Fourteen
Stocks Edge
Higher in Dull
Turnover

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.

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

The body of Mrs. Burgard was
found In a rocking chair the day

Bill Extends
Lending by RFC
Washington, Feb. Si. W) The
house passed legislation Monday
extending lending powers of the
Reconstruction Finance corporation
and life of the Electric Home and
Farm authority until June 30, 1941
The measure goes to the senate
which has approved similar legis
latlon.
The house approved the bill on a
voice vote after republicans were
defeated In an attempt to abolish
the Electric Home and Farm auth
ority. Rep. 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.
The bill originally called for ex
tension of RFC powers to Jan. 15,
1941, but an amendment advancing
the date to June 30 was adopted
without opposition.
The house turned down, by
standing vote of 110 to 89, an
amendment by Rep. Wolcott R
Mich.) to take from the president
the right to stop or suspend RFC
loans, regardless of the views of the
RFC directors.
It would have allowed the presl
dent to halt RFC lending only upon
tne advice of the RFC board.
Dresses, skirts and blouses
ceived in the United States
year were valued at 11.177,983.
