Washington March 28 Fortified by sound underlying conditions Commerce Secretary Robert R Lamont says business has little to fear from a severe stock market slump. He notes indicators show favorable conditions and that any recession in stocks will not hurt commercial or industrial prosperity.

He cites steel production up 6 percent and stresses stock markets no longer dominate business.
