lyn Robins, So and games behind
the leading Chicago Cubs, respec-

the edge off the games.
The series, however, is important
to both clubs. The Giants, by
sweeping the series and then con
tinuing to play winning baseball
can furnish the Cubs plenty of wor-
rv when the leaders get to Nkw
York next month. The Robips mu

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. - (U.P)
The death Of frankie Campbell,

IN Livermore. after being released
on BAH of $4,000 furnished by the

Testimony Unusual
Kellys testimony, in one sense. was
unusual The principal charge against
him was that he did not make thor
ough and efficient investigation of Mrs.
McPherson's death. In refutation of
this allegation he took the witness
stand and consumed hours in straight
forward story of his investigation, go
ing into every minute detail of the steps
he took to determine whether any crime
had been committed. In the face OF
such testimony, an express denial of the
charge, though made, was more or less
Superf1uouS.
When Kelly had completed his direct
testimony, Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Robert E. Lynch took him through
a lengthy croSs-examination, but did not
succeed in shaking his story In any par
ticular.
After all the testimony was in Assist
ant Corporation Counsel Walter l..
Fowler informed the board that former
Policeman Robert j. Allen believed he
had certain testimony which might be
useful an dthat if the board desired to
hear him he could be produced. After
celebrating with his associates, how
ever, Chairman Atkins announced that
"in view of the record already estab-
lished in this case and which record
will speak for itself as to the type Of
testimony given by Mr.. Allen when he
appeared before, the board sees no rea-
son for calling him for any further tes-
timony."

A worldwide survey Of markets for

tiers. From each Of the 1l8 sources

port Of the market for automotive
parts, garage and service equipment
and accessories which will be made
available for the guidance Of manu-
facturers In this branch of the indus
try who seek to extend their export
trade.
The growth of motor transportation
throughout the world has been followed
by increasing demands for replacement
and servicing equipment The depart
ment says there are now more than
5000, 900 automobiles operating outside
the United States; about so per cent
Of these are Of American origin.
In view of the large proportion of
American cars operating abroad, it is
natural that American equipment should
be favored by many foreign car owners.
In recent years the United States ex-
port trade in parts and servicing equip
fnett has recorded gratifying increases.
During recent months it has decreased
in line with the general decline in ex-
ports. This trade has, however, shown
evidences of stability and has suffered
less relatively than the trade in new
automobiles. In most countries the de-
nand for new vehicles has shown a
marked decline, but in few of them has
there been any substantial withdrawal
Of cars from operation.
