NEW YORK. Mar. 81 (AP)-
Steels, motors and selected
issues made some gains in a
generally mixed and sluggish
stock market early this after
noon.
Gains and losses among key
stocks went from fractions to
about a point.
While the economic news re-
NAMED good, warnings from
the New York Stock Exchange
and brokerage house spokesman
helped foster an extremely eau
tious attitude toward stocks
after some recent hectic be-
havior by some issues.
The president and board
chairman of the New York
Stock Exchange cautioned
member firms against use of
their facilities for reckless
speculation by the uniformed. :"
1BM leaped more than IT
points in response to its 3-for-
2 stock split proposal then
clipped about 3 from the rise.
Chrysler gave belated rec
ignition to its newly an
nounced tank order from the
Army and rose about a point.
American Motors rose u to IS
on a block Of $500 shares as a
national magazine prepared to
come out with a bullish article
on the company.
Steels, recently somnolent
despite continued record pro-
duction in the industry, tackled
on some plus signs. Lukens
added more than 2. Fractional
gains were posted for the bigger
steelmakers.
Corporate bonds declined.
Government bonds were firm.

Avoid Drink,
Rockies Told

Police Chief Robert V. Muir
ray yesterday warned So rookie
policemen graduating from the

dangers of drinking.
1T is probably the undoing
of more policemen than any
thing else" the chief said in a
graduation speech read by Dep
uty Chief Howard V. Covell.
The chief also said he would
rather see an officer appre-
bend one criminal for a crime
against persons or property
than to issue 1000 traffic tick
cts for minor parking viola
tons"
He listed other essential
qualities of an officer as abso-
Lutte honesty, an even diSposi.
ton, good common sense, and
cheerfulness and courteousness.
