Stocks Advance
Irregularly
After Set-Back
New York, Nov. 21 (IP) The stock
market found the going somewhat
rough at times today but persistent
bidding for rails and selected In
dustrials eventually steamed up re
coveries In other parts of the list.
Even steels, which had lingered In
the background from the start,
tacked on modest plus signs in the
final hour. While many leaders fail
ed to get aboard, advances of frac
tions to a point or so were well
spread over the ticker tape at the
close. Transfers were around 800,
000 shares.
Prominently supported members
of the share division included South
ern Railway preferred, which hit a
new 1941 high; Atlantic Coast Line,
Union Pacific, Chrysler, U. S. Rub
ber preferred, International Har
vester, Eastman Kodak, General
Electric and Kennecott.
Lacking climbing vigor were Lig
gett Myers "B," which slipped to a
new low for the year; American
Can, Dow Chemical, U.S. Gypsum,
Woolworth and General Motors.
Carrier loans were selective up
ward movers In the bond depart
ment. Commodities were a shade
Dow Jones closing stock averages:

up 0.50; utility, 15.82, up 0.01, and 65
Stocks, 39.70 up 0.25.
Btock sales approximated 850,000
shares against boo.ooo Wednesday.
Curb stock sales were 202,000 shares
compared with 197,000 in the pre
hollday session.
Grain Futures
Hold Steady
Chicago, Nov. 21 (U.PJ Grain fu
tures held about steady In dull post
holiday dealings today.
Soy beans eased in early trading,
but rallied in the final minutes to
recover about half of the extreme
losses. Closing wheat prices were
cent lower to V cent higher;
corn was unchanged to up W; oats
off to up rye unchanged; and
soy beans off
Weakness in soy beans was at
tributed to a forecast for cold
weather which will aid harvesting.
Today's receipts were estimated at
273 cars.
Liquidation of December wheat
contracts Imparted an easier tone
to that option, but other deliveries
held about steady.
Corn prices continued firm, help
ed by the higher loan rate, which
served to reverse the downward
trend that followed the govern
ment estimate of a bumper crop
this year.
Skies over the grain belt were
mostly clear today. A cold wave,
accompanied by light scattered
snow was forecast for the week-end.

'Grass Roofs'
Foreign Policy
Worcester, Mass., Nov. 21
The national grange today adopted
what lt called a "grass-roots" for
eign policy urging the administra
tion to conduct Its foreign relations
that this nation and democracy
shall continue to exist In the world."
The points of that policy, as ap
proved by delegates from 37 states
attending the closing session of the
farm organization's annual con
vention, Included:
Take "all necessary means" to
supply goods and munitions to na
tions opposing aggression.
Maintain defense zones "far
euough beyond the territorial lim
its" of the western hemisphere to
give reasonable security agalsnt
aerial anad sea attack."
Maintain the status quo In the
Pacific because of its "necessity for
the country's economic security."
Maintain the Monroe Doctrine
and the "good neighbor policy." The
latter, however, should "not be
maintained at the expense of
American agriculture.'1
The grange Insisted that during
the present International crisis the
administration advise congress and
the people on the general alms of Its
foreign policy and that the princi
ples of free speech, free press and
free assembly be maintained except
that military secrets be not reveal
ed. The grange also asked that all
boards charged with responsibility
of mobilizing defense efforts provide
for "actual and effective" represen
tation for agriculture. It asked fur
ther that agriculture be given rep
resentation at the peace table.

