Navy to Sign Officer Orders,
Relieving Eisenhower of 7 ask

President Eisenhower has
come to the conclusion reached
by many Of his predecessors
since the time of jackson: A
President has to sign too many
things.
So. just as have some of the
others. he is trying to do some
thing about it.
He has decided to let the Navy
sign officer aSsignments-and
hereafter the signature of the
Chief Of Naval Operations will
replace that of the Chief Execu-
tive.
Some requests for autographs
are being filled by giving cards
bearing facsimiles to the appli-
cants-with the explanation that
the flowing Eisenhower script is
a facsimile.
STAFF members are looking
around for other short cuts, too,
but in some instances-paroleS
and pardons, for example-legis-
lation may be necessary.
Even with savings" here and
there, however. the President
still must do a lot of pen work,
what with signing orders, legis-
lation, certain nominations-and
autographs that have to be the
real thing because of the source
OF the request. One of the we'll
recognized jobs of a member of
Congress is to get the presiden-
tial autograph for worthy con-
StituentS.
AS of now, it is estimated that
Gen Eisenhower must sign his
name about 200 times daily. At
one time, President Truman was
performing the chore 600 times
a day.
Before them, the load was much
heavier. Startlingly so, a COM
parison discloses.
But it may be said that some
Of the signatures of one Franklin
Delano Roosevelt sometimes were
suspect.
There never has been a law re-
quiring a President to sign any,
thing and everything that passes
over his desk, according to au-
thorities on White House pro-
cedure. But from the infancy

Army 10 Ask Again
For Bids on Project
Which British Sought
By the Assoeiated Press

request for new bids would be
issued.

He added that Defense Secre-
tary Charles E. Wilson "just
wants to be certain that when
bids are submitted again and we
evaluate them, we are all going
to be talking about the same

Such things as the copper con-
tent of some of the power equip
ment used in the project appar-
emily will be involved in the re-
writing Of the specifications.

British company proposed $4,-

Associoted Press FinoneioI WrifsI

NEW YORK, April The
stock market suffered a major
Shakeout this week in the midst
of Korean peace moves, but it
Withstood the pressure and came
through with minimum damage.
The decline this week has not
been exceeded since the drastic
fall the week the United States
intervened in the Koran conflict.
That fact bolstered the theory
that Wall Street doesn't fear
peace, as some have expressed it.
What Wall Street fears, as indi-
Gated by the reaction of the stock
market. is a change from peace
to war or a change from war to
peace.
When the United States en-
tered the Korean war in 1850, the
stock market in that final June
week declined with surprising
rapidity. At the end of the week
the Associated Press average had
declined $3.50.
Later, as defense orders mount
ed and civilian demand ex-
panded, the stock market ad-
vanced strongly. From the be-
ginning of the Korean war to
last January S, the A. P. average
gained some So per cent and
reached a 22-year peak.
Evening star., 1953-04-05
Stock Market Hit by Shokeout,
But Weothers Heavy Pressure

Since that peak, the market
has fallen only a little more than
4 per cent, including the decline
of $3.50 staged this week.
Many even consider the set
back this week a technical affair
so far. They point out that the
stock market can retrace from
one-third to two-thirds of a pre-
viouS rise and still be within the
limits sof a technical reaction.
The last sustained rise was
the October january Eisenhower
presidential boom. The fall since
then has retraced a little more
than one-third of the previous
gain-the minimum limits of a
technical reaction.
OF the 20 most active issues
on the New York Stock Exchange
this week. only four advanced,
and all four were favored by spe-
cial demand. The great bulk of
losers in that list were heavy
beneficiaries of defense spending.
At the top of the list was Pan

DC. Permits Boosted
Sharply on Revival
OF Home Building
By Donald B. HodIey

A revival in construction Of
both single-family homes and
apartments lifted the value Of
private building permits here in
March and the first three months
Of this year well above q year
ago.
The District Building inspec-
ton Office yesterday reported
private building permits rose to
$685. 1888 in March, compared
with $6,191,247 in the previous
month and $3.344.41s in March,
1852.
For the first quarter private
permits totaled $15,350,152. COM
pared with $11,236,478 in the
same 1852 period.
The March total included
$4.100, ,450 of residential permits,
compared with $780, 500 in the
previous month and 81 1863, ,780 in
March. 1852. Residential permits
in the three months amounted
to $7,777.950 VS.. $6,888, $50 q year
earlier.
March permits listed TIL fam
lily dwelling units VS.. 512 for the
previous month and 300 in
March. 1852. The three months
total was 1.604 dwelling units
VS.. 1,100 a year earlier.
Store Sales Above 1852.
Department store sales in the
Washington area are expected to
show gain of around 5 per cent
from a year ago in March and
for the first quarter will exceed
the same 1852 period by a small
margin.
This was indicated yesterday
by the weekly report from the
Federal Reserve Bank Of Rich
mond, which disclosed that area
sales for four weeks ended March
% were 5 per cent above a year
earlier. Downtown sales, how
ever, were even with a year ago.
Area business in general had
a surprisingly good first quarter,
except for some soft spots such
as automobiles. Appliance sales
are running above last year.
Bank clearings for March and
the quarter set new records for
those periods. Latest reports in
dicate a gradual decline in area
employment in January and
February, but with only a mod
crate decrease from a year ago.
