When inflations in force, investors feel that their money will grow in stocks. When a non-inflationary trend sets in they convert to bonds and savings deposits.

The Viet Cong guerrillas were reported to have lost 95 killed, 45 wounded and 34 captured. (AP Wirephoto by radio from Tokyo) NEW YORK (AP) The stock market has been battered by its worst loss since the crash year of 1929, The big question: Has it hit bottom? The markets long, sharp decline swelled to titanic proportions yesterday as trading rocketed to the highest level since Oct.

28, 1929 the day before climax of the crash. The plunge wiped out an estimated $19.5 billion from the quoted value of stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange, based on the fail of the Associated Press 60-stock average. This cut the total value to $301.5 billion from $388 billion at the end of 1961. Average Falls The AP average fell 13.40 to 211.20. The Dow Jones average plummeted 34.95 to 576.93.

These were the biggest tumbles taken by these averages since Oct. 28, 1929. Reject Appeal Of Eichmann Small Investor How He Fared NEW YORK (AP) How did the small investor prepare for the greatest daily stock market fall since 1929? He was just a shade brighter than usual, based on statistics of odd lot purchases and sales. An odd lot is a transaction of less than 100 shares on the New York Stock Exchange. The small-time investor or speculator buys in lots of 10, 20, 50, 60 shares, or so.

The big shot doesnt deign to deal in anything less than 100 shares of the usual stock. During the week preceding yesterdays huge decline, the odd lotter sold a total of 2,137,500 shares and bought 2,103,052. On Monday (May 21) and Tuesday he bought more than he sold. On Wednesday and Thursday he sold more than he bought. On Friday the session before the big blue Monday drop he reverted to buying more than he sold.

Purchases that day totaled 573,214 and sales 572,241. Statistics were not immediately available for his showing during yesterdays dizzy decline. Among his sales were 97,543 short sales. This refers to the method of borrowing stock to sell at current prices with the hope that the stock can be repaid in the future through buying an equivalent amount at lower prices thus making a profit. The small-timer sold -short 97,543 shares of the total 2,137,500.

With (he market declining every day of last week, these were his short sale totals: Tuesday, 15.956; Wednesday, Thursday, 23,776, and Friday, 24,780. So to make real hay out of the swift decline he was smartest on Wednesday when he did most of his short-selling. And he wasnt too much dumber on Thursday and Friday. Psychological Influence Is Cited in Zoning Issue JERUSALEM (AP) The Israeli Supreme Court rejected Adolf Eichmanns appeal today and left the former Gestapo officer only the slender chance of executive clemency to escape the gallows for his part in the Nazi massacre of millions of European Jews. The 56-year-old former chief of the Gestapos Jewish Affairs Section stared fixedly at the five Supreme Court judges as Associate Justice Simon Agranat began reading the judgment affirming without hesitation or reserve the death sentence imposed on Eichmann last December.

JUichmanns defense counsel, Dr. Robert Servatius, was expected to submit an appeal for clemency to Israeli President Iz-hak Ben-Zvi immediately. Justice ministry officials said a decision is not likely before mid-June. Execution Order A certificate rejecting clemency would constitute an execution order. Eichmann probably would American Telephone, the most actively traded issue on 282,000 shares, was particularly hard hit by margin calls.

A technicality allowed stockholders with rights to buy add.tion-al stock to carry the purchases on 25 per cent margin. What happened to bring on the stock price debacle while the economy is rolling along at a rapid pace? The market is unraveling the speculative excesses of the past three or four years when anticipations of values far exceeded the realization of earnings and sales growth," suggested the big brokerage firm, Bache Co. We cannot say that this will be the low because who knows where emotion goes, but on the figures, the statistics, the earnings, the dividends and the general healthy state of the U.S. economy, stocks are rapidly be- coming realistic." Others blamed the great rush whether or not Mr. Hoffman would be influenced by any in-1 terest, but the potential for psychological interest is present, and thus it becomes material.

I Mr. Berich quoted a state law which states that no member of a planning board can act on any matter in which he has a direct or indirect personal or financial interest. Apys Opposing Views Chester Apy, Red Bank attorney representing the builders of the proposed apartments, argued that there is no conflict of interest, because Mr. Hoffman is an employee of the borough, not of the mayor. Mr.

Apy also said state law requires that one of the Planning Board members must be one of the boroughs public officials. Mr Hoffman was appointed according to law, he said, and hence there is no conflict of interest. Citing a decision in the case of LaRue vs. East Brunswick, Mr. Apy said the court ruled that a conflict of interest in public office arises only when contradictory desires are present, tugging the official in opposite directions.

