Selected Stocks Rise
On Sluggish Market;
Others Go 10 Sleep
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Assorted
stocks, including aircrafts, con-
tinued to edge forward in today's
market while many leaders went
to steep at slightly lower levels.
The inflationary prop provided
by the cashing of veterans terminal
leave bonds and State bonuses, was
offset to some extent by persistent
apprehension over international
economic affairs and the possibility
that the dwindling of exports would
eventually hit domestic business.
Hopes. for a fall rally, however,
again inspired mild short cover
ing and investment bidding.
Dealings we're relatively sluggish
from the start and the direction a
bit foggy near the fourth hour.
The newly split Norfolk g. West
ern made its initial appearance on
the downside, but Nickel Plate pre-
ferred jumped about 4 points on a
few sales. Occasional resistance was
exhibited by United States Steel, Re-
public Steel, Chrysler, General Mo-
tors, Woolworth, Great Northern
Railway, United Paperboard ION an
earnings statement) and Deere
Fractions to a point or more were
added by United Aircraft, Boeing
Douglas Aircraft, Glenn Martin and
Sperry.
Intermittent laggards were Pack
ard Motors, which came out on one
l4,300-share block; Bohn Aluminium,
Du Pont, Standard Oil of New Jer-
sey, Southern Pacific, Pennsylvania
Railroad. American Telephone, Ken
necott, Dow Chemical and Union
Carbide.
Bonds were narrow.

officials predicted yesterday
the United States will take the
strongest possible political meas
ures to condemn and, If possible,
modify what some privately call
Russia's ''bare-faced grab of the
government of Hungary.
Some economic measures also may
be employed.
It appeared unlikely that the
United States would be able to &C
complish much, however, since Hun
gary is occupied by Soviet troops
and completely in the Soviet zone of
domination in Eastern Europe.
One of the first American actions
is expected to be consultation with
the British government early this
week. Britain shares with the
United States and Russia respon-
sibility for carrying out the Hun
garian armistice agreement.
The United States is virtually GER
tain to charge the Soviets with open
violation of the armistice. Study
is also being given to possible charges
of violations of the Yalta agree
