A view of the floor of the New York stock exchange shows the bedlam which prevailed when prices plunged more sharply than in any session in nearly two years. On the big board alone the value of stock was reduced about two billion dollars. Scraps of paper littering the floor and anxious faces of traders Indicate the anxiety which permeated the exchange. The selling wave generally was ascribed to the tense Berlin situation arising from the Russian blockade and the western Allies determined effort to aid the besieged city.

All six proposals, the only ones to be received, are being -consid­ ered by the board which is seek? ing to keep costs within the $127,* 000 sum alloted for this part of the school expansion program through a bond issue passed ill November, 1946, Vaughn P. Lew­ is, superintendent, said. Low bidders were Severs and Williams, Washington C. H„ on general construction, and the fl* W .
