May M, 1963 WALL STREET CHATTER NEW YORK (UPI) - The real danger in the current slock mar ket is the obvious increase in the degree of speculation, says Syl van Epstein of Reuben Rose 4 Co., Inc. Epstein says that "one has only to look at the tape to become aware of the amount of activity in low-priced, low-quality stocks that nobody dreamed of trading three months ago. ' He says he ts not referring to speculative stocks, per se, but rather to that category which shows volume on the tape for no apparent reason only to disappear from the tape and be replaced by another category. "This type of action is general ly indicative of an overbought market condition and is usually followed by a, reactionary phase," he adds. Jerome H, Goldberg of Ira Haupt It Co. says the only sur prising part of this market is the consistency of the pattern that it is following. Presently, the great est amount of interest is evidently centered on the better quality sec ondary stocks which have not as yet fully participated in the ad vance. "Such action Is expected to continue during the next few weeks," Goldberg says. WALL STREET NEW . YORK (UPI) - Slocks were mixed today.

Although tlie commission de clined to' liberalize its policy, it deferred to local welfare agencies the authority to determine the cri teria of "able bodied" in individ ual cases. The issue, one of several dis cussed by the commission this morning, was brought before the group by commissioner Mrs. Frank Bash, who urged the com mission to restate its position against opening the door to provid ing monetary aid to single, un working males. In defense of the commission's stand, Mrs. Bash reported that in tlve event of extreme emergency counties have means of providing assistance to such people. Exception Was taken to Hie com missioner's appraisal by C. V. Goodwin, representing Deschutes County, who slated that no such aid was available to people in that category in his county. Commissioner Mrs. Geraldioo Derby commented on a more lib eral program that the commis sion had adopted Mime xcars ago but had since dropied because it roved unworkable.

Tlve sirens to come later will be located at Balsam Drive and Emerald Street, South Sixth Street and Summers Lane, and in the vicinity of Brooklyn Avenue and Crest Street. The seven sirens were pur chased by the county for $6,485.75, with 50 per cent of the cost pro vided by the federal government and the remaining expense shared by the state and county. Searlcs stated that a test alert will be sounded at a .pre-set lime within the next few weeks to de termine if there are any "deaf" spots in the partial network. Subsequent tests will be con ducted monthly and will last long enough lo insure that the si rens are all operating satisfactor ily, Searles added. To refresh the memory of the public, Searles explained the Na tional Warning System and the meaning of the alert signals. "In the event of nuclear at tack on the United States, a warn ing would go out over the National Warning System and would be received at the Klamath Falls Dis trict Warning Point, which is in operation on a 24-hour basis at the Klamath County Jail," he said. "If a warning is received here, and sufficient warning time per mits, the siren will sound a stea dy tone lasting from three to five minutes. Upon hearing the alert, people should turn on their radios and set them at either of the two Conelrad Stations, 640 or 1240, to receive instructions from the Civil Defense director. "If there is not sufficient warn ing time, a "take over" signal will he sounded, consisting of a wailing lone, or series of short blasts, which will continue for about three minutes," he said further. a The Weyerhaeuser Timber Com pany mill whistle will also be a part of the warning system. iKn'i.mii.'i4i..w."ia.'w i.mn urai t 4 Radio Si cmce it t t y$ -leu i -1 iTa" i"l i rfe
