P -The stock market drifted on an almost even keel today. The list remained extremely sluggish, but rails showed a little firmness as the session wore on. and a somewhat easy tendency noted elsewhere in the list was soon overcome. Norfolk and Western rose 1 1-2 points in a small turnover, and Delaware and Hudson and Cana dian Pacific, about a point. Union Pacific, off a little at the start, recovered. U. S. Steel common was steady, and the preferred, u.j r» fraction. American Telephone, off j a major fraction in the early deal lings, erased its loss before mid day. The formation of a Hitler cabi net in Germany temporarily de pressed Reich bonds, and may have been a factor in the easy tone of the markets generally at the start. The approach of U.

(adr.) ‘GO-BETWEENS’ PUT IN JAIL NEW YORK, Jan 30 —Pj- li1 was a little nara to figure toduy whether the police did Salvattc* 1 Spitale and Irving Buz a lavor by locking them up on a charge oi , homicide. Saturday night some anonymous person called a police station say- 1 u:g that if authorities wanted w prevent a "coupla guys" from get ting -bumped off* they should lose no time in gettmg to the Red Devil restaurant. The police lost no time. At a la- ! ble in the restaurant, sat the two "square shooting guys from the underworld'’ who rose from ob scurity to headlines when they were commissioned to try to get the Lindbergh baby back. They were playing penny ante, and Bitz was bemoaning the loss j of $180. Somewhat puzzled, the police decided to search them. The, found a pistol an each and charged 1 them with violating the anti firearms law. although Spitale showed what he said was a per- | fcctly good permit. Then looking over the list of unsolved homicides detectives de cided to charge them with one. They were accused of the slaying 01 Antonio Pentiano outside a raft* last August. So there was solid masonry to day between the tws gangsters and their enemies. Detectives weren't sure, however, whether the arrest really forestalled a killing or wheth er some one with a distaste for Spitale and Bits decided to get the police to annoy them. newTrocess AIDS CITRUS A new industry' for Brownsville is indicated in the Brantex system of fruit treatment, patent for ! which has been asked by Russell W. Brandt, young Brownsville or ganic chemist and engineer. The process has been in use on a small scale for a year, and haa proved eminently satisfactory, the inventor states. It consists in rurmmg the fruit through a solution of waxes held in suspension in water. Its advantages over other sys terns of fruit treating, claimed b\ the inventor, are that no brushing is necessary, that It preserves the fruit for a long neriod and that it adds greatly to its appearance. Brandt came to Brownsville sev eral years ago from the North, where he was an experimental chemist. He worked on this process for many months, and finally per fected it. building a.small plant a. his home here, operated under the name of the Russell W. Brandt Lab:ratories. Plans are now in progress to carry out a more general use ot the treatment next season, with favorable reoorts on it from severa large shipping concerns in the Valley. Brandt explains that no ruboim or polishing is necessary on fruit treated bv his process It comes out of the solution onto a moving rack which keens it rolling to assure an even distribution of the thl?, layer of wax material as it dries The wax seals in the fruit to the proner extent to retard decay and add to its aopearancr. • Tests of fruit treated in this manner and that untreated show more than double the keeping qualities.
