Selected Stocks Gain
But Many Leaders

By Victor Eubonk
Associoted Press FinaneioI Writer

NEW YORK, Mar. s.-Selected
stocks attracted support in today's
market on the idea Fridays sharp
est relapse in four months had been
overdone but many leaders continued
to seek losing territory.
The list negotiated a series of dips
and rallies after fairly fast OPEN
ing. Activity, however, generally
was on the downside. While modest
plus signs held here and there near
the close, declines of fractions to a
point or more were widespread.
Transfers for. the two-hour session
ran around 100000 shares.
In the resistant area were Inter-
national Harvester, Du Pont, Cen
eral Electric, Westinghouse, Ana
conda, Kennecott and New York
Central.
Laggards included United States
Steel, Chrysler, Goodyear, Good
rich. Montgomery Ward, Woolworth,

Union Carbide, Eastman Kodak,
United States Gypsum, Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, Southern Pacific
and Southern Railway.
Rumors were heard of foreign
selling from countries pressed for
dollar exchange, but these were not
verified. Professionals still account
ed for most market operations.
Some short covering by quick-turn
traders provided props for individ-
ual issues. Bearish arguments
again centered on the cloudy inter-
national situation, highlighted by
President Truman's call for a con-
gressional conference Monday, FORE
casts by some economists of a busi-
