NEW YORK (#—A narrow trend somewhat to the upside developed | today in the stock market. Prices seldom strayed very far from their previous close, and many shifted between plus and minus in an idle manner. Railroads, a few oils and some non-ferrous metals and chemicals kept to the upside. Steels were ahead early in the session and then sagged. Automo- biles, distillers and quite a few miscellaneous stocks were lower. | Packard was lower after start- ing on a block of 2,000 shares off Y% at 4%. Directors Thursday took no dividend action National Distillers opened on a block of 6,000 shares off 4s at a new low of 21, and then proceeded to slip lower. Directors Thursday said they intended to halve the 50-cent quarterly dividend next month On the upside and active were Noma Electric which opened on a block of 4,200 shares up ‘4 at 14% and then moved higher, and St Regis Paper which started on a block of 4,000 shares up ‘ at 21 and continued at around — that price Also higher were Baltimore & Ohio, United Gas, Phelps Dodge, Homestake Mining, Standard Oil (N. J.), Amerada Petroleum and Zenith. Lower were Youngstown Sheet & Tube, Chrysler, Montgomery Ward, Douglas Aircraft, Schenley Industries, Air Reduction and U. S. Gypsum Stocks on the Curb Exchange were higher for the most part with some | ng sections. Higher were Eastern States Corp., Beckman In strument, United SI Machinery and Sterling Inc.

VOTERS HEAR (Continued From Page One) Onovitz said. “We will have a pay- Toll of $8,000 a week and $4,000 a week in nv *o dow owners.” The attorney was scathing in his| remark that “I wish to congratu- late the ministers on their com- Pany in fighting the dog tr>-k. don’t smoke or drink. Here are the liqu.r dealers trying t- save} souls in Key West by opposing the! dog track.” Aronovitz said: “When I was a boy I dreamed of being a rabbi. If I had been a rabbi I would be opposing gamb- ing along wi‘ the ministers. I went to the other extreme, however, and became a lawyer.” Aronovitz said that there will be band concerts at the track every night during racing season. “If you don’t want to bet, you don’t have to, you can listen to the music. We plan to bring nation- ally known entertainers like Eddie Cantor down here. Then wr are going to post $1,000 with the Jay- cees or the Chamber of Commerce as a prize for high school bands of Florida and Cuba.” The solvency of the stockholders of the track was described by Aro- novitz. The top man does a $300,000- 000 a year business in his grocery chains each year. Another stock- holder is President of a Gas com- pany; another is president of a rock company and still another is head of a huge auto agency. “No bad element will come to town,” Aronovitz assured the audi- ence. “I've always been on the side }of the ministers. We can bring something of benefit to the city,” he concluded. Sidney Aronovitz who spoke for the track brought out the fact that dog racing is not something new to Florida. “There are 13 dog tracks in Flo- rida. Think of the benefits reeciv- ed. Monroe county gets $113,000 a year from parimutuel takes now, of which half goes for schools and half for county welfare. There has never been a scandal connected with greyhound racing. The State supervises the track very carefully. It has 12 employees on hand dur- ing the racing season.” The track, if voted in Tuesday, : | said Sidney Aronovitz, will employ | 100 persons for 90 days each year. Of these 85 per cent must be per- manent residents of the county. “Most important,” said Arono- ‘| vitz,” tourists will have an answer to the question, ‘What is there to do tonight?” You need an over-all enertainment program. Dog racing will help to give an over all enter- tainment program. Dog racing will tainment. Tourists now come to Key West and leave the next day. The dog track is one step in ‘eep- ing them here. If we had to de- pend upon local people and sailors for the track, we could not oper- ate. The track is a tourist attrac- tion operating during the season.” , Aronovitz pointed out that Mon- foe county sheriff Berlin Sawyer had endorsed the track. He then | merchants in that city for dog rac- ing. Some of them had opposed the track when it was voted on. “As far as gambling addicts are concerned, is it not better that they see them than in bolita houses or on the sly where they can't be seen?” asked Aronovitz. “It will deter an addict of gambling to be seen in public?” The young lawyer gave the breakdown of reecipts of dog rac. ing as follows. He said 83 per cent goes back to the bettors at the win- dow, six per cent goes for employ- ees, five percent to the state, three percent to dog owners, and three percent to track owners. Both Abe and Sidney Aronovitz will speak at a meeting tonight to) be held at the VFW Post on White- head street. The Post is not spon-| | soring the meeting, Aronovitz said, it is merely providing the space for both sides of the question to be dis- | asking voters to vote either way.

