Occasional setbacks may be looked for due to the activi- ties of traders, but 1t seems clear that great many stocks have now reached . level where they have quite discounted the worst in the economic situation, consequently the picking up of the well selected stocks ought to turn out profitably for those who are willing to hold them for a reasonable ime.

MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT DEATH OF
 SILK IMPORTER
Man, Who Left Boat at Halifax for Stroll With Mrs Reissner, to Be Chilled

 New York, Aug 22-(UP)-A man who left the showboat Bel genland at Halifax for a stroll with Mrs Mary Reissner will be questioned to-day in the mysteri- ous disappearance at sea of Hisa- shi Fujimuro, wealthy Japanese importer, companion of the plat mum blonde showgirl.
 Mrs Reissner, Birmingham, Ala, girl who danced as Mary Dale also will undergo further exam ination in an attempt to clear dis crepancies in her version of the six-day "whoopee" cruise with Flu jimuro. She was ostensibly gov erness to the importers seven year old daughter Tokisha.
 Investigators learned of the Halifax incident during the ques- tioning of 59 members of the crew and others when the liner. docked here yesterday. Mrs Reissner was understood to have told Assistant Federal Attorney J. Edward Lum- bard on Wednesday that she went ashore to buy some toys for To- kisha. Witnesses, however, includ-' ed the man in the trip and gave his name.
 The crew was of the opinion that Fujimuro committed suicide. Captain J. H. Doughty, staff com- mander, said he saw the importer early on the morning he disap- peared, clad in evening clothes, eyes fixed dejectedly on deck. He was displeased by Mrs Reissner's visit ashore. The showgirl admit ted she had left him earlier to so to parties on shipboard with other men.
 others questioned said the i'm porter appeared "morose" or "moody"-a circumstance attribut- ed to the fact his wife was about to give birth to child at their Norwalk, Conn, estate. The child was born two days ago.
 The inquiry also will include questioning of three professional gamblers who boarded the ship at Halifax. They will be asked whether they had any dealings with Fujimuro.
 Mrs Reissner yesterday moved her belongings from a house at Rye which investigators said Flu iimuro leased for her,

 Although the "Old Guard" has gone on record as favoring eX-Gov- ernor smith for the presidential nomination, it is practically con ceded that the prime movers be- hind this action are aware that their attempt is not with any hope of seeing the former Empire States chief executive nominated for the presidency.

New York.-Manhattan strang- est midday spectacle may be ob- served in the heart of the famous cloak and suit belt. During the noon lunch hours an entire block in 36th street is roped off and turn ed over to the thousands of work CTS employed in the garment in- dustry. No traffic is allowed to move through this block until a recreation period has ended. Both ends of the street are guarded by mounted policemen. and between them Jam the thousands of hu- mans who swarm from the dozens of skyscrapers in the neighborhood.
 The street takes on the appear ance of a subway at rush hour, or like a Coney Island beach on Sum- day. They gather in vast groups or mill up and down through the damned lanes. arguing. gossiping, haranguing and just chatting in half a doben languages. Most of them are foreigners from the East Side or the upper Bronx. They are filters and cutters and tailors and button-hole makers and clothes craftsmen of every description.

 A stranger, trying to make his way through the vast crowd, won ders why they choose to pack themselves thus, like cattle In 2 box car. The segregated zone was set aside by officials to keep them from packing the sidewalks and streets in front of the buildings where they are employed. Even with this gathering place dedicated to them, throngs still gather else where and impede traffic for an hour or more.
 Just up the street a few blocks facing Broadway, the amusement zone crowds are attracted thesc days by . doughnut- making ma chine. For year or more the crowds watched, in the same win. dow. a tricky machine that turned out cigarettes.
