Stocks Resume Rise,
SteeIs, Motors and
SpeciaIties Active
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-The stock
market today resumed It's climb back
to the 7-year peak from which it
slipped last week.
Led by steels, motors, industrial
specialties and selected rails, nu-
merous issues added fractions to a
point or more to Wednesdays rally,
with the uptrend maintained from
the opening on. AS In the preceding
session, there were isolated wide
jumps. Dealings, lively most Of the
time, tapered somewhat near the
fourth hour.
Further cheering news regarding
the health of the Nazi European
thrust again was the principal bull
ish influence. Individual situations
continued to spur several sprinters.
Dearth of selling for tax purposes
was helpful.
At highs for the year or longer
were Westinghouse common and
preferred, up about 3 and IL points,
respectively, both still rejecting
stock splitup proposals; United
Merchants g. Manufacturers and
Pepsi-Cola. In front were United
States Steel, Bethlehem, General
Motors, Chrysler, Santa Fe, New
York Central, United States Rubber,
Douglas Aircraft, Kennecott and Du
Pont. Montgomery Ward and Sears
Roebuck did better.
>Pennroad, a recent curb favorite
weakened appreciably on action of
the United States Court of Appeals
in reversing lower court ruling of
last January awarding the company
some $22 100000 in a stockholders
suit against the Pennsylvania Rail-
road.

Wilson Urges Cutback
In Other Lines 10 Get
Workers in War Jobs
BY the Associated Press.

~ tAc AooOSi6tCh fieSs.
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Charles E.
Wilson, former executive vice pres
ident Of the War Production Board,
recommends that the Government
"cut into other kinds of work to re-
lease people for war jobs in which
critical bottlenecks are appearing"
Mr.. Wilson, who resumed the
presidency of General Electric Co.
last September after resigning
from the WPB two weeks earlier,
told press conference:
Some things are being manufac-
tured which can't be considered abb
solutely essential-such as pocket
books. for example. I believe such
companies would release employees
so that they can make necessary
war goods. 1t wouldn't take too long
to train them"
| Mr.. Wilson said the shortage OF
certain war items (such as tires,
trucks, big guns and shells and a
need for around 100000 additional
war workers "has been talked about
for six months and still nothing has
been done"
He suggested the United States
Employment Service could help get
workers into war industries and as
serted: About changing the Selec-
tive Service regulations to try and
get more workers. don't think that
will help much"
Saying Il don't want to appear
too critical" Mr. Wilson added that
American businessmen ought to
help find out how to overcome this
shortage"
Mr.. Wilson said he felt "it is wrong
thinking about postwar planning. All
of industry now is on war work and
on the job for the Army and Navy"
