United Press Stan COrreSpOndcnt)
 New York, Oct. 22.-(UP).- Mile Jose Laval, the slender, dark haired daughter of the premier of France, gazed over the heads of a score of reporters as the city tug Macon carried her into New York harbor and said she thought Am erican "sob sisters" were charming, but she was bit frightened by the skyscrapers tower above the bat tery.
 Learning that the women report CTS of New York were human and friendly was the most astonishing first impression of America, the 19-year-old French girl explained. She had been told that they were hard" and she had been nervous about meeting them.
 She had, she continued, spent the last two days rehearsing with news papermen on board the He de France in preparation for their questions. When she followed her father from the liner to the Macon, she picked a strategic spot on the upper deck where she stood with her back against the wall, near a doorway htat offered an avenue of escape, and faced the "sob sisters with a timid grin.
 Within wto minutes the grin be- came a warm, enthusiastic smile as she explained to a dozen women re- porters not much older than her

self that she was terribly excited about New York, that she wanted to know how the average New York girl lived and that she was going to see Q football game.
 "Of course, I would like to stay in New York;" she told them in her precise but strongly-accented English. But then that is impos- sible."
 She twisted her dark head, half covered by a snug blue hat, and looked at her father, who stood a dozen feet away, bravely holding his silk hat against a stiff wind. attempting to understand the shouted instructions of newspaper photographers and occasionally fumbling the crude knot which held his ever-present white string tie in place.
 T can't get over the tall build- ing" Mile Laval said after mo- pient, apparently having been coached to be properly enthusias- tic about the sky line. They make me feel like pigmy. If any once had an idea of personal gran deur. he could only look at these buildings and see how small hu- lnanity is."
 With a graceful motion of her hand she indicated she should join her father. She stood with her shoulder touching his as they posed for more pictures and took u salute of 19 guns from Gov ernors Island.
 Mile Jose and her father are of about the same height, although the sturdy build of the premier, his aggressive, struggling black inoustache and his constantly-at- tentive eyes give an impress of power and dignity. He cannot speak English.
 Crowded into a corner of a cab in, with reporters jammed around him, firing questions about every thing from parliament to the score of airplanes which rushed overhead, t he premier looked across to the correspondent and remarked:

 New York, Oct 22.-UP)- Copper shares stood out as the only strong group in to-day's stock market. These issues showed gains of fractions to point while the industrials lost l to 2; rails to 3 and utilities to points. Au- burn Auto swung down 10 points.
 Trading frightened on the decline, sales to 1880 totaling only 900.00O shares, against 1,600.000 shares in the same period yesterday.
 Bonds turned down late in the day in the domestic section and the foreign group lost some of an early advance. Cotton futures re- acted several points and grains dipped below the previous close.
 Steady selling and light demand wore away values in the industrial division. Weakness there was furthered by failure of the railroad section to sustain a moderate re- covery. A downturn in the utilities also worked against the general market. The industrial average lost more than 3 points; while the utility and rail averages were off about 1-4 points each from the previous close.
 Firmness in Coppers was based on expectations of curtainment of production to result from a con ference of world producers. This curtailment, 1t was anticipated, would increase prices which are now below production cost for some companies. Buying brought Kennecott to 16 up 1; American Smelling 27 1-2 up 3-S; Anaconda 17 7-s up 1-2; and Cerro de PUas- co 16 7-8 up 5-8.

 A rare bust of George washing ton has found it's way into the United States after an unknown existence of 130 years in England.
 When Representative Sol Bloom, associate director of the United States George Washington Bicen- tennial ommission, returned from Europe last summer, he brought back with him an art rarity. 1t is a marble bust of George Wash ington by the great English sculp- tor of the late 18th and early 18th centuries, Joseph Nollekens. This bust was not executed from life, but from an iriginal painting by Gilbert Stuart; and, in the 13O years of so of it's existence, has been viewed by but few Americans. As a matter of fact many Ameri- can art critics have never even heard of it.
 Joseph Nollekens, one of the best known scupptors in all of Europe at the turn of the 18th century, was born in London, of Dutch parents, on August Il, 1737. In 17.60 he ' ent to Rome where he soon made his mark in the world of art. Twelve years later, in 1772, at the earl-. a,,e of thirty-five, Joseph became a member of the London Royal Academy.
 His reputation rose steadily. He made busts of the leading people of his day. Included in his long list of patrons, to mention just a few, are: King George. III, the Prince of Wales, Lord Grenville, Charles James Fox, Samuel John son and Oliver Goldsmith.
 Washington's busts were even then COL handing large prices both in America and in England. AL lured by the prospect of hand- some profit and intrigued by the personality and reputation of Gen. eral Washington, Ntllekens set to work and produced his bust which is now coming into prominence.
 Representative Bloom is the possessor of the original Nollekens bust and hundreds of replicas have already found their way to all parts of the United States.
 Every United States senator and representative has been presented with one of these busts and the United States George Washington bicentennial commission Is now making arrangements to present one to each of the forty-eight gov ernors of the states.
 The original Nollekens bust o1 George Washington is now open to view at the headquarters of the United States George Washington bicentennial commission, Wash. ington Building, Washington. D. C.
