Strange Premonition Ex- pressed by Disarma-
 ment Champion EXPECTS TO BE. SLAIN BY ENEMIES IN JAPAN
Utterances Made in U. s. and London Have
 Aroused Feeling

LONDON, Jan. 14.-YukiO Ozaki, veteran pan e S e political leader and disarma- ment champion, left recently for his home in Japan and the London Herald today says he believes certain death awaits him at the hands of aSsasSins.
 The formeii Constitutional Party leader and Mayor of Toyko, before the World War, now 73 yearss old, knows his death warra1 t" is signed, the Herald says, because his utterances in the Uni t e d States and London have been construed as unpatriotic by certain fellow countrymen.
 The Herald claims Ozaki has written to his son in Tokyo that for public man, the best form Of death is to fall by the cold hand of an assassin" and he has dedicated a poem to his anticipat- ed murder.
 Ozaki said before he left here that he did not dread death and would not like to die on sickbed. T like a death which may prove a lesson to prosterity. If anybody feels the necessity of assassinating me hope he will do so when I am making vigorous speech on the national policy on the plat form of the Diet"

CURB LIST FIRM
IN SPITE Of
PROF|T|NG
BY THEODORE KosLow

NEW YRK, Jan. 5 U.N.S0
The Curb Market encountered in
creased resistance today in efforts
to extend yesterdays broad ad-
vance, but the undertone ruled
firm, with outside buying readily
absorbing the pressure of profit
taking sales.
Traders Skeptical
Traders were somewhat skepti-
cal of the ability of stocks to
stake any further worthwhile ad-
vance from these levels, and
therefore those fortunate enough
to have been long of stocks
around the recent lows were not
hesitant about cashing in on their
profits.
The majority of active utilities
ruled higher most of the time,
although Electric Bond and
Share and American Gas and
Electric fell fractionally below
previous closingS.
Columbia Gas and Electric pre-
ferred advanced points to SO,
and Eectric Bond and Share 6
per cent preferred gained IA
points to 43.
New highs on the move were
reached by the Cities Service
group, the common reaching 3
for a gain of 1s and the per
cent debetures moving up "
point at 36.
Oils Do Better
Oils did better, with Gulf up
y at 2812, Humble up p at As,
Standard of Indiana up "a at
22b, and Standard of Kentucky
up "a at 11A.
Selected specialties were strong,
with Aluminium showing a gain
of 2 points at it's early top of So.
A. o. Smith was up almost a
point at 2024, and Deere rose as
to 97s.
Curb bonds were generally i'm.
proved.
