Dealing Quiet
: New York. July 21 u.R)
Stocks worked lower in quiet
dealings through most of today's
session but rallied in the final
hour to close irregular.
1 Trading was at the dullest
pace this week, with total
volume well below a million
shares.
. The cheering war news from
the war fronts failed to aid the
market here although it brought
further strength into securities
in London.
; The late Improvement in
stocks was led by the steel,
rail and aircraft shares all list
ed in the so-called "war group."
Some Wall Street quarters be
lieve that these issues have
run behind the market because
of "early peace" ideas.
. U. S. Steel rallied to 57,
up V, from an early low of
S7'&. Bethlehem also pushed
up to above its previous close
after an early loss. United Air
craft and Douglas both worked
forward to small gains. .

Chicago, July 21 (U.R) Grain
futures closed firm after an un
even course on the board of
trade today.
Wheat finished the day up
Yt to l'n cents a bushel; oats
up to M, and rye unchanged
to up lVt.
Wheat developed a firm un
dertone in early trade, advano
Ing Va cent a bushel above the
previous level on buying cred
ited to mills and commercial
interests. Hedging pressure
caused prices to recede, with
weakness most marked in the
July position.

must be closed on Friday, with
cash grain delivered on open
contracts.
Country offerings of wheat
have lessened In tile southwest
and strong feeder demand for
wheat was shown by the com

ly curtailment of offerings.
More than 40,000 bushels of
oats have been bought for de
ferred shipment to Chicago, and
reports of good progress in this
crop came from the harvesting
areas. Strength in oats weak
ened in late trade.

Mcdford, Ore., July 21 (IMS
Funeral arrangements were be
ing completed today for Harry
James Ticknor, 71. civilian
worker at Camp White, who
was killed Monday when a grav

Ticknor was a checker and
spotter, and was watching an

truck backed up and siruck him.
In New Zealand, schools of
cutlass fish swim ashore on cold
nights as though temporarily
crazed. ,
Ore., Wednesday, July 21, 1943
ported partial text of the letter.
Nothing concerning such a let
ter was available immediately
from any other source.
The broadcast quoted the
Pope as recalling his efforts, as
bishop of Rome, to ensure the
safety of the city and then say
ing: "But alas our hope was vain.
And now what we feared has
happened. That which we fore
saw now is sad reality, for one
of the noted Roman basilicas,
that of San Lorenzo outside the
walls, venerated by all Catholics
for its antique memories, is now
in great part destroyed. Upon
seeing the ruins of this noted
temple the words of the prophet
Jeremiah come to memory."
Previously the Vatican radio
had reported that -the Basilica
of San Lorenzo had been badly
damaged in the raid that that
the Pope visited it late Monday
afternoon.
Return of UMW
Hangs on Deal
Washington, July 21 IIP) Re
turn of the United Mine Work
ers (UMW) to the American
Federation of Labor (AFL)
hinged today, it was reported,
on a deal whereby UMW presi
dent John L. Lewis would be
given a rather free hand in the
coal belt provided he gives up
organizing workers in other
fields.
Labor spokesmen,' emerging
from the UMW-AFL conference
on the proposed merger yester
day, disclosed this plan was in
the wind:
1 Lewis and his UMW would
be given jurisdiction as virtually
the sole craft union for coal dig
gers. This would, in effect,
freeze the charter and in time
abolish the Progressive Miners,
the AFL's mine union which is
strong in Illinois, Indiana and
parts of Kentucky.
2 In exchange, Lewis would
drop his so-called "district 50"
unit which was set up to organ
ize all kinds of workers, includ
ing farmers.
Italy's Plight
Cause of Parley
By Reynolds Packard
Allied Headquarters, North
Africa, July 21 (U.R) The re
ported meeting of Adolf Hitler
and Benito Mussolini in north
ern Italy on Monday appears to
be connected closely with the
possibility of an Italian col
lapse.' The crumbling axis defenses
in Sicily undoubtedly prompted
the meeting, which certainly
could not. have been a pleasant
one with all the recriminations
the two axis partners must have
exchanged.
One thing seems certain to
follow the meeting of the axis
partners a firmer custody of
all Italy by nazi military and
secret police organizations. The
Germans are bound to pour into
Italy in great numbers.
Sicilians, in territory coining
into allied hands, already have
voiced one of the Italian com
plaint that Italy does not have
the weapons or equipment to
make a stronger defensive
stand.
Mussolini almost certainly
pointed out that the Italians
alone are unable to bar the way
of the allies to Germany. There
is little doubt, too, that Hitler
stamped and stormed about the
defense of Sicily. He could
easily point out that axis troops
in Sicily were taken by sur
prise and that Italians were
surrendering in wholesale lots
in areas where the Germans arc
not able to do police work.
If the meeting occurred Mon-
day, as axis radios reported,
then Hitler and Mussolini must
have had quite an extempora
neous conversation about the
allied bombing of Rome, which
brought out the striking weak
ness of Italy's air defenses.
News of the raid must have
caused a sensation in their con
ference chamber aboard the tra
ditional train parked on a siding
and guarded by scores of sol
diers and secret police. It was
hardly likely to promote good
fellowship between the chiefs.

