NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Demand
for motors put the stock market
ahead today. Changes went frac-
tional either way with the upside

more than a point were registered
Motors were by far the most
active of the major divisions. Sup
porting the motors were steels,
rails, oils, utilities. Colds, chemi-
Gals, and most building materials
Other sections were quiet or mar
rowly mixed.
Chrysler was the star performer
with a gain of nearly 3 points at
times. Studebaker was up a major
fraction and traded in blocks as
large as 5000 shares. General Mo-
tors was active at a fractionally
higher price.
Railroad income reports fol

tinued excellent. An example was
PennSylvania's net income of a

Senator Dworshak added that
no matter whom President-elect

Isioner of internal revenue, "it'S
certain to be very difficult for the
new commissioner to operate an
efficient tax-collecting bureau that
is loaded down with Democratic
political appointees."
The tax collecting agency has
been reorganized under a plan
President Truman sent to Con-
gress last January.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the bureau was honeycombed with
corruption and mismanagement.
we now learn that many former
political appointees have been
blanketed under Civil Service"
Senator Dworshak said.
This gives them permanent
status. I'm pretty certain We
could have found many honest.

cans for these places"
The reorganization plan was
described as taking out Of the
