Market AVERAGES

up this theory is that for weeks
big money has been buying stocks
and the little fellow selling. The
larger interests are not infallible
by a long shot-but investment
trusts, estates and other large
pools of money are managed by
the shrewdest men in the busi-
ness, men who usually have a
financial maturity which the little
investor frequently lacks.
The market took a lot of bad
news and a lot of good news in
it's stride during the week.
Government statements on the
economic state of the Union
(they're often absorbed with a
good sized pinch of salt in Wall
Street, were good to excellent,
almost without qualification. Cor
poration executives. reporting to
stockholders. were mostly inclined
to appraise 1949 with more than
a touch of optimism, although
granting that the high marks of
194S probably would not be
matched.
Jobless Increase Watched.
On the debit side of the news
ledger were such items as rise
in unemployment to a peak since
March, 1912, and another drop in
department store sales.
What did all the conflicting re-
ports. predictions and operating
statistics add up to?
| !. Wall Street, talking through the
market, seemed to think that
business was not going to the
dogs with rush. Analysts saw
too many influences at work,
either already supporting eco
nomic activity or ready to be
thrown into the breach by Gov
eminent edict if business should
slow down too abruptly.
This view. though, was not held
with absolute conviction. There
was always the possibility that a
minor showdown could SNOWFALL
out of control. The influential
monthly letter of the National
City Bank summed up prevailing
opinion this way:
From this point of view April
will be significant month.
IF employment fails to show a
vigorous rise and trade and mar
ketS register no Improvement. the
disappointment is likely to pro-
duce a fresh wave of hesitation
and slackening"

Stock Values Boosted
More Than Billion
In Weeks Advance
BY the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 5.-The stock
market took the largest stride
ahead this week since the first
week of the year.
More than $1,OOO,OO0,oO0 was
added to the quoted value of all
stocks listed on the Stock Ex-
change.
But-the volume of trading
added up to one of the smallest
figures in months.
Not until today's short session
did the market give an encourag-
ing sign that a sustained forward
move might be in the making. In
two hours of trading the general
price level managed one of the
years sharpest advances-it was
sharp, however. only in contrast
with recent timid movements.
Noteworthy. though, according
to market strategiSts, were the
enlarged volume of trading and
the fact that so-called pivotal
stocks spearheaded the move.
Gains of fractions to moroe than
a point were posted for such stall
warts as United States Steel, Beth
lehem Steel, American Telephone,
Santa Fe. Union Pacific, Standard
Oil New Jersey, United States
Rubber, American Can, General
Electric and Eastman Kodak.
Spurted on Monday.
Last Monday the market spurted
for one of the snappiest gains in
weeks, but volume, except for
very short time. didn't amount to
much. Next day buying interest
soon puffed out. =
On Wednesday. Thursday and
Friday prices backed and filed
In fractional range.
Whether or not the Saturday
rise is forerunner of substan-
tial rise remains to be seen, of
course. But the belief has steadily
gained ground in Wall Street that
the market has maneuvered itself
into a position from which a de-
cisive upward trend could de-
velop.
Ever since the end of the war
the market has been trying to dis
count, or anticipate, recession.
In the meantime. business made
record profits. paid record divi-
dends-and stocks sold at prices
which gave record yields.
On February 25 the price level
dropped to the lowest in almost a
year as signs multiplied that the
Nations business gauges were
dropping back from the postwar
peaks.

New Healt l, Insur. ance Bill offered To U. $. Senate

WASHINGTON, (P)-Five Sc. ators today offered a new "volun- tary health insurance bill' intend :, ed to make hospital and medical care available to all persons.
 Senator Hill O.-FlaD, one Of tho sponsors, said the new plan, based on state and local controls, is a substitute for what he called the, "compulSory system" advocate Il by President Truman and some members of Congress.
 The bill calls for the use of fed eral funds ''to assist the states to survey, coordinate, supplement and strengthen their existing health resources"
 Besides Hill, the measure is backed by Senators Morse R.- OreD, O'Connor D.-MdD, Withers D.-KyD and Aiken R.-VtD.
 The Alabama Senator said the bill is patterned on the present federal law for assisting states and regions in building hospitals. That act was sponsored in 1914 by Hill and associate justice Burton of the Supreme Court, then a Republican Senator from Ohio.
 Hill said states and communities now are building 700 hospitals un- der that plan and the voluntary health insurance bill twill perform the same service for financing hospital and medical care"
 we believe that the present system of medical care has been too valuable, too effective and too useful through the years, to throw it aside for a new system which might not work" Hill told a re- porter.

49 Modern 49'ers Take Plane For Cruening Hearing

SEATTLE, (P)-A r-engined DC-4 took off at 9:35 am. yester- day morning for Washington with 49 Alaskans on the avoWed mis- sion of seeking admission of Alas ka as the 18th State with Ernest Greuning as its governor. ] Opponents had preceded them i f Washington in smaller num- bers, by regular commercial air lines, to oppose the confirmation of Governor Gruening. Their prin- cipal spokesman is A. H. Ziegler, Ketchikan attorney and member of the Territorial board of educa- ton.
 The main aim of the chartered airliner party members is to testi- fly on behalf of the governor be- fore the Senate interior commit tee. But they also will campaign to have Alaska's star added to the flag, said Stanley McCutcheon, speaker of the Territorial House and delegation spokesman.
 A plane brought A Alaskans to Seattle Sunday. McCutcheon said five from the Seattle area joined them to make up the symbolic 49.
 The plane was scheduled orig inally to take off Monday night, but it's passengers wanted to make the trip by daylight and the ship was delayed for installing over- seas equipment. It will be taken to Amsterdam, Holland, for serv- ice for the United Nations dis placed persons committee. It was scheduled for a stop at Omaha at pm.

LETTERS TELL OF PROGRESS IN LEGISLATURES

Several letters have been re- ceived in recent mails telling of the progress being made by the legislators in Juneau. Due to the fact that this session is the most fully covered session ever held in Juneau, with special representa- tiveS of the Associated Press and United Press, as well as special representation from the Juneau Empire.
 This fact has been reflected in the work of the legislators, as eV- cry member of both houses knows that when they ballot or whatever they say will be known all over Alaska before the next day. As a result all participants are more cautious of what they say and more certain of their facts before speaking than ever before.
 Many of the legislators have ex- pressed appreciation of the inter est in their activities, by the read ing public of Alaska.

Confined from Page One) Tokyo said Macarthur had sub mitted secret report on the American military situation in Japan in view of communist vic tories in China. These dispatches said Macarthur was believed to have asked for more troops and airplanes.

 "He was told it would be inn practical to put more troops over there," Royall said.
 Royall then was asked whether MacArthur had mentioned re- turning to the United States.
 There was no discussion at all about his return" Royall said. "He didn't say anything and I didn't"
