Aircraft Stocks Lead
Selective Recovery;

By Victor Eubonk

NEW YORK, Mar. s.-Rising air
craft stocks helped the market to-
day although many leaders refused
to follow.
Dealings slowed after q moder-
ately active opening While ru-
merous losers persisted, gains OF
fractions to a point or so were well
distributed near the fourth hour.
A certain amount Of professional
bidding still was based on the idea
the list had been oversold in Feb
ruary and was due for a spring up
swing. The aviation group again
was buoyed partly by expectations
of big government orders. Business
and wage uncertainties, together
with complicated international af-
fairs, inspired selling. Weakness OF
commodities provided . restraining
factor.
Douglas Aircraft, Grumman and
Lockheed touched peaks for 1915
but eventually slipped from rest
levels. Occasional advancers in
cluded Pacific Western Oil, Great
Northern Railway, General Motors,
American Woolen. Du Pont and r.
ternational Paper.
Intermittent Laggards were Beth
lehem Steel, Chrysler. Goodyear
Woolworth, International Harvester
Paramount Pictures. Loew's Twen-
tieth Century Fox, Standard Oil OF
New Jersey, Allied Chemical and
United States Gypsum. Steels. mo-
tors, rubbers, rails and coppers he'd
to a slim groove.
Bonds were narrow.

phia has just completed the first
phase of a comprehensive "slum
diagnosis" using newly-developed
survey methods.
The study by the Philadelphia
Redevelopment Authority indicates
that the first phase of curing the
city's slums should be rehabilita
tion Of small "cankers" of blight
infection rather than demolition
and rebuilding of entire neighbor-
hoods. Philadelphia slum. diagnosis
involves use of a new survey meth

.Seaway Project
Opposed By WoIl

Washington, D. C. = Matthew
Woll, member of the AFL Execu-
tive Council, declared the proposed
st. Lawrence seawey project is a
threat to jobs of American work
ers.
In a statement inserted in the
Congressional Record" by Senator
Bridges of New Hampshire, Mr..
Woll asserted the project would
benefit Canada at the expense of
American laborers.
The seaway plan, scheduled for
Senate Consideration this month,
calls for construction of a 27-foot
channel and locks from Montreal
to Lake Ontario, together with hy-
dro-electric power plants along
rapids of the st. Lawrence river.
Canada would pay 230 million dol
lars, or less than half the amount
contributed by this country.
Woll declared the project would
build up Montreal as a shipping
point at the expense of American
ports. In addition, he said, jobs of
workers in Uniaed States Trans
portation industries would be
threatened by seaway competition.

European Labor To
Back Aid Plan AL
Brussels Meeting

Miami (ILNS)- Representatives
of trade unions in 16 European
countries will meet in Brussels
next month to map support Of the
Marshall Plan for European recov-
cry. The meeting is expected to
give big impetus to the fight
against Communist expansion and
aggression in Western Europe.
Matthew Woll, head Of the Am
erican Federation of Labor's Inter
national Labor Relations Depart
ment, informed the federation's ex-
ecutive council that invitations to
the conference have been sent out
jointly by organized labor of Bel
gium, Holland and Luxenburg.
The British Trades Union Congress
and the anti-Communist unions Of
France will be represented, he said.
1t is expected steps will be dis
cussed at the meeting for forma-
tion of world organization of free
trade unions in opposition to the
Communist-contr World Fed
Grafton of Trade Unions.
In a report to the council, Woll
branded the WFTU as "the inter-
national labor fifth column Of the
Kremlin." He predicted the "even-
tual collapse and disintegration' of
the WFTU had been brought near
er by the conflict growing out of
Soviet opposition to the Marshall
Plan, the split Of anti Communists
Wrom the French labor movement
iand recent organization of the In
ter-American Confederation of La
Dor at Lima, Peru.
Woll condemned Communist eff
forts to capture the German trade
unions and charged that "blunders"
in American government policy to-
ward German unions were handi-
Gaping the AFL in fighting Sow
let tactics.
"While the Communists are
flooding German workers with
wholesale propaganda" Woll de-
clared, "our government has de-
MED the free trade unions suffi-
cient paper to publish the truth
and expose the false arguments of
the Communists. At the same time,
our government supplies paper for
interior decorating magazines
(where houses have been bombed
to smithereens), and beauty cul-
ture magazines (where there are
not enough calories to go around).
"In Germany our government
continues to hamper the trade un-
ions by not giving them sufficient
recognition in the economic policies
and processes of the nation. This
helps the Communists who boast of
the important roles accorded to
their unions in the Soviet zone"
