Stock Dealings
At Standstill
In Listless Day
New York, June 21 W Stock
market dealings almost came to a
halt today, and prices shifted nar
rowly, as many traders remained
Inactive pending publication of the
German-French armistice details.
Apathy, prevailing at the start,
continued during the remainder of
the session and transfers, for the
five hours, approximated 300,000
shares, one of the smallest aggre
gates In nearly a year. Gains and
losses of fractions were pretty
evenly split at the close.
Steels were aided by another boost
In the scrap metal. Motors kept
their balance along with a handful
of specialties, rails, motors and utili
ties. Resistant were U. S. Steel, Beth
lehem, Chrysler, General Motors,
Douglas Aircraft, United Aircraft,
Glenn Martin, Allied Chemical,
Consolidated Edison, Johns-Man-ville,
Eastman Kodak, Brooklyn
Manhattan Transit, Santa Pe and
N. Y. Central.
Backward the greater part of the
day were American Telephone,
American Smelting, J. C. Penney,
Montgomery Ward, Sears Roebuck,
International Nickel and General
Electric.
Rail loans were the best In a list
less bond department. Major com
moditis were relatively steady.
Dow Jones preliminary closing
stock averages: Industrial 122.61,
up 0.26; rail 25.53, up 0.02; utility
21.13 up 0.03; and 63 stocks 41.21,
up 0.07.
Stock sales approximated only
330,000 shares, the smallest for a
live hour session since July 10 last
year when only 260,000 were turn
ed over. Yesterday's volume was
590,000 shares. Curb stock sales
were 75,000 against 103,000 in the
previous session.
Buoyant Retail
Sales Rule Week
New York, June 21 (A1) Buoyant
retail sales ruled shopping In the
nation's retail stores this week for
the third weekly period In a row,
Dun to Bradstreet reported today.
Sales for the country as a whole
averaged 6 to 11 percent above last
year, the credit agency satd.
While gift sales for June weddings
and schol and college graduations
attracted heavy buying, there was a
strong undertone in staple Items
also, with heavy turnover in annual
clearances of rugs and other floor
coverings.
"Although promotional or seasonal
merchandise topped the sales list,
trade was of a general character
which merchants considered a heavy
sign," the agency said.
"Buying of men's wear, often con
sidered a barometer of consumer
sentiment, moved well. After suc
cessful Father's day promotions, It
was welcomed as an especially fav
orable indlctator.
"Refrigerators were said to be In
less demand than a month ago, but
ranges and small appliances contin
ued active, and some stores said the
slump early In May had already
been more than overcome."
Wholesale trade also expanded,
with increased Inquiries for metal
housewares, liquors, woolen goods,
and staple dry goods. Fall commit
ments, however, were still being
placed cautiously, the agency said,
although "a more liberal attitude"
was noted by wholesalers among an
Increasing number of buyers, par
ticularly those from Industrial re
gions. Salem Markets

