NEW YORK. Oct. 10 (AP).-
Space age stocks revived and
made great strides this week
while blue chip issues wallowed
uncertainty in the stock market.
The overall market took a
small loss while the industrial
section gained slightly.
The moon-girdling Russian
satellite and the conviction that
the United States must spend
heavily in the space race in
spired the missile-rocket- elec-
tronics group. =
These glamour" stocks also
drew trading interest because
they had been thoroughly de-
glamourized recently and once
again looked like good risks to
traders.
The big industrials and rails,
however, pursued. an uncertain
course as they waited for Pres
ident Eisenhower to do what
the market expected him to do,
namely, invoke the TaftAHart-
ley Law in the steel strike which
finished its 87th day as the
trading week concluded.
The five most active issues
this week on the New York
Stock Exchange were: Ameri-
can Motors, up Ia at 621a on
295,300 shares; Studebaker-
Packard, off % at 1919; Stand
ard Oil New Jersey, off 81
at 47la; Thiokol. up 9la at

Perhaps, II the stock market
slide which began this past
summer continues for some
time, countless numbers Of little
fellows who have been buying
stocks regularly will become
thoroughly disenchanted. And
they'll stop putting any per-
centage of their savings into
wall Street." Perhaps.
Perhaps if the stock price
decline Of September - the
sharpest in more than a
quarter-century-turns into 9
severe crack-up, countless num-
bers Of Americans who until
now have been claiming they're
not concerned with week-to-
week fluctuations will become
panicky. And these will begin
dumping what they own. Per-
hapS. -.
Perhaps, if some unantici-
pated event suddenly shifts the
national attention from inf1a-
ton to deflation, countless fam
lilies will decide that dollars in
the bank are the best thing
after all. And they'll abruptly
start boarding every penny they
can in cash. Perhaps. -.
Any Of these things could
happen.
For the startling fact is that
the 6 million individuals who
have been added to the stock
holder lists in America Just
since 1852 have known only a
market going up most of the
time. We can't be sure how
these new stockholders will re-
spond to a prolonged, painful
decline.
Still, the odds are against
these things happening on any
thing approaching calamitous
scale for the stock market
and one reason lies in the
rhythmic pattern" of buying
developed by so many millions
of Americas new investors.
What was the pattern" of
stock buying by the individuals
who dominated the market be-
fore the catastrophe crash OF
80 years ago this month? Not
only was the buying on the
thinnest of margins. It also
was erratic. 1t was frequently
emotional. It was mostly I'M
Informed. It was often hys-
terical as the stock market
roared toward its historic 1925
top.
It's hard to describe the pat
tern, because there really
wasn't any.
Today? Today, there is q
