Stocks Lower,
But Withstand
Heavy Selling
BY RAIDER WINGET
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, April 14.-The
stock market this week ran into
the most concentrated selling of
the last six months. but it
weathered the blow.
The Associated Press average
Of so stocks lost $3.50 and closed
at $l88.9O. Hardest hit were the
higher-priced blue chips, the
kind of stocks found in the stock
market averages.
The belief that a correction
was coming was perhaps the
greatest factor in contributing to
the drop in prices.
There were other elements.
too, and they were important
The Federal Reserve approved
increases Of the discount rate to
3 per cent in San Francisco and
Minneapolis and to pa per cent
elsewhere, except in Chicago
where it remained unchanged at
212 per cent.
1t was the fifth increase in a
year and was designed as still
another effort to check infia-
tionary forces by diScouragine
borrowing.
Another cause for selling was
the effort OF many persons TO
raise cash for the tax collector
That pressure relaxed as the end
OF the week neared.
Still another factor, and per-
haps the most popular selling
excuse. was the grave turn of
events in the Middle East.
The five most active issues this
week on the New York Stock Ex-
change were Hupp Corp, up y

This is the year in which the

shrewdest racketeers.
For 1856 is the year Of Opera

AS a result of the OH drive
more Americans will spend more
money on fixing up their homes
this year than ever before.
As a result Of the rich posi-
blhtles a black fringe of schem-
ing swindlers already exists in
the home improvement field
which is threatening not only
the gullible homeowner, but also
the vast majority Of scrupulously
honest and fair contractors.
RacketS Expanding
The rackets were reaching
serious proportions even before
this year.
In New Orleans. for instance,
the Better Business Bureau esti-
mates homeowners are being
cheated out Of more than 81
million a year by home repair

In Buffalo the Niagara From

take TO safeguard yourself ?
Here are tips TO protect the
homeoWner:
Deal only with a contractor
whose reputation you trust or
whose reliability is easily veri-
fed.
II you do not have any infor-
nation on the contractor, get the
names Of homeowners he has
served in your area and check
with them.
If YOU have any doubts at all,
check with your local Better
Business Bureau There are bu-
reaus in 100 cities from coast to
coast
Check Estimates
Before you accept an estimate
on the cost of repairs, check 1t
with several reliable local con-
tractors and make sure each esti-
mate on the cost of repairs, check
1t with several reliable local con-
tractors and make sure each esti-
mate is based on the same speci-
fiCatonS.
Know the exact financing
terms. Ask the financing institu-
ton If 1t has received any COM
plants on other work done by
me contractor or whether it has
checked jobs completed by that
contractor.
Do not deal with anyone who
tries to high-presSure you into a
deal. You can suspect bait adj
yertising" il the price for the
Job seems so Enthusiastically low
that it seems irresistible.
Beware of the model home
pitch. Before doing business with
any firm promising a commission
Tor use OF your remodeled home
as a display house demand the
names Of at least a dozen nearby
homeowners who were benefited
by this sort of deal and query
those homeowners.
Do not authorize any person
to do work on your house or to
have access to your furnace, etc.
until YOU have checked on him
and have reached agreement on
terms.
Read all the fine print in your
contract, be sure you understand
it and insist that all guarantees
be in writing.
If you follow these rules, you'll
be safe and the racketeers will
find the home improvements
field in 1856 disappointingly slim
pickings.

BY PHIL YEAGER and
JOHN STARK

Capt. Pietro Calamai, skipper
of the Inflated Andrea Doria,
says he doesn't have the log
books kept on his vessel when
1t collided with the Swedish
liner Stockholm. The logs, he
alleges, went to the bottom of
the Atlantic with the Doria.
This could be a crucial point
In determining who is going to
pay for the major part of the
$40 million worth Of claims al
ready pending as result of the
collision. And it is noteworthy
that lawyers for the Swedish
American Line have appeared
unsatisfied with Capt. Calamai's
explanation, particularly in view
of earlier rumors that the
Doria's logs had been sent back
to Italy.
1.-THE vital ISSUE" according
to Charles s. Haight, counsel for
the Stockholm, lis whether the
logs not produced are in ex-
istence."
Says He Forgot
Capt. Calamai insists that he
forgot the logs until everyone,
including himself, was of the
laundering ship. officials for the
Italian Line have offered to pay
half the cost of sending divers
down to the Doria in an effort
to recover the logs, an offer
brushed of by Counsel Haight
who says it is up to the Italian
Line to produce them.
The log is the official record
of a vessels activities and, as
such, is indispensable to mari
time administration. The United
States code requires official log
keeping on all ocean-going YES
sells operating out OF our ports.
Most other nations have SINH
lar laws. Certain entries are
mandatory in the log. including
'in case of collision, a statement
thereof and the circumstances. "
Penalties are provided for
failure to keep a log or to make
the proper entries in 1t, as we'll
as for Justification or for max
ing entries more than "a hours
after reaching port.
Up to Commander
Maritime lawyers say, how
aver, that there is no provision
in either American or interna-
tional law which sets out any