Government
Logan Purchases
Progressing
The government loganberry deal
in which the federal surplus com
modities corporation has agreed to
take up to 1,200 tons of loganber
ries in this state is progressing rap
idly with over 800 tons signed up by
this morning, a big block expected
over from Stayton and more to
come in from the Salem section.
The loganberries are being pro
cessed through Paulus brothers and
Hunt brothers canneries, the grow
ers taking their choice as to where
to deliver.
Three men are in charge here
for the commodities corporation on
the deal and all fruit is government
inspected before and after it goes
into the cans. The fruit will be
distributed by the government with
school free lunches.
The corporation has offices with
the Chamber of Commerce and is
still taking growers' offers to sell at
the 2lA cent per pound price fixed
for the surplus berries.
Indications are that virtually all
of the tonnage not taken by private
purchase by the canneries will be
absorbed in the deal. One of the
canneries had contracts which took
the equivalent of what its old
growers deiivered last year and in
a number of cases the growers have
more than last year and these ab
sorb some of the surplus. Another
of the canneries had a deal where
it was taking half of the product
of the growers contracted with and
the other half will go. into the gov
ernment deal so the total will prob
ably reach around the 1,200 mark
approved as well as take up prac
tically all of the slack.
Quiet Trend
In Wheat
Chicago, June 21 (U.R) Wheat
prices held within a narrow range
today In one of the quietest sessions
of the year. Prices were somewhat
higher most of the session.
Wheat closed unchanged to
cent higher, July 78U-78V4. Corn
was up tt-Vi cent, July 62-62U,
oats unchanged to M cent higher,
July 3UB, and rye unchanged to
down Js cent, July 4191a, Soy beans
were cent higher, July 78b.
Traders in the wheat pit were in
clined to hold back pending re
ports on the outcome of peace ne-
gotiatlons between France and the
axis powers. Outside wheat mar
kets also felt the lack of trading
Interest and price fluctuations re
mained near previous closing lev
els. Export interest was flat.
Scattered demand In the first
half of the session gave the Chi
cago market a firmer tone. Prices
steadied at fractionally higher lev
els. Light buying interest was par
tially offset by selling, believed to
be against purchases of wheat at
Minneapolis,
Corn trade followed wheat and
volume was very light. No shipping
sales had been reported at noon and
bookings to-arrlve amounted to
only 1,500 bushels. Receipts on
track in Chicago were estimated
early at 303 cars.
Other grains reflected the ex
treme quietness in wheat dealings
and price movements were small
Soy beans showed some firmness.
United Dairymen
Expand Next Week
Seattle, June 21 O?1) The Post-
Intelligencer said today the United
Dairymen's association, one of the
largest farm cooperatives in the
United States, will become even larg
er next week when three new dairy
associations become affiliated with
lt. The expansion, 3lated for June
29, will give the association a mem
bership of 26 affiliated associations
in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and
Montana.
United they will represent 22,000
dairy farmers, with 150,000 dairy
cows and an annual business of ap
proximately $15,000,000,
The new members will be the
Farmers Cooperative Creamery of
McMinnvillc, Ore., the Dairymen's
Cooperative association of Portland
and the Tacoma Milk Producers as
sociation.
The Post Intelligencer said the
Grays Harbor dairy farmers, who
withdrew from the Grays Harbor as
sociation some years ago to form the
Milk Producers union, have disband
ed that organization and re-joined
their old association, thus further
expanding the United's membership,

Washington, June 21 (JP) The
navy announced today that its own
yard at Norfolk, Va had been de
signated to build a 25,000-ton air

around 100 planes, is expected to
cost more than $60,000,000. Navy
officials estimated the construction

emergency defense appropriation
nearing completion in congress.
The carrier whose construction
was assigned today will be the larg

designed to carry war planes. Two
other carriers now in service, the
Lexington and Saratoga, are larger
33,000 tons each but both were
converted from battle cruisers.
The navy said work on the new
vessels would start immediately and
was expected to be finished within

Canada
A sweeping bill giving Prime
industry, wealth and property
Winston Churchill's cabinet is con
ducting the war.
Royal assent to Canada's con
scription bill is expected to be given
shortly after the new govemor-gen
eral, Lord Athlone, is sworn Into of
fice at noon.
Lord Athloiw is the king's repre
sentative in Canada. -
The emergency conscription bill
permits the cabinet to rule by de
cree and will enable Canada to uti
lize every resource In waging total
war.
It was passed unanimously by the
house and without a record vote,
the members pounding their desks
to signify their approval.
The senate, in turn, rushed it
through the required three readings
and passed lt in less than an hour.
Government Senate Leader Raoul
Dandurand told the upper chamber
that the calling up of men under
the measure would begin "before
the next session of parliament."
Nominal Prices
Of 35 cts. for Hops
Portland, June 21 (P) Nominal
values of about 35 cents a pound
prevailed on regular type 1940 clus
ter hops today in the absence of ac
tual transactions.
Seedless types on this year's
crop ranged around 40 to 41 cents
a pound.
Interest centered primarily on the
condition of the new crop and
some reports said the week was less
favorable than the previous period.
Many small vines have not develop
ed satisfactorily and the downy mil
dew spread has been heavy.
Most trade advices to the depart
ment of agriculture marketing ser
vice said the Oregon output would
bo well below average.
Weather Stops
Mold in Onions
Hazel Green The recent warm
weather was a boon to the onion
growers, as the spread of mold, due
to the sultry weather conditions, was
becoming a menace in the seed on
ions and also making headway
among the new crop. But with the
change In weather the danger has
been removed and lt Is hoped noth
ing further will happen to mar
the prospects of a bumper crop for
1940. Some growers in the La
bish Center region have reported
losses by maggots which have
caused considerable damage to the
small onions, but so far this com
munity has reported no such dam
age.
Picking of youngberrles has com
menced in the Alvln Van Cleave
patch and also harvesting of lo-
gans is well under way in the
Sharp and Charles Ziellnski fields
Cherry picking will be completed
soon as the yield was light in most

