Wall Street opens mixed as market slips after new high
Wall Street in New York showed a mixed early trade with the averages down slightly while individual stocks split gains and losses.

Comsat on the New York Stock Exchange opened late due to heavy orders, with Continental Insurance up 1 1 4, Sperry Rand 4 4, Walter E. Heller down 1 2, and American Telephone up 4 4 in brisk volume.
