Stock Prices Continue
SeIective Recovery
After Busy Week
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, April 2l.-Led by
rails, stocks generally resumed the
selective recovery push today after
a week OF big-scale volumes in
which the averages hit highest levels
In about eight years.
AS in most previous sessions be-
ginning on the Friday the Truman
administration took over, buying
was based on further hopes of Gov
eminent cooperation with industry,
the outlook for postwar prosperity
and the hope that reconversion
troubles might not be as serious a.
some expected. Profit-taking on the
recent sharp advance, however, re-
manned as trend handicap and the
approaching collapse Of the NaZis
served to accentuate investment
caution.
The list turned a bit mixed after
the opening, but prices hardened
toward the last. Closing gains of
fractions to point or more-there
were a few wider shifters-were
widely distributed, although minus
signs were plentiful. Transfers Of
$50, 600 shares were the largest for
a Saturday since March 10 and COM
pared with 10000 in the preceding
short stretch.
The Associated Press 60-stock
composite was up 03 of point at
64.1 and on the week showed a net
advance of IT points. The weeks

CAMP LEJEUNE, June 30
Master Gunnery Sergeant Lou Dia-
mond, The Honker," probably the
best known Leatherneck in the
world and the one about whom per-
haps more legends have been told
than any other Marine, is now on
duty here, upon transfer from Par
ris Island, where he had been sta
toned for more than year fol-
lowing his return from overseas.
"Old Lou'' arrived without the
goatee which he cultivated while
in the South Pacific with the First
Marine Division. An expert with
mortars, he and his crew served
with distinction on Guadalcanal.
When he was officially commanded
by Gen. A. A. Vandergrift, now
commandant of the corps, the rest
OF the Fifth Marine reg ment stood
at attention in parade uniforms, but
Lou wore old dungarees.
Looking the general straight in
the face, he remarked: Il landed
