The rail average was at 155.68, up 58.72 points or 61 per cent; utilities 85.25, up 16.67 or 24 per cent; and 65 stocks 194.05, up 43.34 points or 33 per cent. The Standard & Poor's In- n tioier waizer dex of 500 stocks closed Fri day at 52.48, up 12.49 from the close of 1957. That runs around the average price of stocks and hence the rise means an average gain of $12.49 for each listed share of which there are now around five billion. Trading for the first 11 months of the year amounts to 671,140,480 shares, most for the period and for any full year since 1930. In 1930 sales for the full year totaled 810,632,546 shares, against 1,124,800,410 in 1929 and 930,893,276 in 1928. These were the three biggest years in stock market history. Fourth Largest The year 1958 will be the fourth largest in market his tory. Zy yliiSilPIB fill G&& r ; v Av I J i A vJw?

He disappeared two months ago after attending Kansas religious conference. Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Washington-Chairman John L. McClellan (D.-Ark.) of the Senate rackets investigating subcommittee, on the schedul ing of new hearings this week into gangland infiltration of the coin-operated machine business: "We are endeavoring to discover lhe extent of racketeer Infiltration into this multi-billion dollar industry.". Kansas City, Kan.-CPB-Kansas university sophomore Low ell Lee Andrews, 18, after slaying his mother, father and sister: "I was tired cf arguing with them about money, so I shot them." New York-British actor Kenneth More, on bust size be coming the gauge for an actress' success: . "The idea that girls can get to the top on bosoms is extra ordinary. I like a little bit of wit and polish, but that kind of actress has sort of died out due to the bosom cult." All three of the major av erages-industrials, rail and utility have risen in 10 of the past 11 months of 1958. The industrials and rails had declines in February and the utilities had their one-month loser in August. The best gains in industrials and rails was made in July when the former rose 24.81 points and the latter 12.92 points. The best utility rise was in January when traders were buying defensive issues. That one amounted to 3.69 points. In November, industrials rose 14.24 points, rails 7.12 points and utilities 2.03 points. Back in November, 1928, the industrials soared 41.22 points from 252.16 at the close of October to 293.38 at the close of November. Rails rose from 141.66 to 151.78, the lat ter up 10.12 points. The month of December saw some realiz ing back there, but on the last day, the industrials had a little spurt to close the year 1928 at exactly 300, a memorable figure in the average - the record high to the date. All Night Celebration ' On New Year's Eve - Dec. 31, 1928 - a Monday - Wall Streeters stayed downtown late to celebrate as they never celebrated before. The scraps that developed on the high-powered hooch of the day brought some New Year's resolutions in the finan cial district that read like this: "Never again will we have year-end office parties." The financial district's en thusiasm was at a high pitch at the end of November And the cheering echoed uptown and out into the whole nation for everyone was getting into the market. You just couldn't lose, the bootblacks said as they passed out tips on what to buy. They were right be cause the market did rise and tips made good. Today the market accepts its rise in a business-like man ner. This advance has been much greater than any other, although there have been big ger percentage gains because prices were lower to start with than this year's. Facts Now Favored Today's stock buyers are a different lot. They are more interested in facts than in tips, The investment clubs are busy studying the various stocks and trends. Individual invest ors do follow some tips, but less vigorously and with much more margin for safety than they did in the 1920s. This market, say the ex perts, though high, still is sound. It might fall some more as a corrective measure with profit-taking the urge. But, they add, there doesn't appear to be any danger of a wild smash such as the one that wrecked the list in 1929. By WILLIAM EWALD UPI Correspondent New York -UPD- It is, of course, unfair to compare the TV production of "Wonderful Town" with its Broadway cousin, but I will anyway. I remember the Broadway piece as an essay in un hinged revel ry, a musical in which par oxyms of tu mult were William Ewald tumbled atop each other. It was all a little like an amiable explosion. The two hour "Wonderful Town" on CBS-TV Sunday night was amiable, too. But it was more like an amiable romp, a gambol through the woods of a rather hygienic bohemia. What it lacked was ferment. Style and Spirit It is impossible t o do a bad "Wonderful Town" with