from Dave Windsor The following most instructive report appeared in last Sunday's issue of the Sunday Times: "Wall street showed its true colours on Tuesday when news tickers carried a story that Ho Chi Minh was sending a letter tn India to initiate peace moves in Vietnam, Though the report later proved to be only an old letter to three Indo-China Control Commission members, the American stock market for an hour or so went into a peace panic, "Hardest . hit on the ‘peace scare! were aircraft shares, On the day Douglas Aircraft dropped from 111g to 102, Grumman from 55% to 48%, General Dynamics from 59 to 53, lockhead Aircraft from 638 to 58 and Boeing from 1663 to 1583,"
