BONDS GO HIGHER
 IN TODAY'S SESSION
Buyers Derive Confidence From
 Recovery in Prices

1 New York, Dec, 19 JP-Bids for l corporate domestic issues substan- tially above the previous figure con- tinued 10 come into the market to- day and held bonds on the upward 1 trend which quickly developed yes- terday as buyers derived new con- hdence from the recovery In secur- fly and commodity prices. Second grade rails retained their leadership in the advance and the bulk Of the large gains Of point or more buoyed obligations in this group.
 Their buovaucy vas attributed principally to the tone Of shares. whose trend they have shown a tendency 10 follow in recent months. Investment loans of the carriers were generally firm and many sales were registered at ad- vances Of T. point above the pre- yIous close.
 There vas much speculation as to the source Of the buying which gave the bond market new life. In in- Festment circles the opinion was held that both institutions and indi- Yiduals rushed into the market yes terday feeling that the bottom oe the decline which was due more to technical than fundamental condi- tions had been reached.

STEEG SURVIVES
 CONFIDENCE VOTE
Margin Only ' BaIIotS- Cabinet
 TOtterS Already

Paris, Dec 19 [P-Thcodore Stevg's leftist ministry had grant O. power from the chamber Of dcp- utie- today, but il was given grudg- iugIy with d margin Of only seven votes, and the opposition asserted that as soon as the holidays were over it would turn the government out of office.
 The vote of confidence followed the reading Of the ministerial decla- ration, which vas adopted 221 to 2s4. The socialists voted for the ministry after a party caucus.
 Considerable time was required to find out the real trend of tine poll since the deputies had stuffed the ballot box. There were more than 1000 ballots in ii. while there were only 600 members in the chamber. It was at first reported N. Steeg had lost by ten votes.
 Friends of NJ. Stecg said today that they were confident that he would be able to increase his major ity by raIlying to his support a-uum- Der Of left center deputies perhaps by filling out the membership Of his cabinet from their ranks
 Three officials resigned just be- fore the reading of the ministerial declaration in the Chamber yestcr- day. These were the minister Of pc sjons and undersecretarias of the ministries of interior and agricul- turr.
 It was observed that defeat Of the ministry in the post holiday ses- sions probably would precipitate q conflict between the chamber and the senate and bring about an early dissolution Of parliament and q call for new elections.
 This argument was used to con- siderable effect hy the government in securing support on the vote of confidence, none Of the deputies de- siring toi have their official status abrogatcd just at this time.

UNEMPLOYED RAISE
 FOREST FIRE TOLL
More Wandering About Woods
 Penn. Warden Explains

Harrisburg Pa, Dec. 19 UP)- Unemployment contributed largely to Pennsylvania's forest fire loss this year, Chief Forest Fire Warden George E. Wirt reported in sum- ming up the season.
 The report showed that this sea son was the worst experienced in many years. There were 6,000 frs Burning on an area of 300,- 900 acres. The cost of extinguish- ing the blazes was $425,00O, Wirt's statement said.
 The part that unemployment played in adding to the factors which caused the forest fire in crease was two-fold, according to Wirt
 First, with more idle time on their hands, greater numbers of persons frequented the wooded areas and in some cases did work such as clearing patches of wood land or burning brush which oth- erwise would not have been done
 Secondly, unemployment added greatly to the number of men available for fire fighting and in very few cases were the fire war dens forced 10 resort to compulsory drafting Of men to fight the blazcs.
 There were several isolated cases reported in which men out Of work deliberately started forest fires to obtain employment in fight ing them.

