Selected Stocks Gain,

By Victor Eubonk
Associofed Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Mar. 13.-Selected
stocks continued on better than an
even keel today although many
market leaders did little or nothing.
Dealings slowed after a moder-
ately active opening and mild ir-
regularity persisted until around
midday when prices stiffened here
and there. Gains of fractions to a
point or so predominated near the
fourth hour.
Both speculative and investment
forces were notably cautious pend
ing more definite conclusions re-
garding the administrators new
foreign porgram. Bidding by pro-
fessionals again was based partly
on the idea a good technical recov-
cry was in the cards. Doubters
regarding taxes and business held
aloof or trimmed accounts.
Attracting support were U. S.
Steel, Republic Steel, Chrysler,
Montgomery Ward, Boeing, Amer
lean Smelling, Dow Chemical,
Union Carbide, Eastman Kodak,
Owens Illinois, U. S. Gypsum, Burl-
