Washington, Feb 16-(UP)---- The government to-day considered legislative action that would reopen the country's investment marker and permit billions of dollars of investment funds. to find their way into business and promote recov- cry. Studies of means or dIivins in- vestment capital into factories railroads and mills were pushed py tho federal reserve board tnt NRA. the Roconstruction Finance corporation. and the treasury.

BOY IS BLEEDING
 SLOWLY TODEATH
Strange Case of Ninet Year-Old Lad--DOctOrs
 See No Hope

North Adams, Mass, Feb. It, (UP).--A successful blood trans- fusion operation was performed al noon today by doctors fighting to save the life of nine-year-old Vermont schoolboy who has been bleeding from the nose almost con tinuously for three weeks.
 Though the transfusion was suc- cessfully completed. physicians held little hope that their patient could recover.
 The victim, Chester Luczynski, son of MT and Mrs Anthony Luczynski, began to bleed late last month, and 10 days ago he was brought to North Adams hospital from his isolated home at Stam- ford, just over the Vermont State line eight miles north of here.
 At the hospital his ailment was diagnosed as purpura hemorrhag-- icia--a disease rare to adults ana almost never found in children. It is attributed to deficiency in the internal secretions of the body. Or dinarily it Is characterized by pur- pie spots on the skin.
 Dangerously weak from loss of blood, the boys condition today be- came so grave that the physician in charge, Dr William l.. Curran, eye, ear and nose specialist, appeal ed to the fire department for vol unteers for transfusiOn opera tion.
 Fire Chief John E.. Saulnier and four of his firemen were soon at the hospital as prospective donors. Blood tests showed Fireman An drew Grant to be the best subject. and he submitted to the transfu- sion. giving q pint of blood.
 Chester's parents have been at the hospital much of the time since he became a patient there and were at the bedside today.
 "The boys condition is very seri- ous," Dr Curran told the United Press. we are of course doing everything possible but there seems to be little chance for his recov- erv."
 Whether the doctors contemplat- cd additional transfusions could not be learned.
