WALL STREET
NEW YORK (AP) - The slock
market closed at another record
high today in active trading. Late
prices were below their best of the
tession.
In late afternoon key issues
were up fractions to around two
points a share.
Some favorites fared considera
bly better. U.S. Steel paced a
higher steel group with a gain of
more than five.
U.S. Steel is among number
of issues mentioned as potential
split candidates since the split of
' American Telephone & Telegraph
. was proposed.
Utilities, metals, chemicals, rub
. bers, and electronics issues also
, were strong. Motors and rails
generally edged up fractions. Oils
were mixed. Airlines and aircraft
', were a shade lower.
Turnover was at a rate of 3.
1 900.000 shares for the day com
pared with last Wednesday's 3,
050.000. The advance was regarded by
many in Wall Street as a tradi
tional yearend rally.

Resolution
YREKA A resolution was adont
ed by the Siskiyou County Board of
supervisors, during a recent session
placing their stamp of approval on
Siskiyou County joining with Te
hama, Shasta and Butte counties in
the construction of a boys camp on
Mt. Shasta for delinquent youths
between the ages of 15 and 17, who
are not in enough serious trouble to
warrant them being placed wilh the
California Youth Authority.
Superior Judge James M. Allen
and county Probation Officer Jess
Brewer requested the resolution be
adopted by the supervisors, stating
that the camp would be an ideal
place for the boys, and closer than
any other site required.
It was necessary that the resolu
tion be made to assure a contribu
tion of $36,000 toward the camp by
the state. Siskiyou County has al
ready budgeted $11,500 for the
camp, and anticipates an annual
expenditure of $2,700.
Work will be provided for the
youths at the camp by the U.S. For
est Service.

PARIS. (UPI) - Last May 29
the highest personage of the
French republic, President Rene
Coty, stood before a palpitating
cnamber-lull oi deputies and in
voked the name of Gen. Charles
de Gaulle. There was a historic
inevitability about it.
The mobs were loose in the

streets of Paris. Police leaves had

for France the choice was be

man whose integrity nobody ques

The assembly eratefu v chose
De Gaulle and the nation ratified
this choice months later, in De
Gaulle's constitutional referendum
of Sept. 28, 1957, by an 80 per
ceni vote lor mm.
Yet 18 years earlier when De
Gaulle broadcast his appeal to a
prostrate franco on June 18. 1940.
few Frenchmen had ever heard
of him.
"This war is not over wilh the
battle of France," De Gaulle said
then. This war is a world war.
(An anonymous but wideawake
publicist later changed this to
"France has lost a battle; she
has not lost the war.")
De Gaulle went on. "everv
Frenchman who still bears arms
has the absolute duty of continu

Ocean Floor
Termed Rocky
WASHINGTON (AP)-The floor
of the Arctic Ocean may be as
rugged as the Rocky Mountains,
a scientist reported today.
The report was one more close
up of Mother Earth provided by
U.S. scientists during the Interna
tional Geophysical . Year, which
ends Wednesday,
It was made by geophysicist
Kenneth Hunkins of Columbia Uni
versity's Lamont Geological Lab
oratory at a meeting of the Amer
ican Assn. for the Advancement of
Science.
Hunkins reported on what the
underwater world looked like a
world through which the nuclear
submarines Nautilus and Skate
worked their way carefully a few
months ago.
Above the path taken by the sub
marines, U.S. scientists floated on
a wandering table of ice.
Using echoes from explosions.
Ihey charted the Arctic Ocean bot
tom. They found a huge underwater
plateau stretching from Ellesmere
Island, the northernmost point of
Canadian territory, to eastern Si
beria.
In the center, parts of this pi;
teau come within 4,500 feet of the
surface. On the sides, it drops to
depths of 10.000 to 15.000 feet.
U.S. Air Force and IGY scien
tists made the first photographs
of the Arctic Ocean floor from
their floating laboratory, Drifting

There are remarkable numbers
of rocks strewn over the ocean
bottom, as seen in the underwater
pictures.
