BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, May 3.-Moderately
active buying of motors, steels and
rubbers impaired recovery momen-
tum to today's stock market and key
industrials generally moved up frac-

Many areas of the list remained
sluggish despite the revival else
where and Wall Streeters continued
to believe that speculative interests
would be under considerable re-
straint until the impending vital
military developments in Europe
materialize.
The markets gains were well
maintained near the fourth hour.
Chrysler was up more than a
point at one time. Other leaders at
better levels were General Motors
