Stock Market Steel Strike Threat Drops NEW YORK (AVA "narp selling reatcion swept through the stock market Tuesday as fears of a steel strike spread. The market hesitated, weakened and then dropped sharply in final stages of trading. A show of re sistance flecked the list but did little to stem the retreating tide of prices. Leading issues showed losses running to around 3 points, anda few broke between 5 and 10 points. ' The Associated Press average of 60 stocks lost a full dollar 1102.50. That was the widest loss since Feb. 20 when severe selling swept the market to the lowest point of the year. Rails, oils, steel, motors, chemi cals, non-ferrous metals, rubbers and others Tuesday were engulfed in the slide. A lot of individual strength was based on corporate developments. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks fell $1 at 1102.50 with the industrial component down $1.20, rails down $1.20, and utilities down 30 cents. Volume came to 1,720,000 shares, well above the average so far this year. Monday's total was 1,680,000 shares. There were 1,156 individual Is sues in the board list. Monday there were 1,132 Issues. Only 233 advanced while 671 declined with 66 new highs touched on the up swing and 39 new lows reached for the year. Stocks and Bonds Compiled bv The Associated Press.

Half of Oregon Farms Have V Phone Service BY LXLUB L. MADSEX Farm Editor, The Statesman Only a little more than one-half of the farms in Oregon have tele phone service. This is somewhat below the percentage for Wash ington, Idaho and California. Washington's percentage of rural telephones runs higher than any one other of the four western states., Oregon's rural telephone percentage is SU with Washington 57.5 and California, 57.4. Idaho's runs to 55 J3. These figures are the result of a survey made recently by a rural housing- and utilities committee of which Mrs. Robert Hamilton. Rlckreall, is a member. The survey shows that in 1920 most farm telephone service was provided by farmer-owned facili ties. New, the vast bulk of it is supplied bycommercial telephone companies. ' On the other hand, the survey shows that 91 per cent of the farms in Oregon have electric service and that 50.5 farm homes have electric water heaters. A total of 83 per cent of the farm homes In Oregon have electric washing ma chines. Home freezers, relatively new. developments, were found in over 15 per cent of the farm homes in late 1951. The committee, with Mrs. Lee Holliday, Klamath Falls, as chair man, recommended at the recent farm conference held at Corvallis, that small telephone companies would do better by merging, that farmer-owned lines should sell out to commercial telephone companies and that rural patrons on estab lished lines should urge the in stallation of dial telephones as rapidly as possible, and submit complaints in a group when ser vices are not satisfactory. The committee showed that farms in the Pacific Northwest use much more power than farms in other parts of . the United States and that the supply of power here is not equal to the demand, nor will it be for some years to come. However, farm use of power Is expected to increase greatly in the next 10 years. Farmers are urged, by committee members, to sup port measures to Increase power supplies.
