(Untte0 Press St0H COrreSpOuOenC) London, Oct 2S--(U.P.) - Brit. ish- German relations already strained on the disarmament ques- ton, were made worse to-day by the prospect of a British reporter being tried by the Maxi govern ment on an espionage charge for which the penalty may be death.
 Noel D. Planter, Munich corre- spondent of the London Daily Tele- graph, was arrested after he re- ported a storm trooper parade at Kelheim, Germany as of q military nature.
 Sir Eric Phipps, British ambas- sador to Germany, protested strongly to the German foreign off, flee and demanded an explanation.
 Sir John simon, British foreign minister, called Dr Leopold Won Hoesch, German ambassador. to the foreign office and protested angrily against the arrest.
 It was reported that he cpoke bluntly, and told Hoesch that Great Britain would not tolerate Q trial simon was said to have demanded conclusive proof that suspicious against Planter and the subsequent accusation were justified, and ir addition said that Planter must have full legal protection. Hoesch was obviously worried when he left the foreign office and hurried to the embassy.

Gold Price Raising Is Hopeful For Business
Administration Leaders Believe That It Will Stimulate
 Very Much Activity Among All the Industries

commodity price structure and in turn promote increased business activity. It was felt that another rise in commodities would cause increased buying in anticipation of still higher levels and result in higher industrial activity.
 The American Iron and steel in- stitute estimated that steel ingot output in the country this week fell to 31.6 per cent from 40 per cent last week because of a let down in automobile production. Electric power output last week made its poorest showing since spring, increasing only 5.9 per cent over a year ago, compared with a gain of "A per cent in the preced- ing week.
 Automobile output last week continued its seasonable decline. It dropped to 25,004 units from S6,- 753 in the previous week and Ill., 165 a year ago. Bituminous coal output of 7,030,000 tons last week increased over the 6,710,000 output or the previous week with colder weather, but was below the 7,S50,- f0OO-ton output of last year.
 Lumber output fell to 152,207,000 board feet from 159,239,000 in the previous week despite federal re- serve reports that construction con- tract awards were above 8 year ago.
 Employment continued it's in- crease. The American Federation of Labor estimated that 3,600,000 persons have found work since the March let down and President Roosevelt estimated slightly larg- CT number.
 Business men and bankers con- tinued to complain that failure of the administration to make more clear its monetary intentions had restricted activity, but meanwhile new moves were made to free frozen bank deposits. It was in- tended to place some billion dol- lars additional cash in the hands of the public in time for the holi- day buying season.

n
 New York, Oct. 2S-(UP)- Trading slowed down on the Stock Market today and prices eased on fractions to more than point.
 There were long intervals during the two hour session when no quotations came out. What blocks did were small. The one exception was a 25,000 share block Of Radio Corporation, at 0 fractional loss, which was merely a cross sale.
 Fixing of a government gold price 6 cents above Fridays quota- ton and more than a dollar above London's quotation, had little or no effect. Chief worry in Wall street concerned possibility of govern ment regulation of share and con- modity markets. This was added to dissatisfaction on rail co-ordin- ator Eastman's rejection of steel company bids for more than SO0,- 900 tons of steel rails.
 The trading community had loked forward to acceptance of the Steel Company bids as an incentive to bring life into declining steel operations. The bid was $37.75 and Eastman said the government would loan money for rails only al $35 bids plus adjustments to be made later. Steel companies were silent as to future plans.
 With these heavy factors pre-. vailing, the stock market sagged off along with lower wheat prices and slightly lower cotton market Wheat price rose from their lows.

 Panter's arrest was by Bavarian political police. He made refer ence, in his report of the storm troopers parade, to the extraqr- dinary precautions authorities took to prevent publication of news or photographs of the militnristic side of the demonstration.
 The Daily Telegraph said to-day that charges against Planter were the result of an affidavit made by Josef Ackermann, well known Ger. man journalist who was arrested soon after Planter was detained.
 Details of tho affidavit. the Tele- graph said, were not known.

First National Bank of Boston in Weekly New England
 Letter Claims All Countries on Upward Trend

Boston. Oct 2S-sThere are un- mista1xabIe signs that worldwide business recovery has been under way since last fall," says the First National Bank of Boston in its New England letter issued today. "Thss, despite high tariff walls and other trade restrictions, huge surpluses of some groups of commodities, in- stability of currencies and war scares, Aside from temporary set backs, which always cheracterize the recovery period from 8 pro- longed depression, there is basis for hope that improvement will continue provided, of course, that too many artificial obstacles do not Interfere with the natural forces ct work.
 U. S. Rise Spectacular
 eUnited States and Great Britain, France and Germany account for approximately 65% of the aggre- gate Industrial production of the world. It Is interesting to note that the peak of prosperity in ls2s ana the low point of the depression period were reached about the same time in the United States and in Europe. The latest available tn- dex of factory production in both Europe and. this country is about the same distance below the, 1928 average although, of course, the limited states has advanced from a much lower level. The improve ment in the United States has been more spectacular and cratic than that of the three European coun- tries.
 .'Practically all countries have shared in the upturn, even those sections primarily engaged in agri- culture, such as South America and Australia. Canada has shown consistent gains in both manufac- turing and mining operations since the first of the year, although re- gently there has been slight slackening due to adverse crop re- ports. Conditions generally in that country are on a much better basis than a year ago. In Holland there has been substantial decline in unemployment, the principal in- dustries are more active, and even shipbuilding has shown improve ment. A steady improvement in business in France has been in evil dence since the summer of 1892, although recently there has been a decline in export trade and a slackening in some of the principal industries.
 France Most Remarkable
 The showing made by France Is all the more remarkable since by remaining on the gold standard she has felt the full force of competi- tiop from countries on depre- cialed currency basis not only. irl her export trade but also in her tourist business, which has suf- fered Q serious decline. During the twelve months ending July 1883. Germany showed an increase in tn- dustrial activity of more than 20 per cent, while unemployment dur ina this period showed Q decline of 20 per cent. Germany has had a favorable trade balance since 1929 and has been able to improve sub- stantially her balance of interna- tional payments. A steady gain in manufacturing activity accompan-

