AS might be expected other German issues were depressed Outside of a few convertible and prim bonds traders evlnCed little interest in the do- mestiC group and prices held steady.

DUCHESS CANCELS
 ALL ENGAGEMENTS
Expectation Of Possible New
 Heir StirS All England

London, June 13. UP).-1t was just a short statement, barely a dozen words, and it said in effect that the Duchess of York had can- celled all her engagements for this summer, but it created stir throughout the world
 AS far as the British public was concerned, naval conference, par liamentary crises, and football cup finals were pushed into the back ground. This was news, real news, for none could fail 10 read between the lines and learn that an addi- ton to the family of the Duke and Duchess of York is expected,
 When the statement was issuad from 145. Piccadilly, near Hyde Park. 1t carried note to editors requesting that no comment should be made upon the statement. and that no photographs of the Duchess be published. In fact, it was indi- oated that the Yorks desired as little publicity as possible
 The British press respected this desire to an extent. No comment on the statement was made, but it was prominently displayed on the main news pages with headlines in large type The nearest approach t0 comm ent was made by the Labor Daily Herald which. in footnote. sad so far the Duke and Duchess of York have only one child, Prin- cess Elizabeth"
 The press did. however, publish photographs of the Duchess, who is regarded as q beauty among roy alty, and on the following day many of the gossip writers more than hinted IS 10 the significance ot the announcement.
 Thus, it IS now an accepted. if rot an official fact that the Duchess will give birth 10 d child. and. the United Press learns from usually reliable source. September is the month in which IL is expected 70 arrive.
 There is already a great deal of discussion on the eternal question: twill it be a boy or a girl?"
 The birth Of 2 boy will create an interesting situation. l. will mean that little Princess Elizabeth Will lose her position as third in line for the throne of England, after her Uncle David. the Prince of Wale7, and her father, the Duke Of Yorl. T. IS the custom in England for males 10 take precedence however much younger they are than their sisters. Thus the Duke ot Yorl's son would become the fourth male in the land after King George, the Prince of Wales and the Duke, and would be third Tn line to the throne. On the other hand. another girl would not alter the situation. and there would still be possibility of England being ruled once more by h Queen Elizabeth.

WILL EXPERIMENT
 WITH MOON ROCKET
Definite Tests Are Scheduled for
 Coming Summer

Berlin, June B (JP)-Shootlng ones self of to the moon may still be impossible, but Professor Her mann Oberth, using his moon -goin g rocket. hopes to make 2 few per tlnent experiments in that general direction some time m the next few months
 Just what has been holding up these experimental flights has never been made quite clear Now. how ever, all difficulties appear to have been cleared away and plans have been made to set the rocket off early this summer The remarkable event will take place on the shores Of the Baltic near the town of Horst
 While Professor Oberth would be most happy to see his present rocket reach an altitude Of 50 kllo- meters. his ultimate goal IS. Of course, the construction ot a rocket that will get to the moon. That 1t is not impossible Oberth is certain. but as to its practcablity the pro- lessor wishes at the moment to re- main silent. One of the most en- thuslastlc supporters of Oberth' s idea, Robert Esnault- -Pelter!e, a French scientist. has taken a franker view. He is confident that within 10 or 15 years q Journey to the moon and back will be per fsp-i,- A be merely q question Of experiment tation and financing.
 Oberth's present rocket stands about 2.15 meters high and it has an average width Of 30 centimeters. IL is made Of steel, looks like an oversize oxygen container and has an outer covering Of magnesium 10 protect it against the great change Tn temperature that It must endure. This ma agneslum shell because of its luminosity will also help observers on earth trace it's course. Two ob- seryatIon pests will he ests bl!shed at considerable distance from one another for this purpose
 A part Of the rockets equipma ant consists Of parachute arrange ment, the parachute opening auto matlcally when the force of the original explosion that sends the rocket of from the earth has been spent. By means Of this parachute 1 Oberth hopes to save the huge shell from dashlng 10 pieces as f returns to earth
 Power for the propulsion Of the rocket through space will be pro vded by the ignltlng Of T special hydrogen gas composition that Oherth himself has invented The gas will burn for so seconds al the start and Oberth hopes that the re- sultant prolonged explosion will give the device a starting speed Of 4,oo0 yards second The oven Of the rocket, where the explosion takes place, is fitted with a cooling arrangement to prevent melting e the metal from which the rocket is made. Another part of the rocket IS designed 10 give it stability in flight.
 As the rocket begins 10 descend and the parachute opens a brilliant red signal light, a part Of the para chute, will light itself and thus not only enable observers to follow its downward course but also warn other persons so that they vIll not be standing in its path as its great weight settles down 10 earth.
