Stocks at New Hiqh,
With Auto Shares
Leading Advance
BY The Associated Press

NEW YORK, May 6.-The stock
market drove through heavy oppo-
sition this week and finished at
q new high for the current rise.
Radio television issues, which
staged brilliant advance earlier
this year. were notable exceptions.
All or most showed sizable losses
from a week ago.
In Saturdays two-hour session
automobile stocks were in heavy
demand with Chrysler an out
standing favorite. TV issues made
a try at higher price levels but
there was not enough buying
power to sustain the advance.
The market functioned against
q background of highly encourag-
ing news. Almost the only un-
favorable estimates came from
from the radio television and tex
tile industries.
Optimism Prevails.
The prevailing sentiment in the
business community was ex-
pressed time and again at scores
Of annual stockholder meetings
Business is prosperous now and
will continue prosperous for an
indefinite period.
Strength in auto stocks re-
solved around settlement of the
l00-day strike against Chrysler,
shat company's quarterly earn
ings statement and dividend, and
General Motors record profits for
the first quarter.
The immediate response in
Chrysler common to the end of
the strike was a one-point decline.
On Friday and Saturday, the stock
bounced up total of four points
10 II, the highest price in the
history of the company after al
iowance for several stock split
ups.
Although Chrysler lost money in
the March quarter because of the
strike, directors voted the usual
dividend.
General Motors common gave
somewhat grudging response to
the quarterly report that estab-
lished new records for the company
for profits, sales and production.
The price moved up 7s to 857s, a
shade under the 1850 peak.

enced by management comment
to the effect that operations cam
not be expected to continue in

GIN stock, too. may have been
held back because the company
still faces union negotiations for a
new contract.
Radio television stocks had their
wings clipped short for the first
time since they started the f1nan-
cial district with their high flying
antics early this year.
Talk that a summer decline in
sales, which had been expected,
had arrived ahead of time was
brought to focus in mid-week by

ROME, Feb. 21-Italy is VIM

and the lowest average income in
Western Europe.
The Red leadership has played
and lost its two best cards-labor

Anti Communist opposition is
moving ahead with a program of
currency stabilization and postwar
reconstruction which has gone far
to wipe out the hopelessness and

SABBATH Asks Truman
To Take Another Look
Al Electoral Change
BY the As,ocioted Press

President Truman was urged
today by one Of his congressional
leaders to take another look at
proposed constitutional amend
ment to abolish the electoral COL
lege.
Chairman SABBATH Of the House
Rules Committee told reporters
he has written the President to
point out that the proposal might
give the South much greater
power than it now possesses"
A resolution embodying the pro-
posed amendment has been passed
by the Senate and now is in the
House Rules Committee.
Advantage for South.
It would abolish the electoral
plan Of choosing the President
and Vice President and give each
candidate for those Offices an
electoral vote in each state in pro-
portion to the popular vote cast
for the candidate. The constitu-
ton now gives the entire electoral
vote of state to the candidate
receiving the larges popular vote.
The loser gets nothing.
II have heard it expressed" Mr..
SABBATH wrote the President, that
in close election, 1t would give
the South a tremendous advantage
and perhaps make possible its
welding the balance of power"
Mr.. SABBATH concluded with the
observation that II fear that the
Legislation is not for the best in

Gratis in heavy Republican-voting

Some spokesmen for organized

posal. They fear it would weaken
their political prestige in industrial
States which go Democratic by
slight margins with the aid of