(See ZONING, Page 2) RED BANK A potential of psychological influences was given last night as a reason why a zoning classification in the Spring St. area should not be changed. 'Albert 1. Berich of the Wise, Wise and Wichmann law firm presented that argument to the Mayor and Council, which had called a special meeting solely to hear the opposing attorneys views. The fact that M.

Hoffman, building inspector and a voting member of the Planning Board, voted on the proposal raises a conflict of interest, he said, be For Car Washing Volume of 9.35 million shares swamped the high-speed ticker tape. The tape was one hour and 9 minutes late at the 3:30 p.m, close, the longest lag since the speedy tape system was installed in 1930. It finished reporting the last transaction at 6 p.m. The massive selling gnawed deeply into the prices of blue chip stocks the solid, high-priced issues considered the foundation of the market. International Business Machines slumped $37.50 to $361, Du Pont $12.50 to $202.50, American Telephone $11 to $100.62, and Standard Oil Co.

Integrity Not Involved Mr. Berich represents a number of Highland Ave.

residents who oppose a zoning change which would permit garden apartments on the east side of Spring St. The area is now zoned residential. Mayor Falvos property at 239 Spring St. is within the Mr. Berich stressed that Mr.

Hoffmans integrity is not involved. He said it is not material day or night, leaving meals and work, to put out fires, come to the rescue of folks flooded out of their homes in time of disaster, or to help police in their searches. We ask the public not to be misled by a few rabble rousers about a few cars being washed or no water meters in the fire houses. (There are no water meters in any of the fire houses.) Deny Other Rumors The department went on to deny what was termed several other erroneous rumors circulating in our town. Officials made these points: 1 The department is volunteer not paid.

2 The department supplied water to homes only during emergencies. 3 Union Beach has a very low fire insurance rate because we have one of the best if not the best fire department for its size in the county. 4 Firemen themselves purchased and own the fire trucks and the buildings which house them. 5 If residents do not donate enough during fund drives, taxes will increase because Borough Council will have to increase the fire departments budget. Mayor Opposes Use Of Police in Parade i -I ye1 I 4 4 1 fX 1 6 Police Appeal Verdict KEANSBURG Several mem bers of the police department have appealed to Superior Courts Appellate Division a court ruling upholding the boroughs ban on police moonlighting." George E.

Ostrov, borough attorney, said last night he is now preparing briefs in reply to the appeal. In June, Borough Council adopted an ordinance prohibiting policemen from holding outside jobs. Seven-Page Opinion In March, i Court Judge Gene R. Mariano, in a seven-page opinion, ruled that courts have previously upheld the right of municipalities to set up "reasonable regulations and discipline of members of a police department, including the right of their off duty hours. The policemen had claimed that the ordinance was arbitrary, discriminatory and illegal.

Oral Agreement They also claimed that policemen appointed between Nov. 6, 1946 and June, 1955, had an ora! agreement with borough officials that they could take outside jobs. Judge Mariano ruled that there is a complete lack of authority on the part of the municipality to enter into the alleged contract. The policemen who filed the original suit were Capts. Robert Kronenberger and Joseph Fucci and Patrolmen George W.

Preston. Frederick Loder, Frank J. Peters, James J. Beatty, Jack Keelen and Eugene Bennett. It is expected to be several months before the Appellate Di vision conducts a hearing on the appeal.

The modernistic auditorium in which Eichmann was tried last year by a special three-judge tribunal was again packed with spectators. Relatives of many of them were victims of the Nazi slaughter which befell the Jews. Eichmann again sat in the bulletproof glass cage as the judgment was read in Hebrew and translated into German, English and French.

Still wearing the dark suit and stiped tie he wore through his 4'i-month trial, Eichmann occasionally pressed his lips together and twitched his mouth as, one by one, every defense he put up to escape the gallows was rejected. The judgment began with a brief review of the 15-count indictment charging Eichmann with crimes against the Jews and against humanity. Then Mt (See APPEAL.

FAIR HAVEN A plan for the police department here to march in the Golden Jubilee parade Saturday, June 16, is causing some worry to Mayor Mil-ton Kosene. During last nights Borough Council meeting, the 50th anniversary of the boroughs first council meeting held in 1912, Mayor Kosene objected to a proposal that the police force march in the Jubilee parade.
