In Tagging Trading;
Rails Hardest Hit
BY the Assoeioied Pres.

NEW YORK, Sept. ia sharp
decline in prices on the stock ex-
change today marked the second
straight fall from the peak of the
year.
Losses ran to nearly So a share
Iat the outside among leaders, and
declines into the $l-$2 range were
rather frequent.
There was no selling pressure
at any point in the decline. In
the midst of the fall there were
ia number of individual issues
showing strong resistance and
even substantial gains.
Freeport Sulphur was one Of
these, up at one time more than
I$3 share.
Railroads were perhaps the
hardest hit of the major groups,
but the fall was orderly. Some
of the larger minus signs were
seen in gold mining shares, chem
icals and oils.
The retreat was moderated by
the absence of heavy volume.
Many traders pulled to the side
lines to watch rather than par
ticipate the lower levels.
Down were Santa Fe, Southern
Railway. Northern Pacific, Texas
Co., United Air Lines, American
Telephone. American Smelling,
Mcintyre Porcupine, Benguet
Consolidated, American Cyana-
mid, Dow Chemical, American
Tobacco, United States Steel, Re-

craft, National Distillers, Motorola
and Zenith Radio.

ments were lower by a narrow
margin in the over-the-counter

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We doubt the
following information will be of the slightest
use to YOU around midnight Monday, but
here it is anyway. New Years Day celebra-
tions had their origin in Roman times, when
sacrifices were offered to Janus (hence JAM
uary), two-headed porter of Heaven who was
the guardian deity of gates. The reason he is
mythologically endowed with two heads is
because every door looks two ways. and Janus
was supposed to look back on the past and
forward to the future. Incidentally, also from
Janus comes our word janitor. He's the fellow
with the big cleanup job on Tuesday; the
busiest man in town when everybody's gone
home and he's locked all the doors.
OPTNuST. In ''How We Can Danish the
Blues" on Page S, Lieut. Gen. Maxwell D.
Taylor is quoted as saying, There is no room
for pessimist in successful fighting force"
We know of one new soldier Gen. Taylor
won't have to worry about judging from
comtry-paper news item we recently read.
The item: Stanley B. Stewart, son of MIR.
and Mrs. Raymond L. Stewart, has accepted
position as private in the US Army"
AUTHORS LAMENT. A hopeful contrib
utor from Wisconsin accompanied her most
recent manuscript Gejected) with the follow
ing note:
''If the enclosed article has any true merit.
it will speak for itself If not, I'll paraphrase
the poet and say, For of all sad words of
tongue or pen the saddest are these: returned
again."
MISSING III ACTI0N. Last week ''WalIys
Wagon" didn't appear because Wally was
swamped with last-minute shopping. This
week. we're sorry to say. both "Wallys
Wagon" and Bennett Cerf's 'Cerfboard" are
missing. We hope both oolumnists enjoy the
holidays They'll be back on the job in
future issues The EDITORS
