Stock Averages
60 Stock Range Since 1927
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Press Financial Writer

ASSOG4dLEu lEoS AlAdA4NAo4 "44LGE
NEW YORK, May strength Of
import commodities again took the
play away from securities in today's
financial markets.
While stocks faltered, stumbled
and recovered indifferently at in
tervals, such staples futures as rub
Der. cocoa, wool, hides and sugar
pushed forward under renewed de-
mand which apparently reflected
fears of nearby ocean transport
shortages.
So far as the stock list was con-
cerned, modest plus signs were in
evidence from the start. Many
leaders, however, fingered in the
losing column at the close.
Dealings never achieved any real
momentum and transfers for the
full proceedings were around 100000
shares, one of the low turnovers Of
the year.
Speculative wariness was ac-
centuated, brokers said, by further
war worries, lack of information re-
garding the forthcoming tax burden,
and apprehension over the spread Of
Government price controls and pri-
critics.
A more than seasonal upturn in
last weeks freight loadings was
helpful but the expansion had been
forecast. A walk-out at the General
Motors plant at Warren, Ohio, one
of the major producers of wire for
the aircraft industry, tended to bring
the labor picture back into the lime
light.
In the stock division McKeSson
& Robbins preferred made a new
high for the year. Ahead most of
the time also were Santa Fe, CheSa-
peake e. Ohio, Loft, Standard Oil
of N. j., Kennecott, Montgomery
Ward and Cerro de Pasco.
Bethlehem Steel dipped, although
others in this group were followers
of slim groove. Hesitant also were
Sears Roebuck, Consolidated Edison,
Westinghouse. Air Reduction, J. c.
Penney and Johns-Manville.

SEC. Charges Denied
By Commonwealth
& Southern Corp.
Utility Holding Firm
Contends Corporate
Structure Is Simple
5y the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Commonwealth & Southern
Corp. asserted today that its cor
porate structure is simple" in reply
to an S. E. c. order to show cause
why it should not be required to
simplify its organization and have
a single class of stock.
The company denied categorically
in a brief submitted at a hearing
before the full commission allega-
tions that its corporate structure ap-
peared to be unnecessarily comph-
Gated, that voting power was un-
fairly and inequitably distributed,
that its structure did not justify
more than a single class of stock and
that the continued existence of any
company in the system unneces-
Sarily complicated the structure.
Paul Davis, S. E. c. attorney, asked
the commission to issue an order
Immediately to require the company
to recapitalize so that it would have
a single class of stock.
George Roberts, Commonwealth
attorney, contended that there was
insufficient evidence before the COM
mission to justify such step.
ITO foreclose us because there are
some facts in evidence" Roberts
said, lis just like saying when the
case is half over Give us verdict 3"
The commission agreed to post
pone the proceedings until May Is
SO that Commonwealth representa-
tives and members of the S. E. C..
staff could try to eliminate as many
non-controverted points as possible
A point at issue was the limit of
one year for compliance which would
begin when the commission issued
its order for simplification. Roberts
asserted that it would be pretty
raw" to issue the order and then
work out the method to be followed
while the year was elapsing.

Ford Starts POURING
Magnesium Before
Foundry Is Ready
Huge Plant Incomplete,
But Production for
Defense Begins
BY DAVID ]. WILKIE,
Associated Press Alternative Editor

ASSoClaIdC RTeSs AutomotlVe Editor.
DETROIT. May 1.-Although con-
struction of the Ford Motor Co.'S
magnesium foundry is far from
completed, pouring of the silver
white metallic element, vital to the
national defense, already is under
way at the plant in suburban River
Rouge.
Ford is expending approximately
s1,000,000 in redesigning a section
Of his main foundry building, the
installation of a series of furnaces
mold and coremaking equipment
conveyer lines and other machinery
to create what is described as the
largest magnesium foundry in tht
world.
Used in Plane Engines.
Magnesium has the characteristics
of being unusually light-its atomic
weight is 24.32 compared with 27.1
for aluminum-and tough. The
castings, being made of an alloy
consisting of 6 to 9 per cent alumni
mum, IL to 8 per cent zinc and the
remainder magnesium, are to be
used by Ford in the airplane engine
factory in which he will build Pratt
q Whitney aviation engines for the
United States Army.
The magnesium alloy is one-fourtr
the weight of cast iron and approx.
mately two-thirds the weight ot
aluminium alloy.
Present plans call for the delivery
of 10000 pounds of castings 6
month, but the 10 furnaces beine
installed in the foundry will have
combined capacity of 100000
pounds month. The continuou.
type conveyor system will brine
molds to close proximity to the
pouring stations opposite the gas.

The initial contract for this type
of engine calls for 1000 of the mo.

filled Ford may put his own 12-cyl-
inder, V-type, liquid cooled engine
into production in the factory. Fore
engineers have been making score;
of tests with two-cylinder unit oi

The aviation engine plant, tht

jor phases of the automobile pio-
neer's participation in the nationa