Hitler Receives
French Envoys
In Foch Car
(Continued from page 1)
Itary precision. He arrived at 3:15
pjn. with his top military leaders
as well as Rudolf Hess, his deputy
for party affairs, and Foreign Min
ister von Ribbentrop.
The fuehrer surveyed with inter
est the railway car, which had been
moved out of the special building
where the French had enshrined it
at the exact spot where it stood
when Foch dictated the 1918 ar
mistice terms.
Inside Hitler occupied the same
seat that had been occupied by
Foch.
Hitler Leaves French
As he looked out the railroad car
window he could see a nearby mar
ble bust of Foch.
When Hitler left the car, a band
played "Deutschland Uber Alles"
("Germany Above All") and the
nazl party hymn, the Horst Wessel
song. The French representatives
were left behind to consider the
terms handed them.
The French officers had been
provided a tent for their quarters
outside the railway car. Telephone
facilities were installed to permit
them to call their government.
Those Present
(German) Field Marshal Her
mann Wilhelm Goering, Grand Ad
miral Erich Raeder, von Ribben
trop, (French) Rear Admiral Mau-
rlse Athanase LeLuc, General
Charles Huntziger, Leon Noel, Gen
eral of Aviation Jean Marie Joseph
Bergeret, (Genman) Hess and Kei
tel. The French listened silently while
Keltel read.
Then they filed out to their tent
to telephone their government.
Hitler reviewed an honor guard
outside the car while the band
thumped out German anthems; i
then left Compiegne as swiftly as
he had arrived.
When the French delegates ent
ered the old car, Hitler and his
staff rose to greet them in con
trast, German officials asserted, to
the manner In which the German
delegates were greeted in 1918.
Then, it was declared, the victorious
French did not rise. 1
Nazi Salute
Hitler and his staff gave the nazi
salute and the fuehrer asked Keitel
to read the preamble. The general
immediately began.
Beside the officials present, the
only others to witness the ceremony
were German and foreign newspa
permen and officials of the foreign
office and the propaganda minis
try.
Only the preamble, with its state
ment of broad purposes, was made
public immediately.
The detailed terms for the arm
istice which the French took to
their tent were not disclosed at
once.
Gentian authorities previously
had said the terms would not be
published until France had accept
ed or rejected them.
A guard greeted the fuehrer as
he arrived at the railway car.
Looks at Monument
After saluting the Alsace-Lor
raine monument, Hitler walked
down a long lane in the hot sun
to where another monument to
Marshal Foch stands in commem
oration of the 1918 armistice.
With arms folded, Hitler looked at
the inscriptions, then quickly ent
ered the car.
Dr. Paul Schmidt, the fuehrer's
famous interpreter, read a French
translation of the preamble after
the German version was read by
Keitel.
After Hitler's departure Keitel
and the general staff officers re
mained In the railway coach to dis
cuss technical details of the ca
pitulation. At 4:24 p. m. (6:24 p. m. PST) the
French left the car for the nearby
tent where telephone, writing and
other facilities were provided them.
Stopped in Paris
The French envoys passed ad
vanced German lines near Tours
yesterday. There, Lieutenant Gen
eral von Tip Pelskirch, chief army
quartermaster, received them and
acompanied them to Compiegne.
They stayed over night in a Paris
hotel, then continued the Journey
to nearby Compiegne.
Lieutenant General Thomas, com
mander of the fuehrer's headquart
ers, received them and took them to
the actual scene.
German sentries stood at all
paths leading into the forest and
the entire zone was blocked off.
Hitler was taken swiftly from the
forest, streaked by the hot sun, its
trees shattered anew by artillery
fire, Its soil again soaked with
French and German blood.
