Wall St. Report
New York, April 6 (P)
Aided by the law of averages
and a marked tapering of selling,
the stock market today extenued
its Easter week rise by trac
tions to a point or more for most
leaders.
The advance attained no great
momentum at any time because
the bidding was marked by the
familiar restraints. There were
signs however, that market fol
lowers in slightly greater num
ber were willing to chance com
mitments on the theory prices
were due for a turn after sever
al months of almost steady de
cline. Transactions were approxi
mately 350,000 shares.

Forest Fire Control
Desperate Problem
Along Pacific Coast
Washington, April 6. (PI
Forest fire control on the Paci
fic coast was described in test's
mony released by the senate ap
propriations committee today as
"the most desperate problem in
the whole United States today."
The testimony was given by
Senator Downey (D. -Calif.) who
opposed $16,000,000 cut in
fire fighting appropriation for
the forestry service.
"I think the forestry service
made a tremendous mistake in
not asking for $75,000,000 or
$100,000,000 instead of $18,000,
000," Downey said. "The bud
get allowed $5,000,000 and the
house cut that to $2,000,000, and
I think that they made a very
grevious mistake, not knowing
the facts."
The committee also made pub
lic a statement by Senator Clark
(D.-Idaho), who said:
"The enemy no doubt has
carefully laid plans to cause
widespread damage and con
fusion by setting the forests on
ire.

AND SON IN NAVY0
A Medford father and son
who enlisted in the U. S. navy
less than a month apart were
the subjects recently of an in
teresting story in "The Hoist,"
weekly paper of the U. S. naval
training station at San Diego.
Charles A. Bucher, Sr., is
rounding out the indoctrination
period of his training at Camp
Lawrence, while Charles, Jr., is
attending the hospital corpsmen
school at the U. S. naval hos
pital in San Diego.
Said the story: "Bucher,
senior, a third-class storekeeper
attached to Co. 3A, worked in a
clerical spot for the California
Oregon Power company for two
and a half years in Medford,
Ore., where he enlisted in the
naval reserve February 14.
Bucher, junior, beat his fatherJ
to the punch when it came to
enlisting by signing up as an
apprentice seaman in Los An
geles January 26, less than a
week after he turned 17."
