IK. P) The tock market followed an erratic course today with some favored bares pushed 1 to 3 points higher at their beet and others slipping with little support by about the same margin. At the finish the list was very mixed. Trading was active and trans fers approximated 4,000,000 shares. Ralls, utilities, rubbers, merchan dising shares and specialties enjoyed demand most of the day but were inclined to drop away from their tops In the final hour. Steels were subjected to penalizing from the opening on and, while they managed some Improvement, were not given sufficient support for a lift. At times motors and alrcrafts were bid up a little. The confused nature of the ses sion reflected, brokers said, the be wilderment of traders who, antici pating some sort of business punch as a result of the conflict abroad, were- chary about predicting Its ex tent or the Industries that might be benefited. Up most of the day were Mont gomery Ward, Sears-Roebuck, Inter national Harvester, Loft, New York Central, Consolidated Edison, Amer ican Radiator, U. fi. Rubber, Good year, Eastman Kodak and Johns fefanvtlle. Down were U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, General Motors, Chrysler, Anaconda, International Nickel, Du Pont. South Porto Rico Sugar and Texas Crp. Commodities were mixed. In late dealings cotton was 25 cents a bale lower to 5 cents higher. Wheat at a bushel and corn added IS to 3t Foreign markets wer steady. Bonds wen mixed.

(AP) Great Britain's wartime parliament echoed today with solemn government as surances of unified French-British determination to end "once and for all" the pressure of nazltsm. A stern warning was given Britain would not tie her hands on aerial bombing if Adolf Hitler breaks his pledge on that same score. Prime Minister Chamberlain, spruce and confident after his first supreme war council on French soil, almost hissed the words as he told tho house of commons both France and Britain would fight until they had banished "the Intolerable strain of living under the perpetual threat of nazl aggression." L'p to Gerinany Forelgn Secretary Lord Halifax si multaneously told the house of lords that Great Britain's pledges of re straint In bombing operations were based on condltlona of similar re straint by Germany. He said the British would "hold themselves completely free to take such action as they may deem appro priate" if nazl planes turned loose without discrimination on Polish civilians. This statement was prompted by a German army announcement to day which said the German army henceforth would "use all means at Its disposal" to break Polish resist ance in open towns and villages. Intent members leaning forward eagerly from crowded benches heard Chamberlain's short account of his flying trip yesterday to meet Premier Dnladier and General GnmcHii for the first supreme war council "some where in France." Methodical Advanct Traditional approving cries of "Hear! Hear I" echoed deeply aa he made these point In reviewing mili tary activities thus far: 1. Oermany so far has directed most of her activities against Poland, but she has been "frustrated" by tho "Indomitable spirit of tho Poles." 3. On the western front, France has bgun a "methodical advance" which has been "completely success ful." 8. British troops are In France, but have not gone into action yet. (French military dispatches received in Part shortly before the British parliament met said a "great num ber of well-equipped British troops are participating In combat.)" 4. The Royal Air Force already has a number of squadrons operating from French soli. 6. The British merchant fleet has suffered "somewhat severe" losses as a result of German submarine at tacks, but "submarines are constantly being attacked" and "successes have been achieved." 8. Tho British fleet has been Joined by three Polish destroyers which "proved to be very efficient and were taking part In the strenuous life of our light forces." 7. Practically all German shipping nas neen cleared off the high seas. Bars Children CLEVELAND, Ohio (UP) Com mon Pleas Judge Frank J. Merrick believes that divorce court are not the places for school children- to acquire the proper outlook on life.
