Employment Service Sacajawea Annex ' Ccrtiic-Hl i,f Availability Required Markets Heavy Losses Mark Stock Price Break NEW YORK, June 28 (UP) The stock market had its widest break of the year today in the heaviest trading since April 16. The selling- movement began shortly before noon in the rails and spread throughout the mar ket. Losses ranged to more than 5 points. Volume was so heavy that the tape ran a minute or two behind the "market. Washington heard that recom mendations for higher stock mar gins and a rise in the capital gains tax were on President Tru man's desk for approval. The street anticipated a margin rise but a higher capital gains levy was seen as a bearish possibility. The list steadied in early after noon but encountered new real izing later. Around the close it was at the lows of the day prices that wiped nearly 2'h points from the railroad average and more than 1 points in the industrial average. PORTLAND DAIRY PORTLAND, June 28 UP) Egg prices went up another cent today on the Portland dairy mar ket under the schedules worked out in advance by the OPA. Dealers felt Ihe additional pro fit fur producers will relieve some of the pressure and offset the high cost of feed. Hutter continues to pile up and prices were unchanged.

Learnmg Work Byrnes Believed Slated to Head State Department (Continued from Page 1 dent Roosevelt's death when he resigned as war mobilization and reconversion chief. Now, it was clear, he is re turning o government service to which he has devoted most of his 65 years. He probably will go back in his old slot as "as sistant president" as well as the inhabitant of the highest Amer ican cabinet post. It was learned that the resigna tions of Undersecretary of State Joseh C. Grew and the six as sistant secretaries who formed Stettinius' diplomatic high com mand are in Mr. Truman's hands. No action will be taken on them, however, until the new secre tary has a chance to look over his job. The most likely casualties are Assistant Secretary Nelson A. Rockefeller, chief of Latin-American relations and Archibald MacLeish, who quit as librarian of congress last December to fill the newly-created post of as sistant secretary in chnrje of cultural and public relations. Connally Pleads For Approval of Security Charter (Continued from Page 1) dcavored to construct the mech anism to create that cooperation for peace." Describing broadly the char ter's general provisions for inter national cooperation to prevent future aggression, by force if necessary, Connally conceded that it is not perfect. But he asserted it murks a be ginning from which It can grow and develirp to meet the needs of the world under international law, justice and freedom. 'Judged by that standard," he said, " it is a .monumental per formance." PLENTY GAS PER PILOT Enough gasoline is consumed in training one American mili tary pilot to lust an average driv er 25 years.
