Slocks Decline
On Depressing
Russian News
New York, Aug. 26 (Pi De
pressing war reports from Mos
cow, stressing the dangerous
position of Stalingrad, again
dominated stock market trends
today and leaders fell fractions
to a point or more.
Up to midday certain o the
key issues showed fair resis
tance, but in the later proceed
ings the retreat became general
with some acceleration in vol
ume. In a few instances losses
ran to 2 or more points in the
final hour. Transactions were
approximately 375,000 shares.
Stocks showing sizable de
clines included U. S. Steel, Beth
lehem, General Motors, Chrysler,
American Telephone, Western
Union, Santa Fe and Southern
Railway. Down 2 or more were
Union Pacific and Electric Pow
er and Light 6 per cent and 7
per cent preferrcds.
Commodities bowed under
selling attributed to the propos
ed federal price controls.
Dow Jones preliminary clos
ing averages: Industrial, 105.55
off 0.96; rail, 26.35, off 0.42; util
ity, 11.44, off 0.16, and 65 stocks,
35.37, off 0.39.
Stock sales were 357,710
shares compared with 345,150
yesterday. Curb stock sales
were 65,965 against 59,415 in
the previous session.
Quiet Dealing in
Grain Futures
Chicago, Aug. 26 (U.R) News
that the administration would
check living costs by executive
action rather than by legislation
depressed grain futures in quiet
dealings today.
Wheat closed with net losses
of to ' cent a bushel; corn
was off to ; oats was off Vs
to Vf, rye off lVk to l'A, and
soybeans off Vt to V4.
Anti-inflation talk discouraged
speculative interest in the wheat
pit, as traders saw little hope for
farm-bloc opposition to price
controls over farm commodities
by executive action.
Professional traders gave
moderate support to wheat on
the fractional declines prompted
by selling from houses with east
ern connections. Outside inter
est was generally light through
most of the session.
Commission houses look Sep
tember corn in small lots. Local
operators and some cash inter
est were on the selling side. The
basis of the spot market remain
ed about steady.
Government crop reports from
both the spring wheat and corn
belts continued favorable.
Scattered liquidation pressed
rye futures down to new low
ground for the season.
Hedging was practically nil
in the oats pit, and the futures
held relatively steady. Soy
beans fluctuated in a narrow
price range in dull dealings.

Roosevelt to
Make 3 Major
Radio Speeches
(Continued from page 1)
Many of the United Nations
including Russia, The Nether
lands and England, Early said,
arc sending official delegates to
the students assembly.
China was unable to do so,
he said, but Madame Chiang Kai
Slick, wife of tho Chinese gen
cralissimo, will designate her
country's representatives.
Mr. Roosevelt revealed yoster
day at his press conference that
he was preparing a plan to keep
down living costs by stabilizing
both wages and farm prices. He
said both labor and agriculture
must make sacrifices, tough sac.
rificcs, and that restrictions
could not be placed on one with
out being imposed on the other
Labor Chiefs Called
He called the labor leaders,
Philip Murray, CIO chief, and
William Green, AFL president,
to the White House today to go
over the cost of living situation,
as he already has done with
farm and other groups.
W h,e t h e r new legislation
would be sought was proble
matical, as Mr. Roosevelt said
time is short and spiraling of
costs may get out of hand in 30
days. Administration leaders
began calling absent congress
men back to Washington, how
ever, to receive his message.
The cost of living will be only
a part of the speech he will
make, the president said, indi
cating he probably would touch
on the war in general.
Stabilize Farm Prices
Speaking more plainly about
wage and farm price stabiliza
tion than at any time since his
seven point price control mess
age to congress on April 27, the
president told his press confer
ence that wages could not be
stabilized 'without stabilizing
farm prices, and farm prices
could not be stabilized without
stabilizing wages.
Generally speaking, he said,
wages should be stabilized at
essentially present levels. But
he qualified this by saying com
mon sense should be applied. He
did not believe, for example,
that if food prices rose another
30 per cent, as Price Adminis
trator Leon Henderson had said
they might, the wage scale
should be kept where it is now
On the other hand, he added, if
food costs were held down to
where they are now he saw no
reason why labor should get an
advantage.
Pierce Balks on
Farm Price Limit
Washington, Aug. 26 MP)
Representative Pierce (D., Ore.)
told the house that while he
wanted to "go along" with Sec
retary Wickard of the agricul
ture department handling the
nation's farm problem he could
not approve tho secretary's sug
gestion for repeal of the 110 per
cent parity law.
Tho representative said farm
prices now were 50 per cent
lower than in the First World
war and farm labor 50 per cent
higher. He said equality of
prices of farm products and
cost must be maintained. Pierce,
himself n farmer, said that dur
ing the First World war he paid
$4.50 a day for farm labor while
today it costs him $7 a day. He
said farmers could not pay the
high wages paid in shipyard and
airplane factories which arc
causing migration of farm work
ers to war industries.

New Variety of
Elberta Peaches
M. P. Adams, who operates a
peach orchard on the Wallace
road about a mile and a half
from Salem, has a new variety
of Elberta peach in commercial
bearing for the first time this
year. The variety has been
named the "Redelberta" and
was originated by the Columbia
Okanogan nursery at Washing
ton and is patented under the
nursery patent laws.
Adams sot out 50 of the trees
about four years ago and had his
first few peaches last year and
was convinced that they lived
up to the reputation given them
by the originators. This year
he expects about 50 boxes from
the trees and from further samp
ling is more than ever convinc
ed, he states.
The peaches are said to have
the highest sugar content, are of
medium size and are good to
either eat ripe, cook or can. The
touch of bitter noticeable in the
original Elberta peach has been
eliminated by the higher sugar
content, he states, and sampling
of the ripened peach bears out
the claims made for it.
