NEW YORK, April 19.-The
foughest shakeout in six months
hit the stock market this week
but at the close today there was a
gentle note of recovery in the air
There wasn't too much bullish
optimism around in Wall Street
because Of the sensitive way the
market has responded to outside
developments having a real OF
fancied economic impact.
Traders have not been slow in
taking to the sidelines to await
the outcome of such major events
as the dispute in the steel industry
over wages and prices.
The Associated Press average of
80 stocks this week lost $2.4O, the
most for one week since $3.50 was
taken out in the average during
the week ended October q, 1851.
Downbeats in the market were
accompanied by heavy volume and
late tapes, while the upticks found
volume diminishing.
Today. for example, the A. p.
average gained 10 cents and vol
ume came to only 1000 shares,
the lowest for a two-hour Satur-

Stocks Turn Down During Week
But Note of Recovery Appears

day session since October l, 1949
1t was a cat-and-mouse game
all week, with traders as jumpy
as cats waiting for the market
mouse to make up its mind which
way to dart.
The market still is in a criti-
cal area. 1t hasn't decided to
head down yet. but on the other
hand it hasn't shown enough
strength to turn a cold shoulder
to the bears.
Although bulls gather some
hope from the markets downside
resistance, the bears muster these
arguments - the steel wage-price
dispute still is to be settled, first
quarter profits report still make
poor reading, Korean truce talks
still drag on and commodity mar
kets have shown a downward
tendency.

Consider Selecting Your Furniture Piece by Piece
By GIodys Miller

The standard bedroom group,
consisting Of a dresser, chest and
choice Of double or twin beds, is
still offered by many stores be-
cause consumers demand 1t.
Priced as a group. it makes it
easy for them to place it in their
budget. But many people see fur
niture as a part of their living,
something that can. if selected
properly. piece by piece. make life
easier and more comfortable.
Pieces Of furniture which are
too large or not large enough for
the available wall spaces, or which
do not have sufficient storage
space. are false economy regard
less of cost.
Bedroom furniture is now made
In single and double dressers, tall
and short chests, cabinets with
sliding or swinging doors, chests
which can be stacked on top of
each other.
The fiat fronts of these new
pieces. although an integral part
Of the design. are practical. The
horizontal concave bands on the
fronts of the drawers serve as
pulls. They are just wide enough
for the hand to catch securely
and pull. The cabinets have slid
ing doors, with a small metal
thumb slot at one side for you to
catch and pull or push. There are
no doors to swing into the room.
The low bedside table chests
have the same drawer feature.
This type of furniture also has an
extra dividend. 1t can be used in
the living rooms of contemporary
homes as well. For this reason,
among others, it is a boon to
young people who start their
homes with one-room apartments.
But don't overlook the fact that
contemporary furniture needs
care. Keep the surfaces clean,

Alaska Airlines Settles Pilots Pay Complaint

SEATTLE, (P)-An Alaska Air lines official said today that a pay complaint of pilots was being settled so that all flights would be resumed today.
 Michael Daugherty, company administrative assistant, made the announcement after several flights had been grounded here Tuesday.
 He said accounting difficulties were responsible, as a result of the recent move of headquarters from Everett to Seattle.
 Flights inside Alaska were not affected.
 Pilot said the disagreement was over per diem expenses and de- layed paychecks.
 The Post-Intelligencer quoted Daugherty as saying the company "is in sympathy" with the pilots and co-pilots, but that it could not understand why ''men in the $2O,0O0 a year brackett>would let

Carpenter Strike Slows Far North Construction Jobs

ANCHORAGE, (P) - Som e $500 carpenters remained of f their jobs throughout the terri tory Tuesday, slowing the high gear far north construction season before it had scarcely begun to roll.
 Officials of the AFL Alaska Council of Carpenters Union pre- dicted all work would be halted on construction jobs - including approximately $34O,OOO,0O0 in de- fense contracts-within the week. The Alaska General Contractors group said the shutdown would be complete within month.
 = While union officials forecast a lengthy strike, workers crowded into some local offices seeking transfer cards so that they could leave the territory while they still had enough money to do so.
 They are seeking an hourly wage rate of $3.70, as compared with S3.14 they received last year. The contractors have offered a 25-cent hourly wage boost. But two weeks ago the Wage Stabili- zation Board cut this back to 20 cents.

son for his longevity any more
than a composer can tell you the
secret Of the creation of his har-
monies. It is a kind of genius in
itself. Nevertheless; I asked Mr..
Eisenstein for his secret. He did
not attribute it to dieting. He
eats, he told me, three square
meals a day. He doesn't smoke,
but that is simply because he has
no desire for it. He believes that
in his case the reason for his long
life is to be found in the fact that
he is always occupied. He doesn't
believe in doing, he said, as many
old people do-in going to the
park and just looking on. He likes
to be doing something all the
time. In his case, it is doing re-
search and writing books.
I am reminded of another Jew,
who lived to be more than 100,
Sir Moses Montefiore. He was oc-
cupied in other ways-in philan-
thropy. Montefiore was the grand
old man of England, of Jewry. He
gave money and was personally
interested in g. thousand causes for
the peoples welfare. When he
died, an English daily commented,
you can't sum up such a life in
a sentence or in a bon mot" and

replied: eyes, you can, Bon Mot"
