BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The
stock market faltered today after
a good start.
Price changes as general rule
were confined to fractions. The
exceptions on the upside were
"a few issues with gains of be-
tween 2 and 3 points at times.

were rising and maintained pace
Ia little better than yesterdays
1.86 million shares.
A narrow mixture of gains and
losses obtained at the start of
trading. Within a short time the
railroads began to advance along
with steels and some chemicals
and oils.
The rise brought out some
proflt-taking, however. and the
list became spotted with minus
signs that took the edge off the
rise.
American Telephone, which lost
a full point yesterday, was down
at the start today but recovered
and posted a small gain.
Baltimore & Ohio, yesterdays
most active issue. and Graham
Paige, second most active, started
out today on large blocks at higher
prices.
Aluminium Co. of America
gained between 2 and 3 points on
a few sales. Directors after the
market closed yesterday voted to
split the stock two for one.
Among other gamers were
Amerada Petroleum, Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, United States
Steel, Bethlehem Steel, Stude-
baker, Sinclair Oil, Gulf Oil
Anaconda Copper, Union Car
bide and Zenith Radio.
Stocks on the Curb Exchange
were quite active and higher gem
orally.
Corporate bonds were a little
lower.

Raps NAT0
For lis Dangerous
Defense Showdown

PARIS, Dec. 19.-Gen. Matthew
B. Ridgway criticized members OF
the North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization today for slowing down
their defense effort.
Il reject as unjustified the dan
gerous view that the potential ag-
greSsors don't want war and won't
precipitate war" he told the
graduating class of NATO's de-
Tense college. I'VE don't know
how long we shall be the Krem-
Inns target, marked for war"
His criticism came less than "a
hours after ministers of the IA
NATO member nations wound UP
meeting in Paris at which they
nearly halved-to 1924 million,
the amount to be spent for top
priority defense works. In so do
ing. they ignored Gen. Ridgway's
own recommendations. They also
failed to approve a military recon-
mendation for boost in the size
of NATO forces.
There can be no excuse for any
slackening in our efforts to attain
the minimum military require
ments," Gen. Ridgway said today
Those minimum requirements fol-
the defense of Western Europe, he
continued, have not yet been met

tiers what the consequences might
be If they failed to provide the
military with sufficient manpowel
and weapons.

periors what we think will be the
military consequences"
Gen. Ridgway blamed the SLOW.
down in action" on wishful think
ing. the hope that I'VE are nc
longer open to attack and we don't
need to make so great an effort to
defend ourselves"
In explanation of yesterdays
cuts for 1853, Danish Finance
Minister Thorkil Kristensen
chairman of NATO's building com
mlttee, said last night one of the
reasons was the big backlog of
authorized but unfinished con-
struction. OF $1,000, 400, 900 ap-
propriated for defense installa-
lions in West Europe since NATO
was established, he said, only $21O
million has actually been spent.
Yesterday the NATO nearly
halved the program for construc-
ton of airfields, radar screens
roads. bridges and other defense
structures next year.
The 80 ministers of foreign
affairs, finance and defense of
the IA nations voted to build
S224 million worth of top priority
works, as against the $428 mil
lion requested by the military
committee.
