'NOAHS ARK'T0 BE LAUNCHED
 AT COLISEUM
Spectacular Produ ction, with Notable Cast, Be-
 gins Showing Tonight

'Noah's Ark" the huge spectacu- lar picture released by Warner Brothers, will be seen at the Cap itol theatre tonight.
 The story of ''Noah's Ark" is by Daryl Francis Zanuck and was di- rected by Michael Curtiz. It was more than three years in produc- ton and is heralded as the finest and most ambitious picture that Warner Brothers have yet made. The settings occupied 38 acres, and thousands of persons were employ ed in the flood scenes, as well as in the events which occur in the sequences depicting modern times.
 Cast Is Notable
 The cast of "Noah's Ark" in- cludes Dolores Costello, as star, with George O'Brien, and Noah Beery, Louise Fazenda, Quinn Will Hams, Paul McAllister, Nigel de Brulier, finders Randolf, Armand Kaliz, Myrna Loy, William " Mong, Malcolm Waite. Nobel John- son, Otto Hoffman and Joe Bono mo.
 'Noah's Ark" is not a Biblical story. It is true there is cer- tain amount of symbolism in it, showing how the heart of man has changed little through the fifty centuries which intervened between the Flood and the Great War. The story begins just before the out break of the World War and the victims of train wreck, on reach ing Paris find the conflict is on.
 Tumult of Nations
 Then they are carried into the tumult of the nations. At one point bomb hits a building where they have taken refuge and they are thrown into a cellar. There a chaplain begins to tell them of Noah and the Flood and as they are carried back to the ancient time, the story is made reality
 In making "Noah's Ark" Warner Brothers have used Vitaphone most effectively. There are some pas sages of speech and symphonic ac- compartment but the most tre- mendous role played by Vitaphone is in the effects during the Flood, and the scenes preceding it.

 Sam Nelson and Battling Weaver went six rounds to draw5 Nel- son, who weighed 150 pounds, had the best of the first three rounds, and Weaver, who tipped the beam at 128, had the advantage in the last three. Starts Out Strong
 Nelson started strong and car ried the battle to his opponent, but in the second half of the bout Sam tired. He went on the de- fensive and rested at every oppor- tunity. His recent attack of in fluenza, no doubt, had something to do with slowing him up. Weav- CT was not too lively, but he show ed what aggressiveness characteriz- ed the last half of the, contest. Neither boxer was in the best phy- sical condition; neither displayed his best capabilities.
 !, Kid Roberts, 132 pounds, and Louis Nabalis, 120 pounds, boxed a five-round draw. The white boy, heavier and taller and with the longer reach, was not inclined to mix.
 Quick and Active The Filipino was quick and ac- tive. He was aggressive, but nearly all of his blows fell short Indeed, both contestants were poor judges of distance. Neither had much of a kick in his punches.
 Before this bout, Kid DeGrasse, a Filipino, was introduced from the ring to the spectators by Announcer Metcalf. The Kid issued a chal- lenge to the winner He may be given his choice of either the boxers in the near future.
 Last nights program attracted fairly large attendance. Before the first bout and afterwards, during intervals between bouts, se- lections were played by the Los Senoritas' orchestra

IMPORT LEVY
| STARTS IN NORWAY
"VoIuntary" Quotas on Lux
uries Designed to Reduce
Purchases Abroad.
BY WILLIAM H. SLOVENIAN.
necial Gable to The Star.

Special Gable to The Star.
OSLO, Norway, November 27.-"Vol-
untary" import quotas on Injuries, de-
signed to reduce this class of imports
i'll some case to less than so per cent
of the volume registered in 1880, are
rapidly being put into effect by Norway
While no official quotas have been
established and the government has
washed its hands of the business, a
Norwegian bankers committee, COM
prising five members. has actually put
the quota system into effect by pro-
viding importers with only enough for
eign exchange to cover fixed quantities
of goods.
In arriving at quotas for each class
of products. the committee has first
considered the average quantity of each
product imported in 1929 and in 1880
and then reduced that average by the
tary" quota on pleasure cars, for ex-
ample, will probably be set at so per
cent of the previous import figures.
American exports of pleasure cars to
Norway last year were valued to $12,-
100000 crowns ($2,450,000).
While definite quotas have been fixed
they are being kept strictly secret in
order to prevent foreign governments
from protesting The unofficial char
acter of the system also saves the Nor
wegian government trouble with for
eign powers.
The quota system is justified, in the
minds of Norwegians, by the severe
tariff policies of other European ma
tions. Following the recent SO per cent
increase in duty on wrapping paper
imported into England, Norwegian
manufacturers have already received a
large number of cancellations of orders,
and there is fear that the British may
go further by giving Canada prefer
entail tariff on wood products similar
to the tariff enacted in 1909, which
threatened the entire Norwegian lum-
Der industry.

Grain Market
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 27.-Infu-
enced by severe breaks in British ex-
change rates and by weakness of Wall
Street securities, grain prices plunged
downward early today under general
selling. The tumble in sterling
amounted to more than cents.
Opening IA to 31s lower, Chicago
wheat futures afterward held near the
initial range. Corn started Il to IL
down and later rallied somewhat.
An overshadowing development in the
wheat trade was the drastic slash in
British exchange rates. This entirely
eclipsed falling off in Black Sea ship
ments, although Russia was credited
with having exported only 448, 900
bushels during the last week. Adding
impetus to selling pressure here was ap-
parent absence of export demand for
wheat from North America. Another
bearish factor was rain and snow in
domestic Winter wheat territory where
there had been complaints of drought.
On one of the downsweeps in wheat.
values went to 1872 cents a buShel below
the high point Of November o. sim
ultaneously, corn fell to more than 10
cents under the recent maximum, Liver
pool reports from Argentina and Aus
tralia were bearish. Another handicap
to bulls was confirmation of recent
advices that Great Britain would estab-
fish a wheat quota sysem. Corn and
oats weakened with wheat.
Provisions reflected downturns of hog
valIes.

