OREGON AuffUKt 38, 194t Mabketl and financial T REACH TURNOVER E By VICTOR EUBANK NEW YORK, Aug. 23 (IP) Stocks again sold off today on the largest market turnover in about three weeks. Reasons for the extension of the recent decline varied. Pre dominant, however, was obvi ous speculative and investment confusion over international af fairs including the withdrawal of Russian Ambassador Litvin- off from his Washington post and the persistent thought that big war events would follow the Quebec conference. The soviet victory at Kharkov did not alleviate Wall street nerv ousness. The list dipped at the start and dealings picked up briskly for a . while. Losses ran to around 2 points for industrial leaders. Timid buying support then arrived but volume dwind led appreciably on the attempt ed comeback. Near-closing pric es were moderately above the lows in most cases. Transfers were around 700,000 shares. Conspicuous on the retreat were U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, General Motors, Chrysler, San ta Fe, DuPont, Allied Chemical, American Telephone, Johns Manville, U. S. Gypsum and Philip Morris. Bonds emulated stocks in most particulars.

Heavy buying orders by east ern sources, which only recently Were heavy sellers, brought strength to the market. The ad vance, in rye imparted firmness to wheat and oats. Trade was generally light in all the grain pits as traders studied implica tions of pending developments in the war strategy, changes in food prices and sought an ex planation of late Russian moves. Rye closed firm and U-2Jc above Saturday's finish, Septem ber $1,001-1, wheat J-lc higher, September $1.44, and oats I-lc up, September 718c.

Alio. 23 (IP) Abundant supplies of tur keys will bo nuido availablo to civilians again about October 1, the regional war food adminis tration said today. Turkeys were frozen as of today to in sure an adequate holiday sup. ply for servicemen. "All restrictions on turkeys win be lifted as quickly as tho armed forces obtain the re quired 10,000,000 pounds for early overseas shipment," . the WFA said. "1'hero is a record crop of turkeys this ycur and, unless during the next few weeks early marketings of 1943 crop birds are considerably smaller than in previous years, it is not expected that the em bargo will extend much beyond October 1." SEE RETURN WASHINGTON. Aug. 23 (P) u. c. Speaker ' predicted today that Ambassador William H. Standley would return soon from his Moscow post, thereby completing the reshuffle of soviet-United States diplomatic representation. But Speaker, the unofficial capital authority, emphasized that a sharp distinction should be drawn between Standlcy's re tirement as ambassador to Rus sia and the withdrawal of Maxim Litvinof as soviet ambassador to the United States. "The replacement of Litvlnoff at Washington, coming so soon after the withdrawal of Ambas sador Maisky from London, doubtless was dictated by rea sons of international policy fully known only to Joseph Stalin," Speaker said. "On the contrary, Standley, the salty retired admiral, has wanted to quit for some time. His friends were aware of this long before Litvinoff went home. His reasons arc personal and not, In contract to Litvinoff, directed by his government. The latest word brought from Moscow is that Standley wants to be back In the United States in October." JAPS REPORT U. S. By The Associated Pitts A Tokyo broadcast, uncon firmed by reports from Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquar ters, said today that the "deadly fire by Japanese land units de fending Kolombangara island foiled landing attempts by Unit ed States forces at dawn yester day." Kolombangara island Is just north of New Georgia island and is the site of the base of Vila, possibly the next American ob jective after the capture of Mun- da. The landing attempt was made from about 15 barges and tor pedo boats, the broadcast said. "Enemy barges were sunk by ac curate fire of the Japanese de fenders," it added. Turkey Embargo May Be Lifted PORTLAND, Aug. 23 (IP) The war food administration said today that the embargo on the sale or serving of turkey to civilians may be lifted around October 1. Restrictions will be removed as soon as the armed forces ob tain their required 10,000,000 pounds, the announcement said, pointing out that nearly 2,000, 000 pounds were obtained since the freeze was ordered two weeks ago. Invasion Base Should Be England Says Soviet Paper MOSCOW, Aug. 23 (JP) Prav- da, the communist party newspa per, said today that the British Isles should be "the main base for invasion of the continent." "A crushing blow upon Ger many Is almost impossible to con ceive without utilizing the enor mous strategic advantage of the British Isles," Pravda asserted. Invasion from England, the newspaper added, could be sup ported by a strong aerial fighter force as well as army and navy bombers. It estimated 20 times fewer ships would be required to land and supply forces In west ern Europe than would be need ed for an invasion from the Med iterranean.
