Dullness and irregularity dominated the 1:30 stock market session with speculation recovering some favorites while others slumped.

Pinchot Chief Files Brief on Luzerne Ballots
INS Deputy Attorney General William A. Schnader, chief of Gifford Pinchot's legal staff, filed in the Supreme Court briefs supporting the use of perforated ballots in Luzerne County's May primary. He moved to quash Francis Shunk Brown's appeals for lack of jurisdiction and discussed the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas ruling dismissing Abram Salsburg's bid to withhold the county vote. The Pinchot brief argues perforated ballots were proper in 872 election districts and cites prior decisions to support the lower court's jurisdictional decline after county officials certified the vote to the secretary of the Commonwealth.
