Analysts Point to
Benefits of Buying
Nonglamor Stocks

United Press Financial Editor
New York (I With the stock
market in what Wall Street de
scribes as a rest area, the anal
ysts are point
ing to the
benefit to be
derived from
buying the
non-glamor is-
mane in uie
financial dis
trict that the
general public
likes to buy
stocks when prices are rising. A
steady stock with a good yield
doesn't have the appeal of one
that is in an upswing to the tune
of some special development of
future prospect.
According to L. O. Hooper,
anlayst for W. E. Hutton, there
has seldom been a time when
one could find so many good
values in nonglamor stocks and
so few apparent good values in
the glamor issues.
High Stocks
"Unfortunately," he observes,
"investors at the moment are
more interested in buying stocks
of the type that are high than
in buying equities of the type
that are not high."
Hooper has prepared a list of
some not too popular income
type issues which are regarded
as "good values without that sex
appeal which now seems the
sine qua non of popularity."
The tendency of the public to
buy stocks when prices are high
was one of the characteristics of
the boom that ended in 1929.
Back there pools operated
with abandon and the public
fooled the experts many a time.
Pool managers would set a goal
for their stock at a level several
points above the market and
then go to work to boost the
price.
The public bought with such
vigor that even when the pool
abandoned the stock it kept right
Morse Refuses
To Help Crosby
Portland HP Sen. Wayne
Morse (D.-Ore.) Monday turned
down a plea from Oregon Team
ster leader Clyde C. Crosby that
the senator intervene on Cros
by's behalf with Oregon state
law enforcement officials, the
Oregonian reported from Wash
ington, D.C., today.
Crosby, recently acquitted of
a conspiracy charge, had written
Morse and complained of be
ing "persecuted" by Robert Y.
Thornton, Oregon attorney gen
eral. The newspaper quoted Morse
in a letter to the Teamster offi
cial as saying it would be "im
proper for me. or anyone else, to
reek to have the charges (against
Crosby) dropped by attempting
to bring pressure of any kind
upon the attorney general of the
state, or the prosecutor's office
or the governor's office."
Crosby still faces several in
dictments evolving from recent
Multnomah county investigations.
on going up. Sometimes the pools
got into action again, accumulat
ed the same stock and ran it
up further with the help of the
little fellows who then could
buy on a shoestring
Market Different
Today's market is entirely dif
ferent from the one in 1929 with
the exception of the yearning of
the average trader to chase
stocks to higher levels, the ex
perts point out.
There are no pools operating
today and it's mighty difficult
to jiggle stocks without being
caught.
And, of course, the shoestring
operator is out of the running
since the current federal reserve
rule calls for a margin of 70
per cent of the cost of the stock.
To buy $100 worth of stock on'
margin, one must put up $70 at
least.
That's seen as one of the rea
sons there are no shakeouts in
the market like those of old.
The experts see the present
market in a heavy supply area
and say a rest at this point is
welcome to permit consolidation
before another attempt to pierce
the 16-month record high in the
industrials.
Portlander Killed
In Auto Collision
Salem (IP! A man was killed
and a woman and her daughter
were injured in a headon auto
crash about two miles west of
here Monday.
Dead is Theodore Frederick
Sanders, about 42, Portland. At
Salem General hospital with
"serious" head injuries was Eliz
abeth Spencer Rademaker, 43,
Salem. Her daughter Janice, 14,
suffered a broken arm and also
was hospitalized. '
State police said Sanders lost
control of his car on a curve on
the Salem-Dallas highway about
2:40 p.m. He managed to get his
car back on the road, but ran
head-on into the Rademaker ve
hicle. Mrs. Rademaker, an employee
of MacLaren School for Boys at
Woodburn, was driving an Ore
gon state car. Sanders was alone,
police said, driving toward Sa
lem when the crash occurred.

symptoms of inebriation, de
pending on dosage, but without
the aroma of alcohol and of
course with a negative breath-

Breed Obituaries
Should a person who has had
barbiturates, take a drink "the
effect of the two substances is
at least additive" he continued
and it may be that one will
greatly multiply the effect of
the other.
For his money, he said, "bar
biturates breed too many obituaries."

scribed for allergic conditions.
also depress and add to "a fa
tigued and perhaps disconsolate
state resulting from the alergy
Pharmacological science has rec
ognized this by adding mild
stimulants to anti-histimines.
But "use of stimulating drugs
is also of concern, since over
dosages of amphetamine and
similar substances are apt to
affect a highly reactive state in
which mental processes and re
flexes may be grossly disturb
ed," he continued in the tech
nical journal, Post-Graduate
Medicine.
"One might also question the
wisdom of a person driving
while he is taking so-called tran-
quilizing agents, which are not
without side actions and are
known to produce a 'don't give
a damn' attitude."
Other Dangerous Drugs
His point was that "while
alcohol is a serious problem'
in . this useless slaughter re
sulting from automobile accid
dents' "we should not forget
other drugs." In some ways he
said, alcohol is not the most
dangerous drug potentially in
the driver because "the effects
of over indulgence are usually
obvious," which is not so of the
other drugs.
"Many persons, of their own
volition, or on advice of a phy
sician, are taking drugs which
have a definite effect on the
central nervous system," he said
"We need not stress that users
of marihuana, morphone, heroin
or cocaine have no business driv
ing a car but insufficient thought
has been given to the effect of
more commonly used drugs.
He didn't think that all the
efforts to educate the public on
the dangers of mixing drinking
and driving, were getting .very
far, since the "use of alcoholic
drinks is so common." The pub
lic seems indifferent, and "drink
ers continue to drive, and drivers
to drink, and with an indiffer
ence that endangers themselves
and others.'

New York lfl When peo
ple ask me what rock 'n' roll is
doing to the younger generation
I always say, "It's making them
happy!"
It's making me happy, too.
Because I know that their
music and make no mistake
about it, the kids discovered rock
'n' roll and it belongs to them
is giving them a powerful in
terest that is working against
juvenile delinquency.
Interested in Youngsters
Sure, I'm making my living
in rock 'n' roll music. But my
wife and I have two boys and
two girls and naturally, we're in
terested as any parents in the
welfare of youngsters.
Unfortunately, many parents
don't understand the importance
of rock 'n' roll to their teen-age
offspring. The kids feel that it's
new, it's theirs and something
they understand and enjoy. A
healthy, wholesome way to get
rid of excess energy. The kids
are just as much a part of it as
the performers.
You'll see what I mean when
you tune in "The Big Beat" on
ABC-TV. Rock 'n' roll audiences,
loving the music, are really part
of the show.
In looking back to my own
teen-age years, I recall how en
thralled I was with swing, with

Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller
and Harry James. Maybe today's
teen-agers are more enthusiastic
about their music. Maybe it
seems that way because I'm old
er now. But obviously, every
generation has its own music.
I sincerely believe that no
music is immoral. When a young
ster starts out listening to music,
any sort of music, he is in ef
fect whetting his appetite for
culture, leading him, as some
surveys indicate, to an interest
in opera and the classics.
W'hat will happen when to
day's teen-agers become the old
er generation?
Probably history will repeat
itself and there'll be a new mu
sic form to replace rock 'n' roll,
just as swing was replaced.
But rock 'n' roll, has become
so strong I doubt if it'll ever
completely pass away. Like the
classic swing tunes, the best of
rock 'n' roll will become part of
our musical heritage.
And the kids will be respon
sible for it.
