Wednesday, March 12, 1958 THE NEW MEXICAN Business And Finance Livestock John. Dempsey Dies: Funeral Slated Stock Market NEW YORK (INS) Profit-taking in some recent favorites gave the stock market a mixed tone today after eight sessions of advance. A few issues, however, were able to attract buying and post new gains of fractions to more than a dollar. Prices opened mixed, then sagged, but selective buying later developed to reduce most losses and prompt a generous sprinkling of plus signs in the industrial list. Trading was active at the outset, when the tape lagged briefly then slowed with volume lagging behind Tuesdays 2,640,000 share pace.

Most steel, motor, aircraft and oil shares tended lower as a result of the profit-taking and a new look at the economy by some traders. Several dividend cuts dampened interest as did a production cutback announced by a mining division of U.S. Steel. Lorillard was prominent on the upside with a gain of a dollar in tbe afternoon after a morning loss. Olin Mathieson spurted to show the same rise, Phelps Dodge duplicated the feat and St.

Regis Paper was marked up nearly as much after a mid-afternoon trade, of 15,600 shares. Universal Pictures slumped about lVi after shareholders were told the directors would be asked to pass the dividend because of a 8400,000 loss in the latest quarter Bethlehem and U.S. Steel dipped fractionally and Youngstown Sheet was off about 1H at worst in tbe steels. sey Realty Co.

S. Smith, sjmposUim coordinator filling in for Howard C. Eberline, explained that the film badges are precision instruments which measure the degree of radiation to which a person has been exposed. The badges are worn by personnel handling radioactive materials or working in areas of radiation. Wednesday speakers include Major Gordon Jacks, Los Alamos, who spoke on automation of handling the film badges and tabulating the results; Charles Wycoff of Edgerton, Germeshausgri and Grier, Boston, on automation of developing the special films; H.

O. Wilcoxon and Jack L. Moon of Eberline, on automation of a film data tabulation methods; R. L. Huber of E.

I. du Pont de Nemours, New Jersey, on film characteristics for radiation dosage measurement; and H. M. Clere, Eastman Kodak Rochester, N.Y., on Kodak films for radiation monitoring. Thursday speakers will include representatives of the Lexington Signal Depot, Lexington, Convair of Fort Worth, Tex.

and Reynolds Electrical and Engineering Co. of Las Vegas, Nev. Smith explained that the badges include a paper-wrapped piece of special film, carefully controlled during manufacture to have a standard amount of sensitivity to different types and energies of radiation. Using a highly standardized process, the film is developed much the same as ordinary film used in ordinary cameras. Since the film is sensitive to exposure to radiation, it becomes dark.

The amount of darkening produced on the film indicates the degree of exposure to radiation, Smith continued. Because of the necessity for a high degree of accuracy, researchers and manufacturers are striving for precision controls from the time the film is made to the final tabulation of the de- The city council police committee this morning accepted the recommendations of Chief of Police A. B. Martinez and approved the promotion of Sgt. Raymond Abeyta to police lieutenant and Patrolman Rudy Miller to police sergeant.

A vacancy as captain was not filled because the two eligible lieutenants failed the test. Abeyta made the top grade on the competitive test of the three sergeant candidates. Miller placed third in the testing of the candidates for sergeant among eligible patrolman candidate. However, Martinez explained that the competitive test was not the only criterion for selection of officers for promotion. He said seniority, work attitude, loyalty, interest and enthusiasm, judgment, report writing, alertness, bearing and demeanor, contacts with the public, and appearance were also factors in considering the candidates.

Abeyta made 91 on the test, while Sgt. Dave Gonzales passed with a 78. Officers Praxedes Sanches topped the testing with an 88, Abundlo Armijo made an 87 had seniority over both other officers, and was rated higher on seniority and other factors, the chief explained. The lieutenant's vacancy was created by the resignation recently of Steve Griego, and a ser (Continued From Page 1) from the east coast.

Govern meat sources said earlier that a combined land-sea-and-alr operation was underway against the rebels. Informants said new troops had been landed from ships, as well as dropped by transports, and that warplanes and warships were bombarding rebel coastal positions. Meanwhile, central government military commander conce ded today that Indonesian rebels in the North Celebes have captured the port city of Gorontalo, the newspaper Suluh Indonesia said.

The usually reliable paper quoted Lt. Col. Jonosewojo, chief of staff of the East Indonesian military command, as saying reinforcements arrived too late from Jakarta to hold Gorontalo. The trading center of more than 15,000 persons was captured by forces of Lt. Col.

D. J. Somba, who supports the rebel government in Central Sumatra. Central government 1 troops commanded by Nani Wartabone fled into the jungle and are organizing guerrilla warfare against the rebels, Jonosewojo said. The government had claimed Feb.

Lucero nominated Martinez for the police magistrate post with Frank Rank, in a surprise move, making the nomination speech for incumbent Joe Berardinelli. Following his 68 to 14 defeat in the delegate voting, Padilla took the floor for a unity speech which brought a standing ovation. Some delegates had feared that Padilla might lead a walkout if he lost the nomination, as he did from a previous conv ention.

Both Montoyas speech and the adopted platform made prominent reference to the all-America cities citation received by Santa Fe. Montoya, and the platform, listed the fulfilled promises of the Democrats as enactment of the council-city manager form of government, the historical zoning ordinance, a non-partisan and nonpolitical police force, city subdivision and land use ordinances, extensive paving and street light improvements, better fire protection, fluoridation of the citys water supply, traffic safety program, recreational facilities, enlargement of the airport in cooperation with the county and improved recreational facilities.

The bill is a part of the antirecession package being pushed by Democratic strategists at the Capitol.

Sen. Sparkman (D-Ala) estimates it could bring construction of 200,000 more homes in 1958 than are now contemplated. He said this would mean up to new jobs. The biggest dispute centers on a provision inserted by the Banking Committee which would permit the President to raise the interest rate on GI home loans from l2 to 4-H per cent. Sen.

Provide an extra 500 million for direct VA loans, and 50 million to be used by FNMA for military housing mortgages. Lower down payments on FHA loans to 3 per cent on the first $13,500 of a mortgage.

At present it is 3 per cent on the first $10,000, with higher amounts above that. Raise the interest rate ceiling on military housing mortgages from 4 to 44 per cent. line on the interest rate. The Eisenhower administration had asked for a 5 per cent maximum, contending that private lending funds were not available at the 44 per cent figure and that the GI loan program thus was about dead. Sen.

Monroney (D-Oklat promised a floor battle to retain the present rate. His amendment was consponsored by 19 other Democrats and two Republicans. Monroney said it would be a serious mistake for Congress to vote higher rates on VA mortgages when all other interest -rates are starting to move down.
