Miclcel is retiring at 1 years end after 4S years with the fnited Press. His title was superintendent of the bureaus. Also the purse strings he held. Particularly when it came to ex pense accounts. O Once there was a reporter who prowled tie acres of the world and somehow always came up minus $39.39 out of his own wal let. This clown would sweat and arlJ and subtract in the compo-', ition of his expense account. Oneday he woke up with a , bright thought. On 'each vouch ; er he ould put down: "Type ' writer repair: $39.39." "Mick" put up with this non- T"'n for a goori long time and finally his patience fled. The reported was about to em bark on a ra'tfhty mission, gear packed and a.t. But. barring him at the elevator at U.P. headquar- . ters in thf Daily News Building fcSi-w York, he found little ' -Mick." The watchdog of finance said: ;rri, getting darn tired of 'fixing that old typewriter of yours. LETS 66T OUT J UL- ir ( llE VI (1 -i. O IW1INIS. rJ TWfc NTTIV Z lk.1 ! yll I Al Jl I . - o VLV .MvTi?.

Phone 2-2677 Combination Bear-Bull Market Dominates 1956 on Lower Volume BY ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York (U.R) President Eisenhower's health, tight money, and international news swayed a highly irregular stock market during 1956. On average the market accomplished a lit tle less than nothing. As the brokers saw it, the mar ket was neither bear nor bull, but a combination of each. It was a bear market for such groups as the chemicals, televi sions, tobaccos, rails, papers, auto shares, communications, and merchantiles. It was a bull market for sugars, steels, oils drugs, metals, cements, road builders, ship builders, oil equipments, mach inery issues, coal issues, and na tural gas companies. It was a bit of bull and a bit of bear for the electrical equip ments, tires, aircrafts, buijding equipments and utilities. The blue chips in the Dow- Jones average were as mixed as the remainder of the market. Of the 30 industrials in that aver age, 15 rose and 15 fell; in rails 3 rose and 17 fell; in utilities 8 rose and 7 fell. Volume Off From 1955 Trading fell under 1955 but was above 1954. Daily volume averaged around 2,200,000 shares. The market appeared to have a floor in the 458-464 area. Each time it came into that area there were five such periods support developed and prices rose. Brokers still consider the mar ket as a whole a bull market, the same bull market that start ed on June 13, 1949. They aren't expecting any wide gains or any wide declines in 1957. They ap pear to be content on a predic tion of a consolidating market, More I : i 35c BLEACHED a l S : 7 ' -lTd wrds wn ,ow-prked brands reduced! ' V 4JW ' 1 laMeSted nd flPPr0Ved!

Up to now ; this situation has brought bond j prices down and yeilds up, thus i making bonds more attractive than stocks. But investors were not dumping their stock holdings and no wholesale liquidation was foreseen. Record Set On April 6 I The market in 1956 made its : low in Dow-Jones industrials on j Jan. 23 at 462.35 and its high j in that average on April 6 at 521.05, the all-time high. Rails ! made their low on Nov. 29 at j 150.44 and their high on May 9 at 181.23, the best since Sept. ! 21, 1929. Utilities hit their top . on Aug. 7 at 71.17 and their low at 63.03 on Jan. 23. Additions to the board include j such famous family held com-1 panies as Ford and Campbell's Soup. Ford was offered to the i public at S64.50 a share, ran up to S71 in the over-the counter j market and ranged between a , high of $63.38 and a low of S51.63 after listing on March 7. i During the year nearly 100 listed issues split stock, about i half of them on a two-for-one ' basis. The market was swayed by such international items as seizure of the Suez canal by the Egyptians, invasion of Egypt by ' Britain, France and Isael, a Po-; lish revolution, riots in Hung-: ary, difficulties in Syria, Cyprus j and Algiers but never lost its poise. It went through a steel strike with steel shares rising to new ; highs. It didn't ignore tight j money, but the overall effect of that phenomenon had only passing influence. Late in the year, the air cleared and the list made its tratitional year- end advance. 3.79 FULL MATTRESS PAD Filling won't shift!
