No one puts in an order for 100 shares of "Average" common. He buys a specific issue. While its price from day to day is affected by the general swings of the market, it is affected more by the perform ance of the company which has issued it. Since "misery loves company," one who sees the price of a. stock he owns dropping from day to day has his misery eased to note that other securities are riding the escalator down. And many have. The financial pages in recent days have listed scores of securities which touched new lows for the year, and mighty few that hit a new high. Conservatives in finance are ready with the explanation that the price drop was long overdue. Numerous investment services have been raising warning signs for years, some of them missing the 1953-57 bull market en tirely. Now they can say "I told you so," which merely attests the fact that if one sticks to a position long enough events usually will prove him correct. What seems to have happened was that hopes were overcapitalized. "Growth" stocks failed to keep on growing. The year opened In the aftermath of the Suez crisis which had depressed the prices of the international oils. As that crisis ended, the oil companies, in cluding the internationals, showed whopping first quarter profits. That helped fuel the midsummer boom which crested in July. A better sign was the skid in metals. These are natural resources, presumably good infla tion hedges. In early 1956 the price of cop per went to 46 cents a pound. Then it broke, sharply, and has got down to 27 cents a pound. Lead and zinc prices followed. Other commodity prices declined, lumber for ex ample. Reports in midsummer showed that inventories had increased rather than de creased as was expected; and when the last quarter failed to confirm the assurances of business improvement, the bears took over on Wall Street. Now the question is, has the decline gone far enough? Will the market "level off" or will it bounce back? Being neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, we cannot say. One would think that it has gone far enough, per haps too far in view of the very substantial volume of business now being conducted. Trading psychology may be over-pessimistic, however, as well as over-optimistic. The re cent drop may excite fears out of proportion to reality. Just now people are jumpy sput nik and Syria as well as Wall Street's antics contribute to their nervousness. What seems the most reasonable analysis is that the stock market is going through another of its cor Queen Needled Washington's Press Corps But Few Noticed By A.

This and the attendant credit tightness are the working of the economic mechanism which, while painful at the time, help avert a more unhealthy development. If they can put brakes on inflation without pre cipitating injurious deflation, they will per form a useful function for our economy. Ground Rules for Military Service The Statesman's recent series on prospects for draft-age youth provided a lot of food for cogitation, and was presented in the hope that such information would be useful in chart ing a future course. But it could not help but leave a rallier dismaying impression of the vagaries which surround the sclqctive service and enlistment programs of military services. It is fully recognized that draft quotas can not be set up far in advance, and that each change compels a reappraisal of eligibles on draft board lists through the country. It is true, too, that despite specific instructions from the Pentagon individual draft boards cannot always assess the relative merits of in dividual case's in identical ways. It would be impossible to set up rules to govern each cir cumstance. However, in the light of reduced quotas, we could quarrel considerably with what ap pears to be the present policy of snatching primarily the older youlh (22 to 25i who eith er have asked no deferment previously or have been automatically deferred for educa tion or both. The 19 to-22-year-olds who are attending colleges ar.e placing themselves in a position to contribute more to (he nation, and we have no criticism of the program which defers them. Nor can we quarrel will) their being drafted when they finish school if their num ber is drawn or if they are needed to fill out quotas. Certainly they should not expect per manent deferment. But to aim specifically at taking them at an older age of 22 to 25. when many of them have been married and already have entered their life work, and when quotas do not even need the thousands of younger men with no reason for deferment, seems rank discrimi nation. Catching some men just before they reach over-age (26) to make certain they fulfill their military obligations, would be all right if everyone was to be called. But everyone isn't. By pointing specifically to the older group, and letting alone the youngsters many of whom are rather at loose ends anyway, select ive service is not exercising its proper func tion. It is. in effect, aiming only at the so called cream.- As for the vagaries of military enlistment programs when one time a youth is permit ted to fulfill his obligations with six months of active duty and a few months later another youth is told he must serve two or more ycars, how can the military expect much more than a watchand-wait or lct's ride-it-out atti tude on the part of prospective enlistees and draftees? American youth in peace-time is entitled to a better break as to a knowledge of what may be expected of it and when. k it -fr tt -fr Vt Vr it Most of our shrimp come from the Gulf of Mexico where they grow to big sizes.

I'ndcr those circumstances only a queen could smile and tell her tormentors that their "independ ence and sense of fair play have rightly earned the respect and af fection of honest people every where."

