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.

CHICAGO GRAIN
CHICAGO. Dec. 21 ( API Preliminary
forecast of a hlg 1941 winter wheat
crop to be piled on top of a probable
record-breaking carryover next July 1
gave the wheat market only a tem
porary setback today and wheat futures
rallied a cent after an early fractional
aelback.
Prices dipped at the opening hut
later recovered and held fractionally
ahove yesterday's finish. However, at
around 79', for July. 1041, contracts,
the new wheat rrop was quoted a full
dime a bushel below the price for con
tracts deliverable this month and about
20 cents tower than a year ago. Part of
the demand was attributed to mills,
with scattered flour business reported.
The official report placing condition
of winter wheat at the best figure for
LONDON, Dec. 21. (P) The
admiralty declared tonight that
a document found by British sea
men in an Italian submarine in
structed Italian submarine com
manders to attack 'certain Span
ish merchant ships without warn
ing." The admiralty released what it
described as a photograph of the
original document to the press. It
was addressed to the commandant
of an Italian submarine group.
The purported order was signed
by Mario Falangola, vice admiral
commanding submarines, and the
admiralty offered the following
translation:
"Inform the units under your
command that ships flying the
Spanish flag belonging to the
Ybarra and the Pinillos shipping
companies leaving or coming from
Casablanca (Morocco) and sail
ing towards Lisbon must be at
tacked without warining. The
steamers of the Ybarra company
have a black funnel with the let
ters 'A' and 'V interlaced in white.
The house flag is blue and bears
the same monogram in white.
The Pinollos company has not
any particular markings. It ap

Nazis Ask Recall
Of 2 U. S. Attaches
BERLIN. 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. M
Great Britain has more merchant
shipping under her control today
than ever before in her long mar
itime history, according to a sur
vey by, the national maritime
union (CIO), which placed the
figure at nearly 17,000,000 tons.
The survey was described today
by National Organizer Howard
McKenzie, who conducted it, as
proof that the cry 'all aid to Brit
ain' is little less than out-right
duplicity.

Wheeler Hits Lease
Proposal As Foolish
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21.
u.R Sen. 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."

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.
Mrs. Greer, the baby in her
arms, was greeted by her husband
on her arrival in a United Air
liner. They explained that Mrs.
Greer's sister, Mrs. Harry Wisner
of Rochester, notified them two
days ago that she had "found just
the baby you've been looking for"
and had arranged for adoption.
Mrs. Greer flew east immediately,
adopted the child, named her
Janet, hustled back to the airport
and was home with her new
daughter 24 hours later. "We still
have time," announced Greer, "to
get acquainted and pick out some
thing to suit Janet for Christmas."
