GANDH| SAYS j. S.
DOESN'T WANT HIM
Will Not Visit America-Sees
No Change in British

LONDON, September IL (F1.-
Mahatma Gandhi arrived in London
from Folkstone this afternoon and
went directly to the headquarters of
the Society of Friends in Euston
road.

MARSEILLE. September 12-Ma-
hatma Gandhi has no intention of visit
ing the United States because he be-
lieves he is mot wanted" there, he said
in an interview here yesterday on his
way to London to attend the second
round-table conference on India.
He explained that he refused to con-
template such visit unless and until
he could feel certain that Americans
India's cause and not as a social
curiosity. His American friends had
told MIN, he added, this was not now
possible.
Mr.. Gandhi left Marseille yesterday
afternoon for London after the most
dramatic arrival ever staged by an
Oriental visitor to European shores.
Defying the apprehensive predictions of
his friends. he appeared wearing his
ndJlNe 1nQldl OEeSS.
AbandOns Loin Cloth.
He had abandoned the abbreviated
loin cloth. which is his sole garment
all year around in India. fer full
fledged dhoti a long cotton garment
swathed around his waist and neither
limbs. Around his narrow body and
shoulders, which are left aScetically
bare under the ardent rays of the Indian
sun. he wore a white hand-woven
wooden shawl But his legs were as
bare as ever and his feet were encased
in the same much-worn leather sandals.
In this authentic native dress Mr..
Gandhi proposes to brave the fiercest
rigors of the English climate and even,
If need be. the still chillier social con-
ventionS of Buckingham Palace, for it
is certain he will accept the invitation
extended by King George to him and
the other Indian delegates to attend a
reception at the palace during the
round table conference.
Indifferent to Climate.
ITO climatic conditions I am indiffer-

explained in his curiously meek yet
defiant voice.
IF the political weather Is favorable,
I will go anywhere where am needed. '

KASUNIIGAURA. Japan, September
12.-The tail end of a typhoon in For
mosa whipped the waters off Osaka to-
day and caused Col and Mrs. Charles A.
Lindbergh to postpone their take-off from
here for Osaka.
The newspaper Nichi Nichi published
a report that the colonel had informed
several officers of the naval station here
that he hoped to fly back to America
via the Philippines, Guam, Marshall
Island and Hawaii.
Col Lindbergh explained the report
probably came from the fact that he
had discussed the feasibility of perhaps
all routes in the world including a re-
turn via the Azores and also the posi-
bility of flying back by way of Green
land using skis for landing gear in
Winter weather.

WARNS AGAINST
SILVER TRADING
Speculation Is Scored by
KenneCott Director.

By Times Special
NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Warnine
against speculation in silver metal
was sounded Tuesday night by S
R. Guggenheim, director of the
Kennecott Copper Company, and a
brother of Simon Guggenheim
president of the American Smelling
and Refining Company, largest
dealers in the world in precious
metals.
Return of the metal to its pre-
war use, however, was stressed by
Guggenheirn as essential. He con-
tended that such a revival in its
use as a monetary basis would tend
to restore trade with India and
China.
Sterilization Of the metal was adj
vocated by Guggenheim, who said
that some international body would
deal with the subject.
Prior to a conference" he con-
tinued, much will doubtless be done
to stabilize silver. The -ommittee
appointed by the international
chamber of commerce recently has
made report in which it recon-
mended cooperative action between
the American producers, the Indian
government and others. This is a
wise suggestion, out of which much
good might come"

United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Weakness
in amusement shares brought irreg-
ularity into the stock market today.
The market opened irregular, frmed
up around the end of the first hour
and then turned irregular. Around
noon the majority of prices showed
losses of fractions to more than a
point, the railroad group being a
notable exception to the downtrend.
Weakness in the amusement
group centered around Radio-Keith-
Orpheurn, which set record low at
5, off y from the previous close.
Earlier this year the issue touched
2415., 1t made it's record high in
1928 at 5112.
Statement Is Poor
Radio-Keith's recent earnings
statement made a very poor show
ing, and today it was learned the
whole capital structure of the cor
poration would have to be reorgan-
lied to meet maturing bank loans
and provide additional working
capital.
Stock of Radio Corporation,
which owns a large block of Radio
Keith Orpheum stock, dropped
nearly two points to 11%, which
was only rs points above the low
of the year.
Other amusements followed. War
ner Brothers which today reported
a net loss of nearly 100000 for
the year ended Aug. 20, sold off
nearly point to SIS. Paramount,
another company to report reduced
earnings recently, was down frac-
tionally at 1872.
Trade Continues Small
The heavy selling in the amuse-
ments had an unsettling effect on
the general industrial list Trading,
however, continued small.
Steel common around noon, was
at 713s, off l; Case 81, off u; West
inghouse Electric 48A, off IN;
Allied Chemical "a, off IL; Ameri-
can Can 84A, off 1, and General
Motors 1885, off T..
Firmness in the rails was a
feature. Advance of fractions to
more than point were noted in
the majority of issues. Utilities on
the other hand reacted to net losses
of l to az points. Oils held quiet
and lower. Metal shares dipped.

BETTER TRADE
IN ALL LINES
is INDICATED
Bumper Crops and Rising
Prices Pave Way for
Improvement.
By United Press

~ UHtted PfcSS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-An i'm
proved morale on the part Of bust
ness leaders, farmers and the pub
lie IN general was indicated here
today in reports received from va
rious parts of the country by gov
eminent agencies.
The agriculture departments
monthly crop report reveals that
the American farmer during 1881
raised bountiful crops which, de-
spite the low prices that prevailed,
now appear to be furnishing
foundation for an improvement in
agriculture and business.
Last spring high administration
official expressed the opinion that
a season of plentiful crops would
give the farmer a purchasing power
even if prices persisted at low
level, with resulting benefits all
along the line. Grain prices have
strengthened since then, adding
millions to the value of crops still
held on the farm. and the farmer
will go into the winter in better
condition than year ago. A sub
stantial reduction in the winter
wheat crop is expected.
Price Upturn Important
The recent upturn in commodity
prices was given as the most i'm
portant reason for the more gener-
ally optimistic outlook for the fu-
ture.
For the most part, however, en-
couraging signs were reflected in
statistical reports for October. But
attention was called to the fact
that figures were for the entire
month and could not fully reflect
the change which did not get under
way until late in the period.
Reports received by President
Hoover's commission on unemploy-
ment relief showed conditions still
to be spotty with almost all terri
tories finding trade figures below
year ago, and in some cases be-
low the normal seasonal improve
4AAC44O OQC az OA1lO O4111C VI O4lC JGd1 g..
Steel showed a slight upturn in
many instances, which was regard
ed as significant The Pittsburgh
district reported an increase in pro-
duction for the second consecutive
week, with about $500 men return
ing to work during the ten days
ending Nov. 5.
Steel Orders Improving
Buffalo likewise noted a Slight
improvement in its steel mills. Biz
mingham reported the cast iron
pipe industry faces prospects of new
orders "far in excess of the usual
winter demand"
Retail trade was reported to be
tagging, but this was attributed
largely to unseasonably warm
weather in October.
The federal reserve boards re-
port for department store sales in
October showed a decrease of Is per
cent against year ago and a 10
per cent decrease for the ten month
period from Jan. /. Observers noted,
however, that the decline could be
attributed largely to lower retail
prices prevailing generally.