Mistaken Identity
In Forged Check Case

might have knowledge of the checks
and the Investigation was made
through a district attorney's office
down there at the request of the
local prosecutor.
It then developed that the Swen
son woman, who according to Cali
fornia advices has admitted all of
the check passing to Superinten
dent McCormick at the Tehachapl
woman's prison, Is of the same
height, same weight, has appearance
of being the same age as Mrs. Young,
although there Is an actual age
discrepancy of six years. But to top
this off, two handwriting experts
compared handwritings of the wo
men which were declared identical.
The California Investigator stated
in his report that he compared the
handwriting on the Hotel Marlon
checks with a letter Mrs. Swenson
wrote to the superintendent of the
Good Chance
Of Armistice
On Finn Front
Helsinki, Nov. 21 (U.B Well In
formed quarters said today that as
result of negotiations between Pin
land and the United States there
was a "good chance" of an armis
tice between Finland and Russia.
It was said, however, that before
there could be even a "tacit armis
tice" Finland would like certain as
surances from Britain and the
United States regarding her future
frontiers.
Russian reaction to the Finnish
rely to an American note urging
Finland to cease hostilities did not
bar the way to sucess in present
Finnish-American negotiations, it
was said.
Britain has not yet declared war
on Finland despite Russian pr
sure. This, lt was said, indicates
that Britain Is willing, at least, to
await the outcome of Finnish-Amer
lean talks before acting.
Well Informed Finnish quarters
said there could be no question at
present of real peace with Russia,
but, lt was said, there was a possi
bility of a more or less "tacit" ces
sation of hostilities pending a gen
eral peace conference and a final
settlement of frontiers.
A well informed source said there
is reason to assume that negotia-
tlons of far-reaching significance
among "all concerned" now are be
ing conducted at Helsinki.
The view was expressed that Fin
land's "comrade in arms" (Ger
many) would have no objection to
a solution under which Finland and
Russia would have a "tacit armis
tice."
Holiday Upswing
In Stores Observed
New York, Nov. 21 VP The usual
holiday upswing In sales appeared
in retail stores this week, aided sub
stantially by p r e p a r a t i o ns Ior
Thanksgiving, fall clearances and
early Christmas shopping, Dun &
Bradstreet reported today.
"Shoppers- greatest emphasis on
wearing apparel and other soft
goods," the agency review said, "in
dicated a definite shift from the
durable type of merchandise which
was most in demand during the buy
ing spree of August and September.
"With defense production gains
offsetting curtailment in non-defense
lines, the over-all rate of out
put held solidly at record levels."
In 32 states which celebrated
Thanksgiving this week, the review
noted, most retailers took this occa
sion to inaugurate the holiday seas
on. Stocks in most centers were re
ported at record levels.
For the country as a whole the
agency estimated retail turnover at
IS to 22 per cent better than a year
ago, he broadest margin of Increase
in six weeks. In the major regions
the increases were as follows:
New England, 12 to 18 per cent
east, 12 to 15; middle west, 14 to 20
south, IS to 23; southwest, 20 to 25;
northwest, 11 to 14, and Pacific coast,
15 to 20.

prison in California and he states
In his reports "It does not take a
handwriting expert to see that they
are Identical."
Almost every feature about the
women seemed to be similar as to
physical characteristics exceptt their
fingertips, states District Attorney
Hayden. These, of course, proved
very dissimilar.
The report of the California in
vestigator says that Mrs. Swenson
who admits writing the checks ad
vised that after she wrote the checks
here she knew that she would be
picked up by Oregon officers if she
remained around here "so I beat it
to California as I'd rather serve
time there than In Oregon." She
passed some checks there and had
her wish granted, according to re
port.
The checks as passed here were
signed variously by the names of
"Eugenia Stevens," "Ella G. Swen
son," and on the hotel register she
signed as "Mrs. H. J. Stevens." The
fact that one of the checks here was
signed by Ellen G. Swenson, the
same name as she is listed under In
the California prison, gave a clue to
the possibility of there having been
a mixup in the identities.
So strange a physical similarity
existed, lt was stated, that one of
the witnesses Identified both Mrs.
Young and the Swenson woman as
the same.
The district attorney stated that
in addition to asking dismissal of
the indictment against Mrs. Marie
Young he also will ask that a "hold
order" be placed at the woman's
prison In California for Mrs. Swen
son. District Attorney Hayden said
that the Tehachapl Womens prison
is the fifth in which records show
Mrs. Swenson has served.
Vitamin C
Syphilis Cure
Chicago, Nov. 21 UP) Physicians
reported today new evidence that
ordinary vitamin C can help in the
medical treatment of syphilis.
The vitamin C, or ascorcic acid,
may solve the problem of bad re
actions in persons especially sensi
tive to the anti-syphilis drugs de
rived from arsenic.
This was reported in the Journal
of the American Medical associa
tion by Dr. Herman N. Bundesen,
president of the Chicago board of
health, and Drs. Hans C. S. Aron,
Regina S. Greenebaum, Chester J.
Farmer and Arthur F. Abt, all of
Chicago.
The number of people sensitive
to the arsenic drugs Is still consid
erable, the reactions ranging from
mild upsets to death.
The doctors found that the re
actions apparently were due to the
formation of poisonous matter when
the drugs were exposed to oxygen
in the blood.
Even when In contact with air,
solutions of the drugs turn a brown
ish black as oxidation products are
formed, but this oxidation was pre
vented for 48 hours when one part
arsenic acid was added to three
parts of the drug.
The doctors, after patch tests on
115 patients and other studies, con
cluded that the vitamin C promises
to assist in preventing reactions to
those anti-syphilis drugs in the
great majority ot patients.

Once before Juanlta SplnelH had
been close to death in June, the
night before the first of two re
prieves Governor Cuthbert L. Ol
son granted so that he might look
at greater length into the circum
stances of her case.
This time there was little spirit in
her, save once when she stirred to
speak a curse against those who
would put her to death.
"My blood will burn holes into
their bodies," she said. "Before six
months have passed they will be
punished."
The Duchess was convicted of di
recting the murder of Robert Sher
rard, young, spineless member of
her gang who they feared would
tell police of previous escapades.
Sherrard, only 19, was drugged
with knockout drops before being
thrown into the Sacramento river
In April, 1940.