Ros alind Russell in tow. Miss Russell is a player with style and spirit. She funnels out a kind of elegantly clumsy whoop-it-upness that . adds flair to any production. She reminds me a little of a high mettled and very chic kang aroo. Sunday night,. Miss Russell was in pretty good form and she juiced the proceedings considerably. So did Jackie McKeever, who played Miss Russell's sister with a nice sense of bounce. Along with Sydney Chaplin, who owns a pleasant if undistinguished voice, they were the vehicle's principal assets and spanked alive such numbers as "Ohio" "Conversation Piece" and "A Quiet Girl." A dance number, "Swing," with' Miss Russell should also be included in the asset grouping. But where "Wonderful Town" went wrong was in some of its supporting parts where the acting was not housebroken for TV and in its direction which tended to ward the sluggish side. I should add that the frequent insertion of commercials did not help any they impeded the flow of the production and prevented it from any possibility of breaking loose. All in all, a pleasant offer ing, marred mainly by the un evenness of its playing and by its lack of rollicking, head long lunacy. SHORT SHOTS: Victor Borge's one hour special for CBS-TV Saturday night was moderately ingratiating, not quit;e up to the high level he set in his previous spectacu lars. Borge seems to have skimped on writers and as a result, the show leaned heav ily on sight jokes and large chunks of rather unadven turous music. What the show needed were some extended routines of the nuttier Borge sort. "I agree with you," was the most frequently uttered sen timent during the Harry Truman-Clement Attlee chat on Ed Murrow's "Small World" on CBS-TV Sunday, but even though the show failed to provide much meat to chew on, it was an agreeable half hour. THE CHANNEL SWIM: CBS-TV's "Armstrong Circle Theater" will scrap its dra matice formula on Christmas Eve and substitute a program of readings, carols and com edy. Victor Jory and Dick Van Dyke will star. Art Linkletter will take a one week break from CBS TV's "House Party" starting Dec. 5 to vacation in Guate mala his son, Jack, will spell Linkletter. Is That So? By OLGA BURNS To think of a jack rabbit is to think of the West, but there is a type that is common in much of the East also the snowshoe rabbit or vary ing hare. He is called a varying hare because he varies his coat, changing it to a pure white for winter and' to a well cam ouflaging brown for the rest of the year. The change is made for safety of course, but sometimes it crosses him up. The reason is that it is made more according to the season than the weather. For example, along about now if you happen to see a varying hare while walking through the countryside, his coat is likely to be part white and part brown.

O -jj. : -.-:?8fliWS - IMJ SUFFERING a mild heart disturbance, Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter has been hospitalized. , PREDICT GOOD YEAR Washington (UPD A group of business leaders polled by a magazine predict 1959 will be a good year for the econ omy and for their firms. later he will be all white. But, as sometimes happens, snow will not have fallen by then, and in that case the long eared fellow is an easy mark not only for two-legged hunt ers but a host of other pred ators, too, including practical ly every carnivore from a weasel to a bear, as well as many birds. This unfortunate contre temps seems to occur more often in the hare's eastern range that includes all of New England and well down into the South along the upper levels of the Appalachian mountain range. Since Nature has provided many creatures that need cam ouflage with the ability to get. it rapidly as needed, it seems strange that it hasn't done so with the varying hare. Except for speed and the abil ity to hide he has no effective means of defense. He doesn't even burrow in the ground for concealment. However, he does have an astounding reproductive ca pacity. The mating season be gins in March and may last for six months during which there may be three or four litters with as many as six in each. The young mature rapidly, some being able to fend for themselves within three weeks. Since one pair may continue to reproduce for five years and the offspring are completely adult by the fol lowing March, it is not at all surprising that their numbers may run as high as 1,000 to an acre or even more. Though their numbers are heavily slashed by a plague when the peak of the popula tion cycle is reached, which may be in ten years, perhaps the hare's change of coat pri or to snowfall is another lim iting factor on his population increase. Certainly the bal ance of nature is such a deli cately adjusted mechanism that even so minor a point as this could be of decisive im portance.
