London Market Irregular;
Buying Activity Widens
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, March 10.-Buying ac-
tivity in today's stock market broad
ened to include some issues Sorely
neglected in recent sessions when
gilt-edge securities alone attracted
interest.
The overall tone of the market
was indefinite, although the higher
priced group developed strength and
there were numerous cases of indl-
vidual progress in other depart
ments, particularly tobacco shares.
Joining the gilt-edge group in the
new makeup were India stocks and
some foreign bonds. In the latter
group, Czech 8s were a feature on
the upside.
The quickening demand for equi-
ties of the medium price division
was attributed partly to reinvest-
ing of funds in advance of Indian
and London County Council repay
mentS as we'll as to a shortage of
floating supplies in some issues.
Some support was noted for kaf-
frs but at the end Of the session
little price change had been re-
corded.

TODAY,S LEADERSHIP

New times bring new leadership
Nothing illustrates this more clearly
than the current use of mass pressure
and picketing to fight racial prejudiee
and secure jobs. At such audaeity
leaders of the old school would perhaps
be "fabbergasted"; but in an eneour-
aging number of instances it has won
results when verbal conferences have
totally failed. Thus more and more
persons have become converts TO
modern militant methods of solving
political and economic disputes.
In the opposite camp old ideas still
prevail largely because returns continue
satisfactory. Among the so-ealled
ruling class" long accepted political
and industrial practices have developed
eomplacency impervious to any no
tions of reform You cannot rouse
their conscience by mere pleas for
sanity and fair-play; but they wake up
suddenly at threat TO their pocket
books.
