On the mans. end, the demand

a hint Of a springtime increase in
outdoor heavy construction, home
building and farm activities.
With further curtailment taking
place in steel and other lines, the

AP Average Slips Il OF A
Point; Aviation Issues
Rise Slightly
BY FREDERICK GARDNER

NEW YORK, March 2-(R-Fall-
ing utilities showed the stock market
averages a bit lower again today.
Strength in aircrafts and motors
proved insufficient to stop the re-
treat.
At the end of the short session,
many selected shares were exhibit
ing definite rising tendencies al
though insufficient transactions had
been recorded to show traders view
points in any direction.
The Associated Press average OF
80 selected stocks slipped i of a
point to 1914. Shares transferred to.
tailed 274, 710-the smallest short
session since January 22-compared
with 377,73o last Saturday.

gan yesterday, was attributed 10 the
securities and exchange commissions
show.cause orders asking Middle
West Corp, Electric Bond and Share
Co., and Engineers Public Service
Co., why they shouldn't simplify
their corporate structure and -ein.
tegrate themselves geographically in
accordance with the law.
Practically all the utilities share
prices were adversely affected III the
trading.
Metals accompanied the utilities
downward. Anaconda, Kennecott, and
American Smelling showed minus
signs.
Steela were uneven and so lightly
traded as scarcely to be noticeable
On the other hand, aviation stocks
got a boost from buying interest
which lifted Douglas, United Aircraft
and Martin. General Motors AMI
Chrysler Immediately benefited.
After a bit of irregularity, Loft
gained a fraction and held it. Austin
Nichols common went up a point
and the preferred jumped 3. East
man gained a point. Other advancers
included Union Carbide, DUPONT, Gen
eral Electric, Macy, Sears Roebuck
and Montgomery Ward.
Gamers in an irregular curb
where transactions totaled 100, 00(
shares compared with $4,000 last

Tournament of Champions Shows Expert Skill in Forcing
 Lead
BY VIM. F.. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

The world championship masters individual tournament is perhaps the most unusual tournament con- ducted by the American Contract Bridge League. Only 36 players, se- lected from the top masters Of the country, are invited to participate. Champions of foreign countries also receive invitations.
 One might think that the caliber of play in the masters individual would be beyond criticism, but that Is not always true. There are, how ever, many skillfully played hands. Each participant is required to play with and against every other contestant, and, of course. the championship goes to the one bess able to handle every other master as an opponent.
 This year, after five gruelling sessions, Morrie Ellis, young New York star who has made quite a reputation since 1886, became champion. Ellis thought today's hand, played by Mrs. J. E. Folline of Richmond. Va, one of the best played hands of the tournament.
 When the ace of clubs held the opening trick, West shifted to a diamond, which Mrs. Folline (South) won with the king. She laid down the ace of spades, oniy to find that East now had two spade tricks.
