PHONE vorn WANT 3100 Market News Downward Drift Continues For Leading Stocks New York, Nov. downward drift continued for most leading stock in today's market although offerings never were oppressive. Professionals again cashed in on the idea that the list had enjoyed a normal technical recovery and was more or less vulnerable. Accounts were trimmed here and there by those who were skeptical regarding foreign affairs, particularly political unsettlement in France and Italy.

Selling for income tax purposes persister as a brake. Good dividends still were pretty well ignored. Business optimism inspired a certain amount of bidding. Dealings slowed efter a fairly active start but fractional declines predominated near the final hour. Among isolated strong spots were Western Maryland Railway common and second preferred.

Occasional improvement was recorded for American Smelling. Cerro de Pasco. Dow Chemical, Santa Pe and Southern Pacific. Bonds and cotton futures were a shade uneven.

Nov. last minute change of not her the travels yesterday of a pretty, 28-yenr-old German war widow, en route from her native Bavaria to Chicago and a reunion with one of her two sweethearts. Immigration officials said they took blonde Marielle Strauss into custody after she alighted from a plane at LaGuardia field early yesterday and told them she wished to go to Chicago to join Fred Lutz, 39- year-old baker, instead of to Strong City, where her coming was awaited anxiously by Charles Shu- baker, 40-year-old railroader. The visa gave her destination ns Strong City. Immigration officers said her case would be put before a special board of inquiry at Ellis island to determine whether she would be permitted to remain in this country.

Until recently, Marielle was bethrothed to Shumaker but her last letter indicated that her affections had shifted to Lutz, a fellow Bavarian who came to the United States when he wns 20.

And I don't mean hot words. Some of the experts pussyfooted back to town, just in case; the senate war investigating committee considered a case of illicit love, the capital police department started arresting Santa Clauses wholesale, and Sen.

Slops Spud Buying The agriculture department, which bought up 100,000,000 bushels of potatoes during the last two years, culled off its spud purchasing because the price of snme was high enough now to suit everybody except the ultimate consumer. The house postofflce committee was considering slight inflation in the price of postage stamps. It was one of those weeks, all right, and now let's consider those brickbats. President Truman got one, but he didn't, mention it. All he said was that he'd hired a new veterans administrator and thnt next Thursday would be Thanksgiving.

His brickbat he-ignored. I never would have known about it. if William Mattox of Sacramento, president of the Landlords of America, sent me one, too. To the president, the senate, the house of representatives, the housing expediter and to me came individually-wrapped pieces of brick. Mattox wrote that the Landlords of America were being forced out of business by higher taxes, costlier coal, and continued rent control.

Small Starter "Hence the small landlord is mailing you all, piece by piece, our rental housing. Enclosed herein is one bick for starter." I don't know about the president, whose house at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue seems at long last, to be in tip-top condition, but I appreciate my first free brick. I can use It and any other building material the Landlords of America care to send along. You got any spare cook- stoves, hey, Mr. Mattox? The local Santa Clauses are being hauled to the clink for waylaying moppets on the streets and persuading their mothers to have their pictures taken with old Kris Krln- gle.

Soupfin Shark Still In Soup With War Over AP Newsfeaturps Sacramento, Nov. the soupfin shark, World War II ended officially on Sept. 19. did it? Anyway, things should be easier for him in the shallow waters nlong the California const where he has been having more and more trouble growing up.

It's like this. A soupfin shark has two big worries about people: (n) Thnt they'll catch him for his fins, which contain gelatine prized by Chinese for making soup. (b) That they'll get him for his liver, rich in vitamin A. During World War II there wns such a demand for this vitamin (for better vision) that mature sharks brought up to $50. Even Immature sharks were caught, despite studios showing that livers from young sharks were so low In vitamin content ns to be not worth taking.

Anyway, the state bureau of fisheries figured the species wns menaced, and got the legislature to pass law making It Illegal to take soup- fin sharks in less than feet of water. That went into effect Sept. end of war. In deep water, however, a soup- fin shark still is fair game. Inventors Compete With Can Openers New one-time supremacy of the old-fashioned can opener, which requires wrist action to cut around the top edge of a can, is being challenged by Inventive Americans who have put on the market no less than 22 distinct, newer types, according to a nationwide survey made for American Can company.

The survey showed that 996 households per thousand possess at least one opener. lie meant by the word "secret." If he meant only that the fundamental physics of the bomb is known to all nations, he, wasn't dishing out anything new. The fact of nuclear Is, that urnnlum-235 nurlet split into almost oqunl parts after bom- bnrdmont with discovered in 1938. Then, right, after Hiroshima, the famed Smyth report disclosed many of the results thnt had accumulated during the wartime hush-hush. If Molotov meant thnt some nation or notions other than the United States nctunlly knew how to make the actual ingredients of an A-bomb, assemble It nnd cnuse It to explode and had actually done nil these something else.

These Facts Already Published Lot's sec what nctunlly has been published about the bomb. It Is known that; 1. Nuclear fission exists. 2. Energy is released In the process ot fission.

3. When an atomic nucleus "splits," more than one neutron is omitted in the process and thus a "chain reaction" can be set up. 4. A chain reaction can be produced not only In uranlum-234, but In the new element "plutonium." 5. In order to make chain reaction "go," you must have a sufficient amount of fissionable material so-called "critical mass." 6.

If you assemble- an amount of material exceeding this critical mass, you can have one of two things. If you make your system only slightly "over-critical," you get a "controlled" such ns takes plnce in the chain- reacting "ovens" or piles where Plutonium is made from uranium, If you mnke your system strongly bring together amounts of fissionable material that exceeds the critical mass get an atomic explosion. What hns not been published? Vital Information Not Released 1. No information has been released on what makes a "critical moss" for either a uranium or plu- tonlurn bomb or on how to bring sub-critical amounts of the material together within the bomb. 2.

Neither have exact details on various technical processes Involved In making' the wherewithal for a bomb oj- a bomb Itself. 3. Nbr has the low-down been given on such things ns remote- control devices used In the "pile 1 production of plutonium. 4. Nothing hiis been said about other materials, In addition to fissionable material, thnt go Into making a bomb.

Does Russia or some other try know those elements of the atom bomb Molotov didn't sny. If so. rloos Russia or some country have the industrial ability to build and operate the necessary factories? A group of Los Alamos scientists In their publication "Our Atomic World," had this to say a good year ago: The U.S.S.R. has the raw materials, the -scientists and the industrial potential to mnke atomic bombs. The United States required four years of determined effort to apply the fundamental science and produce the bombs.

"On the other hand, time would tend to be greater because industrial strength is so much "It Is reasonable to expect that iome other country willing to mnke a major effort will produce atomic bombs within live years."
