Stock Trends Uneven
|As Doubt Over Labor
And Russia Persists
ey the A,,oeio,,d Pres.

NEW YORK, May 12.-The stock
market backed cautiously away from
its 1948 high point In today's ses-
sion.
Decisive trends were lacking as
traders sought to assess the course
of international affairs in the wake
of the diplomatic exchange with
Russia. Many adopted a "wait-and-
see" attitude.
Additional restraints resulted from
the spreading effects Of the automo-
tive industry's first big strike in
more than two years, and from un-
certainty over the still-unsettled
dispute that led to Government
seizure of the railroads.
The armament-conscious aircraft
shares which slumped yesterday
