over war developments brought a
fresh deluge Of short selling Fri

points to new lows for more than
year in trading that swamped
ticker facilities.
All sections were hard hit. Air
craft shares more than gave up
sharp gains scored Thursday. Doz-
ems of issues hit the lowest levels
In :. year and longer.
Other markets also were hit.
Wheat closed on losses ranging to
more than four cents a bushel and
other gains weakened.
Bonds slumped with the stock
market.
Stocks were firm in initial deal
ings, but attention soon was d.
verted to the western front. Trad
ers showed increasing uneasiness
and stocks also were offered freely.
BY mid-afternoon a rout was in
progress.
Stop-loss orders and margin sell
ing accelerated the decline. There
was no semblance of support until
the final few minutes when many
issues rallied. The market hit rest
ing buy orders. Shorts covered
