretty
good year. ~,

Stock Market Climbs
Slightly Higher for
Second Straight Week
By Roder Wineet
Asseeiassd Press FinoneioI Writer

NEW YORK, June 8. - With
little incentive and practically no
interference, the stock market this
week climbed a small notch
higher. ..
That makes it two straight
weeks of recovery after a three
week fall from the highest point
of the year reached May 3.
But the rise this week and last
lacked q lot of vigor that bullish
minded traders would like to see.
For one thing it lacked volume.
The average days business in both
weeks was a little more than a
million shares day. The average
50 far this year runs better than
1900, 900 shares daily.
In Wall Streets book, any ad-
vance or decline without volume
is like a circus parade without
elephants-it just doesn't attract
any following.

LAKE CHARLES, La, Sept. g.
Gov. Earl K. Long refuses to step
into the cases of five Lake Charles
newspapermen charged with de-
flaming 13 parish officials and
three admitted gamblers.
The governor said he didn't
think he had the power to suspend
Sheriff Henry Reid of Calcasieu
Parish and District Attorney Grif-
fin r. Hawkins.
Mr.. Reid, Mr.. Hawkins and II
members of the police jury (parisn
governing body were the officials
allegedly DETAINED.
The Peoples Action Group, ar
Organization of citizens joining
the Lake Charles American Press
in a crusade against gambling
had asked that both be suspended
Gov. Long told newsmen in
Baton Rouge yesterday:
They have a recall law. If a
sufficient number of names certi-
fed by the proper authorities is
submitted to me from that parish
I will follow the law and call the
(recallD election"
The governor defended freedom
of the press:
IF it were left up to me,
wouldn't try to hamstring the
newspapers. I would let them run
wild"
Evening star., 1951-09-06

His stand drew criticism from
Attorney James Dewey O'Brien. a
30-year-old officer of the PAG.
Mr.. O'Brien said:
THAT sounds like more double
talk. If he doubts his power to
institute proceedings to remove or
suspend the sheriff and district
attorney he should read the con-
lStitution more carefully"
The case involves Managing
Editor Ken Dixon and four others
on the American Press. Mr.. Dixon,
an organizer of the PAG, was
indicted on charges of defaming
District Attorney Hawkins by
using the phrase illegal double
talk" in describing statement
on gambling made by one of Mr..
Hawkins assistants.
Gov. Long elaborated on his
ideas concerning newspapers with:
II know a lot of times they go
beyond reason. Still I think they
should be permitted to blackguard
any one, say anything they want
to. All of them don't, but some do.
Whatever they believe in, they
put on page one. If a man
answers it, they leave half of it
out and put that on page 66.
That's the kind of privilege news
papers have always enjoyed. Those
kind of tactics are what made me

Woman Faces Criminal Action
In $14, 800 Stock Forgery
Hospital Dieticion
Tells of Losing
Suvinqs to Friend

The head dietician at Casualty
Hospital told yesterday how she
lost her life's savings and $4,000
inheritance as criminal proceed
ings began against her former
friend, Mrs. Phoebe Martin, &C
cused of selling her $4,000 in
fraudulent stocks.
Mrs. Martin, 81, of the 700
block of South Florida street,
Arlington, was held for action of
the grand jury by United States
Commissioner Cyril S. Lawrence,
who set bond at $500. Mrs.
Martin is charged with forgery.
She was arrested yesterday in her
Office in the 1900 block of G street
NV.
Miss Katherine Fisher, who lives
at ia Eighth street NE. and is
the head dietician at Casualty
Hospital, told her story yesterday
at the hearing.
Shared Same Apartment.
Mrs. Martin had been her as
sistant at the hospital and for
sevreal months they shared the
same apartment, the 45-year- old
dietician explained.
Miss Fisher said in 1947 Mrs.
Martin offered to invest some
money for her through her broth
er-in-law. Miss Fisher said she
gave Mrs. Martin $500 she had
saved "for a number of years" for
her old age. II even went without
vacations for years" she said, lin
order TO save for my future" In
addition she gave her $4,000 IN
herited from her mother. Miss
Fishers sister and brother law
gave $4,000 each, too, for stock.
In September, 1948, Mrs. Martin
gave Miss Fisher a letter which
was a receipt for 200 shares of the
Dallas Telephone Co.. supposedly
owned and operated by the Sor-
doni Construction Co., Wilkes
Barre, Pa. The name, Harold
Davies. was signed to the letter.
Suspicious About Interest.
Detective Sergt. Benjamin Clark
Of the check and fraud squad,
testified that Mrs. Martin admit
ted writing, tipping and signing
the letter.
The letter stated in one part
that serving you has been
pleasure and opportunity" 1t
explained further that due to
wrong address. Miss Fisher had
not received interest from her
stocks, but that would be remedied.
Miss Fisher said she became
suspicious about the lack of inter-
est being paid her and she went to
see Harold Davies, the brother-in-
law of Mrs. Martin, who police
said is a former executive with

the Sordoni Construction Co. Mr..
Davies denied having signed the
letter.
Case Taken to Civil Court.
Sergt. Clark said there was a
Sordoni' Construction Co. but the
Dallas Telephone Co. was non
existent.
Miss Fisher took her case to
civil court and last spring the late
Judge T. Alan GoldSborough
awarded her a judgment. Miss
Fisher testified, however, that she
had gotten only about $500 from
Mrs. Martin as a result of the
judgment.
Yesterdays criminal proceed
ings against Mrs. Martin began
just IS days short of the three
year statute of limitations on a
felony under the District Code.
