Stocks turned lower after a hesitant start today as grains and cotton moved forward. The market opened with prices little changed but turned down when professionals and individual investors alike showed indifference. There was nothing new in the day's news to prompt activity on either side of the market. Grains in Chicago, however, moved sharply on resumption of trade buying. Gains ranged to more than 3 cents a bushel in wheat and corn and oats moved up more than 2 cents, Cotton, up more than $1 a bale at the opening, held well around its initial levels.

Demand for cotton and grains reflected trade belief that selling had been overdone on President Truman's request to lower prices to combat inflation, First reaction to the President's statement earlier in the week was a rush to sell on the theory that Government purchases for overseas shipment now would be curtailed. But second thought showed it would not be so easy to shut off or cut relief exports. Although leaders generally were lower, there were a few individual strong spots, including Atlantic, Gulf's West Indies preferred, up points to new high at 77; International Harvester preferred, JohnsManville and Barber Asphalt, all up a point each. Patino Mines, fractionally higher yesterday when. it was announced the U.

S. had raised its tin purchase price, rose today to and another new high, Rails were down fractionaly. Wheeling Steel gained nearly a point in an otherwise lower steel group. Motors were soft. American Telephone was down a small fraction.

Corn--May July 1.76¾; September December $1.52.

The Supreme Commander's newest move in his campaign to get Japanese economy under control came in a letter asking the FourPower Council to take up at its meeting next Wednesday the problem of stabilizing the wage-price relationship.

He sent the council a memorandum by Maj. Gen. Paul A. Mueller, his chief of staff, describing the situation. Price indexes prepared by the Japanese, which Mueller termed reliable, showed that wholesale prices have increased 21 times over 1943 levels, retail prices were up 28 times but the average factory wages had increased only 16 times.

52 Violations Reported By U. S. Mine Inspector By United Press WASHINGTON, March 29. A Federal inspector reported today that he found 52 safety violations in the Centralia, coal mine a week before the explosion which claimed 111 lives. The report was made by Frank Perz, inspector for the Bureau of Mines, who made an inspection tour of the Centralia mine during the week of March 17-20.

In a previous inspection of the same mine last November, Perz found 165 violations of Federal and state safety codes. At neither time did he find that the mine was in imminent danger. Today's report, however, said that many of the violations reported on November 4 had not been corrected. Runaway Ship Rams Philadelphia Bridge International News Service PHILADELPHIA, March 29.

Planning Urged For Home Sites A long-range program for uniform restrictions and comprehensive planning of a suburban residential district east of Harrisburg will be recommended soon to a committee of land-owners, civic leaders, architects and residents of that area. A permanent committee to discuss such a program was organized Thursday at a meeting in the Lower Paxton Township Consolidated School. Vernon M. Wood, realty broker and developer, was chosen chairman. Mrs.

John L. Garland was made secretary. Other members are Clayton J. Lappley, John T. Bonitz, Park C.

Sheesley, George Rothman, Ehrman B. Mitchell and Hyles Hagy. Much of the discussion at the meeting was devoted to restrictions covering most developments and vacant land in the territory likely to be developed into homesites within the next 10 years or so, Wood said. Emphasis also was laid upon beautification, planning, wide streets and highways, and tree-planting. Wood presented a resume of his observations in planning.

During an open forum, Lappley related plans for laying out his farm along the Devonshire road. He expressed the opinion that a suburban homesite should contain at least one-half acre, adding that the plot should be larger in frontage than depth. He contended a plot 150 feet square is ideal for the average single home. Lappley also said he had provided a sevenacre plot in his development for recreational use by children.

Formerly with Hoover Fur. Co. Ph. 6-6822 or 2-2910. FRANK UPHOLSTERING CO away all of his spades and one diamond to hold the heart suit intact.

The diamond finesse lost and heart lead by West was fatal to the declarer. Admittedly, North had reason to feel that his partner could make 2 three no trump after he had responded with two no trump to the original club bid. This, however, wos only a cursory view. South had passed originally, hence his jump to two no trump meant no more than that he was trying to show that his hand was very good for a passed hand. North might well have reasoned that any normal holding in the South hand that would produce three no trump safely would, at the same time, produce an excellent play for game in the club suit.

Shifting to the South it is obvious enough that Southing might have bid one spade instead of jumping in no trump. A player who has passed with such a hand, however, it always tempted, and quite naturally so, to make a bid that will be more encouraging than a mere one-over one. South's hand was absolutely balanced in distribution; it was North who had a pattern that so strongly favored a suit contract, even though it was a minor suit.
