NEW YORK. June 6.—Bond prices
followed an uneven course in slow
dealings today.
With fractional gains and losses
close to a balance toward the close,
a few of the rails exhibited firmness.
Widely distributed estimates of
improved earnings prospects for the
railroads gave something of an op
timistic slant to the investment
outlook, although operators contin
ued to sit back waiting for definite
word as to the progress of the battle
in Northern Fiance.
Higher by fractions moved such
Issues as Great Northern "G" 4s of
’46. Pennsylvania general 4’2s of
’65, New York Central 5s. Nickel
Plate 4'2s, Lehigh Valley 412s of '40,
Commonwealth Edison convertible
3’2s, Bethlehem Steel 3’2s and
Third Avenue adjustment 5s of ’60.
Fractional losses were registered
for International Telephone 5s,
American & Foreign Power 5s and
Puerto Rican American Tobacco
(tamped 6s of '42.
United States Governments were
(teadv but only lightly traded.
Foreign government dollar loans
generally slipped, with Italian and
Argentine issues suffering the most.

Scotch Whisky Stocks
Reach High Levels
Fy the Associated Press.
Scotland passed along word today
that it had enough Scotch whisky in
warehouses to supply the world for
the next four years.
This news, relayed to the Com
merce Department, said that Scotch
whisky stocks were so large that de
spite higher production and ship
ping costs the export price of liquor
had not been increased.
The report also stated that Scot
land was amassing whisky partic
ularly for the American market,
because sales here provide the Brit
ish with dollar currency that can be
used to purchase airplanes and
other w'ar materials.
The war already has reduced new
production of Scotch whisky about
a third. But stocks of whisky al
ready in warehouses were estimated
at 133,000,000 imperial proof gallons.
Waste Paper Exports
Show Big Increase
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 6.—Sharply
: expanded export shipments of
cheaper grades of waste paper were
reported in metropolitan markets
this week.
The export price for No. 1 mixed
papers, dealers said, was now around
•10 a ton, compared with *8.50 for!
the same grade for domestic use.
Waste paper is converted by pro
cessors into pulp again, and pulp Is
an important ingredient in the
manufacture of explosives. Many
waste paper cargoes are reported
I clearing on American vessels for
Spain, presumably for trans-ship
ment to Great Britain. Finland
and Norway, now under German
rule, formerly were large suppliers
of paper pulp to Britain.

Chrysler Corp. Opens
New Engineering and
Research Buildings
Tour of New Units
Coincides With 15th
Anniversary
By DAVID J. WILKIE,
Assoctitfd Press Business Writer.
DETROIT, June 6.-r-The thousand
and-one factors that go into the
designing and production of a motor
vehicle were demonstrated striking*
ly for a group of automotive and
science writers today as Chrysler
Corp. opened two new engineering
and research buildings at its home"
plant. t
The formal opening of the two
new units was timed to coincide
with the 15th anniversary of the
founding of the corporation. De- >
signed to enable the corporation's
research workers to utilize almost
“every means known to science.'' in
determining the construction of the
car of today and tomorrow, the new
facilities give these workers 162.000
square feet of floor space with 94
laboratories, offices and testrooms.
Asserting that Chrysler Corp. has
spent more than $57,000,000 in engi
neering and product development in
the past 15 years, Fred M. Zeder,
vice chairman of the board of the
corporation in charge of all its
engineering, said the new units,
while providing for practically every
conceivable scientific use, would be
followed by others.
Beauty Utilized.
The new laboratories are of un
usual beauty and refinement, of
which "cool red-tiled floors and
restful biege walls * * * Venetian
blinds and black-and-white ceramic
work benches" are noteworthy ex
amples.
This phase of the undertaking is
part of the plan and purpose of the
engineers who designed the new
structures.
"Science,” said Zeder, “has often
come out of the attic, just as the
automobile has come from the car
riage shop or bicycle builder and
moved into inadequate quarters
with makeshift tools. And science,
guarded by a jealous hierarchy, has
often functioned behind closed doors
in secretive obscurity. But these
conditions are not essentials to the
success of engineering research as
a co-operative effort. On the con
trary, by ‘bringing science out in
the open' with the most advanced
equipment, the most impeccable
neatness, the most ordered routine,
may be released the best creative
energies of the men who use them,
provided those men are imbued with
the essential ‘enthusiastic curiosity’
that fires the true researcher in
any field.”
Many Facilities Available.
A few of the facilities available
in the new laboratories are the X
ray tube to study atomic structure
of metals; the spectroscope to as
certain the elements of which an
experimental part is composed;
polarized light to study stresses in
working parts of the automobiles;
electrophysical apparatus to pro
duce voltages up to 500,000 or radio
frequencies beyond normal broad- .
cast bands for the most exacting
electrical experimentation: cork
suspended rooms for absolutely vi-‘
brationless weighing; cathode tubes
to measure the most complicated
or simple vibration; photomicrog
raphy to make possible photography
through a microscope with magnifi
cation up to 5,000 times the original:
a wind tunnel for aerodynamics re
search; cold rooms for experimenta
tion in temperatures as low as 60
degrees below zero Fehrenheit and
a dynamometer building where va
rious types of engines can be made
to strain against dynamometers to
determine, among other things, just
what power they will develop under
specific conditions.
