May lO-iffy-The overnight German blitzkrieg on the low countries today brought a selling blast la the stock market that knocked down leaders 1 to more than 5 points, many to new lows for the year and longer. ' The few so-called war issues managed to put up a show of re sistance. These swung up sub stantially at the start while peace time stocks crumbled. Even the favorites later gave ground and, while a small assortment man aged, to emerge with modest plus signs, the majority were under water at the close. Most traders were said to have stepped aside because of their in ability to figure out the effects on domestic economy of the outburst of "total war" abroad and the pos sibility of the United States being drawn into the melee. Steels, aircraf to. coppers, and sugars were in the rising division at the opening. Halls, utilities rubbers, motors and oils, were among the main tumbler. With the biggest crowd on the floor of the stock exchange since the overseas conflict got under way last fall, the ticker tape oc casionally was as much as 5 min utes behind. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks was off 1.4 points, at 48. 5, a new 1940 bottom. It was the largest decline for a single day since September 18. Transfers ex panded to 2,088,240 snares, a top : mark alnce April 9. The turnover compared with 8 47,530 yesterday. 1 Prominent on the retreat were Chrysler, General Motors, US Rubber common and preferred, Douglas Aircraft, United Aircraft, American Airlines, Westinghouse, Loft, Union Pacific, Texas Corp. and Internatipnal Paper preferred Scio School Host For May Festival 1 SCIO Scio grade school was host Friday to the schools of neighboring districts attraditional May day festivities.

Wheat rose i to B cents al most at the opening bell, corn was up 1H 2H to the highest level since 1937. September wheat sold at high as $1.10 and corn. as high as 70 cents. New speculative buying. short covering and some wheat purchases credited' to mills ap peared. The advance ran into selling. however, and as profit taking in creased there was a sharp reac tion in all pits. Wheat tumbled at one time as much, as 2-2 from the early highs but closed I-4H cents higher than yesterday, with May ,1.08 T.-, and July $1.08 - The action of other western hemisphere markets and the wil lingness of many dealers to accept profits demonstrated that many elements in the grain trade were confused by developments in Eur ope and the uncertainty of the war situation. Some traders said the spread of the war has not clari fied the tangled international wheat situation but probably has unsettled it even more in this con nection they pointed out that the lowlands countries which are the object of the latest attack normal ly are good markets for western hemisphere grains. Wheat at Buenos Aires slumped almost B eents but rallied later.