Roberts, 47, brother-in- law of Fire Chief Leroy Torres who died recently, succumbed to a heart attack last night at Number three Fire Station. Time of death was set by Coroner Roy Hamlin as about 8:30 p.m. Mr. Roberts, who was a member of the Key West Volunteer Fire department, had just entered the fire station when he complained of a bad pain in his heart. Before aid could reach him, he had keeled over. Death followed almost im- mediately. Funeral services, which are in charge of the Lopez Funeral Home, will be held Sunday afternoon at 5 p.m. at the Fleming Street Me- thodist Church. The body will lie in state in the church from 2 p. m. until the funeral hour. Rev. E. M.

S. air-sea rescue plane today joined the | search for a 210-ton Japanese ship which vanished in the volcano- j Tocked Pacific 200 miles southeast | of Tokyo. The ship, with 30 men aboard, | last reported Monday from its in- | spection of the new Myojin reefs | that rose from the ocean floor two | weeks ago in a violent submarine | eruption, | coming to borrow money from me to send her husband to a hospital. I lost all his money at the track.” Eugene Roberts, Key West busi-| nessman, made his points against! nancial point of view. | “Dog racing will not attract tour- icts,"" said Roberts. “People look- |ing for dog racing will look for | bigger and better tracks upstate.| !They have to pass these tracks on meen aj their way to Key West. We are *tved with a soft custard sauce, jat the end of the line. tourists in Key West longer. In fact it will be just the opposite. If a map comes to Key West with $200 to spend and loses $50 at the track, he will have just that much| less to spend at moteis, hotels, rest-| aurants and with Key West mer. hants Thirdly, seid Roberts, Key West is still too smal! for the track There is no surrounding urban area to draw upon for the track. Miami is the next big city and it has its own tracks “It will be a drain on the Navy payroll,’ said Roberts the sailors ther es because t ck k promoters say dog rac provide jobs for Key west said Roberts Who needs a job in Key West? Everybody is working who wants to work The amount that Monroe county will get from the state racing fund contributed to by dog tracks is only one sixty-seventh of the fund. or $700 a year more than it receives nee hout a track from the same fund, be said. i $e Friday, September 26, 1952 Boat Rides On Program For Kids’ Day National Kids’ Day is celebrated nationally tomorrow, September 27, sponsored by Kiwanis Interna- tional and the National Kids’ Day Foundation, Inc. The theme is “Child By Child We Build Our Nation.” In Key West, children have been given tickets by the local Kiwan- is organization entitling them to free boat rides. One of the boats is owned by J Y.. Porter IV. The rides begin at 9 a.m., with boats leaving the foot of Duval St. on the hour. There will be three trips made in the morning at 9, 10 and 11 a.m. and three in the afternoon, at 2, 3 and 4 p.m. It is expectec that Mayor C. B. Harvey will issue a proclamation declaring Saturday as National Kids’ Day in Key West. Today’s Women By DOROTHY ROE Associated Press Women’s Editor The men, bless 'em, are taking a timid step toward a ‘new look.” It’s called the Edwardian look, and it consists of a fitted, high- buttoned coat with cuffs on the sleeves and no cuffs on the trous- ers. More daring Brummels do it up brown with a brocaded waist- coat. This thing, of course, was ‘bound to come, after the so-called casual look reached such propor- tions right after World War II that you couldn’t tell whether a man was wearing a business suit or his pajamas. Men have been edging cautiously toward a slightly less rumpled mode of dress for the last two years, since tailors started taking some of the padding out of should- ers and modifying lapels so that they didn’t look like a flying jib. But any move to change men’s habits of dressing is in for rough going before the boys can be per- suaded to try something different. Witness a survey just completed by thé‘National Association of Re- tail Olothiers and Furnishers. A 2,000 store members revealed that 70 per cent felt that American men would ‘have no truck with the Ed- wardian look. Others thought the “sometime in the distant future.” Be that as it may, the Daily News “Record reports this week that Edwardian-style men’s suits “with narrow lapels, cuffs on the sleeves, collared vest and narrow } trousers” are being made in Bel- man, director of the wool bureau, Says: | “The high buttoned look seems to be edging toward a national fashion.”’ Ackerman, a genial gent whose business is to keep two jumps ahead of clothing trends, says you | can see Edwardian suits on college campuses from Princeton to Wis- | consin this year, and by next year | you'll be seeing it generally over | the country So it looks as if Pop is going | to have to € up soon, and stop looking like head man at a hobo | convention. It may be a wrench to part with those low-necked shirts with collars reaching to the | solar plexus and those ties wired | for sound. The dropping slacks and | baggy sports coat will have to go | back to their rightful place in the | country. Thus far the experts are divided in their predictions of how far the j cussed. The Post, he said, is not/dog racing from the economic, fi-| ‘Tend will go.
