JAPANESE AUTOMOBILE
COMPANIES ARE MERGED


Americas automobile market in
Japan is threatened by recent amalga-
nations. believed by the Commerce
Department to be a step toward the
formation of a domestic automobile
manufacturing industry
The department was advised absorp-
ton Of the Dat Motor Car Co, one of
Japans three motor manufacturers, by
the Tobata Iron Foundry was to manu-
facture motor parts and accessories on
ar extensive scale. The Dat Co. has
been making trucks. but it was under
stood commercial vehicles now will be
manufactured.
The department said the three do
nestle manufacturers never have pro-
duced more than 200 units per year,
whereas one of the two American as
Sembly plants in Japan has a capacity
of SO units a day and the other 1900
units year.
Plans were reported on foot in Japan
to amalgamate the three manufacturing
companies. The latest plan was for
these three firms to organize a joint
company and allocate the production
of parts to the three existing plants,
while the cars were to be assembled by
a new company.
1t was believed little actual work
would be done on this project in 1881
The success of the plan was understood
to depend to a large extent on the
amount Of subsidy or other protection
the government would extend. 1t is be-
lieved possible the Japanese government
might extend a subsidy of from 100 to
1000 yen per vehicle and grant prefer
entail treatment to domestic cars in
respect to taxation or other government
regulations. This subsidy would amount
to, roughly, $50 to 81 900.

COPPER PRODUCERS
SEEK CURTA|LMENT
Conference May Be Held for
Purpose of Reducing Pres
ent Metal Output.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 10.-Pro-
ducers of copper are considering the
advisability of holding another confer
ence on the curtailment of production,
it was said in important copper Cir
Giles yesterday 1t is understood, how
ever, that no definite decision has yet
been reached.
Present record low prices for cop
per, which are said to represent losses
for several producers, are the impelling
motive for a curtailment agreement.
One of the greatest obstacles to such
a pact is the antitrust laws.
An effective agreement would have
to include Belgian and Canadian as
we'll as American interests. M. Pisart,
Who has represented Belgium in previ-
Gus conferences, is expected to visit
the United States again next month,
which gives rise to the thought that
the conference might be postponed I'M
til then. 1t is thought also that an
agreement between the leading Cana
dian and American interests might be
submitted to the Belgians for their
consideration.
It is recalled that there was some
possibility the conference on the sub
iect last June might result in some
agreement. The Hoover moratorium,
coming shortly before the first meet
ing then. preceded an advance in cop
DER. which persuaded the producers to
defer a decision. The sluggishness of
the copper market in the interim is
ample proof OF the need for curtail-
ment of production, 1t is felt.

SALES OF FARMS
BY BANK INCREASE
Demand for Properties Has
Gained During Year, Says
Head of Institution.


BALTIMORE, Md. September 10
The Federal Land Bank of Baltimore
sold during the first seven months Of
this year nearly twice as many farms
as during the same period of 1890"
said VuloSko Walden, president of the
bank, here today. The demand for
farm properties has improved material
ly over that of year ago, and this and
an increased sales effort also account
for the greater sales.
I'VE find the farmers are not quite
as appreciative of the fact that farms
are now selling at bargain prices as
the people who live in the cities and
towns. Possibly it is not so much a
matter of appreciation of the situation
as it is not having the cash with which
to purchase. We make large number
OF sales to urban people, who are NOV
ing onto the land. Many of these are
families who farmed a few years ago
before they moved to the towns and
cities, when jobs were plentiful and
wages high However, we are selling
to a reasonable number of farmers who
live in the vicinities where the farms
are located and who know just about
what the propertieS are capable of
earning under proper management with
the low overhead which they will have
because of the low purchase price. We
are selling some farms for as little rs
20 per cent of the purchase price down.
with ample time to pay off the second
mortgage, which bears a low rate of
interest.
During the first seven months of
this year the farms sold by this bank
brought $544,681. compared with $780,
TIC for a similar period in 1890"

 with the facade of St Peters and the lcolonnades surrounding the square. It is based on modernized adapta- ton of Roman architecture of the 17th century. The college has three

Pope Dedicates

tContinued from Page l,

the short trip to the new college on the slopes of Janiculum Hills. Two other automobiles containing pre- lates and officials followed.
 George William, Cardinal Munde- lein, archbishop of Chicago. greeted the pope at the college. Students as- sembled for the ceremony cheered.
 The pope entered the college chapel and offered a brief prayer. Then they visited the various halls and rooms of the building before re- turning to the church, where the pope spoke in reply to an address which emphasized the significance of the ceremony of dedication.
 The pope, in his speech, thanked the contributors who made 1t possi- ble to build the new college, saying that he was particularly glad to thank "him who came such a great distance to share in this day of re- joicing.'' He referred to Cardinal Mundelein, who sat or stood at the left of the pope throughout the cere- mony.
 The pope said he was, gratified by the magnificent spectacle" before his eyes and remarked that the im- portance of the dedication did not need to be emphasized because 1t spoke for itself"
 The only other time the pope had left the Vatican was on December 20. 1929. when he motored inform ally to the Lateran Basilica.
 The new college. in which Cardinal Mundelein had great part. was solemnly inaugurated in the heart of Catholic Christendom. It is the most modern structure among the Ponti- tical buildings in Rome.
 The college Is not actually in Vati- can City territory, but 1t will enjoy extra-territorial rights under the Lateran agreement. It forms the left flank of St Peters Square. Being built on the slopes of Janiculum Hill The Vatican palaces form the right flank.
 During the construction of the college, 1t was necessary to shift great amounts of earth from the higher part of the hill to the bottom. to raise the general level of the ground floor to the height of ram parts built by Pope Paul III. As a result the new building stands out above the ramparts-giving 1t a striking; architectural effect.

Twelve hours later his abandoned motor car was found on a lonely road. Two urgent letters were received at the Kelley home last night. One was reported from Dr Kelley and outlined kidnapers' demands for $100,000. Friends of the family de- nied this.
 Markedes' story added another mysterious touch to the disappear Iance of the physician. The restaurant owner said he was at the cashiers desk when "Dr Kel- ley finished eating and came for ward to pay his check.
