Next day the surge continued, with Allied Chemical leading the way with a $9 gain. On volume of 1,457,000 shares, the industrial averages went through the previous rally peak of 121 to 121.34. To Dow Theorists, of whom there are an immense number (TIME, June 20), this was enormously significant-if the rail averages confirmed the industrials by breaking through their previous high of 23.5, it meant a decisive change of trend. Two days later, rails, highballing after industrials, went to 24.9. To Robert Rhea, leading exponent of the Dew Theory, this was "more bullish than anything seen...

Castellon added to the territory, the Rightist corridor from Teruel to the Mediterranean will be almost doubled in width from 35 to 60 miles (see map).

...capital gain the tax would, as the President said, be 15%. In the case of the $5,000 stock profit made by the President or the Arthursdale homesteaders who were married, if they had no other income that year they would pay no tax at all. If they had $5,000 salary plus $5,000 stock profit, their tax would be $80 (normal) plus $140 (capital gain)-or less than 3% on their profit. If the salary were $10,000, the tax on the $5,000 profit would be less than 5%. Not unless their capital gain brought their total...
