 A dynamite bomb ripped off the south side of the Ott bungalow at 3 a. m., throwing the mayor and his wife out of their beds and breaking windows all over the little village.
 Citizens were worried to remain indoors. The mob seemed to be in control of the town. There were reports of other violence in the onion fields.
 The mob tactics apparently came as a result of the decision of townspeople to take the onion strike situation into their own hands after three months of riot ing, bombings, stone throwing and fights between strikers and deput- ies.
 Bombing of Mayor Ott's house was charged against the strikers Townspeople. angered by the at tack on their mayor, began to gather in the streets shortly before dawn. They obviously were in an ugly mood when deputy sheriffs arrested O'Dell and took him to the sheriff's barracks for question ing.

 O'Dell was severely beaten before he was loaded on q truck and talk en to the county line. Blood flowed freely from dozen wounds on his head and body.
 The battling strike leader how ever, refused to heed teh warning to stay out of the onion fields, and managed to slip back to a shack at the edge of the village.
 Groups of angry citizens, mean while. patrolled the town. One newspaper correspondent was lock. cd up in a house and sternly warn- ed against sending a report of the violence to the outside world.

 New York;, Aug. 25.-(UP). = Stocks improved this week after a series of fluctuations with volume picking up moderately after 27O.- 000-share day on Monday, the smallest full session in II years.
 Paralleling the rise in N stocks, and more spectieular to the on- lockers, was series of wild gyra- tions in foreign exchanges. The dollar broke to a level where gold shipments are profitable and ar rangement was promptly made for export of more than $6.000.000 of the metal by New York bankers. The pound broke to a record low in terms of French francs.
 Late in the week, Secretary Morgenthau announced the treas ury had no new dollar plans, and thereby spiked some of the rumors that had got into circulation follow ing the dollar and pound breaks. However, there was not the snap back in the dollar that followed shipment of mere $l,OO0,OOO Tn gold a few weeks ago.
 United States government bonds rallied from their lows after a sharp break. Other bonds Of the domestic section were strong ex- cept first rails. In the foreign list Germans sold off late in the week on reports of further adverse news on the debt situation.
 Some stock market purchases were made on the belief some new infiationary development would oc- cur shortly. Other factors included anticipation of further government efforts 10 stimulate trade before election: aid for the railroads; some favorable earnings reports.
 There may or may not have been any connection but the advance got under way when pamphlet by a London stock broker on the coming American boom" was giv' en circulation in the United States. Wall street traders said the book let resembled an apology for the New Deal. In addition 1t carried rather specific recommendations or the kind of stocks to purchase and an attempt to show when pur- chases should be made.
 Business indicators were of no help marketwise. Steel operations fell to a new low for the year and there was little in the autumn out look for the industry. Automobile production declined. Car loadings dropped contraseasonally. On the other hand. cigarette output was sharply higher; retail trade held well; electricity output gained slightly although it made poorer showing as compared with l933. and failures made a new 14-year lo1.
 Railroad shares made the best showing of any group on the stock board. Their gains for the week ranged to above points. Union Pacific, Atchison. New York Gen. tral and Southern Pacific were the best performers. An article in the magazine today by Raymond Moley, former No. brain-truster ard still close to the administra- ton, was seen as indication of real government aid for the carriers. However, there was no definite an- nouncement on the subject.
 Railroad earnings are dropping sharply because of higher costs. Nx operating income of the first Is roads to report for July was down 42.3 per cent from the cor responding week of 1933.
 Despite the drop in steel opera tions steel shares firmed for the

LEADER OF ONION
 STRIKE STOLEN

McGuffey, Ohio, Aug. 5-(UP) -Okey Odell, leader of the strike of 750 onion weeders in the Scioto marshlands, was reported abduct- ed, and possibly slain. today by 2 mob of 2NO men who raided a house in which he was being guarded by officers.
 The last seen of Odell, accord ing to reports reaching the Sheriff's office. was when he was being carried away in truck. his head bloody, apparently unconscious Other telephone reports said an- other man had been killed.
 The violence followed by only a few hours the bombing of the home of Godfrey Ott, mayor of McGuffey. who had been vigorous in attempts to "break the back" of the strike of barefoot, illiterate onion workers.

 New York, Aug 25.-UP)- Stocks were firm in to-day's short session with the exception of a few sugar issues which broke sharply. Trading was light although ahead of last Saturday, which set an l1-year low.
 Tobacco issues featured on the upside with Liggett & Myers issues at new 1894 highs. American To- bacco issues made good gains and R. J. Reynolds "B" firmed frac- tionally. Reason for this upturn was the Cuba reciprocal treaty which lowers the duty on cigar cites so that a package of Ameri- can cigaretets can sell at 25 cents in Cuba, against 75 cents before the treaty.
 The sugar community was disap- pointed in the duty set on sugar. The Coffee & Sugar Exchange was closed to t. There was no reaction noted in sugar futures. Some Of the sugar stocks, however, were heavily sold. notably Great Vest arn which was driven down 3 points to 30A and South Porto Rico which was off "A at 33% American Sugar and Cuban Ameri- can issues made small gains.
 Some rev demand came into sil- yer group where gains ranged to nearly 2 points.
 The dollar today held around the level at which gold shipments can be made. There were no additional ones announced, but the street ex- poets a sizeable amount will leave the country on this move. The pound sterling was steadier in terms of the franc, indicating heavire operations of the British equalization fund. Some traders anticipate the fund will be thrown into the market in larger amounts to force shorts in the pound to cov- CT.

 MIRA Here to Stay
 Washington, Aug 25-(UP)- Gen Hugh $. Johnson and the MIRA will continue at the present stand for some time to come. President Roosevelt made clear today.
 Decision on the vital questions of the transition of the NRA into a permanent organization and the continuance of Johnson as its su- preme commander has been pushed into the future.
 However, developments made clear that the decisions ultimately must be faced.
 MIRA reorganization between, Johnson, Donald +. Richberg, and Labor Secretary Frances Perkins met vigorous denials from Johnson and Richberg. They said there were no "fundamental" differences A test of this concord remained to be met.
 Transfer and regrouping of the 700 MIRA codes to obtain efficient administration was admitted by MIRA officials as under way. pre- liminary. to q new administrative set-up. which may be announced September 10.

Still it was not generally believed that he was entirely hap py over the prospect of his two weeks rest on the Delaware sea. shore with the temporary status Oi his blue eagle agency still uncer- tain.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The break
ing of trend lines either in a rising
or falling market is of real impor-
lance. Chart No. 2 shows two in
stances where the lower base line Of
a triangle was violated and how the
market dropped to lower level
The chart also demonstrates the
breaking of a minor trend line and
the weakness sof the market in con-
sequence. The actions depicted in
Chart No. 2 involve all minor trends.
Chart No. / shows the market
breaking through a major or bear
market line, the first time since 1929.
The breaking of a major trend is OF
utmost Importance, as 1t always IN
dicates a change of trend.
Volume of sales always picks up
on the breaking of major trend
line. This was plainly indicated in
August. 1892, with a volume of over
100000 shares.
The trader. in order to analyze
market action, should draw trend
lines wherever possible. at the hold
ing or breaking of such lines. The
following are more formations in
market action:
Double Bottom appears at the
