BATTLE FIVE SETS
TO DEFEAT FRENCH
Allison and Van Ryn Keep
America in Running-TWo
Singles Today Tell.
BY FRANK H. KING,
Associated Press Staf Writer.

DARIS, July 30.-A nimble,
- crafty pair of American
L youngsters, Wilmer Allison
and Johnny Van Ryn,
teamed to perfection today to win
a bitter three-hour doubles battle
with France, score the first Amer
lean victory in three matches. and
revive United States hopes of
Davis Cup victory that all but died
yesterday.
Through five long sets, always improv-
ing as the duel wore on, the crack
doubles combination from overseas
downed Henri Cochet and Jacques Brug-
non, 6-3, 11-13, IS, +6. Ga,
before a frantic French crowd of 10, 900
in the Roland Garros Stadium and car
ried the 1882 fate of the historic trophy
over in to the final pair Of singles
matches tomorrow.
THERE it will be the monumental
l. task Of Allison and his singles COM
patriot. lanky Ellsworth Vines, to
come back from the defeats of the open
ing day to win both matches If the
United States is to regain the cup after
i've years in the hands of the French.
Tonight 1t seemed as though the final
match Of the series, the singles battle
OF Vines and the master Cochet, might
still prove to be the deciding contest
OF the five.
On the basis of the form he displayed
today, Allison will be at least an even
favorite to down Jean Borotra, the
amazing veteran who pleaded that he
was too old for singles play and then
took the courts to crush Vines in the
opening day upset.
Victory for the tall Texan would knot
the series at two victories each, leaving
the issue squarely before Vines and
Cochet. The great Frenchman was
pressed in winning his opening brush
Friday with Allison and today his form
was still a puzzle that only tomorrow,
and the pressure of Vines on top of
his game, can solve.
TO-DAY it was Brugnon, the shadowy
L veteran whose unspectacular. un-
dramatic play has brought France
many Davis Cup victory, who de-
served the credit for the great stand Of
the French against the magnificent play
of Allison and Van Ryn.
The American youngsters attacked
him continually, but they never could
break him, except at the net. his great
stronghold, where occasionally he drop
ped over angled point winners The
mighty Cochet was just another doubles
player, doing nothing to provide a re-
liable gauge of the form that may make
or break the French defense tomorrow.
Allison was particularly brilliant as
he led the American attack, but it was
the steady support of Van Ryn that
enabled the Texan to roam the court
free as he maneuvered for slashing
placements.

RUSSIA GOOD MARKET
FOR u. S. OIL MACHINERY

BY the Associated Press.
Soviet Russia bought $4,000, 900 worth
of American oil well and refinery ma
chinery during the four-year period
1928-1931. Venezuela followed with
purchases of $Il 100000 and the Dutch
East Indies with $7,000,000 Exports in
this category for the four years totaled
$76, 600, 900. rising from $l5.000.00O in
1926 to 5000. 600 in the peak year of
1929. The 1880 figure was S23, 800, 900
and that for 1881 was Sl0,650,000.
In spite of the 1930-3l decrease, the
Commerce Department noted bright
spots in a renewed upward trend OF Co.
lombian purchases, gradual increase
in exports to Japan and substantial
improvement in German demand for
both well-drilling and refinery equip
ment The department explained that
the decline in the yearly totals was due
to low prices of petroleum products,
which reduced the purchasing power OF
oil-producing interests throughout the
world and consequently limited the de.
mand for new equipment. The United
States retained its place as the worlds
principal source of such machinery,
with Germany second and Great Britain
third.

T Walter Fred, president of a prom
inent hosiery manufacturing concern,
declares that in many ways the depres-
sion has been blessing. Business men
have become more human, courageous
and brainy. and have come to disre-
gard so-called normal conditions and
have placed their plants on a paying
basis under conditions as they exist
right now, not as 1t Is hoped they Will
be some time in the future.
In summing up his reasons for con-
sidering the depression as helpful, Mr.
Fred says:
II am not so sure that this black
pail which is spread over this country
that is called depression is such q bad
thing. I am not so sure that 1t isn't
a blessing to many of us.
"Of course, it is crying shame that
men and women and children should
be hungry In this land of Astounding
plenty, and this condition should and
must be corrected.
But to those of us who still have
some sort of a job. and to those busi-
nesses that have survived the storm, the
depression has, I think, brought more
lasting good things than bad things. 1t
is true that all of us have lost lots OF
money. and most of us are busted fiat
and all of us have to work twice as
hard as We ever Gid in our lives to
get by at all But going through this
depression with unconquered spirits has
given us things more valuable than the
money We lost Don't worry, in due
time We will make that money back
too, and with interestD
Has Developed Character.
"This depression has given us
stamina. moral courage. keener ap-
probation of the fact that there are
things more valuable than money. ,such
as honor, and it has given us feeling
of greater sympathy with our fellow
man. In short. the depression has de-
veloped real character in us, as indi-
viduals and as businesses.
Under the boom times we were fast
developing into jellyf1sh. Everything
was so easy we could not develop spirit
ual or mental muscles.

