HIGHER STOCKS Included Southern Railway, Cities Service, American Airlines. Westinghouse Electric, and Gpodrich. Lower were Bethlehem Steel, Studebaker, Phelps Dodge, and American Cyanamid? The Stock Market last week maintained headway.

Friday's session was held back by lagging railroads. The final hour of trading however, was enlivened by reports current in Wall street that new move was afoot aimed at settling the steel strike now in its fourth week. But over the weekend peace plans failed to jell, and steel peace apparently is as far away an ever. Never theless the Stock Market today refused to be disheartened by any news development. Corporate bonds were slightly lower today.

Foreign bonds were not active. Japanese loans were mixed. U. 8. governments in the over the counter market were quiet.

Merchant Ships To Launch Torpedoes (AP) New American merchant ships now going into operation will be able to fight submarines with the submarine's own most deadly weapon, the torpedo.

And this torpedo apparently will be of the "target seeking" type which seeks out, tracks down and blasts an enemy vessel either on or below the surface. THE PLAN FOR SELF-DEFENSE of the hitherto helpless merchantman came to light today in a shipbuilding company's description of the new and fast mariner class vessels. A publication of the Newport 'News Shipbullding and. Dry Dock Co. reported these will have reinforced deck sections for gun platforms, an area for which submarinespotting helicopters can be launched and recovered, and "provision for the installation of torpedo-launching equipment."

Of these 2,800 were going first-class and 2,000 were flying the new tourist coaches. The. oil strike shrank the supply of aviation gasoline and played hob with air service, but most lines are back to normal again and hope to catch up lost ground.

Trans World Airlines, the other U. S. carrier flying the Atlantic, says Its passenger traffic to Europe this summer is running 34 percent over last year. Eastbound tourist bookings are solid into 'August, and westbound till late September. While the airlines steadily gain on the -surface ships, percentagewise, so far, it has been through an Increase in the number of Americans.
