WOOL MARKET

Boston, Dec 15-(UP)-Better interest was shown today by buyers who were taking small lots of fina wool in the Boston market at firm to higher prices. Volume, however, was not sufficient to create an active market.
 Revival of buying on a more sub stantial scale was predicted by ob- servers, who said that mills, manu- lecturers and top makers would seek to protect themselves against what now seems to be inevitably higher prices in the near future.
 Small sales were made today in the following price ranges.
 Ohio Dclaine and 1-2 blood at 35 to 36 cents, grease; 3-S blood, 42- 43; and 1-4 blood, 41-42. Territory graded strictly staple fine combings at 85 to 86 cents. clean; 1-2 blood. 82-S4; 3-S, 81-S3; and 1-4 blood, 72-74.
 The U. s. agriculture department report said: Buyers are inquiring for wool and arg making some pur- chases. The improvement in the actual movement of wool, however, is very moderate and scattered. Most of the sales are on the finer grades of territory wools. Recent transa ctions have included 58s, eos. 1-2 blood, territory wools at S1-83 cents, secured basil for strictly combing staple and at 79-S1 cents for French combing. Average French combing GAS and finer ter- ritory wools sell in original bags at 81-82 cents, secured basis, while good French combing and average strictly combing staple in original bags brings S3-84 cents, secured basis"

LINDBERGHS ON
 NEAR HOMELAND
Landed at SantO Domingo TO-day-Only 835 Miles
 to Miami

Sah 'edro de Macoris, Santo Do. mingo, Dec 15-(UP)-Col and Mrs Charles A. Lindbergh arrived today at 10:40 a. ni., EST. enroute home for the holidays, after flight of 210 miles from San Juan, Puerto Rico. From this point, the noted American flyers were within striking distance of continental United States. The air distance to Miami is only S35 miles, well within the cruising range of their big ship. Following the customary course of the Pan-American Airways, how ever. the Lindberghs would fly to Haiti, thence to Havana, and so across the narrow gulf to Florida.
 Colonel Lindbergh was known to have papers not only for Santo Do- mingo but for Miami, and it was regarded as probablS that he would eliminate the Havana leg of the flight, thus saving at least one day of the return trip. The Lindberghs are anxious to return home in time for a holiday celebration with their small son, Jon. When completed, their aerial tour, which carried them to ports in three continents. will have taken them more than 25,00O miles. It began July 9, when they left New York on the first leg of their semi-circular swing around northern attitudes.

DEATH ON THE GALLONS
 BY ONE MINUTE

Vienna, Dec 15--UP)-A hang man stood beside Hans Breitweiser, ready to slip the moose over his head. The gallows was crowded with wardens, holding stop watches. Breitweiser had two min utes to live. That was at 2:58 D. m today.
 At 2:59 D. m., there was stir in the group of officials, and one of them came forward, waving a tele- gram. The warden read it and sig nailed to the hangman to stop his preparations. The telegram was a message from President Wilhelm Miklas, committing Breitweiser's sentence to life imprisonment.
 Breitweiser's case had attracted attention because it was the first judged by the new death penalty court" esta blished under the recent martial law act. The court has only two verdicts at it's discretion acquittal or conviction with auto- matic death penalty. The sentence must be carried out within three hours of reaching a verdict.
 The court determined Breitweis- CTS guilt at noon. He was to have been hanged prompetly at 3 D. m. His offense was t.-e killing of the family of l. servant girl, to prevent his fiancee learning of his love af- fair with the young woman.
 Miklas forbade the execution on the grounds that 1t was contrary to the Christmas spirit"

Boston, Dec 15-CUP)-Irvin (Ace) Bailey was holding his own at non to-day, more than 17 hours after delicate brain operation performed as a last resort to have his life.
 The Toronto hockey star, whG suffered skull fracture and cere- bral hemorrhagc when crashed to the ice by Eddie Shore of the Bos- ton Bruins in Tuesdays game, was given liquid nourishment late in the forenoon. 1t was hoped this would help sustain him through the crisis which surgeons said would ocur within 36 hours of the operation.
 Dr Donald Munro, who per- formed the tedious two and a half hour operation, today spoke of Bailey's chances in semi-optimis- tic tone.
 "He's getting along as well as could be expected,' the surgeon said. "So far as I can determine at the present there doesn't appear to be cause for another operation. However. I am still unable to make q definite statement as to the ulti- iiiltS OutSOllS DelOIG lIOIiI St tO oV hours.
 He is taking fluid nourishment at frequent intervals in the form of orange juice and milk. He was asleep when Mrs Bailey arrived today and therefore she could not talk with him. He was conscious for a short period since the oper- ation, however, but did not say anything.
 His constitution and condition are an important element. Athletes are usually in much better con- dition to stand the shock Bailey was still unconscious after the operation and was under opi- ates. A nurse at Boston City hospital described him as restless, but nothing was said to indicate that the players chances of pull ing through, given by surgeons as 50-50, had lessened.

HUNTERS WERE DROWNED WHEN
 BOAT SWAMPED
Left Bridgeport for Duck Hunting-One of Three
 Was Rescued

Bridgeport. Conn. Dec 1J-(U. P.)-Two hunters were drowned to-day when heavy sea from Long Island Sound swamped their boat in the Housatonic river. A third hunter, Minot l.. Barter, clung to the upturned boat until rescued by police. Those drowned were Dr John J. Myersick, 31, an interne at Bridgeport hospital, and Joseph A. Sabo, 30, who worked for Barter. All made their home in Danbury, Barter told police.
 Barter. taken from the boat, was covered with ice and suffer- ing from exposure. He was taken to Bridgeport hospital where his condition was reported favorable. He told he and his two friends started duck hunting this morning. They were in the marshes near the outlet of the river into the sound, he said, when a sudden swell from the sound caused their boat to cap size.
 "We all came up after the plunge into the water" the doctors quoted Barter as saying, and l manage dto grab the upturned boat. Myersick and Sabo were nearby, and they, to tried to hang onto the boat. We were all afloat for a while. but they weakened. tried to hold them up, but finally had to let go."
 Barter was lying half across the drifting boat when the tide car ried it up the river so that it was noticed from the shore. Police quickly got him ashore and to a search fo rthe bodies of Sabo and pr Myersick. The latter. it was un- derstood, recently married a nurse in the hospital here.
