Foreign Ministers Beyin, Schu-
man, Spaak. Pearson and Bech
were entertained yesterday at the
British, French, Belgian, Cana
dian Embassies and Luxembourg
Legation respectively, at lunch
cons. cocktail parties and dinners
But no word was forthcoming
from any of the embassies as to
who was invited to meet them.
The diplomatic spotlight Of the
world is on the all-important con-
ference here and the doings of
the men who sign the North
Atlantic pact today. However
who they have talked to at in
formal parties arranged for that
purpose remains a matter of con-
lecture.
Such is not the case, though
with another Foreign Minister who
was in Washington yesterday.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs
of Ell Salvador and Sonora de Ur-
ouia stopped in the Capital en-
route to New York to attend the
General Assembly and the Ambas-
sador of El Salvador and Sonora
de Castro gave an afternoon party
for them. The Foreign Minister
will be chairman of the Salvador
can delegation to the U. N. and
Or. Rene Padilla y Velasco, who
was also at the Embassy affair
Yesterday, will be one of the dele
gates.
The buffet offered a substantial
and savory Sunday evening sup
per to the guests at this 6-to-8
party.

cio Nabuco, the Turkish Ambassa-
dor and Nine. Erkin, the South
African Ambassador and Mrs.

Stock Leaders SWinq
Upward at Opening,
But Soon Level Off

NEW YORK. July 27.-Rising
tendencies in the stock market
didn't get very far today.
At the opening it seemed likely
that the market might make fresh
progress on it's summer rally but
opposition soon developed.
A good many leading stocks re-
tanned all or part of their initial
advances. Others either backed
down a bit or seesaWed between
the plus and minus columns.
Gains and losses we're pretty close
ly balanced.
Business was brisk a good part
of the session. with turnover sWol-
len by couple of good-sized deals
in Commonwealth & Southern.
The markets response to U. S.
Steel Corps dividend and earn
ings, announced after the close
of business yesterday. approached
the zero mark. Big steel opened
unchanged at 1898 on a block of
4 900 shares. Later sales were made
at 1914 and 23l2. A fair amount
of trade was done in the issue.
Corporate earnings reports
again attracted considerable at
tention-many of them were i'm
pressively better than anticipated
but they seemed to have little
influence on the overall price
trend.
Higher prices were paid for Re-
public Steel, Packard, Goodyear,
Goodrich. Montgomery Ward ,
Western Union, Kennecott Copper,
Phelps Dodge, Dow Chemical,
Johns-M anville. U. S. Gypsum, In
ternational Paper. Brooklyn Union

Bethlehem Steel. Studebaker.
Sears Roebuck. Caterpillar Trac-
tor, Consolidated Natural Gas.
American Can, Philip Morris,
Southern Pacific. Union Pacific
and Eastern Air Lines.
In London government securi-
ties slumped for the third sue
cessive day.
About ESQ 900 900 (sl20, O00. 0o0)

of government issues in the first
