NEW YORK, June "a - @ -
Widespread union walkouts follow
ing the Senate's overriding of the
labor bill veto today touched Oft
the sharpest stock market reaction
since midway.
The direction was moderately
downward from the start as profit
cashing on the recent recovery APP
peared in virtually all depart
ments. Selected rails and indus
trials led a mild comeback be-
fore midday which failed to hold.
Selling became relatively heavy
in the final hour, slackening a bit
todward the close. Motors and
steels were soft and losses gen
orally ranged from / to 3 or more
points. Transfers Of 1000, 600
shares compared with $50. 600 Mon
day.
Early offerings by professionals
and brokerage customers stemmed
partly from the thought that the
Senate's action had been pretty
well discounted marketwise.
Belief that the recent bulge may
have served as a normal tech
nical correction Of the spring re-
treat also inspired much caution.
Word that about 200, 900 coal min
ers had quit work intensified
bearishness. Timid short cover
ing and investment demand fail
ed to halt the slide.

Pacts With Soviet Checked

By the Associoted Press

State Department officials delved
today into this country's l3-year-old
Russian recognition compact to de-
termine whether the United States
must require an objecting Soviet
citizen to return to his native land.
The search, centered on possible
extradition agreements, began when
Russia asked the department to
launch a manhunt for Kirill
Alekseev, who blasted his homeland
as "the hell of dictatorship" after
walking out of a trade mission job
in Mexico and deciding to stay in
America.
In New York, Martin Richmond,
the attorney through whom the
Soviet citizen issued his first criti-
cism of Russia, asserted the En-
bassys action followed "a well worn
Soviet pattern" of minimizing the
Importance of an individual, then,
when word comes from Moscow,
accuse him of whatever crime is
handiest."
In prepared statement using
the spelling of the Russians name
preferred by him.. Mr.. Richmond
said:
MFR. Alexeiev emphatically denies
any charges of financial or other
Irregularities and states that they
are fantastic concoctions OF the

Pan American Plea
Attacked by WA
As Hearing Reopens
BY the Associated Press

A Civil Aeronautics Board hear
ing on the application of Pan Ameri-
can Airways for domestic routes to
connect its 13 international termi-
mails reopened today with an attack
on the plan by E. o. Cooke, Trans
World Airline vice president.
Pan American can offer no inn
provements or new services which
are not already being offered OF
planned by present domestic car
riers," Mr.. Cooke said as the holiday
recess in the hearings ended. Using
Pan Americans traffic estimate, he
added that the international line
would divert $25, ,000,0 a year from
TWAS domestic operations in 1949
Gives Three Reasons.
Mr.. Cooke said TWA opposed Pan
Americans proposal for high-speed
non stop services linking major
cities along the Nations borders for
three reasons:
l. There is no public need for
additional carriers on any OF these
domestic routes.
Q. Pan American would be so
large, if its application were grant
ed, that this fact alone would make
competition difficult in both inter-
national and domestic operations.
8. "It is not in the public interest
for any carrier to be authorized to
operate nonstop routes on top Of
the intermediate stop routes of
other carriers"
Opposed by Other Lines.
MIR. Cooke said Pan Americans
widely advertised proposal was MOTH
ing new to major domestic carriers,
who were presently planning i'm
proved services, which will begin
as rapidly as equipment becomes
available.
A dozen other domestic airlines
are opposing the Pan American ap-
plication on the grounds of a threat
ened revenue diversion and duplicat-
ing services. Pan American has
been supported, however, by cities
which now are terminals on its in
ternational routes.
