the opening. The common climb
ed well over point, along with
Bethlehem, Youngstown and Cru
chile.
Close behind the steels were the

few blue-chips chalked up large
gains. including Eastern Kodak,
Westinghouse, Dupont and U. S.
Gypsum, each of which advanced
more than two points.
Stocks were strong at the start,
absorbed light profit taking mid
way through the first hour, then
moved back toward early peaks.
Gains of point or more were
registered by ChrySler, General
Motors, Anaconda, Allied Chemt-
cal, Montgomery Ward, Sears Roe
buck, U. S. Rubber, Texas Cor
poration, and Johns-ManVille.
