COURT PROCEEDINGS

Temporary Injunction Issued on
Charge That Defendants Conduct
ed Corner in Market"
BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october 26.-Judge
Burt J. Humphrey of the Brooklyn Su-
preme Court yesterday granted temo-
rary Injunction against three New York
brokerage firms in suit brought by the
Attorney Generals Bureau of Securi-
ties charging them with running a

Brooklyn; Jacob L. Mellon e. Co, Dan
lei Bunkle and Daniel Bunkel & Co.,
Inc. are the defendants.
The affidavit charged that the brokers
operated their corner in Schickerling
Radio Tube Corporation stock, offering
100000 shares for public subscription
and then catching subscribers short
by issuing only 10000 shares after run
ming the prices up by market manipula-
tions.
Through refusal to issue all the stock
subscribed for, the affidavit claimed,
subscribers were forced to pay exorbi-
tant prices to deliver and contended
that the scheme artifcally to create
a market where both the price and
supply were controlled by the brokers,
operated as a fraud on the public.

AUTO SLASHER CUTS
UP CARS IN ROME
Vandals Damage Upholstery in
Systematic Raids. Indicating
Criminal Group.

ROME (N.A.NAD.-The city is suf-
fering from a new type of vandal, the
automobile slasher. He cuts and carves
the upholstery and leatherwork of both
the seats and the backs of cars, even
when they are carefully parked in GUS
tody.
AS the damage. often necessitating
complete new upholstery, already
amounts to thousands of dollars, and
has occurred with seemingly systematic
changes of district, it would seem to
be the vindictive work of group of
criminals rather than the unseemly
sport of young rascals.

THEORY ADVANCED
D|TEMAN HIT LAKE
IL Persons Report Seeing
Plane Plunge into Waters
Wednesday.

MENOMINEE. Mich, october 90
The Menominee Herald-Leader today
said the theory had been advanced that
an airplane which IL persons said they
saw fall in Lake Michigan Wednesday
off this port was that of Urban F.
Diteman. jr., Montana aviator, who took
off from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland,
Tuesday with London as his announced
destination.
The paper said that because a check
has failed to reveal any planes missing
in the MiddleWeSt, it was thought very
possible that Diteman. described by
friends aSc eccentric" had decided
after his hop-off to return to his home,
in Billings, Mont. On direct route,
that would bring him over this city.

GOODRICH HEAD
Is OPTIMISTIC.
Sees Industrial Outlook For
1880 Al Better Than
Past Year
Especial to the HeraId)


AKRON. o., Dec. 2l-James d.
Tew. president OF the b. +. Good
rich Rubber Company believes that
The industrial outlook for 1880 Is
very promising. In a statement is
sued 70 newspapers here today, Mr..
lew says that he believes that the
recent recession has run its course
n that he sees no reason for cur-
failing expansion programs plin-
med by Goodrich for next year.
Forecasts for 1890 indicate that
the volume Of business done should
exceed that Of 1929 mr.. Tew said.
While II is probable that the pro-
duction OF motor cars will be some
what lower the coming year than
Tor 1929. the decrease In tire volume
applicable to new cars should be
more than offset by the increase in
sales for replacement use. Past re-
cords invariably show that dealers
sales I'm the tire field are relatively
better where a production Is not
rapidly increasing. and particularly
so when there is a decrease. This
naturally would mean a larger re-
placement business for the manu-
facturer and the dealer as well,
carrying with II a proportionately
larger profit than Is enjoyed when
tires are sold to car manufacturers.
With the PROGRAM for expansions
announced by the railroads and
other industries. we are looking with
confidence toward a substantial vol

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
 PASSES HEALING ACT
In Session One Day.-Six Care fully Prepared Bills Vosed On Favorably. = Minority Party Enters Protest.

By means of six bills carefully pre- pared the special session of the gen eral assembly that convened in Hart ford, Tuesday, validated approximate ly .500 laws which recent decision of the supreme court of errors made of questionable validity.
 Governor Trumbull read a message explaining why he had called the special session and told the legislators what was expected O. them.
 The democrats voted for the bill protesting all responsibility for the situation, the appearance of commit ting themselves cn the soundness of the laws affected by the court deci- sion. and expressed disapproval of the method followed believing that pass ing individual acts to cure tho de- fective laws wonld be the better pro- eedure.
 Leading democrats ef the state are quoted as saying that they will make test case to see if the validity act is itse valid and of legal effect
