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.

was the bell wether of grain
prices today and the dark bread
cereal advanced more than two
cents a bushel after a weak start.
Heavy buying orders by east

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.

lector at the Klamath Falls field
office of the U. S. bureau of in
ternal revenue.

ation must be made by every cit
izen or resident of the United
States if he comes within any of
the following groups:
1. Single or married but not
living with spouse at the date
prescribed for the making of the
declaration (whether or not head

reasonably expects to have for
1943
(a) Gross income of more than
$2700.00 from wages subject to
withholding; or
(b) Gross income of $500.00

turn for 1942 and whose wages
subject to withholding for 1943

Freezing of Turkeys
To End In October
SAN FRANCISCO. 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. CRAVE PROBLEM
