Stock Leaders Down
F fractions 10 81 in
Slow Session
Most Closing Prices
Near Days Lows;
Few Gains Seen
BY VICTOR EUBANK.


NEW YORK, March Pleading
stocks back-stepped fractions to
points or so in today's market
without being subjected to any ap-
preciable selling pressure.
Yesterdays decline was hardly
conducive to inspiring fresh bid
ding, it was suggested, and timid
efforts at the start of the brief
session to attract support met with
only faint response A few issues
managed to emerge with modest
plus signs, but closing prices gen.
orally were at or near the lows.
Dealings never were really active
and transfers for the two hours
approximated 250,000 shares. The
turnover would have been even
smaller except for trade of 10000
shares of United Corp. at /, un-
changed from Friday.
On average the market registered
a net loss for the week and was
around its level of the early part
of the month.
Brokers blamed the days slipup
mainly on a little more speculative
and investment pessimism engen-
dered by the Yugoslavian crisis,
continued intensified Nazi bombing
of Englands important seaports
and Germany's claims of tre-
mendous British shipping tonnage
having been sunk recently.
Stocks in arrears included United
States Steel, Bethlehem, Youngs-
town Sheet, Crucible Steel, Chrys-
ler. General Motors, Du Pont,
Johns-Manville, United States Rub
ber, Sears-Roebuck, Anaconda,
American Smelling, International
Silver. Douglas Aircraft. United
Aircraft, Texas Corp, Paramount,
New York Shipbuilding, Newport
News Shipbuilding. Santa Fe and
Pennsylvania.
Most of the senior share climbers
of the past several days retreated
moderately. Among these were is
sues of Standard Gas, Common
wealth & Southern and Pere Mar
quette.
Up at one time or another were
Allied Chemical, Laclede Gas pre-
ferred, Westinghouse, McKesson &
Robbins preferred, Montgomery
Ward and Phelps Dodge.
Bonds edged downward after
fairly good getaway led by rails.
Commodities were mixed.

Requirements Increased.

Grace is no dummy. The little
Napoleon of Bethlehem Steel Corp.
is a smart, we'll informed steel man
if there ever was one. His COM
pany has more armament orders
mostly ships-than any other con-
Germ in the country.
What caused this sudden change
of opinion, this growing uncertain
ty over the ability of the steel in
dustry to take on all orders in the
battle for steel supplies?
Here's the answer: Business had
looked at the arms program as a
fixed job of definite size But
every time business looks the other
way the program doubles.
In the last few months the lend
lease bill has opened up this coun-
try's entire resources to Britain. A
huge new Shipbuilding program has
been launched to build boats faster
than Hitler could sink them. Big
pay rolls have Skyrocketed civilian
consumption.
Now rumors from Washington
say the program may have to be
doubled or tripled again to beat
Hitler.
