BONDS IN j. 8.

NEW YORK, Aug. II G.N.S0.
Russian circles here were taken
by surprise today by reports that
the Soviet government was ar.
ranging a campaign to sell mil.
lions of dollars of 10-year gold
bonds here and abroad to finance
an expansion in their trade.
The bonds under the reported
plans will be redeemable on de-
mand in the currencies of the
countries in which they are mar
keted and will pay 10 per cent
interest. In their sales campaign,
Russia will have the assistance of
American financial experts.
A tremendous increase of Soviet
trade with this country was
visioned by Wall Street today if
the bond issue goes through as
announced. The financial district
is specializing what. if any, notice
will be taken of Russian trade by
President Hoover in his speech to-
night.
In this country the transfer of
funds and delivery of the bonds
will be handled by the Chase Ma
tional Bank of New York and the
international Acceptance Bank.

TOKYO, Aug. / UN.SO.-An
informal statement protesting the
recent speech Of Secretary of
State Stfmson, which Japan in
terprets as a yelled attack upon
her military activities in Man
churia, will be issued shortly by
Foreign Minister Count Kenkichi
Uchida, it was reported today
Count Uchida has been
prompted to go on record in pro-

said, as the result of intense in

which virtually dictates Japan's
aggressive Manchurian policy.
Militarists were united in con-
demning the Stimsor speech,
which they described as a de-
liberate attack upon Japan's
entire foreign policy. Many ermy

MARKET DULL
AS WHEAT
SLUMPS
Rumors of Recognition of
Russia by U. S. Fail to Hold
Up Early Spurt

NEW YORK, Aug. II
S.).-After setting the
most terrific trading pace in
nearly two years in the fore
noon today, the stock market
found its exuberance too diff
cult to maintain and paused
for a breathing spell.
Stocks we're whirled up one to
four points to new highs on the
recovery in the first hour and
then gave ground under heavy
profit-taking. BY early after
noon the gains, other than in a
few specialties, were wiped out
and leaders like U. S. Steel and
American Telephone slipped one
to two points below yesterdays
close.
Stampede in Buying
There was a deluge OF buying
in the first half hour following
reports of steps being taken here
pointing toward eventual recog
milton of Russia. Speculative
imagination was fired by the
prospect of the possible opening
of this enormous new market to
American manufacturers and
there was a stampede to buy
stocks.
The farm implement shares
were the principal beneficiary.
Case ThreShing Spurted four
points to a new 1882 peak, with
international Harvester close be-
hind.
American Telephone ran up
two points to a new high and
substantial gains were made by
other issues like American Can,
Allied Chemical, American To-
bacco B, Chesapeake and Ohio,
and Norfolk and western.
The selling in the afternoon
took on volume proportions for
the first time in the current re-
covery. A bad break in wheat,
which slumped more than 2 cents
a buShel, brought general unload
ing from the speculative COM
munity.
Market Turns Dull
The market turned dull after
the selling was absorbed, and
there was a partial recovery with
U. S. Steel coming back a point
from it's low. 1t was still more
than a point under yesterdays
close.
Silver stocks were again out
standing in the mining group with
gains of l to points. Cerro de
Pasco and American Smelling set
the pace. The gains were wiped
out later.
Utilities were sluggish through
out the morning upturn and
turned weak with the rest of the
market.
Wheat was the sole sour spot in
commodities. Silver and cotton
scored sharp gains but these were
not maintained. Other commodi-
ties were firm. Bonds were strong.

Several hours after his start,

Premature reports that the
household of Mrs. Dwight Nor

friend said:
"It is unlikely the baby will
come in less than two weeks
time, but the family is prepared
for the event any time after
August 10.
Mrs. Lindbergh is quite well,
and has suffered no i'll effects
from the terrible strain she was
under during the spring and
early summer"

Her Kidndped Baby

Blood tests to determine the
parentage of Edith Riley, 13,
Washington's cupboard child"
were asked today in a letter
from a Maryland woman to
Assistant U. S. Attorney Michael
Shea.
Mrs. Catherine Virginia Mar
tin, of Clarke Station, near An
napolis, said she believed the
child who had spent four years
of her life in virtual captivity
in an airless cupboard was her
own offspring.
The woman said her child was
kidnapped nine years ago from
Catonsville, Md, and had certain
characteristics of the Riley child.
Mr.. Shea notified the Women's
Bureau and instructed Mrs. Ruby
Brandt, of that bureau, to investi-
gate. Mrs. Brandt, together with
The Washington Times, was re-
sponsible in recovering the child
from the dungeon-like closet at
ITO Rhode Island Avenue N. w.
last November.
When informed of Mrs. Mar

dale, the child's maternal grand
mother, became alarmed. She
said, however, she was present at

resulted in the death of the

Clarke, whom she never saw
"when he wasn't depressed, "
declared "life was not worth
living without Mrs. Keith Mil

meal, and then by friend who
accompanied Clarke, she said.
Richard Richardson, friend of
Clarke, testified he heard the
youth discuss suicide several
times, the last occasion three
weeks before his death. He tes-
titled:
'Haden said DIR. Cassidy, of
the Bellevue Hospital, New York
city, told him the best place
to shoot himself was through
the head, behind the ear. Clarke
said the doctor told him he
knew of a case where a man

Referred to Rasputin
A discussion of the death of
Rasputin, mad monk of Russia"
who was reported shot many
times before he was finally killed,
led to Clarke's exposition on the
best method of suicide, Richard
son said.
Clarke also mentioned a man
who jumped from the eighth
story of a New York hotel,
landed on the top of a taxicab,
and lived, the witness said.
Richardson said another case
Clarke mentioned was that of a
woman leaping in front of sub
way train and living though
badly mangled. Richardson said:

to, know where to shoot my.
self and stay shot indicating

Public interest, nationwide in

Mrs. Walker, who came to
