SHORT SQUEEZE
 BOOSTS STOCKS ALL ALONG LIST
Improvement in Gov ern. ment Bonds Develops
 Better Tone Today

NEW YORK, June 9.-A short squeeze in Auburn gave the Stock Market a much needed boost today just as it was slipping back to the bear market lows of last week.
 After heavy tone at the open ing, the list quickly met support of the run-up of about 10 points in Auburn accompanied by numerous gains of from one to three points elsewhere.
 The list however turned dull after midday and there were some slight recessions from the best.
 Bonds Help Out
 The advance was undoubtedly helped by the market improvement developing in government bonds and by a better tone of some of the principal commodities.
 American Telephone recovered early the point loss and sold up to more than two points.
 Many Issues Gain
 Issues gaining two to three points were Consolidated Gas, Allied Chemical, Westinghouse, Coca Cola, Santa F'e, Union Pac- fife, American Tobacco B., Peoples Gas, Safeway and Macy.
 Some issues gave up as much as one point of gains after midday.
 United States Steel failed to show recuperative power.
