followed most ol the' session . by
leading Issues.

a sizable group of equities which
managed to move into the plus

Developments affecting Indi

Left vulnerable by Tuesday's
technical correction, stocks sag
ged under light offerings and in
vestors 'held off most of the day.
The tape idled at intervals until,
few minutes before the finish,
buyers stepped in to take ad
vantage of lower quotations.

were 518,340 shares.
Bethlehem, US Steel, Case,
Central Railroad of New Jer
sey and Oliver Farm were promi
nent in the upturn, each rising

Changes Must
Be Hold to
Ration Board
Any change in job or residence
which affects a motorist's mileage
rationing requirements should be
reported to the local rationing
board within five days, the state
QPA office announced.
. If your new job puts you closer
to your work you won't need so
much gasoline, said the OPA, and
your mileage rationing coupon
book should be adjusted accord
ingly. Also, if you sell your automo
bile or decide to jack it up for
the duration, your coupon book
should be returned to the local
board within five days. In case of
a bona fide transfer of a car, the
new buyers may apply for a ra
tion book in his own behalf, OPA
explained.
When you quit using your car,
the rations, except for the basic
A rations, expire, and unused cou
pons should be returned, said the
OPA. The same thing applies to
boats or other equipment for
which rations have been issued,
it was explained.

Grain Dealing
At Minimum I
"CHICAGO, Jan. 20-(-Inter-est
in the grain market was at a
minimum Wednesday ; and in a
session of aimless movements.
Traders estimated that dealings
were the smallest for the new
year. Grain men said there was
a little hedge selling coming into
the wheat ' pit, but' the lull in
mill buying continued.
Wheat closed unchanged to V
higher. May $1.39-1.39, July
$1.39-1.39Vb, corn was lower
to higher. May 98-, oats
declined -, rye lost - and
soybeans gained .
Some traders professed appre
hension over the outlook for the
new wheat crop in those sec
tions where unfavorable weather
has been reported lately. Trad
ers heard no complaints of dam
age, however, -although the gov
ernment's regular weekly weather
and crop summary said some
freezing and thawing had been
noted in parts of the southwest.

Washington Off the Record
First Day of a Congress Girl

WASHINGTON This is strictly for women who wish the
could have; seen the GOP glamor girl, Clare Booth Luce of Con
necticut, -how up for her first day in congress. j '
She came n when the house of representatives was almost
full, .and : she walked in through
the door from behind the speak
er's platform with the easy grace
that makes models spectacular.
Her debut dress was pretty
and; purple, very form-fitting
and: flattering, i Her hair swept
up from the back into a early
kind of , pompadour above her
smooth brow. Black, and aqua
bows crowned her blonde beaa
ty to match an ascot around her
throat. Hf
She slipped, into her seat quiet
ly while everybody from the gal
leries and; from the floor seemed
to scan her anxiously or admiring
ly. She glanced; around.
. Soon she whipped out a white
handkerchief to .wipe her horn
rimmed spectacles as if to see
congress more clearly. And then
she put her right hand to her
right cheek somewhat thought
fully. . Jf . j
She sat in the seventh row, left
center, fifth seat from the right,
sixth seat from! the left She ap
parently knew the gentleman on
her right, who conversed with her

hands with her.
When roll call came, if she
heard her name she didnt show
it, and if she ever answered 1
didn't . hear her. But the man
calling names glanced up and said
"present" just as he did when
other members of the house yelled
"here." All the other congress
women present answered loud and
clear. i
Sometimes Congresswaman
Clare chewed her spectacles,
which she put on and took off
frequently. She folded and re
folded a pamphlet, which she also
glanced at occasionally. I betcha
nickel she was nervous.
She didn't even seem to notice;
