Stocks Turn Upward, ,

Lead Broad Rise
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK. Mar. 3.-Demand
for stocks took a turn for the
better near mid-session and prices
advanced over a wide front.
The market once more showed
little concern over the coal strike,
still unsettled and rapidly reach
ing the crisis stage.
Steels and motors spearheaded
the advance with gains of frac-
tions to around a point. Progress
elsewhere was limited mostly to
small fractions.
Business picked up speed as the
market moved ahead although
total volume was nothing to get
excited about.
Trading caution was still very
much in evidence. Some demand,
though, was generated by the be-
lief that the Government will
seize the coal mines and the min
ers go back to work. Negotiations
between the miners union and
the operators were apparently
still deadlocked.
Higher prices were paid for

NewCommunist Effort
To Ban Coca-CoIa in
France Is Spiked
By the Associated Press

PARIS, Mar. 3.-New Com
munist efforts to bar Coca-Cola
in France were spiked yesterday.
Two days ago the National AS
sembly passed bill giving Health
Minister Pierre Schneiter author
ity to ban any harmful drinks
made out of vegetable extracts.
The bill was aimed at Coca-Cola.
but it did not specify it by name.
The bill had the support Of
French wine growers and the
Communists. The latter failed
to get an amendment passed
which would have specifically put
Coca Cola on the blacklist.
Yesterday the health minister.
Parliament's Beverage Commit
tee and deputy from the wine
growing country of Bordeaux
stepped into the situation.
The committee got new
proposal to outlaw cokes from
Communist Deputy Antonin Gros.
The committee turned that one
into vague request for "neces-
sary measures" from the cabinet.
Final action would be left to
Mr.. Schneiter, who let it be known
he wasn't going TO do anything
even if Parliament as a whole
passes the original measure. The
upper house of Parliament has
yet to act on the bill.
Socialist Deputy Raymond
Guyon from the growing
area of Bordeaux gave the COM
mittee new bill asking the cab
met to take measures to protect
the interests of wine growers,
French industry and the national
economy. Under this bill the
cabinet need not act unless it sees
fit.
James A. Farley, former ma
tional Democratic chairman and
/ chairman of the Coca-Cola Export
Corp, said Wednesday in New
York that the action to bar cokes
amounted to political shenani-
gans."
