Stock Prices Rebound
$2 a Share; Advances
Are Well Distributed
By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 17.—A strong
rebound today in the stock mar
ket brought prices up by more
than $2 a share after a six-day
decline.
The gains were fairly well dis
tributed throughout the list. Al
though there were scattered
losses, they were small, and no
major section could really be
called backward.
Lower prices attracted consider
able bargain hunting. As a conse
quence there was evidence pf
selective buying. The over-all vol
ume remained comparatively
small.
Rubbers did Well. In the back
giound stood the fine Goodrich
earnings report, renewal of Good
year split rumors, and new large
defense orders for United States
Rubber.
Oils, which suffered heavily in
recent selling, swung ahead with
thp vnlatilo PiHot. __ 1_,
-- AtCVViUlfc, .
Other areas making good prog
ress were rails, steels, chemicals,
copper mining and utilities.
Automobiles marked time, trad
ing. about unchanged for long
periods. The Government cut
steel for cars and other consumer
hard goods about one-third below
the level prior to the Korean war.
Stocks moving up included Gulf
Oil, Goodrich. Southern Railway
Santa Fe, United States Steel’
Sears Roebuck, Phelps Dodge,
American Cyanamid, Allied Chem
ical, Pfizer and Twentieth Cen
tury-Fox, which has called for
redemption of its $1.50 convertible
preferred and the $4.50 prior pre
ferred.
Trading in bonds was light at
slightly higher prices. Govern
ment securities held steady and
quiet in the over-the-counter mar
ket.

Chicago Grain
CHICAGO. May 17 (.4* —Wheat daew
some inspiration today from announce
ment by the Agriculture Department of
July export allocations, plus the news
that the grain has been moving out of
the country rapidly under the export
program.
July allocations also aided corn, but
oats had a very ragged appearance. Soy
beans also scored early gains. Weather
in the Mid-West was not so favorable
today for planting corn and soybeans al
though it was expected to improve to
morrow'.
Wheat near the end of the first hour
was Vb to 34 higher May 2.3838; corn
was unchanged to 3« higher: May 1.76;
oats were % to 1 lower. May 85: soy
beans were unchanged to % higher. Sep
tember 3.15%; lard was 5 to 10 a hun
dred pounds lower, May 17.75.
The Agriculture Department announced
its grain export program for July will
amount to 37 million bushels of wheat
and about 22 million bushels of coarse
grain, which is expected to be mostly
corn. This is a fairly high total for one
month.
News dispatches from New Delhi said
that the Indian people were reacting
favorably to the Senate s action in mak
ing the wheat for India program a loan
rather than a gift. Some traders hadj
wondered yesterday if India might not|
balk at the loan arrangement.
More rains fell in the Southwest over
night. a development overlooked in the
early dealings. This area has received
very heavy rains in the past few days.
Traders said the moisture undoubtedly
has added a good deal of wheat to this
year's harvest, despite heavy abandon
ment.
Another steamer brought in some
Canadian oats here. Arrivals since navi
gation started on the Great Lakes now
total around 4.5 million bushels. Dealers
said that merchandising sales out of this!
market have been practically nil for some
time.

GamingTaxApproved,
Committee Wonders
How to Enforce It
By the Associated Press
The House Ways and Means
Commute has voted to impose a
10 per cent levy on gross receipts
of professional gamblers and re
quire them to pay a $50-a-year
occupation tax, but even the ex
perts are wondering how the Gov
ernment will enforce the new
levies.
The cqjnmittee also decided yes
terday to recommend raising the
Federal tax on slot machines
from $150 a year to $250.
The gaming tax would hit
bookmakers, policy “numbers”
writers and lottery operators,
whether or not their operations
were contrary to State laws.
Committee aides who told re
porters of the committee's deci
sion were vague about how the
Government w’ould go about en
forcing such a tax, even in Ne
vada, the only State where
gambling of all types is legal.
Pari-Mutuels Exempted.
Race track pari-mutuel ma
chines would be specifically ex
empted from the levy. But even
the tax experts who drew up the
provision were not clear whether
the committee intended it to ap
ply to church bingo games.
According to those experts, the
tax would be based on "that part
of the gross receipts of persons
in the business of taking wagers
on which they assume the risk
of profit or loss, and on the gross
receipts of persons operating
wagering pools.”
There w;as no firm estimate of
the amount of additional revenue
to be expected from the tax, al
though the increase in the slot
machine levy was estimated to
bring in $7 million a year.
Member Dubious of Plan.
Committee members appeared
reluctant to discuss the gambling
tax. One member shook his head
and said, “We've done a bad day's
work.” Another remarked that
the levy might act as a deterrent
to gamblers who would fear run
ning afoul of a Federal law.
In the day’s only revenue in
creasing decision apart from the
gambling and slot machine levies,
the committee voted to classify
tobacco pipes, cigar holders and
cigarette holders as jewelry sub
ject to a 20 per cent retail tax.
The estimated revenue gain is
$8 million.
The committee rejected pro
posals to tax the sale of used cars;
also pleasure boats, motor or sail;
golf greens fees and charges made
tennis players for use of courts;
and glassware and chinaware,
w'here a 20 per cent tax had been
considered.