announcement that $10,000 bills
are getting scarce.
Nearly 4,000 of the longest of
this country's long green have
found their way back into the
treasury in the past two and
one half years. There are fewer
than 2,200 at large.
The rise and decline in popu
larity of the big notes follows a
pattern that can be traced to
darkening war clouds and the
imposition of stringent govern
ment monetary controls.
When there is a demand for
the big bills, officials attribute
some of it to desire on the part
of some foreign nationals to
convert their assets into the
most compact form of cash.
Twine Substituted
For Baling Wire
Pleasantdale, July 21 Bal
ing 25 tons of hay in 10 hours
each day is the average amount
being run with the McFarlane
brothers' new pick-up baler. In
stead of regulation baling wire,
a heavy treated twine is used
and the bales average approx
imately 75 pounds each. Only
two men are required, one to
run the tractor and the other to
attend to the perfect running of
the baler. Hay is selling in the
field, baled, for $25 a ton.
Bombing

equipment except life rafts for
possible forced landings, but all
agreed the thing to do if they
were downed was to try to
reach Russian territory.
Forty Minutes Over Target
The raiders were in the air
more than nine hours, as they
followed the weather map,
skirting bad areas to the north
ern tip of the Japanese islands.
They spent at least 40 min
utes over the target, climbing
and circling in preparation for
dropping their bomb loads. The
weather cleared for bombing
through the clouds but the same
clouds prevented any deck level
bombing as had been planned.
The raiders said they scored
misses on vessels in the harbor
and saw an airplane landing
strip about a mile long. The
bombs set large fires among
buildings.
The raid was led by Capt.
James L. Hudelson, Benton,
111., who already holds the dis
tinguished flying cross and air
medals for feats in Aleutian
combat flying. His co-pitot was
Lieut. P. Sabich, 1217 P street,
Sacramento, Calif.
Weather Stimulates .
Demand for Workers
Albany, Ore., July 21 Ad
vent of warm weather has stim
ulated demand for workers in
Linn county berry fields but has
on the other hand apparently at
the same time depleted ranks of
pickers, Gilbert Sprague, Linn
county farm labor assistant, said
Tuesday as he sought to round
up reinforcements for the army
of county young people now
battling to save crops.
The berry harvest has been
brought to its peak, Mr. Sprague
said, and hundreds of berry
pickers are needed to 'save this
type of crop, as was done with
cherries. The berry situation is a
real problem, Sprague said.
Commenting upon the local
survey .conducted under direc
tion of Mrs. Cleo Jenkins, Mr.
Sprague said that 184 women
and young people had been reg
istered for harvest work. Most
of these people have been inter
viewed and placed, he said, and
are already working.
The demand for bean pickers
is expected next-week.
Cyclist Injured
Portland, July 21 (IP) John
Nestlen, 14, Portland, suffered

Pack Lighter,
Eames States
New York, July 21 (IP) A. W.
Eames, president of the Cali
fornia Packing Corp., has ad
vised stockholders that the 1943
food pack will be considerably
lighter than last year's record
tonnage.
Eames said that weather con
ditions and labor shortages were
major factors. The only optim
istic note of his report to the an
nual meeting yesterday was that
it appeared the salmon 'pack
would be ahead of recent years
and a good share would be left
over for civilian use after the
government had requisitioned
a substantial portion of the out
put. Because of the labor short
age, the company was unable
to process all of the early vege
tables offered and the general
vegetable pack will run below
last year's total, Eames said,
adding that all of the apricot
pack will go to the government
and that the pear pack was indeterminate.
Axis Gets Set
(Continued from page 1)
that the Italian government had
given them little equipment
with which to fight.
Allied airplanes battered the
enemy rear lines throughout
Sicily yesterday as the Ameri
cans, Canadians and Gourmiers
hacked their way over rough
mountain terrain to Enna.
Raddusa, midway between
Enna and Catania, was hard hit
by Mitchell bombers which
started big fires and caused ex
plosions. The allied planes en
countered no axis fighter op
position. Allied bombers also hammer
ed Ibo Valentia and other air
fields in southern Italy, while
heavy bombers struck at rear
bases as far north as the Naples
area.
1600 Workers Idle
At Two War Plants
Connersville, Ind., July 21
(U.R) About 1,600 workers were
idle at two Connersville war
plants today as a result of strikes
called to enforce wage demands.
Four units of the McQuay
Norris Manufacturing company
were closed after a wage dis
pute starting in the inspection
division expanded to become a
general walkout affecting 1,200
employes.
Neither the company nor lo
cal 315 of the United Automo
bile Workers' union (CIO)
would reveal the exact demands
of the workers. The company
manufactures shells, piston rings
and pistons.
At the Steel Kitchens corpora
tion plant, 400 employes walked
out after demanding wage in
creases. Officials of UAW lo
cal 300 said the walkout was
unauthorized.