GOLD WITHDRAWAL FROM US.
DURING OCTOBER ANALYZED
France Headed List, With Consignment OF
1924, OOO-Smaller European Coun-
tries Accounted for $64 100000 of Total

Classification by countries receiving
the heavy Withdrawals of gold from the
United States during October has been
completed by the Commerce Depart
Inent and is proving an interesting
study, according to reports received
here today in various financial centers.
The departments statistics were COM
pleted within seven, days after it was
announced here that the heavy drain
had virtually ceased, and again imports
of the metal are tending to exceed
exports.
France Leads Importers.
Some department officials held that
the sudden shift in the flow of gold,
which reversed the trend of many
months and took 1898. 6O4 900 from this
country during the last month, was
due to European misconception of the
proposed National Credit Corporation
organized by President Hoover.
France, according to the departments
classification and as every one knew
beforehand, was the largest consignee,
taking 1924 600,0 900 of the general total
shipped. But the $64,000,0OO in gold
that France did not get went to smaller
European markets.
Belgium received $e,678,OOO: Switz-
erland received $17,672 900 and a total
of $35,904,000 went to the Netherlands
Each of these smaller markets obtained
slice of this country's golden melon,
cut during the last week in September
and the first week of October.
It is understood they also figured in
the shipments in the $35 900 900 Trans
vaal gold delivered in England after
September 81, which foreign markets
bought because the Bank of England
could not pay the price in its necessarily
deprecated currency. Therefore, in the
eye Of the financial world, it is not

CURB SHARES DROP
IN HEAVY MARKET
Weakness in Commodities

BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 27.-Heavi-
ness Of commodities, weakness of for
eign security markets, and disturbing
political news over the holiday con-
tributed to the lower price trend on
the Curb Exchange today.
Electric Bond & Share and its chief
foreign operating subsidiary, American
g. Foreign Power, yielded on news of
the grave situation in Manchuria. Cit
les Service was down fractionally,
which also was true of Standard Oil of
Kentucky, Standard Oil of Indiana
and Middle West Utilities.
London cables telling of the Belgian
agreement to curtail copper produc-
ton were hailed with great satisfac-
ton by both TIE trade and investors
here, with the result that copper Sc
curities, under the leadership of New
mont Mining, staged fair recovery.
Rejecting the lower prices of the
white metal, silver shares, notably
Bunker Hill-Sullivan Mining, opened
lower. Eagle Pitcher Lead, which
seldom appears on the tape, was up a
small fraction following the announce
n1ent that stockholders of Consolidated
Lead Co. propose to vote on a merger
with Eagle Pitcher on an exchange of
shares basis.
Omission of the semi-annual dividends
of 60 cents on the class A and B shares
of Ford Motor Co. Of Canada caused
those stocks to decline and unsettled
most of the motors, notably Ford Motor,
Ltd, and Cord Corporation.
The opening was active and lower.
A block of 400 shares of Electric
Bond & Share sold at Is, unchanged,
but on the next few trades the stock
lost half peint. Cities Service at Sc
was down a. Aluminium Co. of Amer
lea scored new minimum Of SO,
loss of points, on a string OF offer
ings. Standard Oil of Indiana was viz
tually unchanged, but Ford Motor OF
Canada A, due to dividend action, lost
more than a point.

TARIFF ON COPPER
IS DECLARED VITAL
Attorney for Producers De-
cIares U. S. Industry
Faces Oblivion.
BY the Associated press.

NEW YORK, November GA. b
Petermann, counsel for three large cop.
per producers, said Tuesday night that
with the copper market outside this
country already lost to foreign compe.
tition the industry in the United
States faces oblivion unless 1t is pro-
tected by tariff.
Petermann. counsel for the Calumet
& Hecla Consolidated Copper Co.,
Phelps-Dodge and the Calumet &
Arizona Co., was a speaker at dinner
of copper producers and experts at the
Engineers Club.
Tracing the growth Of foreign pro-
dtiction since the producers here cur
tailed their output to meet a situation
similar to the present one 10 years ago,
he said that at that time the metal
business of the world was controlled by
companies in the United States due to
the fact that over 81 per cent Of all
commodities came from American
mines.
Foreign production 10 years ago, he
said, was not sufficient to meet the
demands of consumers abroad. But, he
continued, the output abroad, now in
excess of that Of the United States,
is at the present time not only able to
take care of all foreign demands, but
is sufficient to ship the metal into this
country ana at q price lower tnan Inc
cost here. Meanwhile, he held, the
United States has no market for its
surplus.
Opposition to the opinions voiced by
Petermann came from P. E. Barbour
mining engineer and consultant. and
w. W. Lynch and Arthur hoffman.
In 1929, said Barbour, although for
eig1 production was greater than that
of American mines, the output in this
country still was in excess of any in
history. He described the threat of q
foreign invasion as highly exaggerated,
saying that In no year except 1880 had
imports ever exceeded exports and then
only by a few thousand tons, as the
United States attempted to bear the
brunt of curtailment.
He said whether or not American
producers are to retain any .vestige of
their former prominence abroad de-
ponds upon the costs Of output in this
country
