Stock Market Rise
Stalled by Selling
After Good Week
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The stock
market today concluded one Of its
fastest and strongest weeks since last
June with recently climbing rails and
assorted industries meeting sufficient
selling resistance to stall the rise.
The fact that the averages, with
only minor Interruptions, had been
hitting new seven-year peaks since
the start OF the month on heavy VOL
umes tended to sober Wall Street
enthusiasts. Accounts, consequently,
were lightened. particularly among
the carriers, on the idea a sizable
technical correction was at least q
possibility.
Dealings were active from the
start. Turnover of 1,021 $40 shares
compared with 1,o44.800 a week ago
and was the second largest Saturday
aggregate since June II. 1t was the
18th consecutive session in which
turnover exceeded the million share
level. Total for the week Of 8,32s,310
was record figure since the period
ending July 1.
Owing to declining rails, the Asso-
ciated Press 60-stock composite was
on i of a point at 58l but on the
week showed a net gain of 8 of q
point. The market again was broad,
o52 issues registering. If these, 327
were up against 525 down or un-
changed.
Steels, motors and rubbers were
narrowly lower over the short
stretch. Losses included Santa Fe,
New York Central, Southern Pacific.
Southern Railway, Chesapeake a.
OHIO. Chrysler, United States Rub
per, Anaconda, Westinghouse, Amer
lcan Telephone, United Aircraft and
Sears, Roebuck. Ahead were Al.
leghany Corp, most active per-
former, which came out in blocks
running to $4,000 shares; American
Can, General Electric, Douglas Air.
craft, J: c. Penney, Philip Morris
and Allied Chemical.
Throughout the week rails and se-
lected industrials were buoyed bv

version inspire by more long war
talk.

criminal assault in connection with
the kidnapping of a Birmingham
woman.
Reedy and Hockenberry escaped
from the psychopathic ward at Gal
1inger Hospital in Washington and
fed South.
Mr.. Green said the State should
conclude its presentation of evi-
dence today.
AS the joint trial opened yester-
day Judge Gardner Goodwin an
nounced the general public would
be excluded from the courtroom.
Later he barred newspaper reporters
from the chamber while Mrs. j. L.
Brasher, 81, the kidnap victim, was
on the stand.
She testified for As minutes.
I1cI IluSUdIlu, Tile SIdtc > 1lISl WIZ
ness, told the court his wife was
abducted by two men as she walked
ahead of him in leaving suburban
Birmingham restaurant on the night
of February II. The getaway was
made in the Brasher automobile.
Mr.. Brasher said one of the men
whom he identified as Reedy-told
him to get the hell out of here"
as he walked up to the automobile.
II walked around to the rear to
see if I had made a mistake, and
then the car sped away" he said.
when I next saw my wife (sev-
eral hours later in hospital" he
added, ''her eyes were swollen three
times normal size =, her face
was black as a mans hat, and she
was suffering from knife wounds on
the left breast and neck"
Police Commissioner Eugene Con-
nor Of Birmingham said the accused
pair had confessed the abduction.
They pleaded innocent and inno-
