Retail Sales
Rise Slightly

NEW YORK, July IA (AP).-
Retail trade advanced slightly
this week, aided by numerous
clearance sales promotions on
summer merchandise which
overcame unseaSonably cool
weather in some areas.
Apparel, food products and
some appliances moved more
quickly, offsetting slower sales
of furniture, new passenger
cars, draperies and floor cover
ings, Dun & Bradstreet reported
today. The net result was q
slight gain over the preceding
week as well as year ago.
Promotions helped air coolers,
fans, refrigerators and deep
freeze units to move off the
floor. but interest in other
appliances still Jagged.
Total dollar volume of retail
trade in the week ended We'd
nesday was l per cent below to
3 per cent higher than a year
ago, Dun g. Bradstreet said.

Grants of $4,000
Perhaps the most striking
things to the lucky foreigners
who win them-and about 125
have received grants so far to
study in this country-is the
money. Grants amount to
roughly $4,000 apiece for eight
or 10 months stay here. Fel-
lows may take their wives
along, and travel expenses are
also covered.
In fact, the foundation wants
fellows to travel. "It'S a gen.
eral osmoSiS process, by travel
and observation" explains Mr..
Barnes. Our men don't go to
oxford and just stay there a
year."
The theory behind the fell
lowship is that it will give the
man a practical, day-to-day
experience in the countries he
visits that will be of value to
him back home in influencing
other leaders.
BY far the bulk of fellowShipS
go to foreigners. Only II Amer
leans have received them so far.
But those few chosen from the
United States have profited well.

Hit on Bids 10
Control BIO
By the Associated Press

Hearings on rival bids for
control Of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad recessed until Septem-
ber II after a surprise Justice
Department motion urging that
both be rejected.
c. Riggs Mcconnell Of the
departments Antitrust Division
said yesterday it appeared that
both the Chesapeake & Ohio
and New York Central Rail-
roads have been trying to buy
control Of the B6SO Railroad
prior to approval" by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
Mr.. Mcconnell asked ICc
Examiner John L. Bradford to
dismiss applications Of both
railroads because Of alleged i'm
proper activity in making open
market purchases of B6oO stock.
Mr.. Bradford said the motion
would be taken under advise
ment. along with a previous
motion by Central that the
Gao application be thrown out
for technical faults.
The Justice Department at
torney, after hearing denials by
both railroads, said he had Of
fered his motion "for the rec.
ord" and was not prepared tc
present argument on it at thi.
time.
Both the New York Central
and the C&O promptly denied
any improper actions. Both say
their open market purchases OF
BIO stock early this year were
for defensive purposes"

Business Week, he came to
Washington with the Railroad

Governments Are Owners
In his survey Mr.. Sites will
tackle a touchy political sub
ject. In every one Of the 20
countries, the government owns
and operates the railroads to a
major degree, and in some, such
as Russia, the ownership is
total. How can he avoid max
