J Make Some Gains
, By BERNARD S. O'HARA J
NEW YORK, Dec. 10-(Prh
stock market today whipped up a
selective rally behind farm im
plements, mail orders, gold mines
and industrial blue chips. Gains,
ranging from 1 to 3 points for fav
orites, were reduced in most cases
at the close.
A revival of inflation thinking,
spurred by a brisk upturn in
grains and an expansion of money
In circulation to a record peak
above $20,000,000,000, inspired
some buying of securities.
The Associated Press 60-stock
average was up .4 of a point at
49.1. Transfers totaled 866,540
shares compared with 856,430 the
day before.
Among advances, J. I. Case end
ed with a net of 44 points. Lesser
improvement was retained by. In
ternational Harvester, Caterpillar
Tractor, Sears Roebuck, Mont
gomery Ward, Dome Mines,
Homes take, Alaska Juneau, Omni
bus Corp., Du Pont, Eastman Ko
dak, Santa Fe, Chesapeake &
Ohio, US Steel, Chrysler and
American Telephone.
American Distilling was up 2
points or so and down as much
at intervals and ended with a plus
mark of . Losers included Beth
lehem, Southern Railway, West
ern Union "A," General Motors,
Allied Chemical, Boeing and
Goodyear. American Locomotive
voted a 50-cent dividend on the
common, first since 1931, but the
stock emerged unchanged at
14 .
Railway medium-rated bonds
did well. At Chicago wheat was
up 14 to 14 cents a bushel, oats
V to IVi and rye to l.. Cot
ton was up 25 to 75 cents a bale.
On the upside in the curb were
Lake Shore, Aluminum Ltd.,
Electric Bond & Share, Cities
Service, E. W. Bliss, Bellanca
Aircraft, Cuban Atlantic Sugar
and Creole Petroleum. Turnover
here was 243,270 shares versus
174,580 yesterday.

meat-and-fat tokens and the 900,
000,000 biue processed food tokens
each a little smaller than a
dimeand made of tough fiber
are expected to last a year.
Five processed food stamps, to
talling 50 points, will become valid
at the first of every month, and
three meat-fat stamps, totalling 30

Deitz Given
Two Years
Pleading guilty to a charge of
assisting in the burglary of a
North Salem garage, Richard
Deitz was sentenced to two years
in the state penitentiary by Circuit
Judge E. M. Page Friday.
Deitz had previously been con
victed of a felony which made him
ineligible for a parole.
Deftz aided Robert Dawson in
the burglary. Dawson, earlier in
the week, was sentenced to two
years in prison, but he is due to
go into the army December 14 and
the court suspended his sentence.
Columbia Irrigation
Suggested to Absorb .
Postwar Unemployment
WASHINGTON, Dec.. 10 -UP)
Wide scale irrigation of the Co
lumbia river basin was suggested
today to absorb Washington and
Oregon unemployed in the post
war period.
Rep. Holmes (R-Wash) told the
house that thousands of persons
could be employed to construct
irrigation works, and that every
man working on the actual site
would mean another person hired
for the manufacture and transpor
tation of construction equipment
"The Columbia basin will be
come one of the most productive
irrigated areas in the United
States," Holmes said.

Raise Grains
Wheat Contracts
Reach New Peaks;
Others Jump Cent
By WILLIAM FERRIS
CHICAGO, Dec. 1(H-Grair
rose sharply today on rumors that
ceilings on hard wheat, now ex
pected some time next week,
would be higher than traders had
anticipated. All wheat contracts
advanced to new season peaks,
with the December delivery hit
ting its best level since 1925.
Gains extending to a cent and
more were established by other
grains.
Reports in cash grain circles
said the' wheat ceiling would be
set at $1.62 a bushel, Kansas City
basis. Traders said this would
mean a maximum here of $1.72
when freight charges were in
cluded, or about 4 or 5 cents high
er than had been, recently esti
mated. No. 1 hard wheat sold here
today at $1.72, a new high on
the current crop.
Final prices were down slightly
from the day's best, but wheat
held on to gains of De
cember $1.69H-$L69.
Fortresses
Pack Third
More Bombs
By W. W. HERCHER
LONDON, Dec. 10-(P)-American's
deadly Flying Fortresses
swinging into the final aerial as
sault on Germany's European
stronghold now pack a one-third
greater weight of bombs and 20
per cent more firepower, the
Eighth US air force has disclosed
The heavy American dread
noughts also may team up with
the RAF in smashing night blows
on axis continental targets, it was
believed here.
The same announcement her
alded a ten per cent firepower
Increase In a new Liberator,
America's other type of heavy
bomber, with the addition of
two more power turrets In the
nose and belly bristling with
new 50-callber guns.
Gunners aboard Fortresses and
Liberators destroyed 195 enemy
planes in November and may be
expected to increase their kill
with their new armament.
The heavier bombload for the
Fortresses is made possible by a
pair tf wing racks capable of
gripping another 2000 poindi
of explosives, raising the aver
age load from three tons to four,
and permitting the bomb bay to
carry a greater number of de
structive incendiaries which are
light but take up space.
Range and speed of the Fort
resses necessarily are cut with the
greater bomb load, but the exter
nal 150-pound steel racks which
can be bolted across the wings be
tween the engines in a half hour
make the planes a much more
potent weapon for shorter pre-in-vapion
attacks.
The bombs in the new racks
can be released electrically or
manually, and in sequence or
salvo.
The bombload increase also
suggests the possibility that the
Fortresses may join the RAF in
mass night saturation raids where
sacrifices of speed and ammuni
tion load could be made. The
German radio recently has re
ferred to night raids by "British
American bombers," but there
has been . no official statement
here to support the Berlin asser
tions that the Americans already
are attacking by night
Liquor Deal May Net
About 8 Million
Profit for Oregon
OLYMPIA, Wash., Dec. 10 -(JP)
State liquor officials predicted to
day that the giant Oregon-Washington
distillery purchase will net
Washington a profit of $7,149,500.
The money gained from re
tailing Washington's half of 35,000
barrels of bourbon whisky; will
be divided between state, county
and cities; Chairman Evro Becket
said.
Oregon's profit in the deal, now
being completed in Kansas City,
is expected to be comparable.
