Shares Connected With War Get Lif t Issues Influenced Most Are Stocks Stimulated by Defense Program NEW. YORK, Dec. 1.-;P)-War Industry shares, led by steels, were lifted fractions to more then a point today by somewhat more active buying. An early flurry of bidding for United States Sheet and Bethle hem, which hoisted these leaders more than a point, spread to oth er groups but the advances were sliced before the finish. As in previous sessions, demand centered on shares likely to prof It most from the defense-stimulated expansion of heavy indus tries, like steels. Year-end divi dends were special market influ ences., as was evident in a Jump of taore than 2 points in Consol idated 'Aircraft on announcement of ja 82 payment and a boost in Marshall.

Also up fractions to about a point were Douglas Aircraft, Du Pont. Phillips Petroleum, Santa Fev . Great Northern Preferred, Johns Manville, Union Carbide,! Chrysler, United Aircraft and American Telephone. Anaconda, Western Union, Gen eral Motors and American Wool en' Preferred were among those showing small losses.
