Airline Stocks Rise,
Other Groups Join
In Broad Decline
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-Rising
prices for airline stocks contrasted
with broad decline in the bal
ance of the market today.
Much of the selling pressure
was centered on the radio televi-
sion group, where losses ran to
a point or so. Declines elsewhere
were mostly fractional, few top

Heavy trading in airline issues
accompanied gains of around u
point. Demand was stimulated by
the excellent 1949 earnings re-
port of American Airlines.
American Woolen grabbed the
spotlight for a while. The COM
mon opened 65s lower at "a on
a block of 10000 shares. rejecting
news Of skipped dividend and
poor earnings released after the
close yesterday. The initial sale
was not made until around 10:45,
as buyers and sellers argued over
a price. The extreme loss was
cut in later trading. The pre-
ferred stock lost around points.
Aside from specialized instances,
the market still operated under
the cloud of the coal strike and
traders showed little taste for TAX
ing strong position
Gains were posted for Pan
American Always, American Air
lines, United Air Lines, Eastern
Air Lines, Transcontinental &
Western Air, General Instrument,
international Telephone, Fem

States Gypsum.
On the losing side were United

u. N. Working on Plans
10 End Wnr in Korea

LAKE SUCCESS. July 4 (P1.-
Top-level United Nations officials
worked through the July Fourth
holiday today on a plan to CO.
ordinate U. N. action to end the
Korean war.
Offices were manned on q Skele-
ton basis as most of the secre-
tariat took the holiday off.
The Security Council is ex-
pected to meet again Thursday to
consider the coordination plan
on which details have still to be
worked out.
The strong protest note from
Communist North Korea yester-
day against what it called Amer
lean aggression in Korea brought
no reaction. The Soviet call fol
withdrawal of U. N.-indorsed
troops in South Korea came long
after U. N. Offices closed last night
Some officials said privately the
North Korean note was what they
could expect and it changed
nothing. The Soviet statement
made by Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei A. Gromyko was certain tc
get serious study.
The U. N. begins today q news
bulletin service for Korea to be
broadcast over the British Broad
casting Corp. and the Voice OF
America. The program opens and
closes with a statement that rep
resentatives of governments with
more than billion population are
backing the U. N. effort to end
the Korean war.

U. s. Surplus Potatoes
May Go for Making
OF Synthetic Rubber

Some of the country's stand by
synthetic rubber plants may be re-
activated soon to Stockpile an
additional supply of rubber-and
thereby provide an outlet for sur
plus potatoes the Government has
started dumping again.
The move to reactivate the rub
ber plants has been spurred on
by the critical Far Eastern situa-.
ton. Officials are fearful that a
general war emergency might
catch this country without a suf-
f1cient stockpile Of artificial
rubber.
One of the basic ingredients of
synthetic rubber is alcohol and
one of the best sources of alcohol
is potatoes-hence the prospective
outlet for surplus potatoes.
More than 95 per cent of the
worlds crude rubber supply comes
from the Far East. 1t is to con-
serve this dwindling supply That
the Reconstruction Finance Corp.
is considering opening up one or
more of its synthetic plants to
add from $4,000 to 10000 long
tons to the Governments supply.
Under the Office of Rubber Re-
serve, an RFC division. the Gov
ernment now owns 10 synthetic
rubber plants. eight Of which turn
out general purpose synthetic
rubber.
