New York, June 17 (AP) Stocks, with scattered exceptions, resumed their advance in today's market under the leadership of rails, steels and selected industrials after Friday's slight profit taking reaction. Brokers said that some buying again was based partly on the inflationary implications of the pricewage spiral. Rails continued to attract bids because of the belief that a freight rate boost was on the way.

In general, they took the attitude that the concessions the President and the War department made to the sea arm on such points as the marine corps and the joint chiefs of staff were insufficient to overcome previous objections. And with only four weeks remaining before Congress plans to quit work for the year, they said the prospects of final action at this session are extremely remote. 'Insurmountable' Defects Sen. Edward Robertson (R-Wyo) in comment typical of those who have been critical of earlier merger proposals, said Mr.

Truman's plan "still has the insurmountable defect of the secretaries of the army, navy and air forces' not being cabinet members." These three officers would be subordinate to the secretary of national defense under the administration plan, and Robertson, a member of the Senate naval committee, told a reporter: "I am fearful of one-man control." The Wyoming senator said he was glad to see that Mr. Truman being" and that the had "decided to leave marines, in bowed to the navy in favor of the present joint chiefs of staff. Alterations Ineffective In fact, aside from the decision to retain the joint chiefs instead of setting up a single military commander to be rotated among the services, the entire new merger differs in few major respects from the proposal Mr. Truman first submitted to Congress last December. But Robertson said he thinks the naval committee "has the right to hold open hearings and go into this whole matter thoroughly." That committee recently called several top-flight naval officers to closed-door sessions to hear the navy's opposition, to the merger bill.

Walsh (D- Mass) declined any comment, but others besides Robertson indicated they too would like to air the matter in the open. Minnie Rehling Dies Following Long Illness Mrs. Minnie O.

Before adjourning Sunday the organization hammered out a constitution; completed, with possible minor exceptions, a platform; reelected Charles G. Bolte, New York City, as chairman; elected Gilbert Harrison, Los Angeles, vice chairman, and named eight regional vice chairmen. Election tellers worked until early today counting the ballots cast in the election of 16 members of the national planning committee who, with the regional vice chairmen, form the A. V. C.

governing body. The question of a new name for the organization, scheduled for decision the convention, was not decided and may be settled by mail ballots. Suggested alternatives had been "American Veterans Citizens" and "World Veterans." An organization exclusively for World War II veterans, the A.V.C. announced it is seeking a membership of a million, and Bolte said he A.V.C. was "ready to furnish a leadership which give it numerical importance alongside the older veteran organizations." Delegates voted down a platform proposal which would have pledged A.V.C.
