Moderate Pressure
Drops Stock Prices
Fractions 10 Point \
BY the Asseeioted Press

NEW YORK. April 20.-The
Stock Market declined today to
around the lowest levels Of the
year. The fall was moderate,
with the volume Of business not
particularly pressing.
At the most, the decline ex-
tended to around a point, while
scattered plus signs helped to
bolster the list. These latter were
small.
Most major divisions were
lower. However, small gains
showed up in railroads, chemi-
calls, rubbers, merchandising
shares and in scattered areas.
The low point of the year was
established two weeks ago today
as measured by the Associated
Press average Of so stocks at
$108.70. Fridays market held
only 80 cents above that low,
and the price level sank right at
the start today.
When prices hit bottom they
steadied and then turned up
from the lows. There was no
urgency in trading while the
market was moving in either di-
rection. There was more cau-
ton than anything else appar-
ent in Wall Street. Brokers be-
lieve the market right now is at
an important testing point, and
all are waiting to see what hap
pens.
Lower stocks included Repub-
lie Steel, Studehaker, U. s. Rub
ber, Douglas Aircraft, Radio
Corp, American Telephone. Con-
solidated Edison, Anaconda Cop
per, Dome Mines, American
Cyanamid. General Electric,
Pennsylvania Railroad. Southern
Pacific, Sinclair Oil, United Air
lines, Goth Century-Fox and
Johns-M -Manville.
United Aircraft Rugged the
upside. The Navy disclosed it
would step up its orders for jet
engines made by United.
Pacific Western Oil was a big
buying favorite. It opened on a
block Of 5000 shares up 21a at
40R, and it continued trtading
right around that price most of
the time.
Corporate bonds were a little
lower. Governments held steady
in the over-the-counter market.

Trade Paper Offers
Figures Citing Steel
Prices as TooLow
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

CLEVELAND. April 20.-Steel
magazine, after compiling sta
tistics from steel company an
nual reports, said yesterday that:
Nov, significantly. some OF
the industry's principal figures
are openly saying steel prices
are too low"
The metal working journals
28th annual analysis of the in
dustry showed that 30 steel pro-
ducers netted an average Of
4.91 cents per dollar Of sales
in 1952-the lowest rate since
the 5.46 in 1946. The 80 firms,
Steel said, represented 81 per
cent Of the country's steelsmak-
ing capacity last year.
Quoted by the magazine were
Benjamin F. Fairless, chairman
of United States Steel Corp;
Ernest T. Weir, chairman of Ma
tional Steel. Corp, and the an
nual report of Republic Steel
Corp.
Mr.. Fairless said the industry
suffered financial malnutrition. u
Since 1910. he continued. his
firms employment costs rose
l55 per cent, although the price
of steel rose only 81 per cent.
Mr.. Weir said the industry's
earnings were too low for safety
and Republic asserted the price
increase permitted by the Gov
ernment after last summers
strike was inadequate.
The magazine predicted the
industry would be cautious about
price increases because:
A raise would be used by the
C1O steelworkers union as "ad.
ditional leverage" in wage de.
mands, and the steel companie.
"will not be inclined to do any.
thing pricewise that would EN-.
barraSS the new administration.
Last week the industry pro.
/ duced at 81 per cent of its rated
capacity, a drop of one point

A tumble checked off Hamp-

toward a touchdown in the final
minute Of play Saturday at the

Maryland fought to d 90 tie in

The Hampden-Sydney surge,

either team in the Tiger home

Rover Again Hits
Provision in D. C.,
Omnibus Crime Bill

United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover again spoke out last night
against the provision in the Dis
trict omnibus crime bill that
would make it mandatory for
Judges here to impose minimum
sentences in cases involving ag-
gravated ofenses.
Mr.. Rover expressed his op-
position to another provision in
the bill. which was to come before
both District Committees in Con-
gress today. This clause would
remove the right Of the Parole
Board here to parole prisoners
after conviction for crimes with
fixed minimum sentences.
The prosecutor also objected
to a provision that would take
away from judges the right to
place convicted persons on pro-
baton in these cases.
Sees Move ul-Advised.
Devoting most of his talk be-
fcre the Association of Oldest
inhabitants to a discussion of
the threat to the parole and
probations system here, Mr..
Rover told his audience such
attempts to step up law enforce
ment in the District are ill
advised"
