doing, and can do in voluntary
planning for the most effective
use of available manpower during

angles: Placing the responsibility

Stock Market Moves
Ahead Cautiously, but
Enthusiasm Is Absent
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-There
was a cautious forward movement
in the stock market today but it
was devoid of enthusiasm.
Gains went beyond a dollar in
some cases. For the most part,
however, they were counted in
cents. Losses-and there were
plenty of them-were restricted
to under dollar generally.
Steels met early selling pressure
with price recessions that at
tracted enough buying to put
them back up again.
Rails started out slowly in
seeming disregard of the fact that
the railroads were still opera ting
but under Government direction.
Losses were only few cents, but
those on the upside had only
slightly more generous gains.
Today's inactivity and small
price changes contrasted markedly
with Fridays humping losses
that broke five-week advance
after the Korean war tumbled the
market.
Wall Street liked President Tru-
mans reported stand on imposi-
ton of an excess profits tax.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Illi-
nois, after a White House call
said the President wants the tax
studied before it is enacted at a
later date.
Stocks on the advancing side
included Union Pacific, Southern
Pacific. Twentieth Century Fox,
American Woolen, Philip Morris,
American Can, Dow Chemical,
American Cyanamid, American
Smelling, Kennecott Copper, Re-
public Steel, Sharon Steel (still
rejecting so per cent stock div
idend announcement), Sears Roe
buck. Boeing, Lockheed and Dis
tillers Corp. Seagrams.
Lower were United States Steel,
United States Rubber, Schenley
(new), Admiral Corp, Emerson
Radio. Radio Corp, Zenith, Allied
Chemical (old), Union Carbide
General Electric, Texas Co., and
American Airlines.
