Newspaper Page TextFourteen Stocks Edge Higher in Dull Turnover New York. Feb. 31 u.fi Stocks edged Irregularly higher In dull pre-hollday dealings today. Trader! showed little disposition to add to commitments In view of the Washington birthday holiday tomorrow when all United States markets, except livestock centers, wlU close. Selling, on the other hand, dwindled. Bonds were mixed In dull turnover. Firmness in rubber, silk and sugar futures featured an other wise soft commodity group. Cotton and grains were steady. Steel shares were aided by private reports placing steel operations for this week above last week's rat. Rail shares were firm on small gains. Support for the group was predicated on indications for higher carload in gs and several heartening January earnings reports. Utilities met a good demand and clung to narrow gains on belief that Secre tary of Commerce Hopkins will say something favorable for the power' and light Industry In his speech at Des Moines Friday. Aircraft shares recovered after a period of early softness. Boeing and Douglas were up almost a point each. Oils were steady. Motor shares met good demand and Chrysler was up point while General Motors had a smaller gain. Rubbers recovered from an early easy spell, with U. S. Rubber sain ing a fraction.

The battle lasted about 30 min utes, the Japanese communique said, with between 40 and 50 Chinese planes engaging the attacking squadron in a dramatic series of dog fights.

Journal Want Ads Pay Way Orbhan take up the offer of the county the city limits after the county specifications, the road will re county would oil the road, the ex penses to balance each other off on a 50-50 basis. This waa never carried out. The latest offer made by the coun ty, state court members, to Mayor Chad wick and Councilman Willis Clark, is that the county would bring the road base up to high class specifications, oil it In excellent shape, and after tills was done turn the road over to the city so it would become a city street. And court members at their discussions today let it be known that this is their last offer and if the city doesn't want to accept this, which they consider very generous, the court will not attempt to oil it. However, it will go ahead and bring the base up to proper specifications and leave lt as a graveled road with a heavy base. It was brought out the county court could vacate the road by reso lution now, If it wished, which would leave it either reverted to the property owners of the city, they were not quite sure which. However. the opinion was it would revert to the property owners, as considerable of the right-of-way was bought by the county for road purposes. If this were to be done lt would then be up to the property owners to handle the road as they saw fit. It was pointed out. But, apparently, unless the city takes up the county s latest offer, the road will be the county's baby, left on the city doorstep, with no body to adopt It McGhie First in Butter Contest Corvallls.

Luce (R-Mass.) offered the amendment, asserting he want ed to obtain a test of congressional sentiment for halting some of the federal government's activities.
