Stocks Advance
Irregularly ,
New York, Dec. 8 W) Con
flicting price currents swirled
through the stock market today
in one of the busiest sessions of
the year.
Price changes were mostly in
small fractions with gains and
losses thoroughly mixed.
The market made a play for
a higher price level early in the
day but buying interest lacked
any real push.
Turnover hit a rate of around
1,800,000 shares for the full day.
Leaning ahead off and on
were U. S. Steel, Bethlehem
Steel, Goodyear, Firestone,
Montgomery Ward, Boeing, Am
erican Smelting, DuPont, Dow
Chemical, American Woolen,
Santa Fe, and U. S. Gypsum.
A bit sticky were General Mo
tors, U. S. Rubber, Woolworth,
Union Carbide, International
Paper, Texas Co., and United
Air Lines.
Bidault Gels
Setback Vole
Paris, Dec. 8 (P) Premier
George Bidault's French cabi
net was set back by two adverse
votes today in the lower house
of parliament.
The votes were on a commun
ist proposal for increasing pen
sions for elder war veterans.
Bidault's finance minister,
Maurice Petsche, opposed the
proposal, asserting it would add
10,800,000,000 francs ($30,000,
000) to the budget.
Despite this, the national as
sembly voted 548 to 0 to discuss
the proposal under urgent pro
cedure, and then 409 to 164 to
discuss It immediately without
sending it to the finance com
mittee. .
Petsche walked angrily out of
the chamber, but came back a
few moments later.

Grains Decline
Moderately
Chicago, Dec. 8 VP) Moderate
selling pressure sent grains
down a bit without causing any
serious losses on the board of
trade today. Wheat was about
the weakest cereal throughout
the session.
Small scale hedging pressure
served as a depressing influence
in wheat. More cash wheat has
come to market recently, par
ticularly at Gulf of Mexico ports.
Wheat closed Vi-ilh lower,

Dairy Co-op
Fiohfs Safeway
The Dairy Co-operative asso
ciation will oppose application
of Safeway Stores, Inc., to intro
duce Safeway's own brand of
milK into its Salem stores, Will
Henry, co-op manager, said
Wednesday.
Henry said the co-op will
appear at the hearing called here
Thursday by the state milk mar
keting administration on Safe
way's request for permission to
take milk produced for the
Salem market, process it in the
Safeway Lucerne plant in Port
land, then haul it back to Salem
for sale in Safeway stores.
"The Salem market is being
taken care of with an adequate
supply of high quality milk,"
Henry declared. "Salem now
has two of the most modern
milk plants in the country, and
is perhaps better situated in that
respect than any Northwest
city."

2 Say Bridges
Communist
San Francisco, Dec. 8 VPl
Two more witnesses have testi
fied Harry Bridges was active
in the Communist party.
I
Bridges, CIO longshore lead
er, on trial in federal court for
perjury, is accused of falsely de
nying he was a Communist at
naturalization proceedings in
1945.
Two of his waterfront aides,
Henry Schmidt and J. R. Rob
ertson, are accused of conspir
acy in connection with his ob
taining United States citizen
ship.
The witnesses are Mrs. Irene
Patti Harris, 63-year-old wife
of a longshoreman, and Stanley
Benjamin .Harris, 41, of Erie,
Pa.
They corroborated testimony
of a previous government wit
ness, John H. Schomaker, a for
mer associate of Bridges.
Mrs. Harris said she was
flabbergasted" to hear Bridges
say he was a Communist at a
meeting she attended in 1938.
She said:
"Mr. Bridges, well he made a
report on the waterfront, talked
about what the communists had
done. Then he made a plea to
those there to become members
and also he stated he was a
member of the communist party."

took the stand as the fourth
prosecution witness in the San
Francisco perjury trial of
Longshore Leader Harry

government testimony that
Bridges was a member of the

coffee sales had dropped below
normal as consumers apparently
started using up excess supplies
they bought during the "'scare
runs" a few weeks ago.
Eggs were down two to eight
cents a dozen in thousands of
competitive stores across the
country for the second week in
a row. At least one chain in the
New York area said its egg pric
es were now the lowest in nearly
three years.
And the agriculture depart
ment predicted that egg quota
tions "will continue to drift low
er through the flush season of
egg production in the first half
of next year."
The department's bureau of
agricultural economics said
record October egg production
(3749 million eggs) contributed
to the price decline during the
past two months.
