The stock market a blood pressure came back almost to normal today as the war scare died down somewhat snrt leading Issues pushed up fractions to more than 2 points. It was a slow-motion rally, how ever, with the turnover of approxi mately 650,000 shares about half thut during the sharp -relapse of the pre vious session. Steels, motors, rubbers and spe cialties, notably weak on Monday, were among the first to right them selves. Ralls, coppers, mall orders and specialties were moderately high er, although far from buoyant. That Europe Itself was none too confident peace would be preserved was seen in a brisk upswing of thi dollar in terms of the principal for eign currencies.

DeSeversky Is certain the air record of 10 hours. 3 minutes and 7 seconds he set yesterday be tween New York and Los Angeles won't ntjnd up long. He says an army pursuit ship will be able to crack his record soon. The little monoplane he ferried here for Jacqueline Cochran to fly In the Bendlx dash can cruise 3000 miles without refueling Its wing-to-wing tanks and that, he observed, carries great military significance. "We have learned, from the wars in Spain and China." Seversky said, "bombardment craft are vulnerable to attack from the nir unless prop erly convoyed. So the big 'flying fortress' that "cruises 8000 miles must be accompanied by pursuit shops that con go equally as far non-stop." Seversky admitted he went "some thing more than 300 miles an hour' and "Jacky" will have to prove how fast the plane Is In her Bendlx flight. Seversky bettered Roscoe Turner's long-held record by 1 hour,. 36 min utes and 63 seconds.
