NEW YORK, April Is (AP)
Stockholders of American
Telephone and Telegraph Co.

proved a three-for-one split of
the stock-the company's first.
The 74th annual meeting in
Kin gsbridge Armory, the
Bronx, was attended by a
record 10000 persons.
The stock split becomes eff
fective April "a and the first
dividend on the new shares
will be paid in July. 1t will be
the first increase in dividends
since 1914 quarterly divi-
dend of 82l2 cents a share at
the new annual rate of $3.50.
This is equivalent to $3.50 a
share of the present stock.
Frederick R. Kappel, presi-
dent, estimated the cost of the
meeting at zone hundred
thousand plus dollars"
Stockholders also reelected
10 directors, renamed the audi
tors, and rejected two stock
holder proposals for cumula-
tive voting and a $4,000 an
nual ceiling on executive pen
sions, Mr.. Kappel, as presi-
dent, was paid 100000 in 1858.

Trading Firm

NEW YORK, April Is (AP)
The stock market was irreg-
ularyly higher in fairly active
trading early this afternoon.
Gains and losses Of frac-
tons to a point we're the rule
among most pivotal issues.
American Telephone was the
focus of attention. as trading
began on q "when-issued" basis
in the cheaper shares resulting
from the 3-for-1 stock split by
shareholders yesterday.
The present stock rose to a
new high since 1880, touching
256l2 while the when issued
stock sold as high as 863s.
Brokers said there was a rush
to get aboard the split stock
and considerable emotional
buying which ignored the
somewhat dearer price Of the
lower-priced pieces of paper"
representing exactly the same
equity.
At the same time, floor brok-
ers were reported Fronting by
the price differentials in what
is called arbitrage operations.
These brokers pay no commits
sion charges. Therefore they
can capitalize on slight dis
crepancies in price.
Government bonds drifted
lower. Corporate bonds also
gave ground.

as offering some assurance that bold

to have shown again that prices can

Jose P. Laurel; Collaboration
Made Philippine Comeback

MANILA, Nov. 6 (AP). -
Jose P. Laurel, whose collabo-
ration with the Japanese in
World War II brought him de-
nunciations as a traitor and
praise as a patriot, died today.
The 68-year-old political vet
eran suffered a stroke yester-
day. He died in a hospital of
a brain hemorrhage.
Mr.. Laurel served as Presi-
dent of the puppet government
set up by the Japanese in 1943
but insisted he collaborated
with the enemy only to protect
his people from the conquer
ors. After a postwar political
comeback. he retired in 1857
from nearly half a century in
public life.
Mr.. Laurel was the son of
wealthy parents and studied
abroad at the Sorbonne, Ok
ford, the University of Madrid
and the Yale University Law
School.
He moved up fast in Philip
pine politics under American
rule, serving as floor leader of
the Senate, Supreme Court
justice and later Acting Chief
Justice.
When war broke out in the
Pacific, he was Secretary of
Justice. The Commonwealth
government fled before the
Japanese invaders and ordered
Mr.. Laurel to stay behind and
deal with the occupation forces.
His dealings with the Japa-
nese brought him the hatred of
many of his people at the time.
and he had a narrow escape
from assassination. Filipino
guerrillas ambushed and shot
him on a golf course.
Mr.. Laurel and his puppet
government fled to Tokyo with
the arrival of the American
forces under Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur. He was returned to
the Philippines under arrest on
treason charges, then freed by
the general amnesty proclaimed
in 1916 after establishment of
the Philippine Republic.
Mr.. Laurel plunged back into
politics and regained much of
his popularity. The public gen.
orally took the attitude that he
had made the best of an unfor-
tunate situation. He failed in a
bid for the presidency in 1949,
but two years later was elected
to the Senate by the largest
