STOCK MARKET SETS RECORD Continued From Page Price averages computed by different means showed only slight variations. In effect, the market didn't go anywhere.

Every Seller-- A Buyer This meant that for just about every stockholder who wanted to sell, all across the country, there was someone who wanted to buy. And it was impossible to single out any major reason for the exhausting pace, the way President Eisenhower's heart attack was blamed for the previous 7-million Defends Player Trio In Disorderly Count; Blames "Thugs" Attack PHOENIX, Ariz. (UPD--Three stars of the San Francisco baseball team were arrested today on charges of being drunk and disorderly, but Giant Manager Alvin Dark said they were only defending themselves against thugs. Arrested early this morning were catcher Bob Schmidt. 27, third baseman Jimmy Davenport, also 27, and outfielder Harvey Kuenn, 30, recently traded to the Giants from Cleveland.

Police said they fought with officers trying to arrest them after policemen stopped a scuffle between the three players and two motorists. "The whole trouble was caused by some kids out looking for trouble." said Dark. "As far as I'm concerned, the players should be blamed for nothing in this case. It wasn't their fault it started. These guys were intimidating the ballplayers.

"I'm sorry it happened," added Dark, who said he did not plan to fine the three players.

Market observers instead offered a number of little reasons that they hoped would add up to the feverish total: --Some investors wanted cash for income tax payments. So they sold. --Some investors acted on word from President Kennedy's chief economic adviser, Walter W. Heller, that the end of the reces- soin might be at hand.

So they bought. Some speculators may have been looking for a quick profit. So they bought and sold. A bitter proxy battle between Pennsylvania multi-millionaire Allan P.

Sen. Thomas A. Ehrgood, Lebanon, charged Tuesday the bureau, which handles enforcement for about one-seven of the total motor vehicle laws, was doing on the New York shares of Allegheny Corp. Issues Warning Within hours after the closing nothing to force reluctant minor judiciary officials to notify it of traffic violations. Ehrgood said on the Senate Jury Deadlocked Over Penally For Finch, Carole LOS ANGELES I there a deadlock in the jury that meets again today to decide if Dr.

R. Bernard Finch and Carole Tre- goff should live or die? The panel failed again Tuesday to agree on sentences for the convicted murderers making a total of seven hours of deliberations without reaching a verdict over a two-day period. The jury, which reconvenes at 9 a.m., PST (noon, EST) today, had been expected to agree quickly on punishment for the lovers, who were found guilty last week of killing the doctor's wife. Informed courtroom sources gave two reasons for a possible jury deadlock or disagreement: --Some members of the jury of 10 men and 2 women may be suffering conscience trouble about ordering the gas chamber for either or both of the lovers, while some jurors are probably holding out for it. Finch, 43, and Carole, 24, must be sentenced to either death in the gas chamber or life in prison for the fatal shooting of the surgeon's wife, Barbara Jean, 33, in July, 1959.

--The jury may not have realized that when it convicted Carole of conspiracy to murder, it rendered meaningless the fact that it found her guilty of only second-' degree murder. Some members may have thought they could sentence her on the second-degree conviction-which would have meant five years to life. But the conspiracy sentence must be either the gas chamber or life.
