Newspaper Page TextFourteen Stocks Rally Only to Fade In Closing Hours New York, Jan. 21 VP) An early stock market rally, touched oil by renewed strength In rall, faded In the latter part of today's proceed ings and gains running to a point or more were substantially reduced or transformed Into losses of as much. Prices were at the best In the fore noon. Motors, lower throughout, weak ened quickly and steels, trailing with the carriers In the morning, soon slipped Into the minus column. A little bidding appeared In the final hour and closing quotations were above the laws In many Instances. Transfers were around 600,000 shares compared with yesterday's turnover of 377,000, smallest since October 21. Main market drawbacks, brokers said, Included possible actual entry of this country in the European war, taxation problems, likelihood of ex tensive administration controls of Industry, and possibility of a coiv gressional battle over the lend-lease bill acting as a deterrent to re armament. Among shaky stocks were General Motors, Chrysler, U. S. steel, Youngstown Sheet, Westlnghouse, du Pont, Allied Chemical, Anacon da, Texas Corp., International Har vester, Douglas Aircraft, Goodyear, Western Union and Montgomery Ward, Up the greater part of the day were Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, Southern Railway, Great Northern, Union Pacific, U. 8. Rubber Pre ferred and Armour Preferred. Bonds were fairly steady, with rails and utilities doing better than other loans. Dow Jones preliminary closing stock averages: Industrial 128.20, off 1.04; rail 28.90, up 0.05; utility 20.04, Off 0.11; 69 stocks 43.30, off 0.25. Stock sales approximated 680,000 shares compared with 380,000 yester day when turnover was the small' est since last October 1. Curb stock sales were 08,000 shares against 89,' 000 yesterday. 15 Per Cent Gain In Salem Stores San Francisco, Jan. 21 (U.R Sales of Independent retailers In Wash ington and Oregon showed a sub- Btantlal Increase for 1940 over 1939, the census bureau reported here to day.

Among the guest speak ers will be Governor Charles A. Sprague, Earl Snell, secretary of state, and Prof. P. M. Brandt, head' of the department of animal Indus-1 try, Oregon State college. Last year national recognition was given the state club's annual report of activities when It was awarded the Jersey Bulletin sliver trophy for first place among similar clubs throughout the country. This speaks well for the Jersey breeders of Ore- i gon and for the local and state club secretaries who made the re port through W. C. Leth, T. R. warren, western fieldman for the American Jersey Cattle club, recently reported that more than 2500 purebred Jerseys were registered or transferred to new owners during the past year. He al so stated that of the 42 Jerseys that have produced records above 1000 pounds of butterfat, 12 have been developed In Oregon. Several herds averaged over 600 pounds of butter fat per cow on official test. The national association report further Indicates that during the past year Oregon breeders had more cows on official production test than any other state except Ohio, that only 10 states have recorded more new Jersey breeders, and that only 12 states have been granted more junior memberships. Mr. Warren stated that 245 qualified Future Farmer and 4-H club members had been granted membership privileg es during the year. Matters slated to receive attention include the improvement of the Pa cific International exhibit; the ex tension of the Jersey creamllne mar keting program; and location of fu ture annual meetings. Meetings are now held regularly in Salem by au thortly of the constitution whereas it has been proposed that each of the dairy breed association meetings be held in conjunction with and on the first day of the Oregon Fair association meetings. The state club is comprised of 12 county clubs of which the following men are presidents and they serve with state officers as a board of di rectors; M. N. Tibbies, vice-president, Independence; Jack Gribble, Canby; Homer Shelby, Albany; Hen ry Werner, Silverton; E. Mcllvenna, 5408 N.E. Masson, Portland; David Byerly, Amity; C. J. Hunter, Tal ent; M. D. Ackley, Tillamook; Ed ward Robertson, R. 1, Forest Grove; and Frank Finlcum, Dayton, Ore gon. Decline in Wheat Prices Chicago, Jan. 21 (U.R) Wheat pric es declined about a cent a bushel today. Rye was at a new low for the season on July and September con tracts. Wheat ended the day with net losses of to Ts cent. Corn was off M to H, oats off H to rye off 1V4 to 1 and soy beans off 2-2. Corn started steady but declined in sympathy with wheat and under moderate pressure from hedging In terests. Liberal country offerings of corn to arrive, 135,000 bushels, also had a depressing effect. Demand was mostly on resting orders. Re ceipts on track were estimated at 51 cars. Sales by shippers at noon were 35,000 bushels. Selling was led by a leading ele vator Interest, resting orders to buy checked the decline. Selling caused a recession in the soy bean market of better than 2 cents a bushel. The market recovered a small part of the loss. Bill Would Cancel Oregon Deportations Washington, Jan. 21 (P) The senate committee on immigration has before It a bill (S314) by Sena tor Clark D Ida.), which would authorize the attorney general oi the United States to cancel depor tation proceedings against 64 Bas ques now residing in Idaho, Oregon, Nevada and California.

Air Search On For Lost Portland, Jan. 21 (U.R Eight army bombing planes took off from the Portland Columbia a missing army bomber with seven men aboard which disap peared last Thursday on a flight from McChord field, Ta coma, to Sacramento, Calif. Captain J. J. O'Hara of the 17th Lowdermilk to Give Lecture W. C. Lowdermilk, who has trav eled over much of the world, ob serving how agriculture and entire civilizations have been wiped out by soil erosion, will give an illus. trated lecture at the Neighbors of Woodcraft building in Portland Friday, February 7, at 8 p. m. R. A, Ward, manager of Pacific Wool Growers, is sponsoring the appear ance of Dr. Lowdermilk; and farm ers, business men, teachers, stu dents and all others Interested are invited to attend the lecture. "We feel most fortunate in hav ing such an Internationally recog nized authority bring his important message to the northwest, e plains Mr. Ward. "Last summer when Dr. Lowdermilk made a lec ture tour through the northwest his appearances met with such favor that he was induced to come back for another series. His colored slides and movies are especially outstanding, showing how reckless land use and erosion have changed rich farming areas Into desert wastes, with the forewarning les son that Pacific northwest land should be protected by sound con servation practices before further damage occurs here." In his capacity as assistant chief of the soil conservation service, Dr. Lowdermilk recently was given a special commission to study land use and erosion conditions in other countries for the U. S. department of agriculture. His studies took him into Libya, Egypt, Palestine, Al geria, Tunisia, Trans-Jordan, Leb anon, Syria, Iraq, and several Eur opean countries. Formerly he made five agricultural explorations in China. Dr. Lowdermilk points out that the present emphasis on national defense also should take Into ac count the need for safeguarding this country's farms and ranges against wastage and ruin. "It Is well to remember, In this connection, that white we go through the formality of buying defense guns and battle ships and planes with money, these armaments must in reality be paid for out of the production of our soil in the form of food and fiber. We can maintain a strong nation only by maintaining our soil resources on a sound basis." Thomas C. Gosser, Truckman, Dies Thomas C. Oosser, pioneer Salem truckman, died at the Deaconess hospital early today. He had been a resident of Salem for the past 38 years and a member of Chemeketa lodge. No. 1, I.O.O.P., for 30 years.
