INDUSTRY FALLS
 'OFF FOR AUGUST
New England Shows Decreai in
 Various Lines

Boston, Oct. ? (UP)-For the fifth consecutive month, there was d decline in the general level of in dustrial activity in New England during August, according to the monthly review of the federal re- serve bank of Boston issued yester- day.
 Discussing conditions for the first eight months of 1880, the review said, "A business depression of se- rious proportions has been exper- fenced" during that period and that practically all the principal indus tries in New England' have been affected.
 Textile activity in this district, as we'll as in the entire country, was further curtailed in August, D the review declared, land cotton consumption in New England mills during each of the last three months has been in the smallest volume re- corded in the past II years.
 Consumption of raw wool S New England increased in August over July, but by less than is usual be- tween these months. Silk machinery activity dropped abruptly both be- tween June and July and again be- tween July and August.
 'New England boot and shoe production in August, although sub- stantially less than in August, 1929 increased over July, and in the first eight months of this year was ap- the corresponding period a year ago"

Pittsburgh Oct. P-The banker, doctor. and otfier professional men rate far higher in percentage of automobile accidents than the indus trial worker, it was brought out yesterday in the National Safety con- gress and exposition.
 Harold R. Gordon, executive secre- tary of the health and accident un- derwriters' conference, Chicago, has tabulated 15,000 automobile acci- dents into classes and discovered that members of the business and professional group have almost two accidents for each in the industrial group.
 In addition to a greater number of accidents for the professional man he is more often injured. On the other hand the industrial worker is more often seriously injured.

OIL INQUISI70R HAS
 AMPLE EXPERIENCE
Asst. Attorney General Proves
 Expert at Investigation

Washington, Oct. 9 P-The gov- ernment's chief inquisitor of the lat est charges of oil frauds-Seth w. Richardson, assistant attorney gen. eral--is an expert at this work, al though he has seen service only dur ing the administration of President Hoover.
 Richardson is a former federal district attorney for North Dakota and shortly after he was named to office by MT. Hoover he assumed the job of unraveling charges that the old leases for the Salt Creek oil fields in Wyoming were obtained by fraud.
 Ralph Kelley, head of the Denver general land office of the interior for six years, has made charges similar to those involved i'll the Salt Creek cases-this time con- corning vast oil shale lands in Color ado.
 After the senate lands committee had 'closed its investigation and accepted the report of a special in- vestigator that the Salt Creek leases were legal, the case was turned over to the department of justice and MT. Richardson was the investiga- tor. It is understood he concurred with the senate committee.
 Nye Also Probes
 Senator Nye, republican, North Dakota, the chairman of the senate lands committee, was one of the most active fin pressing the inquiry into the Salt Creek leases. Already he has instituted a personal inves- tigation of MT. Kelley's charges about the oil shale lands.
 If there is any link between the old complaints about the Salt Creek fields and the latest one of Kelley, these two straight hitting North Da- kotans-Richardson and Senator Nye-are regarded at the capitol as among the most likely to find the facts. Richardson and Nye are close friends, incidentally.
 There is every prospect of an ear ly unfolding of Kelley's complete story. Senator Nye has written to Kelley and asked him to confer

BRAND ATTACKED
 FOR GENEVA TALK
Tardieu Expected to Administer
 Rebuke to Minister

Paris, Oct. ? P-The French right-wing press has found occasion to assail bitterly Aristide Briand, foreign minister, as a consequence of remarks attributed to him before an international woman's gathering at Geneva. His critics find in his re- marks a tendency to be too lenlent with Germany.
 One publisher, Francois Coty, the perfumer, in his paper, Ami Du Peuple, even demands that he re- sign if he cannot reconcile himself with Premier Tardieu's policy of se- curity above all in dealing with trans-Rhineland affairs.
 A semi official communique has characterized the interview with the women, published in Journal De Geneve, as ''inexact' but it is cer- tain to be seized upon by enemies of the veteran foreign minister when parliament meets Oct. 2S, and it may even form one of the bases for Q strong attack on the cabinet, which has never been any too strong for concerted assaults not to place it in precarious position.
 The reported interview, aS pub lished in Paris, explains recent ex- tremist gains in German elections as due to misery of the German peo- pie who are ''in difficult and even tragic situation" with winter bring ing unemployment to possibly four million people.
 In another passage M. ~riand is said to have deplored publicity giv- en recent speeches of the minister of occupied territories, Gottfrie'l Treviranus, and to have defended the German minister by declaring that the press did not print the con- text of his speeches, which showed that Germany never would use force in seeking revision of the treaty of Versailles.
 Thus far the attitude of M. Tar dieu toward the reputed words of M. Briand is not known, but it is expected that he will take early oc- casion to administer a rebuke to his minister for adding to the troubles of the already harassed government.

High Industrial Peak
 To Be Reached in 1892

Boston, Oct. ? (UP)-The highest peak of industrial production ever attained will be reached in 1892, President Alvan T. Simonds, of the Simonds Saw & Steel company of Fitchburg. predicted yesterday in an article in the October issue of "Bos- ton Business" eb
 Since the war" he said, leach cyclical peak in business has been followed about three years later by another cyclical peak higher than any which preceded it. It does not pay to sell the United States short if you mean by selling it short that you are gambling that the next cyclical peak will be lower than the preceding one.
 "The peak in industrial produc- ton in 1892 will doubtless be higher than that of 1929. Use your own judgment, based upon the known factor, as to how high stock prices will go.'
