New York, Dec. 1S.-(UP)-Ac- tivity and strength in United States Government bonds featured deal- ings on the New York Stock ex- change today. Other bonds were duil and irregular, while stocks moved in a narrow range without feature.
 The only item of interest in the share market was a series of ru- mors on the Silver situation. One report said China is considering devaluation of the Standard Silver dollar. It upset Manchukuan cur rency prices. Similar reports re- gently adversely affected Shang- hai currency and were semi-offic- ia1ly denied.
 Silver stocks, which recently have been strong spots, were sold at declining prices. Although press ure was not great in any particular issue. U. s.

HITLER WAS NOT
 SHOT AS REPORT
 WAS CIRCULATED
Daughter of Man Removed From Office Said to Have
 Wounded Him


 Berlin. Dec 1S.-UP)-Investi- gation of report printed in a Linz, Austria, newspaper, repeating rumors that the daughter of Hell muth Brueckner, former president of Silesia, had recently" shot Reichsfuehrer Adolph Hitler, com- pletely discredited the story to- day.
 The Linzer Volkblatt had de- clarcd that rumors were widespread in Silesia that Fraulein Brueckner, arrested when her father was re- moved from office, shot and wounded the Reichsfuehrer.
 The reports were found to be wholly untrue.
 The Volksblatt, relating that Fraulein Brueckner had not been seen in Breslau since her fathers arrest" told how she wounded Hitler from a hired auto, where upon Hitler's guards returned the fire, killing the girl and her chauf- feur."
 The impossibility of the story was shown by secret police and high Nazi officials, who pointed out that Brueckner's oldest daugh- ter is only five years old.

FRANCE TO PROBE THE MUNITIONS
 MANUFACTURERS
Chamber of Deputies Had First Inkling of That
 Fact To-day

Paris, Dec 18.-(UP)-A cham Der of deputies debate on supple mentary war credits developed to- day into a bitter attack on private manufacture of ornaments. We know positively" said former Air Minister Pierre Cot, that whereas any soldier who had relations with the enemy in war time was shot certain French industrialists throughout the World War main- tained contact with German indus trialists." Ardently insisting that the government open an inquiry into activities of armament manu- lecturers, Cot said:
 ''The Nye investigation in Wash ington produced sensational facts. Doubtless an exposure of French arms makers would be equally sen sational. Private manufacture of arms and munitions cannot be de- fended. either morally or financial Fly. Arms makers must be pre- vented from poisoning the public mind by acquiring newspapers Cots attack came as the British government was preparing an in- vestigation into the British traffic in arms. Debate was on a credit of 800, 100000 francs (s52.800. O00) for arms and munitions. supple menting the credit of 4.547, ,045.05C francs ($31O,104,973) voted by the senate yesterday. Premier Pierre Etienne Flandin, answering Cot agreed readily that suppression oi armsmaking throughout the world
 was desirable. France, he said
 had taken Q position favorable tc suppression at the world disarma. ment conference. "A committee has prepared a re- port on control of arms making | for presentation to the January
