The list slipped' through a.

slim groove from the start and, at the close of the' brief proceedings, ad vances and declines were pretty evenly, Tax selling in low-prices stocks continued as the main prop for vol- um and transfers for the two hours were "around 600,000 shares, about the same as the preceding Satur day. As in the past ragged trend shifts were -blamed mainly on war -news from the Far East, with' the changeover to war economy at home also seen as a factor. Many speculative contingents stood aside as- bulletins told of the likelihood that Hongkong would fall or had fallen to the' Japanese in vaders, heavy battling the Philip pines and further difficulties of British forces in Malaya. Even the more hopeful dispatches from Rus sia and Africa revealing additional Nazi reverses failed -to bolster sen. timent to any important -extent.

Bidding here and there was attributed to the idea that the mar ket had been "sold out" and had a good chance for a comeback in the event of better international devel opments. Many issues, however, went into new low ground for three years or longer. Weather l. 8. Weather Burea Fair with temperature near or slightly below freezing to night.

Thurs day noon, today had made rapid acuances toward enacting into law measures included in Governor Green's 16 million dollar state de fense program. Two of the bills which the Gov.

ernor outlined in his message won approval of the Senate in a brief after-midnight session today and were sent to the House where they were advanced to the amendment stage and their passage was expected by Tuesday. The measures which the Senate passed by identical votes of 46 to 0 wert for the appropriation of five minion aouars to the strengthening of the Illinois reserve militia and an added aDDroDriation of S750.000 for the State Council of ueiense to effect the complete civilian mobilization of the state in coordination with the national de- lense program. Both the House anr! Rn(o ro- cessed until Monday after their post-midnight sessions. The early morning meetings were decided upon after part of the Governor's aeiense program encountered opposition yesterday as Democrats challenged proposals to increase me state police strength from 350 to 1.000 men and Questioner! the ne cessity of establishing a three million dollar emergency contingent fund to be controlled by the Governor. The reserve militia measure was sponsored by Senators T.

Mac Downing fR-Macomb) and Everett R. Peters tR-Chamnaiirn st-hilo the bill for the added appropriation for the defense council was au thored by Arnold P. Benson, the majority leader from Batavaia. Expectations were that thi million dollar reserve militia would reach a final passage vote in the House next Tuesdav. thus makintr the fund immediately available to carry out Governor Green's plan to bring the militia to its full author ized strength of 10,000 men.

The present militia manpower is 5.200. Adjutant General Leo M. Boyle estimated the five million dollars would be sufficient to keep a full force of 10.000 officers and enlisted men in the field on active duty for two months, should it ever become necessarv. At present, about 400 of the reserves are on active duty guarding strategic Mississippi river bridges and four of the rjrincirjal Illinois airports. The militia appropriation provides S3.

356.022 for active dntv nav for miltiamen (but not for drill pay); $1,374,645 for ordnance and equipment: $35,000 for medical supplies; $75,000 for transportation of troops and $105,132 for administrative expenses. A move in the Senate yesterday to boost the fund by about to provide drill pay for the militiamen was defeated by the Republican Administration forces. The militiamen are paid onlv when on active duty at the base rate of $4 a day. The $750,000 appropriation to the Council of Defense, of which Governor Green is chairman, is in addition to a $50,000 fund voted to the council at the regular session oi the General Assembly early this year. The council asked for the new appropriation to greatly expand its activities in the fields of civilian protection, morale aid to small in dustries and public health.
