Stocks Overcome Selling Bout
And Resume Strength in Week

forced TO drop behind In report
ing dealings on the floor.
Some brokers felt the market
was actually overdue for a cor
rective reaction. a normal pro-
cedure after a sustained rise.
This, they told themselves, is it.
But the selling was absorbed
rather easily. and prices again
resumed their advance.
Continued excellent general
business formed a firm base for
the market. The manner il
which leadership revolved from
one major group to another, in
cluding the railroads, also was
viewed as a point Of strength.
Tax selling and switching con-
tinued to be q factor in produc-
ing ragged list because of the
effect on individual issues. All of
that. however, helped to swell
the volume of business, and
brokers who work on commission
are always happy when volume
is high.

sewed not fastened with pins.
8. Wheels of wooden toys should
be attached with screws, not with
carpet or thumb tacks.
4. Edges of metal toys should be
rolled or turned in and corners
should be rounded.
5. Tea sets should be made OF
material which if broken, will not
produce sharp edges.
6. Horns, whistles, bubble bow
ers, mouth harpsor any other type
of toy which requires the use OF
the mouth, should be made strong
enough to prevent the user suck
ing parts Of 1t into his throat.
z. All toys made of lead or COL
ored with lead-base paints should
be avoided. Read the label be-
fore buying a toy to see if non-
poisonous paint was used.
8. Electric toys should have the
label of the Underwriters Labor
atories on the cord and on the
toy itself to insure safe construc-
ton.
9. Kite strings should be made
of non-conducting material. Wire

for tying Christmas packages,
may cause an electric shock if the
kite drops across a power line. A

Postal Pay lmpasse
Snags Rate Rise Bill,
Other Federal Raises
By the AssoeIoted Press

Pigeonholing of proposed pay
increases for half q million
postal workers is threatening to
kill both pay boosts for a mil
lion other Federal workers and
ia proposed increase in postal
rates.
The postal pay measure,
cleared last month by the House
Post Office Committee, would
grant a total increase Of about
5000 million a year. But it by
passes an administration request
for a major overhaul of post of
fee job clasSifications.
Speculation that President
Eisenhower wouldn't sign pay
bill emitting job overhaul fea-
lures led the policyuaking House
Rules Committee to pigeonhole
the measure.
This put the squeeze on an
administration backed bill to
raise postal rates $245 million a
year. including a penny increase
in the cost Of mailing letters.
Administration leaders are hold
ing up action on rate increases
until settlement Of the pay issue
points to the probable size of
the post Office deficit.
The postal pay delay has also
had the effect of stalling a. re-
quest by other classified Gov
eminent workers for a total pay
boost Of $2.25 billion a year.
Action this session on the
postal pay measure, and thus
on the other proposals. appears
unlikely since G. o. p. leaders
are shooting for congressional
adjournment by July 81.
