 New York, March 17 tUPy -Ap- pointment of Gen Douglas Mac Arthur to the supreme command of United Nations forces in the south west Pacific today brought improve ment in all markets.
 Stocks had one of their best gains of the year with volume increasing. Bonds were higher with Australian issues squirting l to 1 points after their recent drop aggregating 20 points. Commodities joined the rise on a smaller scale.
 The MacArthur appointment came when the stock market was in what Wall street considered 8 favorable techncial position to advance. Stocks had been oversold and a sizeable short position built up. in many is- sues. These easily advanced as shorts covered. In addition, an- nouncement that the interstate com- merce commission refused to post pone a freight rate' increase as re- quested by the office of Price Ad- ministration was favorably regard ed for carrier shares. Numerous fave orable corporation reports plus less feasome views on taxes rounded out the god news.
 Gains ranged to more than 2 points in the main, stock list. In some high priced shares, the ad- vances ran to { points.
 Automobile shares were prorni- nent. Nash Kelvinator led in volume by cirtue of large block turnover ranging to one transaction of 5000 shares. Chrysler and General Mo- tors made new 19742 highs atr54 1-2 up IA and 35 1-8 up 7-8. respec- lively.