Take ulcers, which many trace, in part at least, to excessive ten sionfive times as many women as men die of duodenal ulcers. There is the old saying that "man works from sun to sun, but wo men's work is never done." That isn't true any more, that is, the housewife end of it. Without mini mizing the labors of the homes maker they are not, on the ave rage as heavy as formerly. A bat tery of appliances and modern conveniences spare her many of the rigors of cleaning and cook ing, ore preparing of foods is done outside the home. Family health is better, particularly that of the wife and mother. No longer is she expected to go into a decline when she reaches the age of SO. The social consequences are ap parent. More women are working land as they rise in executive re sponsibilities maybe more of them will get ulcers. Women will take a more active part in politics and public affairs. Competition for mates will become keener among women, which is apt to increase the divorce rate as more sfiRres sue females prowl among men already married. Women will con trol even more of the wealth than at present, and their patronage will rise in ratio in mercantile es tablishments. What chance is there to even up the mortality rate by lengthening the life span of the male? Green berg says that will call for a radi cal modification of our. mores: "The male would have to jetti son his cult of manliness and abandon his illusion of biological superiority. And the female would have to give up her demand for special consideration and accept the responsibilities of her greater stamina. The shock to both egos might be severe." - r . 1 And yet, may not something along that line happen? If the population disparity widens the male will become the one sought after, and under the operation of the old law of supply and demand he may become more "demand ing." Biochemists keep fooling around with their test tubes mixing solu tions of proteins and amino acids; but none predicts that the male will become biologically unneces sary. Nature will manage to sup ply enough of both sexes to keep the race alive, but men and wo men may have to make adjust ments in their way of life to main tain a closer equality in numbers.

Futile. OCTOBER REVOLUTION v. Gongfessional Quiz WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 (CQ)- Lobbies and population figures are pushing Congress toward a de cision on Federal medical insur ance for the aged. The AFL-CIO is mobilizing its 15 million members behind a bill to authorize the Federal legisla tion as it has in the past. Instead, a special AMA committee is study ing how private health insurance for the elderly can be extended. The American Hospital Assn., representing most V. S. hospitals, also has appointed a committee to study (he health problems of the aged. The Association s position on Federal "medical Insuranre would be based largely oa Its committee's findings. The American Nurses Assn., rep resenting 181,000 nurses, will de cide whether to take a position on Federal medical insurance for the elderly at its December con vention, v This buildup of interest among lobbies in the health problems of the aged already is being felt by members of Congress. The growing ranks of elderly give the health insurance question added urgency. Social Security Administration figures show that In 1900 people ti years eld or older made up 4 per percent of aged la the population cent of the population. By 1955, the more than doubled to 8.4 percent. The administration predicts the percentage will jump to about 10 percent by 1970, 13 percent by 2000 and 19 percent by 2050. The problem is that people 65 or older have a hard time getting insurance against nospuanzaiion and nursing home expenses that so often go along with old age. Sickness often wipes out their sav ings or forces them to apply for charity treatment by hospitals. The Social Security Administration es timated that about 45 percent of the people 65 orover have some kind of health insurance, butthat it pays for only about 25 percent of their actual medical bills. The answer, according to the AFL-CIO, is to raise the social security tai and use the extra money to pay the medical bills of those receiving social security checks. The AFL-CIO has endors ed a bil introduced by Rep. Alme J. Forahd (I). R.I.) to provide such Insurance. Forand's bill would increase the tax employers and employees each pay for Old Age and Survivors Insurance coverage by H of 1 per cent. It also would tax the first $6,000 of wages instead of the first $4,200 as now. The tax for the self-employed would be raised by of 1 per cent. The resulting in come for the social security fund would be used for a general 10 percent increase in OASI pay ments and the new medical in surance program. The medical assistance would be available to anyone receiving his social security checks or to anyone eligible for them. Forand esllmales this amounts to about 13 million persona. The unofficial estimate of the cost of the medical program Is $600 million for the year 1959. The Federal Government would pay for up to 60 days of hospitali zation a year and the cost of surgery, including dental surgery. It also would pay for a maximum of 60 days of .nursing home ex penses if the person was sent there after being hospitalized. The patient 'could choose his own doc tor and dentist, just as under priv ate, plans. George Meany, president of the AFL-CIO, says Forand's proposals are necessary, sound -and en lightened." Forand himself calls them "modest," adding that'they have been limited deliberately to facilitate enactment of this much needed -measure in 1958." But the AMA legislative com mittee already has come ant against the Forand bill and the general membership Is expected to endorse that stand at Us De cember convention. AMA contends private soarces eaa da the job. 1 for the aged Just as they have done for the general population. More than two-thirds of the U. 8. population is covered by private hospitalization insurance. An AMA spokesman said the Association fears that leglslatioa such as the Forand bill would pave the way for socialized medicine and socialization- of other businesses. The AMA does not plan to build its argument around the fact that the Social Security Administration already estimates it will pay out more money -in benefits than it takes in as contributions in fiscal 1958, 1959 and 1960. New 1960 so cial security taxes already on the books are estimated to put the fund., back in balance by fiscal 1961. There has been no action in past years on bills similar to For and's. Congress also has not acted on a proposal by President Eisen hower to have the Federal Gov ernment assume some of the risk of private health insurance. But Forand Is the fourth-ranking Democrat oa the House Ways and Means Committee which will de cide whether to send his bill to the floor for a vote. This strategic positioa plus strong AFL-CIO backing may be enough to force at least Congressional hearings on the bill In 1958 a big step to ward getting the measure to the floor. At the very least, the proposal and others like it will give new prominence to the plight of the aged trying to pay rising medical bills with a fixed income. (Copyright 1957.

