NEW YORK. June 3.-The stock
market generally ignored the war
news and other bearish factors to-
day and whipped up a rally that
lifted industrial leaders fractions to
2 or more points.
Prices. heSitant at the opening,
began TO rise near the end of the
first hour. Dealings broadened per-
ceptibly for a brief interval then
reverted to the casual meandering
of past sessions. Quotations were
under the best in most cases at the
close. Transfers of around 100000
shares compared with about 5000
yesterday.
Brokers attributed the comeback
partly to few inflationary tremors
among speculative forces and to the
reinstatement of some commitments
on the theory there was good
chance for a worthwhile recovery in
view of the fact depressing develop
ments abroad lately had brought out
only a mere dribble of offerings.
Mondays turnover was one of the
smallest since last August.
The upsWing might have attained
greater proportions. it was suggested
had it not been for persistent doubts
regarding spreading governmental
controls. the labor outlook and
cloudy tax problems.
Stocks tacking on 2 points or 50
in the early upward drive included
American Telephone, Du Pont and
Westinghouse.
Among lesser gamers were Bethle-
hem Steel, Chrysler, General Motors.
