MA R K E T M irsT TIAkIP Stocks Advance Over a Point New York, Sept. 1 W The stock market moved ahead today for the liveliest advance in a v eouple of weeks. Closing prices were up frac tions to around a point, and in some cases considerably more. Numerous shares sold at the year's top prices although there was a tendency to slip back from the high marks of the day In late dealings. The Increase in buying yank ed the market out a narrow rut In which it has been stuck for the past ten days or so. Turn over was at a rate approaching 1,000,000 shares for the full ses sion. Wall Street sources were un able to put a finger on any par ticular news development that might explain the abrupt expan sion in demand.

The nearby delivery went to a new high for the current move and within 3V cents of the De cember price as compared with 5V4 cents yesterday. The defer red months followed with gains of more than one cent a bushel.

Oats held within narrow price limits on light trading but rye aver aged higher on commission house buying. The commodity credit corpor ation reported purchasing 65, 000 bushels of wheat here yes- terday, bringing the season a to tal to 10,767,415 bushels. No purchases were reported at Kan sas City or Portland. Wheat closed up 2 to off 1 cents a bushel; corn off V to 1; oats unchanged to up ; rye up V4 to 1; soybeans off 114 to 2 '4 and lard up 2 to 10 cents per hundredweight. Farm Program Passage Urged Washington, Sept. 1 (ff) Sen ators of both parties plugged to day for passage of a compromise farm program, apparently with President Truman s backing. The measure, written by Sen ator Anderson (D-N.M. ) , was sent to the senate for action yes terday soon after democratic farm leaders returned from a visit to the White House. ! Mr. Truman was asked at a news conference today just what he told the farm conferees yes terday that got such fast action from the senate agriculture committee. He said it wasn't anything he told them that when they sat, down together to talk things over they found that they werej not as far apart as they thought they were. It probably will be two weeks or longer before the senate can act on the bill because of other pending business. Then the measure must go back to the house, which has passed a far different bill. It voted an extension through next year of the high-level wartime price props now in effect. ; Actually the price support levels for basic crops the first year of the Anderson bill would be near those voted by the house but would apply to far fewer commodities. Summer picnic lunches need to be planned with an eye to nu trition as well as to good eat ing. Include sandwiches or sal ads of meat, eggs, poultry, fish, or cheese.

Minimum Wage Rate Increased Washington, Sept. 1 UP) An increase in the minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents an hour was virtually assured today. The senate voted for It yes terday; the house did so ear lier, all that remains now is for the two branches to compro mise other points in the bills each passed to revise the 1938 wage-hour law. The principal issue to be set tled concerns employes covered by the law. The house bill would remove about 1,000,000 work ers from coverage. The senate provided exemptions for an es timated 250,000 or so, mainly in retail stores. With the senate taking ween s rest ana tne house on vacation until Sept. 21, efforts to iron out the differences will be delayed. But when the senate late yes terday passed by voice vote i bill lifting the wage floor to 75 cents, the administration chalk ed up a major victory for a part of President Truman's program. - The measure wasn't just what democratic leaders wanted They would have preferred bill broadening the coverage of the wage-hour law. But they gave up hopes of that In a drive to win the 75-cent minimum. Some 22,600,000 workers are covered by the law, but Senator Pepper (D-Fla.), floor manager of the bill, said that only about 1,500,000 of them now are be ing paid less than 75 cents an hour.

Sand Rldse. OBITUARY Europe Far From Recovery Paris, Sept. 1 Europe's two top Marshall plan officials declared today that more than $5,000,000,000 in American aid has failed so far to put the war- damaged continent on the road to self support. They reported that Europe's economic situation has improv ed in the last two years, but that the dollar-shortage problem had not been solved. The report, to be sent to U.S. Marshall plan authorities, was made by Baron Jean Charles Snoy of Belgium, chairman of the 19-nntion organization for European economic corporation, and Robert Marjolin of France, OEEC secretary-general. "If it was at one time our be lief that European recovery was proceeding fast enough to make it possible to achieve liability (self support) in 1952, .we must now admit that the rate of prog ress is not sufficient," Baron Snoy and Marjolin said. "The dollar problem, despite the improvement in the situa tion over the last two years, is not on the way to solution." Similar statements have been made recenlty by delegates to the assembly of the new council of Xurope at Strasbourg. They advocated more measures for economic cooperation between European countries and lower ing of trade barriers.
