Give Up Part Of Gains
After Truman Speaks
By tho Assneintsd Prsss

NEW YORK, Mar. 17.-Aircraft
issues which led an early stock mar
ket rally gave up part of their gains
today after President Truman's
message to Congress.
Steels and rails had joined the
aircraft shares in advances ranging
to more than two points. First re-
action in Wall Street indicated
some surprise over lack of specific
armament recommendations. Many
sections of the list Ieveled off some
what after the Chief Executives ap-
peal for manpower draft The
quotation tape slowed frequently
after initial activity. Near the
fourth hour plus signs continued ii,
the majority.
Financial circles found nothing
unexpected in Mr. Truman's state
ment that America must make its
position clear in military as well as
economic terms. His stand for uni
versal military training and quick
approval of European aid was in line
with previous expressions. Brokers
pointed out the Presidents speech
found the market in the neighbor-
hood of its 1948 low, where the
tendency was toward recovery, and
this was aided by some short cover
ing. Restraining any sharp move
were the shutdowns in coal mines
and packing houses.
