Wednesday, November 24, 1954 " MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE ' Industrial Stocks At Highest Notch In Market History New York (U.R) Industrial stocks stood today at a new all time high a notch above the record prices of the boom of 1929. The industrial shares soared Tuesday on a 3,680,000 share trading bonanza that lifted many individual stocks to rec ord highs along with the indus trial average. , y It was the first time since Sept. 3, 1929, that the industrial average rose above 381.17. This time the average was 382.74 in a market far more stable than the boom before the bust of 1929. . -Came on Steady Climb The new top came on a steady j climb that lifted the industrial average 28.78 points since the election and 127.25 points since Sept. 14, 1953. Industrial averages alone com manded the record prices. 'Rail road averages held 45 per cent below the 1929 records and util ity averages were 138 per cent below their.'previous'. highs. - Investors today took a matter of fact attitude toward the new highs. The '.: reaction was in sharp contrast to 1929 ; when . speculators greeted the market spurVfwith wild cheers. But, the wld; cheers of the 20s' were choked' soon in the biggest drop in stock market history. Wall Street experts : agreed that the 1954 market was built - on stable factors. They .saw no indications of a crack, in .prices in the foreseeable future. ' Future Plans of Alger Hiss Unknown as Prison Release Date Wears Editor'! note: This is the first of three part series dealing with, the life and conviction of Alger Hiss, soon to be released from prison. . By JOHN GAUDIOSI 'United Press Correspondent Lewisburg, Pa. (U.R) Alger Hiss will be awakened at 6:45 a.m. next Saturday by a bugle call and the blast of a whistle outside his cell in the federal penitentiary. He will wash, shave and dress in 15 minutes; make his bed and then go to breakfast with the other, convicts as he has done for three years and eight months. But. Saturday: will be differ ent. At 9 a.m, he will walk out the prison gates. He will be free, in a sense. Hiss apparently intends to stick to the position that there was no truth whatsoever to Whittaker Chamber's story that the two of them worked in a Communist spy ring in the 1930's and that he gave Cham bers secret State Department papers. Denial Meant Prison His denial of those two points sent him to prison for perjury, . Two congressional committees have indicated they want to question again this man who r6se high in state councils, serv ed as adviser to President Roose velt at Yalta, was secretary gen eral of the San Francisco Con ference at which the United Na tions was born. Hiss, now 50, a little- fatter and considerably grayer, will be met at the penitentiary gate by his wife and, probably, a small army of newspapermen. It is understood the Hisses will then drive to New York to the small Manhattan apartment where Mrs. "Hiss has been living. -Hiss has been a "model" pris oner at Lewisburg, according to warden Fred Wilkinson. His good behavior won him a year Knowland Sees No 'Basic Conflict' With Eisenhower Washington (U.R) Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland said he does not think there is a "basic conflict" between himself . of and Presi dent Eisenhower on foreign pol icy. "Actually, the policy which I have very strongly supported is the policy of the administration as l understand it during xne 1952 campaign and when we (the Republicans) came into pow er in January, 1953," Knowland said. "In other words, it was not merely going to be contain ment but ultimate liberation of Communist-held countries." Major Difference Possible Knowland - said in an inter view with Newsweek magazine there would bea "major dif ference" between him and the administration, however, if the administration "should buy peaceful coexistence at the price of bringing Red China into the United Nations and the freezing or guaranteeing of the present boundaries of the Communist world." He also renewed his call for an immediate break in diplomat ic relations with Russia, a move opposed by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. 1 open Wed.

Wife on 'Outside Last week he had the custom ary talk with the warden about his future life on the "outside." Wilkinson declined to discuss it, but it must have been interest ing indeed. Mrs. Hiss and their son, An thony, 13, have been living quietly in the third floor walk out apartment. The boy has gone to a private school. Friends say he is bright and well adjusted socially. Mrs. Hiss worked in a bookstore, attended Quaker services occasionally and spent a few ' evenings a week with friends. - - . , ' , Chambers is now living at his Maryland farm, the place where he hid in a hollowed-out pump kin the microfilm that played such. an important role in con victing Hiss in the second of two trials; Chambers has r indicated he intends to say no more about the man he accused of espionage for the -Soviet -Union. Future Unknown "" How Hiss will make his living now is unknown. He has been disbarred by the United States Supreme Court and , by New York state. He could be em ployed as an adviser in a law firm. That would be a come down indeed for an attorney who began as clerk to Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., and who had two Supreme Court justices as character witnesses at his trial. Congress has revoked the gov ernment pension which Hiss would have begun receiving at age 62. He cannot vote, he can never hold federal office nor can be get a passport to ' travel abroad. His brother', Donald, has said he presumes Hiss will live in New York with - his wife and son. Donald says he does not think Alger will write a book telling his , own story as Whit taker Chambers did. The brotner said . he is convinced Alger is innocent but doubts whether he will ever be able to vindicate himself. - i i. r r IT fi mm 1 IM1 l u vyuuu WITH THE AMAZING YOU CAN ALL TOD Viral s WHHCC mm 0 PEN FRIDAY Till 7:00 P.M.
