Where the blue-chip stocks had been taking the brunt of the beating since February, last week glamour stocks inevitably began to follow them down. Xerox lost 15⅝ in a day, Fairchild Camera fell 14⅜, and Motorola on the final day of trading plunged 23¾ points, from 182 to 158¾.

Both Miller TV Products Co. of High Point, N.C. (which supplies RCA and Motorola), and Drexel Furniture (which supplies Motorola) have greatly stepped up production to meet demand. Small Muntz TV Inc. recently bought into a Michigan cabinetmaker in order to protect its supply, and other TV makers are looking over cabinetmakers with an acquisitive eye.
