PAGE 12 SANDUSKY REGISTER JAN mi Bliss Gets Support For GOP Chairman Post WASHINGTON (UPI)-Ohio Republican Chairman Ray Bliss is receiving "important" support For national GOP chairman, according to Rep. Clarence J. Brown, Manchester, dean of the Ohio GOP congressional delegation. Brown, National Committee member as is Bliss, said Wednesday he had received telephone cails and letters from all sections of the country and from all levels of the party asking whether Bliss was available. "There was a sufficient number to be quite important," Brown said.

Brown said he discussed the chairmanship after Bliss addressed the Ohio Republican congressional delegation in a closed meeting. Bliss, who attended the news conference, said he would support the present GOP chairman, Sen. Thurston B. Morton, as long as he wanted to remain in the job. Morton has indicated he plans to step down.

When asked about his availability for the job, Bliss said: "It seems to me to be pre sumptive to get into the thing as long as Thruston Morton is chair man. I feel he did a first class job in the campaign and as long as he wants to remain there, I'm for him." "I've said I'll support Ray Bliss for the chairmanship if he agrees to be a candidate," Brown said. Bliss, as Ohio GOP chairman, led the Republicans to a vote plurality victory in the Ohio presidential race Nov. 8. Ohio Republicans also picked up two House seats to lengthen the GOP majority in the state delegation to a lop-sided 16-6 margin.

(UPI) Mem bers of the Conyers Methodist Church are receiving green or yellow "trading" stamps for each attendance.

After Easter, those with the most stamps will be given a picnic outing at Warm Springs, Ga. NEW YORK (UPI) -The real strength in the stock market still appears to center in the relatively small number of non-or anti- cyclical groups that might expect to weather a general business de cline without disruption of rising earnings trends, according to Winslow, Cohu Stetson. Food, tobacco, natural gas and finance companies seem to bel the main bastion of this strength, the firm says, along with several coal companies (like Peabody) and, of course, American Tel Tel. These issues, plus government bonds, seem to be the main beneficiaries of conservative investment programs and their continuing strength does not bode particularly well for the rest of the stock market or the business outlook, notes. Walter Gutman's "Stock of the Month," listed in Investor Magazine, is Air Products.

"I can see people doubling their money in two years in this stock," the Stearns Co. analyst says.

Financial Gossip How Did Other Mart Statistics Fare? By HENRY J. BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor NEW YORK (UPI) -We all know 1960 was a fizzle as far as stock prices go. But how did the other market statistics fare? The New York Stock Exchange answers this question in an eight- page statistical summary which covers everything from sales to short interest to number of trading days.

In case anyone is interested there were 252 trading days in 1960, one less than the year before. And on one of those days, Dec. 12, the opening was delayed one hour because of a severe snow storm in New York the first such delay since Feb. 20, 1934. While the number of issues listed on the "Big Board" rose from 1,507 on Jan.

1 to 1,525 on Dec. 1, and the number of shares from 5,847,269,552 to 6,397,888,001, the market value of the total listings fell from $307,707,698,158 at the start of the year to $292,991,130,927 at the beginning of December. Price Dropped The average market price of all listed shares dropped from $52.62 to $45.79 in the 11-month span, the summary showed. The low for the year, however, was $44.07 reached on Nov. 1.

Stock volume for the year amounted to 766,693,818 shares or an average of 3,042,436 shares per day, compared with 820,296,279 shares or a daily average of 3,242,278 shares in 1959. The record for any one year still is held by 1929 when a whopping 1,124,800, 410 shares changed hands. December, thanks to the busiest final trading session of the year on record, was the most active month with volume of 77,354,585 shares, and July was the quietest with 53,870,465 shares. The largest daily volume was registered on Dec. the smallest on Oct.

shares. Members Holding There were 71 exchange memberships transferred last year with the highest sale being made at $162,000 and the lowest at $135,000. In 1959 there were 83 seat sales and the highest price was $157,000, the lowest $110,000. The number of member organizations of the exchange rose from 661 at the start of the year to 669 on Dec. 1, and their branch offices jumped from 2,275 to 2,483.

Short interest in stocks traded on the exchange was at its low point of 2,750,844 shares on Jan. 15 and at its high point of 4,398,150 shares on Dec. 15. Short interest occurs when borrowed stock is sold with the hope of replacing it later at a lower price. Wall Streeters view the high short position as of mid-Decem- er as a bullish market factor since this stock will have to be bought sooner or later.

Ashbrook Arraigned In Killing LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI)-By- rort Ashbrook, 37, was to be arraigned in court today on a charge of murdering his wife of less than five months. Ashbrook, member of a wealthy Ohio family who gave up his job as a bank director to marry his wife Betty, 36, last August, has told police he had a "good reason" to commit the Christmas day strangulation but has refused to give details. Attorney Harry Clairbome said he planned to seek a preliminary hearing for Ashbrook. Attorney Irvin Dymond of New Orleans, will assist in the defendant's defense.

2 after he was divorced from his wife July 29. His former wife was granted custody of their five children.
