Comics Far: Markets PAGE EIGHT Grains Suffer Sharp Setback Wheat, Rye Drop Following House Veto on Subsidies, By WILLIAM FERRIS '. CHICAGO Nov. 24-(P)-Grain suffered' their, sharpest setback in several weeks . today, wheat and rye dropping as much as 2 cents on profit taking, set off by house passage of anti-subsidy legislation and fears there might be impor tant international news develop ments over the Thanksgiving hol iday. ;V-:. . r'" The market was in-a vulnerable Dosition for a reaction, traders said, in view of the recent ad vance which had carried wheat to new highs for as long ago as the past 18 years. When the opening showed no demand h been cre ated by the house anti-subsidy action late yesterday, traders de cided the legislative move had been discounted and," consequent ly, they elected to get out of the market , ., . - Final prices were' about tfce lows for the day. Wheat finished to 2 cents lower, December fl.61-1.02. . Traders expressed interest in' a war production board announce ment partly lifting the ban on use of corn and -grain sorghum in pro ducing ethyl alcohol. The ban was established in August, with wheat substituting' for corn. Only i small amount of the selling in wheat, however, was attributed to this news.r Visits Parents At Mill City MILL CITY Mrs. Murray Straum of Lebanon is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Car away.

It's Anybody's Race at Present By D. HAROLD OLIVER WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-;P-Wendell Willkie's backers, busily lining up convention delegates, still have a long row to hoe in their campaign to get him another republican presidential nomination in 1944. The "stop-Willkie" groups in his own party now are scour ing the country for blocks to throw into the 1940 nominee's path. These blocks would be "favorite son" candidates from the various states. The "stop-Willkie" groups' view is that if there were enough of these candidates or if they were strong enough a first-ballot nomination of Willkie would be prevented and they could put someone else across later. - The convention will have 1058 votes, and a majority 530 will be necessary to nominate. Some politicians count the anti Willkie nucleus as already past the one-third mark of th e total num ber of convention votes. Willkie In' an interview In Wisconsin warned against the "favorite son" method of f reeling- enough pre-convention votes to block nomination. He said . this results in selection of weak compromise candidates. Be spoke of Warren G. Harding's ' nomination by the republicans In - 1928 as am example. V. - Harding, a senator at the time, was nominated on the tenth ballot ' with 692 votes, after " General Leonard Wood and Illinois' gov ernor Frank O. Lowden , dead locked .in the early running. On the final ballot Wood had 156, Lowden 80Vi, and Senator -Hiram Johnson 80. : ; " : 5 -- Willkie supporters contend he is better than a 2 to 1 bet tight now for the nomination. Bat John D. M. Hamilton, now a Philadelphia' attorney who managed Alf Landon's pre siJential campaign, hinted la Los AnstUn that the more candi dates there 'were the better It - would be at next year's con vention.

Nov. 24 (AP) If all the 24 sitting republican governors, plus the two elected re cently in New Jersey and Ken tucky, followed Hamilton's advice, they might sew up 274 convention votes, -or more than two-thirds- of the total. : But even if Governor Thomas E.. Dewey decided to enter the race and could count on all of New York's 93 convention dele gates, these and other state votes thus far indicated for favorite son or other variety of candidates outside the Willkie column would total only 397, or 133 short of a majority. ; This line-up could and probably will be different at convention time, but it shows approximately to what extent a "stop-Willkie" drive still would have to go to succeed. Also, Willkie men be lieve New York will give him a big block of its 93 votes on the first ballot and that Dewey will stick to his oft-repeated wish to serve out his .full four years at Albany. . ....,"' .'; ' j Governor - Bricker has served notice In ' the first formal an nouncement of candidacy . that he expects to go after more delegates than his home state's 50. His de cision not to run for a fourth gu bernatorial nomination means he Is burning his bridges. So now the speculation runs this wy: r Will Willkie and Bricker re-; i peat the Wood-Lowden deadlock i of 1929 ' and allow another to slip through with the first prise T f Or will Willkie corral enough : convention votes to win right off . the bat?

Satan, Stock Market Turns Soft Holiday Scales Down Bidding; Rails Decline By BERNARD S. OUARA NEW YORK. Nov. 24-6iPV-Scal- ing - down of speculative commit ments against the - possibility of vital news developments over the holiday gave today's stock market a soft tone. Key industrial and rail issues declined fractions to around a point. Oils and a scattering of specialties countered the trend for modest gains. Special support for the netrol- eum group appeared to be inspir ed by the move in congress look ing to transfer of authority over oil prices from the OPA to Pe troleum Administrator Ickes. The - Associated Press 60-stock copaposite at the close was down Jt of a point at 48.2. Transactions totaled 706,710 shares compared with Tuesday's 540,157. A slow, drift to lower levels started after an irregular opening and a considerable number of leaders finish edat the bottom. Showing' losses of a point or more were -US SteeL " Chrvsler.
