STAGE CONTRACT
SIGNED BY MA
AND 'WHATAMAN'

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 16. U.P) =
If Aimee Semple MePherson-Hutton
can dramatize religion and touch il
up with theatrical embellishments
there should be no reason why Mrs
Minnie tMa) Kennedy Hudson
should not join the stage to further
her own evangelistic work.
So reasoned the elderly mother of
the Angelus temple leader as she
took the bull by the horns and sign
ed a contract for a 40-Week vaude-
vile tour, which should increase the
Kennedy Hudson family Golfers by
nearly $4,000 a week.
Guy Edward (What-a-M Nam Hud-
son also signed on the dotted line
with Ma" who is head of the
Everlasting Gospel church, but he
was just a bit bewildered today
about the whole proceedings.
Although Aimee's husband, husky
David Hutton, is an accomplished
baritone, Hudson has no particular
parlor, pulpit or stage stunts, he
confessed with a grimace.
I'm fact, If you can tell me some
thing to do in the act I'll give you
all cigars he told newspapermen
today.

TOXIC, Oct. Is. U.P)-The gov
ernment considered two courses of
action today in resisting the League
of Nations decision to invite an AM
erican observer to the council ses-
sions on the Manchurian crisis.
Premier Reijiro Wakatsuki in a
statement to native language news
papers said that Japan doubts the
legality of the invitation, although
appreciating Americas efforts to
preserve peace. Ffe expressed the
hope that the council would give
this point the most careful consid-
Grafton.
The newspapers also reported
that Japan may demand an ad-
journment of the council pending a
study of the legality question. 9th
erwise the government may instruct
Kengichi Yoshizawa, japanese rep
resentative on the council, to re-
main away from the sessions at

Daily Report Of
Stock Markets

T NEW YORK, Oct 16. UP) =
Stocks rose l to points today and
held a large amount of the gain
despite last minute profit taking.
| Bonds were distinctly irregular,
featured by crash in United States
government issues, all but one of
which made new lows for the year
or longer.
Trading in stocks was on small
scale. What buying developed was
helped along by a vote of confidence
given the Bruening government in
! Germany; a more optimistic tone
in the weekly trade reviews; antici-
patton of favorable response from
the l. c. C. on the railroad petition
for a higher freight rate, and the
better commodic, markets.
The railroad shares led the mar
ket throughout the day.
Late in the day, U. S. Steel made
progress ahead after a brief period
of profit taking 1t was up more
than a point from the previous
close, buying helped by anticipation
of increasing business for steel COM
panies from the automobile trade
and early estimates that the corpo-
ration would see fit to declare the
same dividend OH common paid IN
the preceding quar,er. Steel direc-
tors meet for dividend action on
Tuesday, October 27.
Leading industrials followed steel
upward.
Selling in the United States bonds
was a result of firmer money rates.
The widest break in U. S. loans
was in treasury 3ls per cent bonds
which broke more than four points
in one of the widest declines ever
witnessed in this class of bonds.
With u. S. bonds selling down
SO rapidly, the street came to the
conclusion that foreign governments
had about decided reparations pay
ments would not be resumed after
the Hoover moratorium expired.
These governments can make pay
ments to the United States in our
bonds at par regardless of market
value at the time. The ordinary
procedure is to buy liberty and
treasury issues when they break be-
low par. This substantiating in
fluence was entirely missing from
today's market.

A few minutes later the liner
flashed the Dollar radio station
here that it was proceeding to the
