BULLS KEEP ON PLUGGING AWAY, STOCK MARKET Copper Issues Continue to Go Up—Reach New Highs for Year RAILS ARE HEAVY, TODAY’S TRADING Raiders Expect Seasonal Upswing to Keep Up to Labor Day NEW YORK, Aug. 29. — The Stock Market managed to hurdle fresh waves of profit taking to- day #nd push generably higher. Coppers and utilities were ac- tively bid during the morning and under cover of these groups considerable selling was absorbed elsewhere. The Bulls expended their em- brace on much of the list. In late trading coppers were partictlarly strong. American Smeiting was up three points and Green Cananea was up almost as much. Kennecott was up near- ly twn points and Anaconda more than one point, all new 1932 pric- es. Urited States Steel, American Telephone and Telegraph, Ameri- can Can and others showed gains of from one to one and a hall points. After morning losses, rails had a period of heaviness and some issues dropped more than three points. Union Pacific failed to rally sufficiently to gain losses.

Borah advocates scaling down the farm mortgages and lowering interest SENATOR BORAH! rates. The statement is made in commenting on the strike of farm- ers “My view is the strike is an oufvard expression of condl prevailing throughout the trial regions of the west. The, prices paid for commodities are below the cost of production. Ev-y erything has been deflatéd ex-y cept taxes and mortgages and the) farmers have about reached limit of riot only patience but en-} durence,” the Idaho Senator said.| Indebtedness must either be ad- justed voluntarily as a result of a business movement or involun- tarily through foreclosure and bankruptcy, said the Senator. Neither of the two political par- ties gives the slightest indication of a program to bring relief so far in the campaign and no puroposal has been offered, he said. Tt will not be easy to exaggerate the ser- iousness o fthe situation, he said for taxes are constantly increasing, mortgages doubling and trebling by virtue of falling prices. BEYOND CONTROL SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Aug. 20— The Sioux City Chamber of Com- merce today informed Governors of Towa, Nebraska and South Dakota that picketing by farmers about the city is “beyond control of the local authorities” as the strikers stopped trucks in an attempt te enforce the strike as an aid in boosting farm product prices.

FIVE CAUGHT UNDER SLIDE, CHINA RAIDERS DEAL BLOW AT JAPAN FORGES Surprise Coup Sprung in Mukden, Manchuria— Bullets and Flames MUKDEN, Manchuria, Aug. 29.— Flames and bullets spread terror here after hundreds of Chinese raiders sprung up during the night and dealt a swift blow at the heart of the Japanese military de- fense system.

REDINGTON SAYS DRIVE LETS UP Holzworth Campaign Sub- sides and Supporters Withdraw from Him There is a let up in the drive for transforming Admiralty Island into a brown bear sanctuary, and there is no danger that such a step will be taken by Federal authorities, ‘according to Paul G. Redington, Chief of the United States Biological Survey. Most tof the coaservationists, who ac- corded the movemyit their sup- port, have been convinced that it is unnecessary and are now satis- fied that the Alaska Game Com- ,|mission and the Biological Survey are handling the brown bear re- somces sauely and in a manner that doés effectively protect them fror: destruction. Mr. Redington is gratified over the change in the general brown bear picture and believes the con- troversy is almost a dead one. Buy is was a “hot spot” for him while it raged in the east earlier this year. Called To Battle With John M. Holzsworth pres- sing for a sanctuary on either or both Admiralty or Chichagof Is- lands, it was necessary for him to appear before the Senate Com- mitteé on Wild Life Conservation, wait upon conservation organiza- tions like the Camp Fire Club, the Wilderness Club and other similar bodies, before scientific societies, all of whom had been prevailed «n by Holzworth to back his cause. In many Instances, the controversy verged upon the bitter and for a time, the fight seemed to be going against the opponents nf the sanctuary idea. Finally facts to disprove most of the extravagant claims of Holz- worth were put across convinc- ingly, so that most of those or- genizations who had originally supported him withdrew their backing. The Empire’s debunking of Holzwoivh, Mr. Redington said, was a ma‘crial factor in defeatinrg his efforts.
