 Brought Into Case

New York, Dec. 11,-An order for the examination Of Harry r. Sinclair, oil operator and sportsman. in a damage suit brought by Frank C. Armstrong against Edgar L. Narston involving the purchase Of stock in the Texas and Pacific Coal and Oil company, is sought in a petition sub- mitted today by Armstrong's attor- neys 10 Supreme Court Justice Proskauer.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
 VERY FAVORABLE
Life Insurance Men Hear 0pti-
 mSdc Reports

New York, Dec. 1l.--"There is every reason to believe that a solid improvement in business conditions Is under way in America" Richard r. Grant. president of the United States Chamber of Commerce. told the National Association of Life h. surance Presidents today.
 Mir. Grant said that during the last month he had attended sessions of four territorial divisions of the National Chamber Of Commerce and found at each of them reports of a decided upturn in commercial and industrial activities throughout the country.
 Tn New England the leading in- dustries have been increasing pro- duction schedules to meet an en- larged volume of orders," he said. From central Atlantic states comes the story of improvement in busi- ness sentiment and a quickening Of industrial and commercial activity.
 Broadening activity that Is as- suming more extensive proportions is a general description for the middle west. A record. d.breaking volume Of business in the northwest is a pleas ing testimony to improvement in that region.
 "stimulation of business In prac- tically every line is declared to exist in the southwest. Further in- creases In production and 4 large volume Of distribution of merchan- disc characterize the Pacific coast.
 "The south is somewhat laggard, because of seasonal conditions, but there are plenty of indications 1t will fall into step. By and large, the manufacture of textiles, the min ing of coal and the raising of cattle are the large branches of economic activity which are still most unfav- orably situated, but in those fields too, there Is a feeling Of confidence that better days are ahead.
 The reasons for our going ahead with new confidence are not wholly domestic, either. Europe Is making progress, too, The figures show the improvement abroad do not always get into the news dispatches. They reveal a gathering of strength which will help solve the difficulties which European countries have still to 1 face"