larger net profits. More and more cor
porationS will be unable to meet their
dividend payments. 1t is quite prob
able that corporations will be passing
their dividends for from to IL months
after the date of the recovery in prices.
Consequently, the gain in purchasing
power will be slow in spite of the
greater will to spend among those
whose securities have ceased to decline.
This applies to those who depend for
their income on earnings from labor
or services. Employment will also ex-
pand cautiously and at an average
scale of pay well below that returned
for similar work two and three years
ago and with less hours of work in
each week.
1t Is too much to expect that a coun-
try that has been as PROSTATE CONNER
cially as the United States for the past
15 months can suddenly witness an in
dustrial revival. We believe that the
crisis has been passed and shall not BE-
discouraged If the period of recupera-
ton is interrupted by those setbacks
that are natural in all such circum-
stances.

well. there's plenty of chance to

of survival of the fittest of businesses
and Of individuals. And it's not going
to be necessarily the brairy ones who

what brains they have, and who have
the moral courage to fight.
And We will come through this
period finer, more able men. and we
will be stronger and more efficient be-
cause of the difficulties we have
encountered and overcome.
I'm all our calculations we are figur-
ing that the present conditions are
normal and not those of boom times
OF the past We are making our plans
for profitable operations based on con-
ditions as they exist now, not based on
better times. and We are operating 100
per cent. full time. day and night. and
making money under present condi-
tions.
Lost No Resources.
1--WE are not basing any hopes or
plans on the many indications that
better times are close at hand, such
as bumper farm crops produced at very
low cost, shortage Of merchandise on
the merchants shelves throughout the
country, and the opinion of the statis-
ticians and business prophets that the
corner is already turned For example,
a great number of merchants have told
me in the last two weeks that their
New York buying offices have written
them that for the first time in three
years they think that commodities have
reached the bottom, and 1t Is now safe
to buy ahead.
Nor are we taking into consideration
the fact that there has been sub
stantial advance in some farm COM
moditieS, such as hogs.
But we should keep in mind the
fact that there are just as many people
in this country as there ever were, and
we are still the richest nation in the
world. and have not lost any of our
abundant natural resources.
Again say, the depression has done
me good"

WATERWAYS PLAN
TO HIT BALTIMORE
St. Lawrence Project Would
Take Traffic From Port
and B. & O. Railroad.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The star
BALTIMORE, August 6.-The Balti-
more g. Ohio Railroad will feel the
effect of the st. Lawrence waterway
project in decreased freight tonnage to
and from the Middle West If that area
finds it economical to divert the major
portion of its European trade through
the new channel when, and if, it is
opened, it is said here.
The extent to which the railroad, as
we'll as the entire port Of Baltimore
and especially the grain shippers, will
bear the burden of leSSened tonnage
cannot be. estimated at this time. ac-
cording to the view of traffic author
tiles.
Until the project assumes more
definite form and the actual scope of
its inroad upon freight burdens now
hauled on American railroads can be
aScertained, it is impossible to predict
how greatly the B. & o. will be af-
fected, it was said by A, S. Baker,
assistant to the traffic vice president
of the railroad.
viii Affect All Lines.
1--WE are studying everything con-
nected with the waterway proposal
with great care, but we have reached
no definite conclusion at the present
time except the obvious one that We
will certainly be affected to the eX-
tent that some freight now carried by
the Baltimore & Ohio will be diverted
otherwise" Mr.. Baker said.
Grain and other freight taken from
the Middle Western areas and exported
through the st. Lawrence will mean
e corresponding loss to all the Atlantic
seaports and to all the railroads bring
ing freight to and from the West, Mr..
Baker said
New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Norfolk and even New Orleans will be
hit by the waterway, it is said.
But there is nothing at all on which
to estimate at the present time how
greatly the B. g. o. will be loser. -
Mr.. Baker said. Until the situation
assumes more definite form We cannot
say with any degree of positiveness just
what stand we would take regarding
the project AS a general proposition,
it seems that it would be unfavor-
able"
Meet This Month.
Mr.. Baker pointed out that the rail-
road has huge investments in grain ele-
vators in Baltimore and other Atlantlc
ports which would be made partially
useless should the bulk of the Western
grain find its way down the st. Law
renee on steamships.
THE railroad would also be hit in
the case of imports diverted to the
West by way of the waterway" Mr..
Baker said
Special port commissions of the At
Iantic Coast cities will meet this month.
probably in Baltimore. to discuss the
project. AS a result of the conference,
it was thought that a joint committee
would be named to appear before the
Senate committee headed by Senator
Borah, which is to conduct hearings on
the project.
1t was thought that should the water
way treaty be confirmed by the Senate
about seven years would be required to
bring it to completion, at cost of
S543 429,0 900, half of which would be
borne by Canada.

BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Washington bankers yesterday ex-
pressed keen satisfaction over the re-
port that despite unemployment and
decreased earning power, mutual saw
ings banks in the United States had a
gain in new accounts in the first half
of 1882. Between January l and June
80 there was an increase of 72,468 ac-
counts, bringing the total of all ac-
counts in mutual savings up to 49,
432, ,139, a new high point
The average of this number of ac-
counts amounted to s74331 on June 80,
a slight decrease from the average of
six months before of $75O77. Savings
bankers say that the best measure Of
savings activity is in the number of
new accounts rather than in the
amounts involved.
Wilson G. Wing of Providence, r. L.,
president of the National Association
of Mutual Savings Banks, made the re-
port. He added that while accounts
were growing, the banks likewise in
creased their percentage of surplus to
deposits. He considered the moderate
drop in deposits during the six months
as only normal.
