Stocks Edge Higher
Al Close Of Good
Recovery Week
Advances of Fractions
To More Than Point
Predominute at End
BY BERNARD s. O'HARA,
Associated Press financial Write.


NEW YORK, June 26.-The stock
market emerged from a good recov-
cry week with prices generally
higher today Notwithstanding profit
cashing casualties suffered by a
number of recent climbers.
Steels and motors wavered after
q moderately higher opening. Light
selling slowed tie pace which was
relatively active ct intervals. Peace
issues retained their popularity and,
while top marks were reduced in
most cases at the close, advances
of fractions to point or so were
In the majority.
Average Moves Higher.
The Associated Press 60-stock av-
erage finished with net gain of q
of a point at SIT where it was only S
under its highest level since Novem-
ber s, 1889, established June 5, last.
1t was the fifth successive upturn.
On the week the barometer was
ahead IL points. Transfers of
653,500 shares compared with 302, $50
last Saturday. The weeks turnover
was comparatively small, there was
but one million-share session and
that was yesterday when the recoy-
cry swing attained some momentum.
Brokers disagreed as to how much
bullish inspiration was derived from
the congressional overriding of the
hni-strike bill veto and today's Sem
ate vote against the administra-
tons subsidy measure providing for
price rollbacks. At any rate, as
throughout the week, principal
comeback motivation was furnished
by good war news which was re-
f1ected by further leanings toward
stocks OF companies with favorable
peacetime prospects.

New tops for the year or longer
were posted for such stocks as Sears

FR. FORCES
 ARE SPLIT
 0NLEADERS

ALGIERS, June 23. = One of the hottest issues in French North Africa Army recruiting came to the fore today as the French forces of liberation remained divided in allegiance between General Charles DeGaulle and General Honore Gi- raud. It became apparent that the duel power between the leaders and their factions will be quickly re- stunned after the compromise set clement of yesterday continuing the status quo in military control.
 Giraudists indicated that they insist the recruiting be on a terri torial basis, thereby excluding the Fighting French from drawing manpower from North Africa. De- Gaullists declared that not only do Giraudists threaten to freeze out" North Africa where they as serted that many civilians wanted to join the Fighting French, but also those escaping from France are being channeled into the North Africa army.

Maqnuson Wonders If Russians Supply Crab
 To Japanese Markets

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Rep- resentative Warren c. Magnuson announced today that he is investi- gating the aid extended Russia to increase it's catch of crabs for food to determine if such aid is not being operated to cause competi- tion to the American crab meat industry after the war.
 He said he inquired of the Lend Lease Administration just what aid had been extended, after the Pa cific Northwest Crab Producers learned of the project He said he was told Russia had asked for crab nets and equipment to produce and preserve crabmeat and materials to repair some floating canneries operating in the Pacific.
 Representative Magnuson said he was informed that the material sent Russia wouldn't last long enough to constitute a source for postwar competition. Tn view of the Russia-Japan agreement con- corning salmon fishing I'm inter ested in learning whether Russia is buying crabmeat for Japan" Magnuson said.

COAL MINERS START WORK;
 STRIKE ENDS
Will Stay on Jobs Until October 31, Is An
 n0unCement

WASHINGTON, June 23. A back to- work movement in the Pennsylvania and Virginia captive coal mines today signaled the end of the nations third general war time strike, and indications point ed toward virtually full-time pro- duction tomorrow.
 Responding to instructions from John l.. Lewis and his policy com- mittee, the miners have agreed to return to work until October 3l upon the condition that the Gov ernment continue to operate the mines.
 The main issue of the squabble, the portal pay demand, still is not settled, merely postponed.
 Wait Formal Order
 Except for the captive pits, few of the mines went right back to work today, the miners local un- ions awaiting receipt of formal  orders from Lewis to return to their jobs.
 Fuel Coordinator Harold L. Ickes assured the miners that minimum wages prevailing will be continued
 Lewis did not explain the rea- son for the October 3l deadline. It is believed the portal pay issue may be taken to court in the interim.
 Appeal To President
 Only a few hours before, the War Labor Board had referred the strike to President Roosevelt, ask ing him to use all his powers to get mining resumed.
 Yesterday, Ickes and Lewis met in conference for half-hour, but declined to say what had trans pired Lewis said nothing and Ickes issued a statement simply saying the conference had taken place.

 E QUALIFIED
 BEAR HUNTER

Jerry Gucker, 13-year- -old-son of J. w. Gucker, is following in the footsteps of his father as big game hunter from the looks of things, and already has big black bear to his credit.
 The hunt took place last Sunday on the mainland off the west side of Shelter Island where Jerry, his l8-year-old brother Jack and MT. Gucker went for the weekend.

 Jack Gucker senior is proudly showing off the skin to callers at the Alaska Trading Company ware house and plans to have it tanned and mounted as the beginning of Jerrys collection of trophies.
 MT. Gucker and his two sons left Juneau Saturday and spent that night in the open. They returned to town Monday night after spend- ing Sunday night and Monday at their cabin at Point Louisa.

 The commentator. who wouldn't permit the use of his name, empha- sized he did not mean a decision had been reached to bomb Rome.
 He reminded the press confer ence, however, of Churchills past declaration that Rome couldn't con- sider itself exempt from bombing If such an attack is deemed neces- sary to the Allied war effort.
