after an exciting first hour In
which more than half a million

urge to translate lucrative paper

the advance bowed to the profit-

few cents to around as a share and
down $1 to $4 from the early peaks.
Bethlehem Steel finished at $53,75,

preceding session when build

The speculative fever died down as
the market encountered opposition
to the upside. Transactions for the
day approximated 3.500,000 shares,

WALL' STREET
NEW YORK, June 80 (AP)
William Martin. 81-year-old chair
man of the New York stock ex
change, was chosen today as 1U
first salaried president, the position
which has been referred in broker
age circles as "Wall Street czar,"
Martin will resign the office of
chairman, which he has held since
May 16, transfer his membership In
the stock exchange and dispose of
his Interest In the St. Louis firm
of A. a. Edwards as Sons, to com
ply with the requirement In the
exchange's new constitution that Its
president shall have no other Inter
est save that office.
Martin's salary will be $48,000 a
year. Previous presidents have been
members of the exchange and served
without salary.
Martin. . as chairman, has been
acting president since the retire
ment of Charles P. day May 18.
The selection of the salaried presi
dent was seen In Wall Street as
closing a long and colorful chapter
In the exchange's controversy with
the securities and exchange com
mission. Inability of the exchange's "old
guard" to agree upon suggestions
from the SEC Inst autumn for a
complete overhaul of Its executive
machinery prompted a blistering
statement from SEC Chairman Wil
liam O. Douglas on November 33, In
which he warned the exchange to
clean house, or lose Its privileges of
self-rcgulntlon and have Its rules
mado In Washington.

FOREST EXECUTIVE
DELAYED BY BEAR
H. C. Obye was late for dinner
and an appointment In Union Creek
last night and It was all the fault
of a little black bear.
Mr. Obye telephoned from Union
Creek to Rogue River national forest
headquarters here this morning to
explain how he got behind his ached
tie. It wss all In the Interest of
v.-lld life conservation; so everything
was all right.
Mr. Obye, assistant supervisor, was
returning last evening to Union
Creek from Huckleberry mountain.
Half way down he was confronted
with the cub bear peacefully napping
In the middle of the road. Mr. Obye
stopped his oar and bonked his horn
but the cub merely blinked Its eyes
and stsyed put.
Not until Mr. Obye pulled up close
to the bear did It move. Then It
menadered slowly down the middle
of the road, compelling Mr. Obye to
mrawl at four miles an hour lor
miles.
It is against the forest service pol
icy to handle or frighten wild life.

the tread does not have to have its safety re
newed every few thousand miles. Stops your
enr faster, and In u straight tine, even on wet
roads. No tallspin Different from any tire you
have ever seen, and correctly named as "Amer
ica's Safest Tire " Gives you plus-protection
that Is visible to the naked eye and Instantly
real I red the minute you start driving. It costs
mora to make than ordinary tires, and is
claused as a DeLuxe Tire . . . but It actually
sella for very little more than first line tires of
conventional tread construction.
This Is one of the bear ... if not actually THE
best . . conventional tread tires built today.
It differs from Safti-Flight only in its tread,
which coats less to manufacture ... so that
Air-Flight costs you less money.
Sturdy, well-made, dependable . . . made to
sell at a moderate price. Size for else. It con
tains more cord than similar grade tires mads
by other manufacturers. It is a little less
expensive to build than Air-Flight, and costs
you leas for this reason.
