Humphrey TaxPIedge
Rallies Stock Prices;
Trading Is Moderate
By the Asseeioied Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The
stock market staged a broad
rally today, spurred by Treasury
Secretary Humphreys statement
that income taxes will be cut
and the excess profits tax will
die at the end of the year.
Advances of around q point
were sprinkled through the list.
Volume mounted with the ad-
vance, but in the opinion of some
brokers could not be called i'm
preSSive.
Groups showing the best
strength included the rails, mo-
tors, aircrafts, televisions, cop
pers and rubbers. Most other
sections also were higher.
Gains of a point or more were
recorded at one time by Republic
Steel, Chrysler, Goodrich, Mont
gomery Ward, Zenith, Kenne-
colt. DUPONT, International Pa
per. Aluminium Ltd, Southern
Railway, Northern Pacific, Illi-
nois Central. General Electric,
Celanese, Pure Oil and Richfield.
Mr.. Humphreys statement on
tax cuts was made in. an address
before the American Bankers
Associations annual convention.
He indicated that the Nation
may be in for a decline in the
level of business activity, but
expressed confidence that any
decline won't be serious.
THE decline in the stock mar
ket," he added, lis heralded by
some as a sure sign of disaster.
I cannot believe that this is so"
The corporate bond market
was steady, while Government
issues were strong.
Despite the gains today, many
in Wall Street felt that a re-
neWed testing of the years lows
would have to precede any i'm
portant upturn in the market.
One analyst, l.. o. Hooper of
w. E. Hutton & Co., said he
believed the lows for the year
have not yet been registered.

Industrial Production
Nearing Demand, Poll
Of Plants DiscIoses
BY the Asseeiaisd Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 22.-After
more than a decade of war-born
shortages. United States indus
trial production is catching up
with National demand.
That is the view of executives
representing 159 manufacturing
companies who were polled by
the National Industrial Confer
ence Board, it was announced to-
day.
Three out of four companies
said production and demand for
their major product lines are
substantially in balance. Many
said they have some surplus ca
pacity. Only Z per cent re-
ported demand for their major
lines still in excess of the indus
try's capacity to produce. Sew
enteen per cent found their in
dustry's present capacity to be
beyond requirements of consump-
ton.
About 13 per cent of the COM
panies surveyed said they ex-
pected some capacity to be re-
tired in their industries in the
near future, with marginal plants
likely to be Abandoned. The
survey disclosed that where COM
petition is already severe, some
small companies are being forced
out Of business.
Also indicated by the poll was
a downturn in planned expendi-
lures for next years capital ex-
panSion programs.
Forty-siX per cent of the COM
panies said they planned to re-
duce their 1854 capital expendi-
lures below the 1853 rate; only
IA per cent said they expected to
spend more.
For the current year, 40 per
cent said they expected their
spending to exceed that of 1852
while 33 per cent looked for a re-
duction.

erly Hills home within five min
utes.
When I arrived, The Nose was
waiting impatiently in his study.
"Ain't dis great news, kid! y
he shouted at me, while pointing
his proboscis toward the ceiling.
II don't like to be braggin' but
dis kinda thing is bound ia make
me da only comic on IV with an
assured future"
After staring unashamed at
Jimmy's profile tor several min
utes, I certainly was ready to
confirm one thing. His nose def
nitely had not shrunk.
1t was Jimmy's late partner.
Lou Clayton, who first saw the
possibilities in this bulbous
growth way back in 1923. Lou
made me get muh schnoz insured
for hun'red thousand CLANS" "
Jimmy recalled.
"But when da premium came
due again I called a halt.
LOU I says, 'muh nose is get
ting bigger all da time. 1 can't
lose it or misplace it, so let's
forget about da insurance.
Lou gave in to Jimmy but in
sisted that the word "Schnozz-
ola" be copyrighted and filed in
Washington, which it was. In
those days Jimmy still was in
clined to be self-conScious about
the size Of his nose.
But no more. Now, I'm look
in in da mirror ever day to see
it amt gettin' smaller. Why,
when I overhear some bum say,
Dat guys nose amt so big I'm
insulted, and lookin' around ia
make sure nobody else is listen
in" he said, laughing and slap
ping his hands to his legs.
Being a reporter of integrity
I still insisted on hearing from
Jimmy himself whether or not
his famous schnoz actually had
expanded one-SiXteenth of an
inch since last season.
X X X
"Well, I'll tell va, kid. I been
lookin' at da kineScopes of muh
shows from last year and sayin'
ia muhself, Gee, it is big, amt
it! Now Nick here says da
medics claim when a guy gets
older his hoarhounds change and
effect his conglomeration."
Nick interrupted at this point
to explain that Jimmy was talk
ing about hormones and con-
figuration.
yeah, datS it," affirmed the
Schnozzola. ''Da thing Is bound
to get bigger. It's Madame
Nature"
Nick picked up the phone to
call another columnist. "Hey.
I got a great gag for you. How
about posing Jimmy over a type
writer and testing him out as
a reporter to see If he has a
nose for news. Get It? A NOSE
for news!"
"And tell EN-" Jimmy shouted,
"if muh nose keeps CROWN da
printers will have ia enlarge
their parlance to print muh
pitcher"

Flanagan Will
Meet FELTON, Wed.

Welterweights Del Flanagan and
Lester FELTON, have been signed to
provide the action in a 10-round
main-event at the Cleveland Arena
Wednesday, January 9TH. The bout
is also schedule for national broad
cast on the Pabst Blue Ribbon
Bouts program for the evening over
WKWF starting at 10 p. m, East
ern Standard Time.
Flanagan and FELTON, viii be the
first fighters to appear on this TV
show since its nomination in the
LOOK Magazine poll as the top
TV sports show.
Del Flanagan, of st. Paul, has
been campaigning as a pro since
1947. His five year record shows
IS wins, 6 losses and 2 draws. This
fine record is attributed to Del's
precise defense and jabbing.
Lester FELTON,, veteran Detroit pro
has been relatively inactive. Never
theless, FELTON, stays in top shape
and has been late fill-in on sew
eral important cards. Tough as
concrete FELTON, has absorbed the
attacks of all topnotchers and Civ
en- plenty of offense in return; a
FELTON, fight always manages to
give the fans delight.
