Tnstallation of additional dial equip- | ment and associated apparatus in the District, Metrepolitan and National central offices to provide service for| 1.800 new telephone lines is included in the appropriation of $219.770 author- ized by the board of directors of the Chesapeake & Po- mac_Telephone Co. at its regular monthly meeting held today This appropria- | tion brings the total amount au- thorized for addi- | tions and bett ments to the tele- phone system in Washington so far ! this year to $3.-] 448,115, according %0 John A.

Jones, vice president of the | Equitable Life Assurance Society of New York, will address a joint dinner meeting of the District Life writers Association and the, Fid Section of the District Bankers clation, at the Willard Hotel, Saturd | December 5. Mr. Jones has enj s brilliant life insurance career during the past 28 years. Previously he served two terms as state superintendent of public instruction in Indiana and de- clined a coll?e presidency to enter the insurance field. He was one of the prime movers in the plans for the American College of Life Underwriters, He was president of the National Association of Life Under- Frank L. Jones. writers in 1925-1926. For two years he has been chairman of the executive board of the Life Insurance Sales Re- search Bureau of Hartford, Conn. In October of this year, at the meet- in Chicago of the Association of Life Agency Officers, he, as chairman of a special committee appointed by that association, made a report on plans to prevent “twisting.” The report included s plan to prevent this evil. The plan has been accepted and signed by a sub- stantial number of leading companies. Additional’ acceptances are being re- eeived. Bankers Honor Late Executives. At a special meeting of the District Bankers’ Association, held late yester- day with C. H. Pope presiding, resolu- tions were adopted on the deaths of John B. Larner, Joseph Schiavone and Edward J. McQuade. The Larner resolutjons were pre- pared by Corcoran Thom, Harry G. Meem and John Poole. “As a banker. Mr. Larner was broad-minded, forceful and courageous and followed the fundamental rules of safe banking,” the tribute sald. “He was of a public- spirited nature and few men have given to their city as much of their time and energy as did Mr. Larner. He carried into his private life the same high prin- ciples which actuated all his move- ments in professional, business- and civic career.” ‘The M e resolutions were pre- pared by Thomas W. Littlepage, M. F. Calnan and Howard Moran. At one point the resolutions said: “He was un- usually thorough in all of his work, and his knowledge of banking details, legal ‘matters, general affairs and policies was often a source of wonder to those most intimately -associated with him.” The Schiavone resolutions drafted by H. L. Offutt, jr.. George O. Vass and ¥. P. H. Siddons, expressed the deep regret of every member of the associa- tion in the passing of an esteemed friend and extended sympathy to his family and his bank associates. Placed on I. B. A. Committee. Carl R. Kurtz of Stroud, Kurtz & Co.. Transportation Building, has been appointed to the Business Conduct Committee of the Southeastern group of the Investment Bankers' Associa- tion of America. The appointment fol- lows the annual meeting of the asso- ciation held a few days ago at White | Sulphur Springs, W. Va. and is con- sidered a high honor among invest- ment_bankers. Mr. Kurtz has been in the investment business in Washing- ton for several years. Today's Trading on Exchange. “Trading on the Washington Stock Ex- ! change today was confined wholly to | the bond division. The market opened with one $800 and two $200 sales in | ‘Washington Gas 6¢. series B. changing hands at 10214, practically the same as the last sale. ‘The next sale was a $£1.000 transaction in Washington Railway & Electric 4s at 8615, fractionally above the last pre- vious sale.

BY GEORGE T. HU ZHES, | Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. | NEW YORK, November 24 —Rallying tendencies developed in today's stock market, with gains not alone in the stocks that had been under pressure in the preceding sessions but in the general list. Without any change in the business background, stocks opened higher, pre- sumably because of short covering stim- ulated by the conviction that the list had been oversold and that some re- covery was in order. In addition there | were “favorable developments regarding & number of individual corporations which were reflected in the prices of the shares concerned, and the revela- tion that there was no considerahle amount of stock for le at current levels encouraged the cBvering process. Rail Stocks Rally. The announcement that Standard Oil of New Jersey would retire $30.000,000 par value of its bonds out of cash re- sources brought mew buying into the stock today, with a gain of over a point. General Rallway Signal ad- vanced nearly 5 points on the declara- tion of the regular $1.25 quarterly divi- dend, coupled with the statement that unfinished business on hand was greater than at the same time a vear ago. Glllette Safety Razor gained a point, perhaps because of the plan to revalue its capital stock, although there was no logical connection between that proposal and the show of strength. The railway stocks, after having made their usual quota of new lows in thé first hour, rallied on repurcha by bear operators. The best showing was made by New York Central, Ct apeake & Ohio and Atlantic Coast Line. The first hour's new lows included New Southern Pacific, Southern Rallway, Chicago & Northwestern, Rock Island end Louisville & Nashville. ! Hope of some compromise between the | brotherhoods and the railway execus | tives has net been abandoned, but trad- ing opinion remains pessimistic as to | the rails. Opening Is Higher. Gains predominated at the opening The rallroads stood out as the weak- est’ group. | Unlle; States Steel opened at 61, | up 1% points, American Can was up | 15 at 7414, Allied Chemical at 81 was | up 1%, A.'M. Byers Pipe at 167, was up 1% and J. I Case at 40 gained 1Y, "Alleghany Corporation at 3'i. | New Haven, whose directors meet for dividend actlon today, at 27's: South- ern Raflway at 12'4 and Chicago Rock Island at 14 were the first cf the ca riers to attain new low levels. New York Central and Pennsylvania firmed on their first few trades. Western Union was conspicuous for its weakness at 52'x, a decline of 2', points. American Telephone Tose ' to 131 and trifiing gains were scored by Consolidated Gas at 68'>; and United | Corporation at 12. General Motors | advanced 3% to 253 and du Pont was up ! at 58. General Electric gained | 15 at 2814, but Westinghouse lost % at 38 and Woolworth declined !> to 47. | \CONSTRUCTIVE MINING PROGRAM IS PLANNED By the Associated Press. Action looking toward the develop- ment of & constructive and progressive | program on behalf of the mining in- dustry is expected to be taken by mem- | bers of the American Mining Congress at their annual meeting here early next month. A preliminary canvass of the views of the Industry on the feasibility of a program has been made by the con- gress through a questionnaire which will be announced at that time. Tt will Blr‘:gn!e a wide range of activity, em- ing proposed clarification of the anti-trust Jaws, just and equitable tax- ation of minerals, tariff duties on min- eral products, and improvements in mine operating technique. From the labor end of the industry the congress will discuss increased pro- duction to absorb surplus labor or adoption of a shorter working week, and improvements of relations between capital and labor. Opposition to Gov- ernment invasion of private industr also has a place on the program, while co-operative relations between Govern- ment agencies and the mining industry. as well as the co-ordination of State and national associations dealing with mining problems, will also come up for discussion. : | Stock Yields. NEW YORK, November 24 (Special) —There were 211 listed stocks today selling to yield over 10 per cent. A high proportion of these issues were quoted | at prices that gave a return between | 15 and 20 per cent. Quite a number yielded over 30 per cent. Missouri-Kan- sas-Texas preferred gave a return of 35 per cent. Maytag preferred over 41 per cent, with the maximum vield that of !52 per cent on Frisco preferred. Such high yields ooviously signify an early cancellation of dividend payments. NEW SECURITIES. NEW YORK, November 24 (9).—New securities offered today include: Public_Service Co. of Colorado, $11.- 000,000 first morigage and refunding 6 r cent bonds, series “C."” due Novem- r 1, 1961, priced to yield about 6.70 per cent, by Halsey, Stuart & Co.