sign, imposes three main obliga- tions:
 i. Maximum hour and minimum wage schedules.
 2. To submit operations reports to the National Automobile Cham Der of Commerce on employment and payrolls.
 8. To permit his employees to or ganize and bargain collectively
 Ford Did Much Better
 Ford claims to go the code one better, as far as hours and wages are concerned, and MIRA has nc evidence to the contrary. Dearborn, Michigan, dispatches indicated the Ford Company would submit operation reports when they were requested formally.
 Declaration by Johnson yester. day that he would institute pro. ceedings if the reports were no' filed that brought a sharp reply from Ford headquarters that John son 'has assumed to talk like ] dictator and the supreme cour' combined
 The collective bargaining issue was much more complicated. But it appeared likely to bring the real show down in the Ford dispute.
 Quotes Edsel Ford
 Johnson laid stress on a state ment that Edsel Ford told rnt they never would consent to any collective bargaining"
 The situation as developed so fai in the strike of Ford employees at Edgewater, N. J., and Chester, Pa, was:
 Several hundred workers struck, charging their wages had been re- duced. As the strike dragged on. the National Labor Board sought to intervene. Plant officials at Edgewater finally met Q commit- tee of strikers, but the labor boards representatives had to re- main outside. The Ford Company said 1t would have no dealings with the board. It asserted at the same time that it never had declined to deal with it's employees.
 While the Ford officials have re- ceived delegation of the strikers there has been no indication as to whether Ford, long a foe of union- ism, will permit his workers to bar gain through their union leaders.
 Sufficient to Bar Him
 Johnson held that Ford's failure to sign the code and display the Blue Eagle, coupled with Edsel Ford's statement regarding collec- tive bargaining, was sufficient to bar Ford from all government con- tracts. The White House indicat- ed the President shared this view. The justice department was in- structed to investigate the legal ass poets of the situation.
 The Ford Company pointed out that, neither signature of code nor display of the eagle were re. quired by law. It said rejection q. low bids by Ford dealers on fed- erai contracts would be "favorit. ism" that would add to the burden of the taxpayers.

AVERAGE ATHLETE FOUND
 GOOD IN STUDIES

Milwaukee-(UP)-The average athletic, considered by many pro- fessors to be a "dumbbell," has been exonerated as the result of tests made at the Milwaukee Teachers College.
 Tests show that he Is neither brighter nor duller than the non- athletic type, and that he con- forms to the general run of non- athletic students-that is. there are bright and dull athletes, just as there are bright and dull non- athletes.
 The survey was made from physiological tests given every male in the college last year.
 In the freshman-sophomore grouping, the athletes had q me- dian score of 7S, while the non- athletes scored s2. The athletes were four points under. but their score deviation from the general median was only. 1s.91, while the onn-athletes deviated 20.90. The junior-senior groups showed the same median score of 61 for both groups.

Washington, Oct. 2S - (UP) Senate stock market investigators have obtained evidence of multi million dollar profits to Albert W. Wiggin, one-time head of the Chase National Bank, far beyond the $10,425,675.02 he realized from trading in the shares of the bank itself, it was learned today. The ad- ditional profits were in securities of other corporations. Revelation of Wiggin's profits in bank shares brought an open break between the former Chase head and his successor, Winthrop W. Aldrich. son -in-law of John D. Rockefeller. Ferdinand Pecora, committee counsel. unfolded the story. million by million. Aldrich listened in an- gry surprise. He moved to the committee table and in 200 clipped words denounced Wiggin and his boom time banking methods. AL drich promised Q new deal. So long as he runs Chase there will be no manipulation to establish artificial values for the banks stock, he said.
 Wiggin will return to the witness chair Tuesday when Pecora re- SuIucS AnVCStASatAOh OA AAS PSicVh profits. It was in 1882, that Aldrich, aided by powerful pressure of the Rockefeller stock interest, began to maneuver Wiggin out of the bank. Wiggin is out altogether now, all though he owns much stock. His $100,O00 annual retirement pay was stopped this week when stock holders rose in protest. They had not known of it until the pension was revealed by Pecora. Aldrich was not the only Chase bank off, cial who heard the Wiggin stock profits with amazement. There are 200 officers in the bank. They car- ried stock through the market pam ic-many of them were in tho hearing room to learn for the first time that Wiggin had accumulated great profits.
