Stocks Irregularly Lower After Fairly Good Week Composite At End Of Week Just About Where It Was Last Month By FREDERICK GARDNER ' NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—UP)—After a, week of generally rising prices, the stock market today turned ir regularly lower. While quiet strength was exhib ited by a smattering of specialties, losses of fractions to a point or so were slightly in the majority at the close. Selling was never urgent and the ticker tape frequently loafed, but efforts to put up leading steels, rails and aircrafts met with only “half-hearted response. Off .1 Of Point The Associated Press average ol 60 stocks was off .1 of a point at 44.7, but on the week retained a net advance of .7. The mild elapse on balance came in the wake of four successive upturns. At the finish today the composite was just about where it was a month ago. Trans fers totalled 210,440 shares com pared with 195,750 in the short ses sion of two weeks ago. The market closed last Saturday for Columbus Day. Some traders inclined to stand aside in view of the idea that the list might be due for a modest tech nical setback following the lengthy fortvard tilt. Inspiration , from the war news or the home election cam paign prospects again served to prop sentiment. Shares on the offside in the two hour proceedings included U. S Steel. Bethlehem, Crucible Steel, Chrysler, Sears Roebuck, J. I. Case, Boeing, United Aircraft, Union Car bide, N. Y. Central, Great Northern, Anaconda and duPont.

These generally disclosed large third quar ter improvements in gross over last year but reflected increased inrocds into profits by higher federal taxes.

Paroles Commissioner Edwin Gill announced today that Gov ernor Hoey had decided to parole this modern “Jean Valjean” be cause of the "excellent record” Deitz has made as a prisoner. Deitz was convicted of second degree murder in May 1929 in Moore county in the killing of Chief of Police Kelly of Southern Pines. He went “over the fence" at Caledonia prison farm in De cember 1929 and was neither seen nor heard from until his arrest in Ohio on November 5, 1935. In the interim, Deitz .fled to his native home in West Virginia and turned to farming, he said. There he married his childhood sweet heart who knew he was an escap ed prisoner. They have one child, a girl. Dietz said he moved from West Virginia to a small farm in Ohio and began farming, carpentering and doing odd jobs to make a living for himself, wife and daughter. Later he got a job with an oil firm at Jackson. “The plant manager got sick and I ran the place, trying to run it like I would if it was my own business,” Deitz said after his re capture. “I tried hard to make good. I knew it might happen any time—that I might have to come back, but I have tried hard.” Gill said prison officials agree Deitz has lived up to a statement he made when he was brought back to North Carolina—that he thought “prisons may rehabilitate men and I'm going to try to clear my record.” Cloudy And Slightly » Warmer Weather Seen Cloudy, probable occasional showers, and rising temperatures today for Wilmington and vicinity were forecast last night by local weather bureau officials. Weathermen predicted a low of 53 degrees for this morning, after the mercury had dropped to a low of 44 degrees at 6 o'clock yester day morning.
