 Volume increased on >the drop and tickers fell behind several minutes near the .clost as traders dumped their stocks overheard for what they would bring. Losses ranged to points. Accom- panying the crash was a wide open break in wheat which closed off more, than 2 cents bushel 2 drop to nsw scaAo mar lows in com: decline of several points in cot ton; and a lower. bond Stnarknt where rails were particularly weak. Curb stocks were driven down l to 10 points.
 Disappointment over failure of wheat to rise started the. selling which gathered headway a sthe session progressed. The. list had been in a narrow trading range for more than 10 days and ob- servers said. 1t needed only 8 start in either direction to set its course. Weakness in wheat was due partly to foreign selling and partly to unloading .gby traders who bought recently anticipating bull market for the cereal in line with recent predictions.
 The day started mildly. Prices at the outset were mixed with fair sprinkiing of gains. Volume slowed down for a time and some issues rallied, from their initial levels. Then wheat opened with losses ranging to more than cent a bushel and the liquidation in stocks set in in earnest.

ROARING FOREST FIRE SWEEPS OVER
 MANY VILLAGES
Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington Blackened Ruins as Losses Reach Millions

Portland, Ore, Oct 5-(U. P.)- The northwest fought feverishly to-day to save human lives spared almost miraculously by a roaring forest fire that whipped over re- fugees immersed in tepid streams until flames died down.
 It was the worst fire, old resi- dents said, in the history of the white man in northwest Oregon, and southwest Washington. Loss was estimated in the millions, thousands of acres of virgin timber was still burning, and fires were breaking out hourly in scattered regions.
 Evacuation of threatened vil- lages was speeded. Refugees from a dozen logging camps. isolated farms and the hamlets of Cochran, Oregon, already destroyed, were being cared for outside the fire zones.
 The men and women whose resi- dences and jobs went up in the same thick pail of smoke, bathed smoke blackened. heat cracked faces. They told of lying in streams, holding soaked blankets over their heads, as flames roared over them.
 Miraculously, not single fata1- ity had been automatically report ed.

ROOSEVELT AND SMITH

Two Unite to Defeat Tam= many By Nominating Lehman for Governor Leadership of Curry Hangs in Balance
By LOWELL l.. LEAKE

New York, Oct 5-UP)-The most dramatic election campaign in this states history was promised to-day with Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt reunited and fighting as "happy warriors" to make Herbert H. Lehman governor of New York.
 They whipped Tammany Hall to nominate Lehman. They left the leadership of Boss John F. Curry hanging by thread so slender that it might be snapped by any miscue in the state or national campaign, or the fight on Mayor Joseph V. Mckee of New York.
 Their next fight will be waged on William J. (Wild Bil) Donovan. republican candidate for governor. He has been called on by the vag- aries of politics to hold New York for the republicans after his own expected appointment to the cabi- net of President Hoover failed to materialize in 1928, the year he led the fight for Hoover.

Hartford. Conn, Oct 5.-(UP)- Governor Wilbur L. Cross will not call a special session of the general assembly unless some "new emer- gency" arises. he announced defin- ftely to-day.

 The governors comment was as follows: .,''
 Though the situation remains serious, all the. municipalities of the state will be able, in the opin- ion of the governor, to carry on, without assistance of the state, most of their. relief work until the regular session of the general assembly in January.
 Accordingly. unless some new emergency arises, he does not tn- tend to summon, the general as sembly in special session.
 Thorne's report, based on a care- full study of the financial condition of the municipalities, many of which had asked for state assist ance, was divided into these 2S points: n

BATTLE TO KEEP GOLD STANDARD
 NOW REVEALED
Country Faced Crisis Last April and May-Gold Reserves Now Are En- cOuraging

Washington, October 5 - (UP) - The story of an epic battle of finance which kept the United States on the gold standard was revealed today.
 It is a story of harried officials struggling against tremendous in- ternationlL forces during the dark days of financial crisis, of midnight conferences at which the stability of the worlds money marts trembled in the balance.
 President Hoover's speech at Des Moines in which he admitted that the United States was at one time on the verge of abandoning the gold standard unlocked the lips of fiscal officials.
 From them there was pierced the narrative of events as recent as April and May of this year. That was the time of the secon1 great drain of American gold. Panicky Europeans were. demand ing gold exchange; panicky Ameri- cans were hoarding at tremend- ous rate.
