Stocks Bounce Around As Tickers Run Late New York W Stocks bounced around today with the tickers late most of the session. An irregularly lower opening preceded a substantial rally. La ter prices turned down again with railroad issues holding bet ter than other sections. Extreme ticker lateness ran to seven minutes in the late deal ings when prices were tending lower. The morning rally reflected some bargain hunting and short covering. When these were out of the way, the selling carried prices down further.

One of these told of a supposed uprising in Syria, an uprising that might eventual ly touch off a powder keg in that area.

Shooting Accident, Girard Declares Maebashi, Japan HP! Army S3C William S. Girard took the stand at his trial for manslaugh ter today and swore his shooting of Mrs. Naka Sakai was an acci dent. Both the prosecution and de fense rested their cases after the 22-year-old Ottawa, 111., sol dier testified on the events at the Camp Weir firing range last Jan. 30. Chief Judge Yuzo Kawachi ordered the next session to be held Oct. 31. The prosecution is expected to deliver its summa tion then. Girard's testimony contracted almost completely the testimony given by prosecution witnesses, including his former Army bud dy, S3C Victor N. Nickel, of Inksfer, Mich. Girard was in the witness box for almost three hours un der questioning by Kawachi and defense attorney Itsuro Hayashi. The prosecution did not cross examine Girard, asking only that that he demonstrate how to hold an M-l rifle. The 46-year-old Mrs. Sakai was fatally wounded by an empty cartridge fire from a rifle grenade launcher while sal vaging scrap metal on the firing range in defiance of orders by both U. S. and Japanese author ities. DAILY WEATHER FORECASTS Medford and vicinity Generally cloudy tonight and Wednesday, few light showers rain in valleys, rain changing to snow in mountains.

MAIL TRIBU1W TLVtWX Blaze Destroys Storage Plant MOSES LAKE, Wash. flPS Only two walls of the Western Cold Storage plant here were standing today following a blaze firemen battled for nearly nine hours Monday. Several firemen and two wag ons remained at the scene throughout the night as tons of sawdust used as insulation in the two-foot walls continued to smolder. Officials said that ammonia tanks located in the basement of the building still might explode although it was doubtful. Sand bags were placed around the tanks earlier in case of explo sions. The business district for three blocks around was cleared out Monday afternoon but firemen said stores may open for bus iness today. The west end of town was without telephone service when wires in the vicinity of the fire were burned. An estimate of the damage to the contents of the building, which included the city's street Christmas decorations was set at $300,000. Officials said the es timate did not include the three story structure itself. Destruction included the ware house, packing plans and frozen food lockers. Detruction included the ware house, packing plant and frozen food lockers. Cause of the fire was not determined.