LOAN ID RUSSIANS
 FAVORED BY BORAH

 Such Legislation

New York, Dec. 19 GP)-A govern ment loan to Soviet Russia or an export guarantee to American busi- ness men in order to develop Rus sian trade in this country, is favor ed by Senator William l.. Borah, chairman Of the foreign relations committee.
 In q letter to Miles NJ. Sherover, New York exporter Senator Borah says such measures would help to finance Soviet purchases here and serve 10 hold Soviet trade.
 T think the greatest undeveloped market iu the world awaits us if We are bold enough to seize it, Senator Eorah writes. If We do not do some- thing Of this kind, We will continue to be in trouble in this country.
 But, of course, l have very little hope of it's being entertained where it ought to be entertained. We will be lucky if they do not destroy what trade we have with Russia"

WISCONSIN WOMAN
 BALKS BULL RING
Opposes LeSalizin8 Of Spanish
 Sport i1 Cuba

Havana, Dec. 19 (P) - A middle aged American woman from Wis consin is one reason why the Cuban congress has yet to pass a law legal izing bull-fighting here.
 For years the Spanish blood that flows in Cuban vains has called for legalized bull fighting Long ago legislators heard the demand and prepared q meaSure-but the bill has yet to be presented to congress.
 Nearly g years ago Dr. Claude C. Ryder and Mrs. Ryder arrived in Havana from Greenville, Wis. They planned only a brief stay-but when the boat sailed they remained, and Mrs. Ryder had found her life work there.
 Her campaign against cruelty to animals started soon after her ar rival and since then she has devoted her personal fortune to the cause.
 Twice she has jumped into bull rings and stopped, singlo-handed. those sometimes cruel spcctacles.
 From being only a person whose cccentricities Cubans could not un- derstand, she has become an institu- tion and has gained the love of the natives. Legislators fear her prestige and respect her courage
 Mrs. Eydnr has established a sane tuary in old Havana where namcless waifs have found a home. She has mothered children, friendless old women, stray cats. dogs and birds.
 This sanctuary. known as the Band of Mercy, has become famous throughout Cuba.
 Now she has the sanction of the and a public dispen- sary has been established under her direction. The Havana community chest has been directed 10 aid her work, Mrs Ryder's fortune having dwindled to practically nothing.
 Meanwhile members of the Cuban congress receive petitions from the sporting element in their constituent cjcs.
 These want buIlfighting lagalized, arguing that it would benefit the public school system 10 which the measure directs the revenue from the affairs.
 We would like to see the bill passed. toe. many CLbaus will tell sou but yoi sec, there IS Mrs. Ryder.

IRREGULAR TREND
 APPEARS ON CURB
Professional Traders Watch for
 Secondary Reaction, Belief

New York. Dec. 19 (P1-The curb market Was unsettled today, moving up and down within an extremely narrow range such as usually follows q period Of violent fluctuation.
 l. was apparent that professional traders were watching for a sccond- ary reaction, and there was mouor short selling in anticipation Of such 6 move. However, the trading was equally as dull on the small reces- sions as on the slight rallies.
 Utilities scored fractional ad- yances in the early hours and then found it difficult to hold their i'm provenent The same was true of the other groups, with the exception ot the investment trusts which were uniformly steady.
 \ f." wide swings in the indus trials showed that the market for such issues was still very thin. Deere dropped points or so and Alum inrm Of America yielded even more. while Armstrong Cork and A. c. Smith pushed up several points each, Mead Johnson. the Ford shares, American Cynamid "B". Newmont Mining and many others were relatively steady.
 Vacuum and Standard of Indiana extended recent gains, but Humble, Gulf and Cities Service eased.
 Penroad, United Founders. Un- gerloider, Central States Electric and Goldman Sachs, in the investment ho!dlng company section, were firm and small gains numerous.
 Call money renewed on the curb at T. per cent.

 not given the day thought. He is interested in completing his last ex- pertinent to determine the speed Of , light and in the approaching visit of Dr. Albert Einstein to California.

 lays in conducting my final experi- nents," he said. My chief assist ant has been ill, But within three weeks We hope to have the equip ment installed 50 l can find and eliminate the error in my caIcula-

Subsequently, Dr. Einstcin advanced his theory of relatiYity.
 T am hardly the one to pass upon this theory said Dr. MicheIson My work has been altogether ex- Derjmental, but l hope l have furnished the theorists material upon winch to base conclusions. some scientists do not agree with Dr. Einstein, but a great many be- ieye his work has come to stay. ] . am hoping these new concvlusions . will be rcconciled with the old"
