Rail Stocks Improve
lin Otherwise, Uneven
And Quiet Market
BY N. A..eeie,sd Pres.

NEW YORK, June 18.-Railroad
stocks showed additional small i'm.
provement In todays otherwise ir-
regular and lightly traded market.
The long upward trend Of the oil
stocks appeared broken for the mo-
ment at least as this group followed
the generally muddled price pattern.
Aircraft stocks, including trans
portation and manufacturing, soft
ened, with losses of a point or so
posted for such prominent carriers
as United Air Lines, which was in
volved in a bad crash yesterday, and
Douglas, makers of the plane which
was lost with 43 lives. Eastern Air
Lines, American and Trans-World
also gave ground.
Railroad issues, which paced the
market Thursday when many hit
new high prices for the year or
longer, continued to improve. but at
hating pace. Higher in this group
were st. Paul, Southern Railway,
Baltimore g. Ohio, Chesapeake &
Ohio and Kansas City Southern.
The long-popular oils were a bit
droopy with the major exception of
Plymouth, up more than 3 points
at one time.

Tired Conferees Hunt
Way Out Of Deadlock
On G|obaI Aid Funds
BY ths Asseciotsd Press

Sixteen talk-weary lawmakers
looked for a formula today to
break their deadlock over how
many billions this country will
spend on its global aid program.
The seven Senator and nine House
member conferees scheduled an
other session at pm. to battle
again for q compromise figure COW
ering funds for the European Re-
covery Program and aid to Greece,
Turkey and China.
Neither group would retreat in a
four -hour conference yesterday.
They came out without a single
major agreement, as hopelessly
deadlocked as when they began
their talks.
The administration had asked S.
S33, ,710,228 to finance the program
But the House voted to put it on
a 15-month instead of a 12-month
basis and cut about ST 433, ,000, ,000
OF the first years spending.
The Senate took issue with the
House by restoring the program to
IL months and putting back about
81, ITS, ,0O0,0 900 of the House cuts.
At Odds on All Fundamentals.
Chairman Bridges of the Senate
Appropriations Committee, who
heads the Senate conferees, said
there had been progress on some
phases of the bill, "but we have not
reached an agreement on any Of the
fundamental issues"
This Is not the only billion dollar
item in dispute between the Senate
and House. A new one arose last
night over funds for the Army. Air
Force and related defense agencies.
The Senate by voice vote ap-
proved q $6,915, ,676, ,052 total-$405,-
1877 ,052 more than the House figure.
So now that bill must go to, a Sem
ate House conference to iron out
differences.
The major portions-$5,924,3 1865 ,o52
goes to the Army to build up its
ground forces. The Air Force Is
ticketed for 1904 ,S11 900. Lesser sums
are earmarked for the National Sc
curity Council, the National Security
Resources Board, National Guard,
Reserve Omcers' Training Corps
and Organized Reserves.
Navy Fund Bill Completed.
Earlier, the Senate and House
completed congressional action on q
Navy fund bill by approving a COM
promise figure of $3,749 ,059 ,259-
which Is $l7a,679,441 less than the
Navy asked.
The approved Navy funds include
money to build a 65,000-ton aircraft
carrier-the largest ever-that will
cost $127, ,000, 900.
Gen. Bradley, Army Chief of Staff
and Secretary OF the Army Royal
asked the Senate committee to re-
store $492. .000, 900 OF the $500, 900 900
cut by the House from the Army
Air Force bill.
They argued the restoration is
necessary If the Army is to carry
out It's planned defense program.
Mr.. Royal said the heavy House
cut would mean that two divisions
would not be ready to fight If D-day
should arrive"
However, the Senate group did not
see fit to go all the way with the
military chiefs.
