A • , Stock Market Skids As Earnings Reports Disappoint Traders By the Associated Press NEW YORK. July 27.—A buy ing lull, coupled with a weak tendency in steel and motors, to day sent the stock market gen erally lower. Losses extended among leaders to hearly $2 a share while scat tered gains were held usually under a dollar a share. Bethlehem Steel, following a disappointing earnings report, was at the bottom of the sag in that division. An exception was Follansbee Steel, moderately active and up a small amount. It reported first half earnings equal to $2.96 a share as compared with 84 cents a year ago. Detroit Disputes Continue. Motors were doubly hit by dis heartening news. General Motors reported a big earnings drop in the first half. At the same time the Government ordered another 5 per cent cut in steel for passen ger car production in the final quarter of this year. And labor disputes continued in Detroit in the Ford. Chrysler and Hudson plants where pro duction was impaired. The additional cut in steel for automobiles also was extended to makers of radios, refrigerators and other such durable appliances for civilian use. Such news was not offset by the decision of House and Senate committees to recommen^ major relaxations in consumer credit controls. Nickel Plate Starts $4 Higher.

July 27 fJP).—Wheat punched out gains ranging to around two cents at times on the Board of Trade today. Other cereals scored more modest advances In a generally active market. A good part of the buying In wheat at the start came from a large commission house. This could have represented some revival In flour business or the sale of some wheat to foreign countries over night, brokers said. It was not known immedi ately what was behind the buying. Alter the opening bulge the market settled down to a more sedate pace. Still, wheat held onto a good part of its early gains. Wheat near the end of the first hour was 1%-1% cents higher. September, 2.34%; corn was '/«-% higher. September. 1.72%. and oats were Va-% higher. Sep tember. 77. Soybeans were %-l% cents higher. September. 2.85%, and lard was 10 cents lower to 10 cents a hundred pounds higher. September. 10.17. Traders generally were expecting some pickup in domestic flour business. If only because it has been so dull over recent wppt; that a revival more or less has to develop. Reports from the Southwest said there was a little better lnaulrv for flour yesterday. Cash wheat receipts slumped a bit fur ther here today, totaling 100 cars. The detailed Kansas crop report noted that. In addition to the losses in grains caused by the floods, there also was an important loss In soil washed away bv the ram paging streams and rivers. Some more Canadian oats and rye ar rived here today. That brought the total receipt of oats to more than 0 mil lion bushels since the movement started this spring. There haven't been many; shipments of rye but these have been sicking up speed in the past few weeks. Official figures Place the acreage sown to all wheat in Canada this year at 25.731.300 acres compared with 27. 121,200 acres last year The crop last year was caught by an early frost.

Authorities were baffled today by the finding of the 43-year-old Jones in Denver, Colo As far as Louisiana officers were concerned Jones had been in his grave since a knife-slaying two years ago. They were equally puzzled as to the identity of the body resting in Sam Jones’ grave. These are the persons whom police plan to question: 1. Jones, known also as John C. Harper in Denver where he has spent most of his time since he was “murdered.” He has been a-'sted for investigation of mur der and will be questioned on his arrival today from Denver. 2. Donald Easterwood, a 26-year old GI student welder and father of four children, who was tried and acquitted on charges of mur dering Jones. Easterwood was ar ; rested last for investigation of murder. 3. Jones’ common law wife, Pa tricia Land, who identified the de composed body found in Jefferson Parish swamps as that of Jones. She admitted the slaying, repu diated her statement and testified in court she saw Easterwood kill Jones. Freed in Killing. Easterwood worked at a New Orleans filling station with Jones and came under suspicion after Jones disappeared and $96 was reported missing from a cash drawer.

A leading spot firm said it was thought that large cotton growers will refuse to sell unless spot prices are 1 to 2 cents a pound over loan values. The loan on the 1951 crop will be based on the mid July cotton parity to be announced this afternoon after the close of trading. A loan slightly under 32 cents a pound is anticipated.

Chief Deputy Sheriff John Faulkner of Jefferson Parish and another deputy went to Denver earlier this week to look for Jones. They were accompanied by a for mer friend of Jones, John C. Painter. Mr. Painter had a chance meeting with Jones several months ago in Denver. When Mr. Painter returned to New Orleans he told his story to the New Or leans States. The newspaper no tified the sheriff. Jones admitted taking the money from the gas station, but denied that he knew anything about a slaying. Mr. Faulkner said a murder charge will be filed against Jones, but the name of the victim will not be included in the charge. Hope for More Facts. “Jom i is beginning to g nerv ous,” Mr. Faulkner said in Denver. “He was calm when he was ar rested, but his manner is chang ing. I am confident he will give us considerable information by the time we land at New Orleans. There are indications ht will tell us what it’s all about.” he chief deputy said he has important information about the murder victim and he said he felt Jones “knows a great deal about it.” Trousers taken from the corpse bore laundry marks of an address where Jones formerly lived. Police are conducting a State vide search for Miss Land. Mat thews S. Braniff, assistant district attorney, said she will be charged with perjury when found. Dr. Kermit Brau, Jefferson Par ish coroner, said it may be nec essary to exhume the body of the man buried in Jones’ grave. "I want to talk to .Jones before I make any decision,” he said. _ U. 5. Skills, Machines To Aid Europe Output Under New ECA Plan By the Associated Press PARIS, July 27.—The Marshall Plan has begun an intense cam paign to raise Europe's productiv ity by a third—and make sure the benefits of such an increase filter down to the working man’s pay envelope. The key point in the new scheme is that American private enterprise will be put in direct touch with its European opposite number, with the approval of the governments involved, according to Economic Co-operation Admin istration chiefs here. Under the new, intensified pro ductivity campaign some American industries will virtually “adopt” industries in Europe whose output corresponds to theirs. This will mean an interchange of skills and machines on a greater-than-ever scale. In addition, the Marshall Plan missions are to see to it that bene fits of improved productivity re isult directly in higher wages for workers and lower prices for con sumers, according to Henry Park man. who is retiring next week as chief of the Marshall Plan mis sion to France. “Mr. Parkman told reporters that “all the planning for this new policy has been done in full co-operation with the govern ments.” He said it would involve an in tensification of the interchange of ! technical experts between the ini/i u kjiatco auu JDUiuptf, alia me supplying of equipment and financial aid from the United States to help European produc tivity. Mr. Parkman, a former briga dier general in the United States Army and one time United States representative on the Interna tional Ruhr Authority, said “the major part of the ECA program in Europe in the next year is to be to increase the value of industrial and agricultural production.” Mutual Bank Deposits Reach Record Total By th# Associated Press i NEW YORK. July 27.—Total deposits of the Nation’s 529 mu tual savings banks hit a record high of $20,397,000,000 on June 30. Carl G. Freese, president of the jNational Association of Mutual iSavings Banks, reported today. Mr. Freese, who also is presi dent and treasurer "of the Con necticut Savings Bank of New Ha ven. said deposits increased $372 billion, or 1.9 per cent, during the first half year.

Mr. Freese said the lesser gain in 1951 reflects a 1 per cent de cline in deposits and an 11 per cent increase in withdrawals, com pared with 1950. During June total deposits gain ed $163 million, well above the $133 million gain in June, 1950. Loans on Rea! Estate Favorable Rata* Sales, Rentals, Insurance GEORGE I.
