REPORTS
MIDDAY
WALLSTREET
NEW YORK (AP) — The stock
market lapsed into sluggish irregularity
early this afternoon. Trading was
moderate.
The Associated Press average of 60
stocks at noon was unchanged at 245.50
with industrials up .20, rails off .30 and
utilities up .10.
Gains and losses of most key stocks
were fractional, some going to a point
or so.
Most steels showed a tendency to
ease. Motors showed scant change.
Rails were off. Aircraft-missiles showed
a slight upside tendency as expectations
continued of a defense buildup because
of the Berlin crisis.
A 4-point early spurt by Honolulu
Oil was a feature but the stock halved
its gain later.
Among the rebounding electronics,
Litton Industries was about the best,
adding more than 3.
DuPont backed away from its Friday
recovering, losing more than a point.
American Telephone was around a point
higher. Small gains were made by Union
Carbide, U.S. Steel, General Electric
and General Motors.
The Dow Jones industrial average
at noon was off .16 at 690.79.
Prices on the American Stock Ex-
change worked generally higher in
moderate trading.
Corporate bonds were mixed and U.S.
government bonds showed scant change
in slow dealings.

Lt. Lomis Weber commands the
the second platoon. M-Sgt. Ervin
Marek is leader of the first pla-
toon and M-Sgt. T. W. Holmstrom
Jr. of the second platoon.
Each tank commiander has three
men under him—a driver, a gun-
ner and a loader.
“Communications were the best
we’ve ever had',” Nichols said.
“The drivers 'improved an awful
lot. They had to drive through
mud on Monday of the second
week. It was so muddy, one tank
trail was washed out, and we
had! to make a long detour.”
Nichols said it didn’t rain as
much at North Fort Hood as it
did in other Central Texas areas.
He reported rain on both week-
ends during the two-week camp,
but none at any other time, al-
though the weather was threaten-
ing.
During the first week, some
of the guardsmen fired sub-cali-
bre machine guns from tank posi-
tions. And some of the citizen-
soldiers fired the 90 mm guns
mounted on the medium sized
tanks.
While these men were firing,
the rest of the company ran bat
tie drills and formations with
tanks to get ready for the big
tests of the second week.
Capt. Nichols said there were
no serious injuries in Company
B. He described the worst injury
as a sprained wrist. The most
serious accident was in Company
A, a GI being injured with what
he thought was a dud hand gre-
nade.
He said outside of the sprained
wrist, dagger bites were the
worst injuries to his men.
Taylor’s guardsmen were in the
field a total of about eight days
The first week they moved into
the field on Tuesday morning
and returned Thursday morning.
The second week’s field training
lasted from Monday morning un-
til Friday morning.
Purpose of the training was to
sharpen the guard’s readiness for
emergency.

Decision Due
On Guard Call
WASHINGTON iff) — President
Kennedy probably will decide
within the next two or three
days whether to call in reserves
and National Guardsmen to bol-
ster ihe nation’s military readi-
)SS.
If he decides to issue the call,
he will have to determine also
how many men are needed and
how much extra money.
When Deputy Secretary of De-
fense Roswell L. Gilpatrick an
nounced last week lhat such a
move was being considered he
said this was the most obvious
way to beef up the military
forces quickly enough to deal
with such immediate problems as
Berlin. But he said this was only
one of many possibilities being
considered.