AWOL West Point Cadet In Bullet Battle With Police WEST POINT, N.Y.P Oct. 20 ( An AWOL West Point cadet his head bruised by a policeman's gun butt faced stern disciplinary ac tion tonight as academy officers investigated his bullet -spattered battle with police. Under guard in cadet quarters was David M. Ellman, 19-year-old Dlebe who led police on a wild, 25-minute chase last night in an allegedly stolen car through the Solon Asks Ike To Halt Military Research Slash WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 I Sen Monroney D-Oklai urged Presi dent Eisenhower today to wipe out an Aug. 17 order by former Sec retary of Defense Charles E. Wil son slashing military research and development spending at least 170 million dollars. The order by Wilson, before he quit as secretary of defense this month, was not made public at the time he issued it. A depart ment spokesman, who made it available today in answer to an Hnquiry, said Wilson s aim was to have the Army, Navy and Air Force "review closely and care fully the research test and eval uation program" in view of the economy pinch on defense spend ing. The program provides for spend ing five billion dollars during the fiscal year which started July 1. It includes $1,700,000,000 for basic research and $3,300,000,000 for re search and development procure ment. Wilson ordered savings equal to 10 per cent of each service s por tion of the $1,700,000,000. However, a department spokesman said, Wil son intended that the amount should come out of the $3,300,000, 000 procurement fund. The spokesman said the three services have taken a different approach: The Navy has made a detailed study project by project on which to base its cutbacks the Air Force has ordered a flat 5 per cent cut; the Army is carry ing out a program involving both the Navy and Air Force systems. As a result, it's not clear now whether the cut is being made from only the procurement portion or dips into the basic research totals. Pentagon officials have said basic research would not be touched and Wilson told a Sept. 19 news conference all the basic research funds would "be utilized.' Japan Fields Whaling Team After Doubts KOBE, Japan, Oct. 20 W After a little more trouble fielding a team, Japan sent off a vanguard fleet today to the 12th annual In ternational Whaling Olympics. There was some pregame ten sion on the docks this morning when the crews of 10 catcher boats refused to end a holdout for more money. The mother ship of the fleet' left without them. But before long, the owners came across with a compromise and the crewmen climbed aboard and, set sail for Antarctic waters. The crews wanted a $770 commis sion. They agreed to take $727 plus about $10 for each man if they catch the limit of 4,855 blue whales. In all. Japan will send six fleets into the competition that is, six mother ships and 68 catchers. The rest of the Japanese team will leave for the Antarctic later. Norway won last year, being the first to catch the 1957 limit of 6,247 blue whales. Japan was sec ond. Other nations competing this year are Britain, with three fleets and the Soviet Union and the Netherlands, with one fleet each. South Africa has withdrawn from this year's competition. The season opens Jan. 7 and closes April 7. The International Whaling Commission in London, which sets the limit on whale catches, .set the 1958 goal at 4,855. The winner gets no prize.

