After Dark
When Rocco Rocks That Piano
The Place Rocks Right with Him

The hardest working entertain
er in town right now is a volatile
man named Maurice Rocco. Mr..
Rocco could be a stevedore and
do less work. If, he could bottle
up the energy he expends on the

Rocco in Stockholm. come to

solid jazz beat, both vocally and
fundamentally. He manages to
|infuse Drummer AL Dunn and
|Bassist Benny Fonnville with this
|fervor, too, and things get pretty
wild before they wind up a session
ION the Merry Lands bandstand.

Steel Stocks Rally,
Other Groups Fail
To Follow Lead
By Roder Winaet


NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Demand
for steels pushed those issues
higher in the stock market today.
but the rest of the list didn't fol-
low the lead.
Fractional gains were scat
tered throughout the steel group
in active trading. Elsewhere
there was a mixture of gains and
losses.
Their popularity followed ru-
morS of a possible break in the
steel strike today. Philip Murray,
steel union head and chief of the
C1O, plans to make a statement
in Cleveland this afternoon at
the CIO national convention.
Railroads were backward with
fractional losses. The strikes have
made inroads on rail earnings.
Chrysler, which has advanced
nearly 4 points in the past two
days, reacted today to profit
taking. 1t fell backward after
opening strength that took it to
another new high for the year.
Some of the gold mining issues
added fractions, a habit they have
every time there is a whisper about
the possibility of an increase in
the price of gold or any govern
mental development that would
add to imitation tendencies.
Stocks going higher included
Gulf Oil. Johns Manville, United
States Gypsum, American Can,
Du Pont, Dow Chemical, McIn-
tyre-Porcupine, Dome Mines,
Homestake Mining, Kennecott
Copper, Consolidated Edison,
Woolworth, Goodrich, Youngstown
Sheet & Tube, Bethlehem and
Jones & Laughlin.
Lower were United States Rub
ber (after a disappointing earn
lngs report), Douglas Aircraft,
United Aircraft, Philco Radio, Al
lied CHI mical, Westinghouse,
Philip Morris, Nickel Plate, Union
Pacific and Santa Fe.
