Ten
Stock Trading
Falls Off But
Prices Firm
New York, July 20 OI.P Trad
Ing fell off sharply on the stock
market today as traders awaited
new developments on the admin
istration's inflation policy.
Prices were firm late in the
day after early irregularity.
They dipped below the nest,
however, when the house of rep
resentatives rejected the ways
and means committee proposal
to set a 40 per cent normal and
surtax rate, against the 45 per
cent rate In the committee's bill.
The house' also voted to Increase
the excess profits tax from 87 lis
per cent to 90 per cent.
Averages of leading groups
had small net gains because most
top issues were higher. A few
special stocks eased as much as
a point or so. A few showed ad
vances ranging to more than 4
points.
Steel Issues opened lower, ral
lied and turned irregular. Beth
lehem had a small net loss and
U. S. Steel issues wore higher.
Motors were firm In late deal
ings. Rails firmed and enough
utilities rose to send the average
up slightly. Coppers displayed a
better tone late In the day.
A better tone was noted In
mercantile shares. Mail order
shares were firm.
Goodyear preferred equaled
its high at 82 up 1. Montcsanto
rose more than a point, while
Dow Chemical lost more than a
point.
Wider movers included May
tag company first preferred at
79 Vi up 4; Public Service 7 per
cent preferred 91 up 4'A; and
General Steel Castings preferred
63 up l'A.
Fourth Storage
Shed Erected
St. Paul, July 20 A fourth
storage shed with 700-ton capa
city, a water reservoir for fire
protection and women's quarters
preparatory to hiring of women
for the first time to replace men
leaving for military service or
war Industries, are being con
structed at the St. Paul Flax
Growers' plant here.
Manager Pete Luthl made
known the expansion work Sat
urday. The co-operative, which
was organized early last year
and put up a $50,000 plant in
time to handle a 2,400-lon crop,
will harvest 1,000 acres in flax
this year, Luthl stated,
Recent rains have caused con
siderable damage, as this year's
heavy growth has "lodged" bad
ly, he pointed out. Pulling is
expected to start about July 27.
A crew of 45 men Is continu
ing processing of last year's big
yield, and about 300 tons re
main to be deseeded. A new
tow machine invented by W. M,
Hurst, Corvallis, of the United
States department of agricul
ture, is being tried out, and a
new deseeder is being built at
Sllverton for t he plant here,
Luthl said. Present output of
tow is going to the Salem mills.

Kiska Harbor
Dreary Tomb of
Japanese Hopes
(Continued from page 1)
misses on a large destroyer with
500-pounders and another did
the same with a light cruiser.
Anti-aircraft, which is not par
ticularly damaging to most fast
combat planes, is brutally pun
ishing to ships' as large and slow
as the Catalinas,
The Japs showed signs of dis
couragement and their ships be
gan to get under way, A Cat
delivered its load on the moving
ships and flew on out to Attu,
the last island of the interconti
nental stepping stones.
Construction Work
By night the bombers noted
evidence the Japs planned a per
manent occupation. Attu show
ed signs of construction work
and shore-based Nakajima 97
fighters rose from Kiska, to
meet the American craft. The
harbor was empty of ships that
night, but next day they came
back, appearing in increasing
numbers throughout the daylight
hours.
By night Kiska's harbor held
five heavy cruisers, two light
cruisers, ten destroyers, two
submarines, nine cargo and
transport vessels, and a dozen
Kawanishi flying boats, seaplane
and land-based observation and
fighter aircraft haunted the
murky sky. Other ships- were
sighted arriving from the south.
More Warships Hit
The fog closed in tight and
stayed most of the day and
bombers had to drop their loads
through mist. When the mist
rolled back two Catajinas drop
ped down to a thousand feet and
dumped a pair of heavy bombs
each on a destroyer and light
cruiser. All were punishing
near misses.
Another Liberator was lost
during the day, but the remaind
er made direct hits on two cruis
ers and a destroyer and left
them burning.
A torpedo carrying Catalina
varied its routine by attacking
a heavy cruiser standing up to
Kiska from the south. The tor
pedo went into the water and
the peppered plane zoomed out
as the cruiser turned to avoid
attack. The ship didn't make it
for suddenly a wall of water
skyrocketed along her side and
she lurched suddenly in her
course. It was a clean hit.
Whether she sank is a matter
for historians to record. The
plane didn't wait to see.
Carrier Zeros Seen
The first bombing flights yes
terday found something new in
the way of trouble. Nobody had
seen the Jap carriers for several
days but now carrier Zeros were
working over the island. It
seemed to indicate the carriers'
close proximity but no contact
was made during the day.
While American bombers kept
up their round trip destruction
the Japs made a few tentative
stabs eastward. Observation
planes scouted along the islands
as far as Umnak, just east of
Dutch Harbor.
Several attacks on Kiska
were driven off by Zeros but
others ' got through. Army
bombers reported two direct hits
on a heavy cruiser.
The fight goes on through the
gloom of night and the practic
ally identical gloom of day. No
battle ever fought witnessed con
ditions so viciously unfriendly to
both sides.
Workers' families are being
moved from slums into new flats
in Vilnius, Lithuania.
Rings made from metal of
crashed German bombers are
being worn In England.

