Radio-N Stocks Rise;
Most Other Issues
Drift in Groove
sy the Assoe;o.ed Press

NEW YORK. April 14.-Radio-
television stocks shot ahead of a
narrow market today.
In heavy trading TV issues
gained as much as 3 points or so.
The balance of the market-with
a few exceptions-coasted along
in a narrow price groove. The
rail group was one of the few
under pressure.
Traders had a variety of excel
lent business reports to work over
but vigorous profit taking sales
effectively spiked a further rise.
The market currently is around a
|3l2-year peak.
A lush earnings statement issued
by Admiral Corp. late yesterday
evidently spanked renewed de-
mand for TV shares. Admiral
jumped ahead 314 yesterday and
gained more than 2 today at one
time before falling back a bit.
Motorola started off ~ points
up at 46 when a block of 1000
shares changed hands. The ex-
treme gain was later pared.
Allied Chemical raced ahead of
the pack with an opening gain of
IA points at 239 on a trade of l 500
shares. Most of the advance was
retained. A proposal to split the
stock on the basis of four shares
for one was made after the close
yesterday.
Also up were Emerson Radio,
Philco, Radio Corp, Avco, Mag
navox, International Telephone,
Bethlehem Steel, Consolidated
Edison. Air Reduction. Eastman
Kodak. American Can. American
Tobacco and Johns-Manville.
T Lower were Santa Fe, Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, Southern Rail-
way, Chesapeake & Ohio, United
States Steel. General Motors,
Chrysler, United States Rubber,
Montgomery Ward. Douglas Air
craft, American Telephone, Phelps
Dodge. Dow Chemical, General
Electric, Standard Oil of New
Jersey, Gulf Oil and United
States Gypsum.
Corporate bonds moved mar
rowly. United States Govern
ment issues held steady in over
the-counter dealings.

Charles w. Stickney said yester-
day nobody was ordered to at
tend the April meeting in st.

Marketing Administration COM
mitteemen at which Secretary OF
Agriculture Brannan spoke.
Mr.. Stickney is State PIMA
chairman. He described state
ments by Senators Aiken. Repub-
lican, of Vermont and Ferguson.
Republican, Of Michigan that Az
riculture Department funds were
used to hire" an audience as "ab-
solutely ridiculous"
THE whole thing is so ridicul-
Gus I am not particularly anxious
to discuss it," Mr.. Stickney said
| in a telephone interview.
These people (the PIMA COM
mitteemen) certainly are entitled
to hear the Secretary of Agricul-
ture and the administrators dis
cuss their problem with them.
These community committee
men only work five or six days Q
year. There is no question about
the justification for having them
understand the programs they are
charged with administering.
THE people who now criticize"
he added. ARE the very ones ask
/ ing that these programs be admin
istered at the grass roots.
"They can't talk out OF both
sides of their mouths at once.
IF they believe in having the
program administered by the
grass roots people. they should be
willing to have them understand
and be told about them. at least
by the Secretary OF Agriculture.

them her way, they in theirs.
For her way of singing she has
the greatest and most contagious
enthusiasm of modern times. 1t
is all right that she has not n
great voice. She has one that can
splash acid into syrupy ballad
or Sweeten a song that is sharp
or tart. If an aSide-perhaps a
greeting to an old friend in the
audience-occurs to her, she in
jectS it into the lyrics. 1t is basic
in a whole series of such tricks
she uses to entertain large rooms
full of people.

AS in the supper clubs, where
the congregation usually views
her across a table full of lately
used dishes, Hildegarde brings the
audience into her summer theater
act.
No entertainer can cast her per-
formance with such celebrated
amateurs. or as in the case of Faye
Emerson last night, another pro-
feSsional. This involves diStribut-
ing roses and chastely affectionate
kisses to the carefully chosen.
Last night these included a for
eign ambassador, the counsellor
of a major nations embassy, a
former prima ballerina in Europe
and a dentist who apparently
travels more than your dentist or
ours.
The big professional star
of the evening, however, was none
of these. He was rather Gen. Omar
N. Bradley, who got the eve
ning's great ovation, and whose
presence proves that everyone
goes to see Hildegarde. And to
see who else came to see Hide
garde.
The surprise which she and the
theater feel for each other only
adds to the drama of it all.

the original foreword to "All
Quiet On the Western Front" has
been discarded. So has the docu-
mentary stuff tackled on the 1890
reissue when it was released again
IN 1898. Several groups. by the
way, are protesting the current
reissue, on the score that the
movie will not help enlistment.
