WONDERING WHEN
 RISE WILL DESIST
Wall St. Observers Speculatine
 About General Motors Stock

New York. March 10 (P - Wall street observers today were wonder ing where the upward parade of stocks led by General Motors con- mon was going to end as they re- viewed the trade of the last seven days which had carried the stock of the motor company up 22 1-c points, an increase in value ot S391.50O,00o.
 Fortunes were made and lost with every hour of trading during the past week and the street today was estimating the winnings of the big traders in millions of dollars.
 Among these big winners ob- servers listed William c. Durant, former head of the company. who. 1t is estimated. has cleaned up s10.o0o.0oo in his trading in the stock during the past, two years: Arthur w. Cutten of Chicago, the Fisher brothers of Detroit. the Du- Fonts of Wilmington. Del. the Timkens of roller bearing fame. the Graham brothers and Clarence R, Biting of Detroit. The losers names are mentioned only in whispers.
 Bears Whipped
 Bears, or the shorts in General Motors. took probably the worst whipping in motors ever admins tered by an organized clique or pool. Many of them sold the stock at 13o and 135, believing that a down of business would bring a recession in the motor in- dustry Many stopped" their stock at 1S8 to 40.
 A stop order automatically be- comes a buying order when the price of the stop is reached and this accounted for the great activity of the stock between 139 7-S and 145, as the stops were caught and the bears covered. Having stopped out two or three times. the bears have usually resold the stock nov. ing up the stop loss few points. only to have that point reached again and again.

i. O. P. COMMITTEE
 BOOKS DESTROYED
Witness Says Former Chairman
 Upham Did This

Washington, March 10 (UP)-The late Fred W. Upham. treasurer of the republican national committee, destroyed his books just before the republican national convention in 1924, his secretary, Irl Hipsley, told the senate Teapot Dome committee today.
 Before Hipsley took the stand, Senator Walsh Of Montana, an- nounced that A. Y. Leonard, of Chi cago. wanted as a witness, had noti- fled the committee that he would appear Tuesday. Process servers previously had been unable to find him.
 Of No More Value
 Hipsley told the committee that Cpham decided the books were Of no further value"
 '1nasmuch as he was not going to be treasurer of the committee any more, he ordered all his books de- stroyed, except a card index sys- tem." Hipsleys said.
 He added that he may have handled Continental Trading com- pany bonds for Upham but could not recall. He handled all Upham's se- curities but could not be certain Will H. Hays had turned over s6o, o,o0o of the bonds in November or Decem- Der. 1923.
 Hipsley denied knowing anything Of dl@;"ibui'on of bonds among prom ago campaign con- trlbutols t,J c0nvert into cash) and could not remember that Cpham had given James A. Patten, Chicago wheat king, se5,0o of the bonds.
 T gave Patten a lot of securities because Cpham had private loan with Patten,' Hipsley added.
 The witness said he was now con- nected with II. J. Budd and Com pany Chicago. and was eNecutor of the tpham estate. He could fur nish no record of any liberty bond transactions. he said
 A group of midwestern senators, interested in the Teapot Dome case, believe their offices have recently been subjected to night searches SO have removed all their important papers to safer places, it was learned here today.
 The development came after dis closures that office employees of Chairman Wye of the senate Teapot Dome committee had discovered evil dence that his office was ransacked twice during January.
 Wye and the others do not intend to lodge any formal complaint be- cause they do not believe 1t would do any good. and Nye has declined to discuss the matter.
 We all felt that We are being subjected to more or less close scru- tiny by some power. but they never leave any evidence upon which we could so after them" one Of the group told the United Press.
 The capitol police force is on guard ill the building but over week. ends there are no janitors on duty nights, making remote the chance of marauders. Police how ever have been cautioned to be on the lookout since the Nye incident. | No papers were taken from his of- ! flee, but on two Monday mornings during January his clerks found | papers in disarray and other evi- fences that the place had been sys- searched.

MUSS0LINI RAPS
 AMERICAN POLICY
Says Gold Is Prime Object Of
 This Country

Milan, March 10 (UP)-Arnaldo Mussolini, brother of the premier. charged America with attempting to exert pressure upon Europe through its enormous wealth, in a speech discussing the world domi- nant forces.
 Gold constitutes formidable weapon and one must expect any surprise when the weapon 1t at the disposal of young race" Mussolini said. Yet the world is lucky the wealth is at the disposal of a race rather than . universal idea"
 He said America was attempting to carry out a big policy and their problem of armaments hardly be- trays the concern at the necessity for Americans adding military glory to their wealth and their technical skill.
 Americas intervention in the World war, he said. had huge weight because of the military means of defense offered by old Europe. However he said that military heroism was restricted to d few actions on the western front.
 We paid high price for a cor responding interest for such inter- vention and since then the American world is discussing with an attitude of haughtiness, any problem con- corning old Europe" he said.
 Sarcastically the premier's brother remarked that those having means always find a way Of imposing them- selves in times of serious economic difficulties.
 This explains why Parker Gill bert, though not knowing word in German, knows how to weigh pre- cisely the German economic situa- tion, to extend rousing alarm about the strength of the German budget and a warning that Germany not de- fault international obligations" Musolini said.
 He pointed out the American market was not big enough 10 ab- sorb overproduction and hence there was a necessity for Americans to at tempt conquest of the world.
 Woe. if enormously wealthy peo. pie were pervaded by the idea of world domination. The strength of bayonets would find a way to de- fend such an idea and force 1t upon the whole world. America. how ever. so far is solely the framework of concrete wherein the incentive springing from history is missing" he concluded.
 Mussolini's lecture has aroused extensive and favorable comment. already have come from Venice and Mantua for Mussolini to deliver similar lectures there.
