New York Markets NEW YORK. Dec. 21 (API Attempts to break the lengthy stock market stale mate met with further opposition in today's grief session and leading Issues Jogged over a narrowly Irregular route. While scattered specialties managed to tack on gains of a point or more, and fractional advances were fearly well diHtrihuted, minor declines were plenti ful and numerous stocks ended at Fri day's final quotations. Dealings were about on par with those of last Saturday, the two-hour turnover approximating 400.000 shares. Cheerful business items brought sup port for a handful of favoritea but lack of much bullish war news, combined with more year-end tax selling to estab lish losses or gains for income state ment, kept speculative forces subdued.

Dec. 21 (Pi The German government requested the state department in Washington today to recall Cecil M. l i-ross and Leigh W. Hunt, secretaries in the United States embassy in Paris, and embassy employe Mrs. Elizabeth Deegan, on the ground they helped an unnamed British officer who escaped. An official announcement slated that the United States government had heeded the German request and had informed the Reichs gov. ernment that it had started in' vestigations. The announcement said Mrs. Deegan supported the English of ficer in an effort to enable him to flee. German authorities' inves tigations in Paris disclosed that embassy secretaries Cross and Hunt also were involved, the an nouncement asserted. Furthermore, Cross was charg ed with having hidden for months in the embassy building an un named English citizen in the em ploy of the secret service. The agent finally was arrested outside the building, the announcement declared, and confessed espionage against Germany while in the em bassy hideout. Mrs. Deegan, a former resident of Asheville, N. C, was arrested by the Germans in Paris Dec. 5 on a charge of conniving to help British officers escape. She was a receptionist at the Paris em bassy. The United States protest ed. She was released Dec. 14. British Shipping Said To Total 17 Million Tons NEW YORK. Dec. 21.

Burton K. Wheeler, re turning from a defense inspection of Hawaii, yesterday said Presi dent Roosevelt's projected loan or lease of war materials to Britain was a "foolish proposal" which "would lead the United States into the war." "A majority of the people do not approve of it and congress will reject it," he said. "If the plan is carried and the United States is not involved in war as a result, then nothing could involve us ex cept actual declaration of war." Wheeler said that if Britain is actually fighting our war, it is cowardly of us to give only shells and guns and "we ought to be over there fighting." Sen. Elbert Thomas of Utah accompanied Wheeler on the trip to Hawaii "to see what we are get ting for our millions on defense work." dayattheTc TJ ister Pierre-Etienne KST is ill with influent Airliner Brings New Baby To Portland PORTLAND, Dec. 21 CP) The stork rode a swift airliner from Rochester, New York to Portland Friday, bringing into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Greer a 5-week-old adopted daughter in time for Christmas.