Jap Bombs That Missed Their Mark When Jap bombers attacked Dutch Harbor, U. S.
naval base In Alaska, they were met with anti-aircraft fire that kept many of their bombs
falling wide of the mark. These geysers represent bombs falling wide of the mark, and
harmlessly in the harbor. The ship in the background behind the geyser at the left staved
off attack with continued machine gun fire. U. S. Navy Photo.

impeded by sandstorms, they
maintained all their positions
on the dominant ridge of the
northern and central areas and
in the southern dust bowl.
In one of the heaviest raids of
the campaign, fighter-bombers
and light bombers, escorted by
fighters, fought their way
through the swirling dust clouds
yesterday to raid an enemy oc
cupied airdrome west of the
battle line, to destroy or dam
age many grounded planes and
shoot down five enemy planes
which were about to land.
Axis Tanks Hit
Other planes scored direct
hits on six enemy tanks in a raid
in the southern area and started
fires.
Heavy bombers, which may
have included American army
air corps planes, made a day
light attack on the axis base at
Tobruk, a communique of the
middle eastern command and

Regulation
Cuts Food Prices
Washington, July 20 (Pi The
cost of many foods not under
price control rose sharply be
tween mid-May and mid-June
while those under regulation de
clined slightly, the bureau of
labor statistics reported today.
Prices of foods not under the
general price ceiling advanced
an average of 4.8 per cent and
controlled food prices declined
an average of 1.3 per cent.
The bureau estimated that, de
spite the administration's efforts
to check the rising cost of living,
food bills for city families of
moderate income rose 1.3 per
cent between May 12 and June
16. This was about the same
rate of increase which prevailed
during the 14 months prior to
the start of price regulation May
18.
Twenty of the 65 foods priced
in retail stores went up, 28 were
lower and 17 were unchanged.
Price regulation docs not affect
24 of the foods priced, represent
ing more than 40 per cent of the
average food budget of wage
earners and lower-salary work
ers. The price rises were led by
fresh fruits and vegetables, lamb
and poultry, none of which is
subject to price control. Apples
advanced 25 per cent, cabbage
15 per cent, lamb 10 per cent
and roasting chickens 5 per cent.
A drop in prices was reported
for fats and oils, beverages, pork
and dairy products, all but the
latter being under price regula
tions. The index of food costs June
16 was 123.2 per cent of the
1935-39 average, 4 per cent
above the March 17 level and 16
per cent higher than a year ago.
Recession in
Grain Prices
Chicago, July 20 (U.R) Wheat
futures staged a late rally to
close irregularly higher today,
after reports of an impending
conference between the presi
dent and congressional leaders
on anti-inflation legislation
caused a recession in the grain.
Other futures closed firm.
Wheat closed around the day's
highs Ve to cent a bushel
higher, corn also closed on the
tops to higher, oats to
lVs higher, rye up Vz to , and
soybeans up Va to
Continual a n t i - inflationary
talk lowered prospects on pass
age of 100 per cent of parity
loan provision now before the
house. Hedge sales from time
to time eased wheat futures
which met some support on
slight declines.
Local demand and scattered
buying from cash interests gave
a steady to firm tone to corn
futures. Many traders believed
that recent farm weather had
done much to improve this
year's crop.
Light trading caused sluggish
price movements in the rye and
oat pits. Local traders and
commission houses acted on
both sides of the markets. Soy
bean trade was full and slightly
easier.

Patricia Ann Likes
To Ride Armored Cars
Seattle, July 20 W) Patricia

H. Griffin, bought $2,000 worth
- 4 tank. Lower silhouette and no
holds a 75 mm. tun.
of war bonds for her. Now she
