today that the Democratic

which is now lying before Con-

Great pals of smoke arising

The latest japanese onslaught

artillery forces combining in the
attack, hundreds of shells landed
within the walled city. The his.

BODY Of GIRL Z

The body of an unidentified
girl, her neck apparently broken.
was taken from the muddy waters
of the Potomac River at the foot
Of Sixth Street Southwest at noon
today.
Preliminary examination failed
to reveal either the girls identity
or the manner in which she met
her death. Further efforts to de-
termine who she is will be made
later today, according to Deputy
Coroner R. Magruder Mcdonald.
No autopsy will be made until she
is identified.
Indications that the girl may
have met with foul play were seen
in the fact that when Harbor Po-
licemen r. C. Ault and w. F. Fey
took the body from the water her
head moved IN manner suggest
ing that the neck was broken.
The body was removed to the
District Morgue.
The girl, brunette, was about
IS, S feet 2 inches tail, and
weighed about ITO pounds. She
was wearing a red dress, brown
coat and tight-fitting black hat.
The girl is believed to be the
one who was driven to Seventh
and Water Streets Southwest
Thursday night by F. r. Hopkins,
cab driver, 900 block E st. S. E.
Upon leaving the cab, Hopkins re.
ported the girl ran toward the
river. Police dragged the waters
for several days afterward in an
effort to locate the body.

Schools must hold fire drills
frequently, in an orderly fashion
with a maximum time of three
minutes for emptying the school,

Diamond Sales
OAmericanS
AOw Rise

Somebody must be prosperous.
At any rate, Americans are
buying a lot more diamonds.
The Department Of Commerce
hears from Amsterdam that ex-
ports during September to
American ports totaled ITO
carats, valued at $376,006-the
largest amount shipped here
since November, 1890.
Value of diamonds shipped
here in the first nine months
of this year was 40 per cent
in excess of shipments for the
period last year.
However, they were much
less than in the flush year of
1929, when everybody vas buy
ing diamonds, for the average
this year was 1000 carats a
month, and then it was $4,000.
Although there has been a
big pickup in diamond exports
from Amsterdam, the trade
isn't normal yet, by any means.

PARLEY CALLED
NEXT WEEK
To DECIDE
Preliminary Report Is Offered
For Study; Bakers BaIk
At Furnishing Facts

Possibility that the Washington
bread price investigation will
evolve into a national probe ap-
peared likely today.
Senator William H. King CD
Of Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, indicated this
today, following receipt yesterday
Of the report of the preliminary
investigation of the local bread
price situation submitted to him
by Robert w. Lynch, assistant
corporation counsel.
Will Study Report
The Senator said he has made
only a cursory review of the re-
port to date, and believes that,
from what he has seen, it is likely
the matter should be investigated
more thoroughly. Until he has
an opportunity to study Lynch's
report in detail, it will not be
made public, he said.
The District chairman an
nounced that, meanwhile, he will
call a conference next week of
Lynch and representatives of the
departments of Justice and Agri-
culture, the National Recovery Ad-
ministration and the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration. At
this meeting, Senator King said,
Mr.. Lynch's report will be real
and discussed, and the others pres
ent will give whatever information
their agencies may have on the
subject of bread prices in various
cities Of the country.
Will Offer Resolution
If the information brought out
at this meeting shows that the in
vestigation should be made ma
tional in scope, resolution for
that purpose will be offered when
the Senate .convenes, Chairman
King explained.
Senator King asserted that
Gynch'S report is composed of
number of charts showing cost
and profit figures from some of
the bakeries, but added that the
complete local bread price picture
cannot be obtained from the re-
port because some of the bakeries
refuse to furnish figures Lynch
cost and profit.