But the United Auto Workers' president and AFL-CIO vice pres ident said it has yet to be shown that such things as longer work ing hours or a wage freeze are necessary in such an undertaking. In an ABC-TV interview "Col lege News Conference" Reuther said U. S. industry is not work ing at furl capacity and should be mobilized. Then, he said, it would be appropriate to see whether longer hours are needed and "if Lit made the difference between success ana taiiure in me strug gle between freedom and tyranny you would hear us say Just tell us how long and we'll go to work." He said the launching of the Russian satellite was a "blood less Pearl Harbor" that might jolt the United States out of complac ency. Includes Agreement He was asked whether his pro posals for a crash program would also include foregoing wage in creased and replied in similar vein. Labor's war record, he said, included agreeing to a wage freeze. Reuther said that in forthcom ing bargaining with the automo bile and other industries, "we don't want one red cent in higher wages or other benefits that would cause the price of an auto mobile to go up one penny." Reuther said "we are going to have more to say" about the re jected proposal his union made to automobile companies that they reduce prices by $100 against a union offer to take the reduction into account in bargaining. Reuther insisted the offer was a genuine one, not made merely for publicity, and that "we were committing ourselves." Reuther refused several times to say flatly whether he will vote to expel the scandal - tainted Teamsters' Union when the AFL CIO Executive Council considers its case next Thursday. He said he could not do so because he was going to sit in judgment, and be sides that he wanted information on what the union had done dur ing the 30-day answer time al lowed it. Agrees With Report But Reuther said he agreed with the critical report on the un ion by the AFL-CIO Ethical Prac tices Committee and that "in the free labor movement there can be no compromise with communism or with corruption." Reuther also said the Democrat ic party has to "make up its mind whether it believes, in civil rights and will fight for them and let the Dixiecrats go their own sep arate way. or it will forfeit the right to the support of decent Americans who believe in civil rights." ' When Reuther was asked, "Do you want to be president of the United States some day," he re plied smilingly, "I do not."

Polish Catholics Warn Against Stalinism Return WARSAW, Oct. 20 -A paper which reflects the views of the Polish Itoman Catholic "Church warned today of "two mortal dan gers" threatening Polish inde pendence from opposite political directions. It said one of the dangers is anarchism and the other "those forces which would give way to a com lsjon..in olher . . r imsm. The paper, Tygodnik Powszech ny of Krakow, a Catholic weekly close to Stefan Cardinal Wyszyn ski, strongly defended the achievements of the bloodless rev olution ofOctober. a year ago, which brought Wladyslaw Go mulka to power and gained for Poland a considerable degree of independence from Soviet control in domestic policy. It said, "De fense of October is defense of rea sonable compromise." F.ngage Forces "We engage our forces." tht weekly declared, "in an effort to prevent the great national Octo ber achievement from being wast ed. " In a 2.000-word, front-page edi torial published on the first an niversary of "Polish October." Tygodnik Powszechny said: "We see lively democratic tendencies -encountering stubborn resistance of conservative elements which defend the old order." This was an obvious reference to the Stalinist wing of the Polish Communist movement which has been attempting to undermine the Gomulka regime. At the same time the paper as sailed various forms of conflict and disturbances which "ruin the nation's peace." Bishops Rap Red Orders In East Reich BERLIN, Oct. 20 UB-The Evan gelical Lutheran bishops of Communist-ruled East Germany warned parents today they have to choose between Red youth dedi cation or church consecretation rites for their children. The warning came in a joint statement read from pulpits at Evangelical Church services throughout East Berlin and East Germany. It climaxed a year-long battle between church and stale over dedication ceremonies in which teen-agers are pledged to loyalty to the Communist state. The Communist government has repeatedly accused the Evangeli cal Church of displaying a hostile attitude toward the state through efforts to keep young people from participating in the dedication rites. The church has countered with charges that youths are in stigated against religion in prepa ration for the rites. In today's warning, the bishops reaffirmed earlier statements that boys and girls can only have either the Communist or the church rites. It is an 'either or' issue," ths statement said. "It is impossible to reconcile both ceremonies." Death Toll Not Linked to Powerful Cars, Study Shows CHICAGO. Oct. 20 (JrV-The Na tional Safety Council said today study "has failed to establish any conclusive relationship be tween higher horsepower and the rising traffic toll." The study was made by the council's Committee on Speed headed by Donald S. Berry of Northwestern University. The committee also stated: "While higher horsepower does increase the top speed potential of motor vehicles, it is absorbed in part by softer tiros and in new power accessories. "Higher horsepower also pro provides additional acceleration potential, which can reduce dis tance required for passing other vehicles, thereby contributing to accident prevention." 3y d.refiotiG$tatt8iuai Phone EM 4-SS11 .
