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

and four months off his five year
term. It also got him a cell for
himself in the 1400 inmate pris
on. .
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. -
