Merrier same day at 2 p. m. at Peter Memorial Presbyterian Church, 8llney and HiaJ- An urgent need of men' for training in the United States Maritime Service was announced today by the local office of the War Shipping Administration upon receipt of a telegram from "Washington calling on all Merchant Marine seamen and officers to A NORWICH PRODUCT AT Alt DRUG EASY PRICE TENDENCY NEW YORK, June 8 (AP). Despite feverish activity in motors and automotive accessories, a number of which touched peaks for the year or longer before meeting sales resistance, numer stock market leaders today operated in losing territory. Issues of companies with good peace prospects continued to attract investment demand on the idea the invasion would be successful and that a conclusion of tht European conflict might come sooner than expected.

Some customers stood aside and accounts were trimmed elsewhere, however, to await more definite news from the fighting fronts. Specialties such as Packard turned over in blocks running to 12,000 shares before midday. Rails were heavy. The pace slowed eventually and fractional declines were in the majority near the close. Transfers were 861,860 shares compared with 856,500 shares yesterday.

The market was smaller than yesterday's. Of the 838 issues traded in today, 349 were lower, 274 higher and 215 unchanged. Forty-eight made new 1944 highs and seven new, 1944 lows. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks closed at 52.7, down .3 of a point. How Stocks Moved.

At 1944 high some eventually wavered were Packard, Willys-Overland, Twin Coach, Murray Corporation, Evans Products, Corn Spiegel and Gillette Safety. Mines revived in the final hour with Homestake and Howe Sound jumping a point or so. Backward were Union Pacific, Atlantic Coast Line, Santa Fe, Great Northern, Dow Chemical, Johns-Manville, Montgomery Ward, Boeing, Chrysler and S. Rubber. Trsnd on th Curb.

The thought, too, was expressed that, while the rails are considered at least partially In the war-benefitted class, their equities never climbed on an earnings ratio basis.

In the slowest, trade in many weeks grain futures held about steady for a time today, supported short covering and a scarcity of offerings following a short -lived flurry of commission house selling at the opening.

Traders showed an Inclination to await further war developments and additional crop news. Hye rallied at one time reflecting higher prices at Winnipeg and Minneapolis and rather persistent commission house buying of the July, but the trade wrs light. Wheat closed Vi-e lower than yesterday; oats were unchanged to lower rye was -lo lower; barley was unchanged to lower. Sixty-five cars of new crop wheat were offered in the Fort Worth, Texas market yesterday and sold at prices altout 7 cents under the celling. The trade was cautious but as yet movement of the new crop was not including much pressure.

Mumper yields are expected In southwestern territory and the crop report, to be Issued tomorrow, was expected to predict large harvests of all small grains. Winter wheat so fsr harvested, commission houses said, was of the best duality ever known, an unfailing indication the yield would be large. Announcement that the War Production Board would permit the use of soft red winter wheat for Industrial alcohgl production causer! some concern. For the past two yea-, trade sources asserted, there have been poor crops of soft winter wheat and If large amounts are used by distillers some dislocation in supplies may result. The Chicago corn-hog ratio for the week ended June 3 was reported 11.2 compared with 11.1 the previous week and 13.5 a year ago.

Pa. Off. mti )) TELEPHONE COMPANY Commercial Rates Will Be Cheaper, Douglas Aircraft Man Tells Bankers. Commercls' airplanes in the postwar world, while they are not likely to be the fanciful creations imagined by some enthusiasts, will he somewhat faster, more comfortable, with longer flying ranges and considerably cheaper rates thu. at present, Geoffrey F.

Morgan of the Douglas Aircraft Corporation told members of the American Institute of Banking today at Hotel Statler. Morgan, speaking before the 450 delegates who adjourned their two-day session at noon, said that private planes would likely not approach the automobile in use anytime soon. He estimated that by 1950 the ratio of automobiles to private planes would be perhaps 50 to 1. To Weigh About 150,000 Founds. Douglas Aircraft engineers, he said, believe the commercial plane of 1950 will weigh about 150,000 pounds; have four engines; carry 75 to 100 passengers "and 10 tons of cargo, and cruise at about 250 miles an hour, flying at some 20," feet.

Present transport planes of standard design carry 21 passengers and cruise at something under 200 miles an hour. He predicted postwar rates would drop from the present 5 cents a mile for passengers to about 3 cents, and quoted an aviation authority who estimated the present charge of 70 to 80 cents a ton mile for freight would go down to about 18 cents. Morgan predicted that all first class mail going any distance would travel by air, as well as emergency repnlr parts for machinery, perishable foods, fruits and flowers and light valuable types of cargo. He said this was likely to take place shortly after the war. He said It seemed reasonable to believe foreign travel would increase 10 or 12 times over the prewar level because air travel would enable persons with relatively short vacations to travel abroad by flying.

Institute Names President. The institute, known as the educational branch of the American Bankers' Association, adjourned after electing as its new president William C. Way, trust officer of the Central National Bank of Cleveland, who succeeds David L. Colby of the Boatmen's National Bank, St. Louis.

David T. Scott, assistant cashier of the First National Bank of Boston, was elected vice-president, and. the following were named new members of the executive council: Edward C. Boyer, New Orleans; Howard R. Chamberlain, Rochester, N.

W. Howard Mar-tie, Pittsburgh, and Herbert E. Widenhofer, Fort Wayne, Ind. GERALD L. K.

SMITH GIVES THIRD CAMPAIGN TALK HERE Gerald I K. Smith, self-styled "rabble rouser of the right" and founder of the "America First party," delivered a campaign address in the Opera House of Kiel Auditorium last night, proposing himself as a 1948 presidential candidate on a platform of "broad nationalism" and asserting the administration would use the invasion as an excuse to call off the November election. Smith, making his third appearance in St. Louis, said that United States Senator Robert R. Reynolds of North Carolina would address a meeting here with him within a few months.

He predicted that a "dark horse" would capture the Republican presidential nomination. Asserting that every man should have a chance to become a millionaire. Smith, former organizer of the Share Our Wealth clubs of the late Huey Long, told about 1200 persons that every service man should receive $1000 when mustered out; that farmers should get bonuses for production, and that private enterprise should be stimulated by outlawing monopoly and eliminating "bureaucratic interference" with business.

Gowramimt food officials and rprsentatir of cattle producers conferred today on proposed rerisions In beef cattle celling prices designed to encouraRe early marketings from crowded western ranges. Besides the CPA, the War Food Administration and, the Office of Economic Stabilization participated in the cloned conference. Suggested by the Office of Price Administration, the changes Include: 1 An Increase of 50 cents per hundred pounds in tha current rollbark auhstdy rate on all cUhhcs of cattle.

Mates now range from 50 cents to $1.45. (2) A reduction, effect! Sept. 4, of 50 cents per hundred pounds In the maximum price for lower grades of beef cattle. OPA sponsors say these changes an Increase In the subsidy for the immediate future coupled with a reduction to be made later in pricea would provide an early marketing incentive. Officials have warned that unless there are heavy marketings this summer, professors will be unahle to handle the flood of cattle which otherwise could be expected next fall.

The suggested changes are being opposed by rnONt cattlmnen. THey are asking that prices of lower and medium grades be kept at present levels, but that prices of top grade be increased SI a hundred to encourage movement of surplus cattle off ranges to mldwestern feed lots. The cattlemen contend price regulations have narrowed the spread between range cattle and finished cattle to a point that makes corn-belt feeding unprofitable. REPORTS BY CORPORATIONS NEW TORK.
