The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon
Stock Break
Led by Mining
And Telephone
New York, March ai U.B A
harp break in mining shares which
have Mexican holdings and a de
cline to a new low lor 3 years In
American Telephone & Telegraph
capital stock featured an otherwise
narrow stock market today.
Persistent weakness in the min
ing group unsettled the market
after early strenght. Trading was
lighter.
American smelting broke to 50
off 4S: Howe Sound 39 off 4; U. 8.
Smelting 81 off 4 and Its preferred
64 ! off 2',i: and Greene Cananea
40 off 4 U. All these companies have
holdings in Mexico and traders
feared the Mexican government
would expropriate them as It did
holdings of American and British
oil companies.
Oil shares of companies involved
in the Mexican expropriation held
well today.
Copper company stocks without
direct Mexican holdings were firm
most of the day. Oold mining Is
sues rose early under lead of Home-
stake mining which sold at 58 up
3. Later they receded.
Steel Issues were higher early
when U. S. steel sold at 62 up
114 and Bethlehem at 5874 up IS.
The latter receded to a small loss,
while steel was unchanged.
Railroad Issues dipped to fraC'
tlonal losses. U. 8. rubber prefer'
red made a new high at 81 up 2
and then fell to 77. Farm Issues
turned down from an early advance
in which International Harvester
old at S3! up 1.
Utilities eased on reports Chair
man Morgan of the TVA planned
to resign. Weakness In American
Telephone, which touched 12514 off
3, was said to be based on the
forthcoming federal communica
tions commission report on its in
vestigation of the company.
Building issues held well, aided
by the report of Engineering News
Record for the first 11 weeks of
1038. In that period, the publica
tion said, engineering construction
awards totaled 8575.027,000, a rise
of 22 per cent from the correspond
ing period last year and the best
for any such period since 1929.
Dow Jones closing stock averages:
Industrial 120.29, off 0.14; rail 23.61
off 0.07; utility 1788, off 0.10; 70
stocks 37.79, off 0.09 Stock sales ap
proximated 540,000 shares, against
1,580,000 Friday. Curb stock sales
were 130,000 shares against 280,000
Friday.

Immunization
Program Gets
Under Way
A program of Immunization
against diphtheria and smallpox, a
Joint project of the Marlon county
health department, 40 ec 8 division
of the American Legion, the Parent
Teacher association and the com
munity service committee of the
Legion auxiliary, got under way
late last week. By the time the pro
gram Is brought to a conclusion early
In April, it is the hope of the back
ers that every pre-school child in
the county will have been immun
ized. Increases in cases of diphtheria
and smallpox In the county in the
last few years are identical with in
crease in population, an analysis
of health statistics and population
figures reveals. In the five year per
iods from 1920 to 1925, 1925-30 and
1930-35, the school census showed an
increase of 1000 children each, but
in the three years between 1935
and 1938 the Increase has been al
most 2000 school children. Much of
this incrase is due to new popula
tion, coming from states where
there has been less emphasis placed
on public health than has been evi
dent in Marlon county.
The health department, In mak
ing the present special effort to
further the work, of immunization
and vaccination through clinics, has
sent to parents of every birth re
gistered in the county in 1934, 35 and
36 a card telling about the clinics.
The special reminders number 2000.
The schedule of clinics set up for
pre-school children, all to be held

Back a! Medford
Medford, March 21 UP Roy J.
Rogers, for the past twelve seasons
frost observer (or the upper and
central Rogue river valley, has
started preliminary work for the
frost season, with the testing of
orchard theronometers and the es
tcbllshment of fifteen stations In
strategically located orchards.
Floyd Young, chief frost meteor
ologist for the Pacific coast states,
arrived this morning on a tour of
inspection of the northwest fruit
districts, including Hood River, Ya
kima and wena tehee.
Frost danger in the pear and
other fruit orchards of the Rogue
river valley Is not Imminent, owing
to the tardy development of the
buds due to cold weather the past
month.
Placing of smudge pots In the or
chards has been delayed by wet
and rainy conditions.

Cattle Prices to
Remain Unchanged
Washington, March 21. (U.R) The
Department of Agriculture said to
day that cattle prices probably will
remain near present levels during
the next several months.
In view of the unusually sharp
decline In prices of better grades
of cattle from October through Jan
uary, not much further decline Is
expected, even though slaughter
supplies of cattle are likely to In
crease seasonally during the spring
months, the department said.
During the late summer and fall,
the department said, seasonal Im
provements in prices of the better
grades of cattle may take place. This
Improvement should occur In indus
trial activity and employment, the
department said.
Eye Tissue is
Offered Harding
Oakland. Calif., March 31 WV
The Rev. U. E. Harding, of Portland.
Ore., said today he would decline,
for the time being at least, offers
from two men to provide tissue from
their eyes to restore his falling sight.
The minister said he would not
accept the aid from a "healthy" per
son until he was forced to give up
efforts to secure the cornea tissue
necessary to save him from blind
ness from one dying or condemned
to death.
He Indicated he would seek Inter
views this week with one or more of
13 condemned Inmates of San Quen
tin prison.
The Rev. Mr. Harding said one
offer had come from an unmarried
man, 30 years old. who said he was
out of work and thought he might
change his luck by doing "something
for society."
A group of 8an Francisco eye spe
cialists recently conceived the Idea
of utilizing healthy tissue from the
eyes of the dead for the rare but rel
atively simple operation needed for
the minister. The tissue must be ob
tained within 34 hours after death.
