CLARK OPPOSES EXTRA SESSION Governor Says Doesn't Think Advisable Even if All Legislation Not Passed BOISE, Feb. 23. (P)-Gov. Barzilla W. Clark said today he does not think "it is advisable" to call a special session of legislature, immediately after the present session, if a revenue measure is not enacted now to provide for social security and relief.

He expressed belief that "our legislature has a mind to give and take in the best interests of our state, and that they have time to work out these important questions." "I do not think it is advisable to call a special session immediately, although both Democrats and Republicans promised an adequate social security program," the governor said in a press statement. "I realize that the constituents who are now making their wants known to the legislators in both houses, are groups like chambers of commerce, merchants' associations and such others. Can't Waste Money. "The rank and file of the people, who voted for the legislators in the belief that they would support an adequate social security program, are not in a position to waste money on telegrams or otherwise bring pressure to bear. "I have not tried to bring any personal influence to bear on the legislators.

"The public is slow to understand and appreciate the value of public spending on a pay-as-you-go basis, because there has been SO little of it done. "No one asks or expects entire agreement in a group like a state legislature, but it is worse than useless to allow differences of opinions to become bitter controversies. "Of course, our social security program is really a minor item in our state finances-one-third of our liquor or tobacco bills would finance a generous social security program; a one per cent gross sales tax would take care of it in good shape. "I realize that if all public business was done on a cash basis, it would disrupt our present loan system, but nevertheless the wheels of progress are carrying us in that direction; the loan system is the one that is going to have to adjust itself in the years ahead."

(P) -The stock market back tracked today for losses of 1 to around 5 points. Wall street attributed falling tendencies principally to fresh nervousness over the labor outlook and the belief in some quarters that exciting speculation abroad in armaments materials was due to come a cropper.

Fast dealings put the ticker tape behind frequently in the first hour. The volume lessened later but picked up at the finish. Transfers approximated 2,950,000 shares. Yesterday's sensational London upturn in the price of copper, tin, lead and zine buoyed stocks in this line at opening, many climbing fractions to 2 points. The sprint was short lived, however, as price trends were reversed in the British market.

Handicapping buying forces were outbreaks of new strikes, including one at the electric boat plant up construction of new submarines. There was also a "sit down" move started at the Douglas Aircraft Works. In addition, delegates of the 16 ing" railway brotherhoods, representing 800,000, voted to ask a wage raise of approximately 20 per cent.
