killings were added today to the
woes of Brooklyn police, already in
the midst OF drastic shakeup Or
dered by Mayor William ODwyer
and Police Commissioner Arthur w
Wallander as a result of eight un-
solved gang murders.
In one of the two shootings yes
terday. Edward O'Connor, 80, a
publishing firm salesman, was killed
by a man who attempted to gain
entrance to a bar and grill, police
said.
AS the intruder argued with the
bartender who was letting Gus
toners out of the bar at the 3 am.
closing hour, Mr.. o'Connor walked
toward them and said. Why don't
you 80 out of here?"
Killer Communicated Cab.
In answer, the stocky youth drew
a pistol and shot Mr.. O'Connor in
the chest, police said. The killer
ran from the bar to a cab and
forced the driver at gunpoint to
drive away from the scene. The
driver narrowly missed being killed
when he jumped from the cab at
high speed and was shot at by the
killer, who fled after the cab
crashed.
The other man shot was James
Mccormack. 81. who was killed on
the front stoop of his Brooklyn
home. Mr.. McCormack's brother
in-law, Everett Sinnott, 46. was ar
rested and charged with homicide

arrest of two men who had coerced

Recovery Extended
By Stock Exchange,
But Session Is Slow
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 19-The stock
market extended its recovery move
today in another slow session.
Industrial shares proved better
performers although most price
changes were limited to fractions.
After a fairly active operfng the
pace became ieisurely, but improve
ment in most sections of the list was
we'll maintained near the fourth
hour.
Bidding was attributed largely to
professionals seeking profits on
technical comeback following recent
declines. Brokers reported some
optimism was stirred by the reversal
of upward spirals in commodity
prices. Doubts over effects of foreign
developments and wage and price
questions persisted.
Prominent in the upturn were
Republic Steel. Youngstown Sheet,
Chrysler, Goodyear. Goodrich. East
ern Air Lines, North American,
American Water Works, American
Smelling, Union Carbide, Philip
Morris (on an extra dividend
declaration), Santa Fe. New York
