V i - i ' Stocks Fail in Upward Feint By BERNARD S. O'HARA NEW YORK, Nov. 29-ff)-Stocks made feeble attempts at recovery in today's market but support failed to hold in most eases and closing losses of frac tions were widespread. Af handful of casualties ranged from 1 to 4 points. Securities, as well as commo dities, stiffened when Secretary Hull denounced the current crop of peace rumors and intimated they were axis-inspired. The halt of the downturn was only momen tary, however, and in the final hour closing quotations generally were at the day's bottoms. As in the past week, buying re luctance was based on the idea important international news was Imminent, particularly disclosures relating to a Roosevelt-Churchill-Stalin meeting. Year-end tax sell ing again was a mild deterrent. The Associated Press 60-stock average was off .4 of a point at 47.2, lowest level for this compo site since March 24. At this figure the market had more than wiped out its substantial April-July ral ly. Relative lightness of offerings, though, was helpful to sentiment. A pickup in activity at the last put transfers at 702,700 shares compared with 601,150 in the pre ceding full session. On the offside were J. I. Case, Eastman Kodak, Allied Mills, Standard Oil (NJ), Goodyear, Du Pont, Union Carbide and J. C. Penney, US Steel, Bethlehem, General Motors, Santa Fe, Penn sylvania, Southern Pacific, Ame rican Telephone, Western Union "A," Montgomery Ward, Cater pillar Tractor, Anaconda, Ameri can Smelting, Texas Co., Westing house, United Aircraft, Glenn Martin and Sperry. Boeing and Douglas Aircraft edged into new low territory for 1943. Support Price On Live Hogs Is Announced CORVALLIS, Nov. 29-UP)-New dollar-and-cent support prices on live hogs, which the war food ad ministration plans to enforce by refusing subsidies to slaughterers who do not abide by them, went into effect today. The rates, announced by the state AAA office, start at $14.75 per hundredweight at Portland a dollar below the live hog ceil ing. Previous support prices were based on a $13.75 level at Chica go for good to choice butcher hogs. Country buying points: Clatsop, Columbia, Washing ton, Multnomah, Tillamook, Yam hill, Clackamas, Polk, Marion, Linn, Benton, and Lincoln coun ties, $14.45; Coos, Crook, Des chutes, Douglas, Gilliam, Hood River, Jefferson, Lane, Sherman, Wasco and Wheeler, $14.30; Uma tilla, Union, Wallowa, Grant, Ba ker, Harney Malteur, Curry, Jose phine, Jackson, Klamath, Lake, $14.15. The AAA office advised pro ducers to notify market agencies before shipping hogs, because the hog crop largest in this country's history has overcrowded slaugh ter facilities. Sleuth of 13 Deduces,9 Nabs Pilferer OREGON CITY, Nov. 29 H7P) A tow-headed 13-year-old son of the Clackamas county sheriff, was credited with catching an 11-year-old bandit who had eluded police for a year. The capture was simply good de duction. Dean, son of Sheriff Fred Reaksecker, just noticed which boy had too much money for can dy and ice cream. Then "I grabbed him and called mjrdad, Dean said. The 11-year-old. who police said admitted taking over $200 from homes during the last year, told the sheriff he'd hoped to "make a real haul when I got a little bigger." "I had a swell little dog, Fritz," the small bandit, whose name was withheld, was quoted as saying. "We were pals.r I didn't fool around much with other kids they're all sissies. Fritz and I used to play down on the river. We hunted and fished. 1 was just like Huck Finn. "Everything was swell until my father he and ma work in the shipyards made me get rid of Fritz . . . Things didn't seem to be the same after that . . , 1 got on a bus and went to Seattle. I had some fun there. I had robbed only a couple of houses before that. When I got back, j: started in stealing' again." : AT FIRST CSS TABLETS. 3ALYE. KZiZ HZTi (2?

Activity was re stricted by various reports of pos sible important international de velopments in the near future. All grains rallied sharply at one time when Secretary of State Hull branded peace rumors as "axis inspired" and said he' had no in formation to support them. De cember wheat advanced to a new peak since 1925 on this announce ment, but encountered liquidation and quickly retreated. At the close wheat was li low er to fc higher, December $.634, oats were down '-1 cent, De cember 75i, rye was tt-Vi lower, December ll.lSVs-1 and barley was off ltt-1 December $1.16. The main support for wheat was an FDA request for offers on an additional 80,000,000 pounds of en riched flour, bringing to 160,000, 000 pounds the total the lend lease agency wants. In addition, the FDA asked for offers of 560, 000 bushels of wheat. Together, these inquiries amount to 4,232,000 bushels of the bread cereal. Details on the flour subsidy pro gram for millers were expected after the market closed, or pos sibly tomorrow. Reports from Washington indicated announce ment on hard wheat ceilings would be delayed until later in the week.

The national safety council re ported it was the first break in a downward trend that began short ly after Pearl Harbor. No precise reason was apparent, but Donald S. Berry, director of the organi zation's traffic and transportation division, suggested several possi ble contributing factors. He said there were indications that many drivers now had a tendency to disregard wartime traffic caution in the optimistic belief that victory is in the off ing. He added that there may have been a recent increase in motoring. He pointed out, too, that the figures on the upturn were pro vided by a comparison of fatali ties of October of this year and October, 1942, when the 35 mile speed limit went into effect and when the toll showed a record drop of 47 per cent.
