Aircraft Stocks Rise
Up 10 7 Points After
Brisk Early Trading
BY The Assoeiated Press

NEW YORK. April l2.-Aircraft
stocks powered a gentle rise in the
market today.
While the main body of stocks
struggled ahead for fractional
gains. aircraft issues climbed
maximum of two points. The ad-
vance started soon after a hesitant
opening when the market seemed
to be searching for a direction.
Heavy turnover developed at the
start but trading enthusiasm
quickly slackened. Nevertheless a
substantial amount OF business
was done.
Today'S comeback followed a
surprise selling attack late yester-
day during which key issues were
chopped down fractions to around
two points. The market quickly
recovered balance and there were
faint signs of a comeback before
the final bell.
Douglas Aircraft paced the
plane section with a two-point
gain. Also up were Boeing, United
Aircraft, Lockheed, Consolidated
Vultee, Republic Aviation, and
Glenn Martin.
Several low-priced shares at
tracted support at fractional ad-
vances. among them Rexall Drug
and Childs.
Others ahead included U. S.
Steel, General Motors, Chrysler,
Sears Roebuck. J. I. Case, Schen-
ley, Admiral Corp, Philco, Ame, :
ican Telephone. Western Union,
Air Reduction, Eastman Kodak
American Tobacco. Santa Fe,
Southern Pacific. Nickel Plate.
Ohio Oil, Johns s-Manville and
Certain Teed.
Corporate bonds hewed to a
narrow price line. United States
Governments held steady in over
the counter dealings.

Bethlehem Production
To Stay al Capacity,
Stockholders Told
BY the Assosicisd Press

WILMINGTON. Del. April IL.
Eugene G. Grace. chairman Of
the board of directors of Bethle-
hem Steel Co.. told stockholders
yesterday that steel business rs
running over theoretical capacity
and added he sees nothing to
indicate this won't continue for
some time"
He described the current back
log as excellent"
Asked about the first quarter
earnings. he replied. They are
satisfactory"
Mr.. Grace indicated the only
unfavorable sign on Bethlehem s
business horizon is the low level
Of operations in its shipbuilding
division. He said the shipbuild-
ing operations are not yet in the
red, but he intimated they were
close to that point.
He said one factor injurious to
Americas shipbuilding industry
is the tremendous activity and
prosperity on a number OF for
eign countries"
Il won't comment at this time
on where they are getting the
money to carry on their ship
building activities" he said
How this is hurting our indus
try lies in the fact that in Eng
land, for example, ships can be
built at half the price of that in
America. This is true of many
Western European countries. I'm
not SO sure that even we may not
have to buy our ships abroad
pretty soon."

Between the Gulbenkian exhibi-

Art, and the Artists Guild show
at the National Museum, Wash
ington art lovers had a big in
ming yesterday. The two openings
attracted thousands.
The eagerly-awaited Gulben.
khan exhibition at the Nationa
Gallery was the magnet for II, ,436
visitors. about twice the usual
Sunday attendance.
Nearly 1000 took in the Artists
Guilds eighth annual exhibition
three blocks up the street at
Tenth street and Constitution
avenue NV. This show will run
daily from 8 am. to 4:30 pm
through october 20.
The National Gallery visitors
were obviously gratified by the
40-painting exhibition in the -four
east wing galleries. They saw o
wide variety of paintings ex-
hibited for the first time in this
country.
Represented were artists like
Rubens, Monet, Van Dyck, Gains
borough, Frans Halls, Rembrandt
and Monet-a our-century PAN
Drama of exquisite art.
Called one of the finest private
collections of the Goth century, il
had been exhibited in London
since 1886 before Carlouste Sarkis
Gulbenkian consented to send il
here.

as his collection. Immensely

/ But on that point they are guess
ing. Every one is guessing. It
is risky business.
There are other statesmen who
believe the three-year timetable

it would be tough to do the things
necessary to arm faster-to the
fact that certain delays are in
escapable-and to an obsolete es-
innate of when Stain would be

the logic Of Stalin's self interest.

finished "beefing up," he would be
facing not alone an atomic force
still vastly greater than his but
a ground force so formidable as
to make it unlikely he would

all, he won't wait. Therefore, If
he waits. he does not intend to
strike.
