SHOE CUSTOMERS
IN SUPPLY HERE
An Increase in cistomerj, but
no Increase in business, resulted
to Medfoni shoe stores from the
end of rntlonini: since, ns one
manager said, "we have lots of
customcr but no shoes for
them."
Shoe managers queried this
morning gave almost Identical
answers some increase in cus
tomers but sales up very little
due to low stocks. One store
said sales were up about 10 per
rent this morning and that fur
ther Increases would probably
result from afternoon sales,
always heavier than morning
business.
Two others said they were
" little busier than usual" and
both of these agreed that a
great many people, who have
been asking for shoes fruitlessly
for the past several weeks, knew
better than to rush down to the
stores Just because rationing had
ended.
Wholesale houses are from
three to four months behind
shipments, it was said. Stocks
of men's shoes are getting lower
and lower, one manager pointed
out, due to the large number of
former servicemen trying to buy
shoes to go with civilian clothes,

Wall Street
New York, Oct. 31 U,R)
The Truman address on wages
and prices relieved wall street
tension todny and prices shot up
1 to more than 2 points on
accelerated trading.
Market operators regarded
the speech as constructive to
the list In that the president did
not pin Industry down to any
wage Increase figure. In addi
tion, the address was seen to re
veal possible price Increases In
many Instances.
Lack of labor troubles at pres
ent and prospects of higher pro
fits through tax relief next year
set off a buying wave In the
utility group which featured the
market. The utility shares had
top place In turnover while I
their average hit a new high
since January 23, 1937.
Gnlns In common stock utili
ties ranged to a point while the
preferred were up as much as
4H points In American power

falls of as much as two inches

SELECT LAWYERS
Nuernberg, Oct. 31 U.R)
Hermann Goering and Julius
Stretcher accepted German de
fense counsel today for their
forthcoming war crimes trial,
and prison officials revealed
that the Jew-baiting Strelcher
had entrusted his slim hope of
life to a Nuernberg lawyer
whom he had persecuted a de
cade ago.
Strelcher's choice was a mild

Hans Marx, who was forced Into
the Nazi party In 1934 and then
expelled on Strelcher's orders.
Goering selected a Kiel lawyer
named Otto Stahmer.
Marx said he spent six days
In a Nazi jail In 1934 when he
was accused of being a free
mason and plotting against
Strelcher.
