New YOr,,, Stocks

NEW YORK, Feb. 3. (UP)-A SELL
ing rush in Chrysler Corporation un-
settled the stock market in the last
few minutes Of trading today after
the list had made an irregular ad-
vance into new high ground since
931.
The Chrysler break came without
warning. The stock had reached 95A
up Ia points and a new high since
1929. In the last quarter hour It
dropped precipitately toward the 81
level. Word went around that direc-
tors would hold their meeting to
morrow and traders revised their
previous rosy estimates of the diVi-
dend action due then.
Steel shares slipped back and u. S.
Steel was down more than point
from its early high which was new
top for more than year. Farm I'M
plements declined after making new
tops and mail order shares joined
the decline.
Rails joined the decline. For a
time they had been in demand at
gains of fractions to more than
Volume increased on the decline
and selling spread throughout the
market.
Before the late selling, new highs
had been made by dozens of the best
issues, including American Tele-
phone at 166 up rs; Deere 7OA up
Ia; Western Union 80 up 81 and
points. Several special issues were
bid up at various times.
There was nothing in the immed-
late news to cause the decline. How
ever, traders had been growing more
and more cautious since the list had
been steadily rising and it was be-
lived it was entitled to a corrective
reaction. Then, too, the market lost
part Of it's initiation incentive today
when the dollar recovered on the
Presidents announcement of elimi-
nation of a billion dollars available
TO lending agencies of the govern
ment.
Throughout the day, intermittent
ofit-tawing indicated the cautious
attitude of the trading element.
Hence when Chrysler turned down
there was general selling. Toward
the close the market was steadier
and in few instances, leaders came
back slightly from the lows.

The trip nearly ended at Bangkok.
Nv, plane, headed toward Penang,
had only been fyling 20 minutes when
one Of the engines failed. We limped
back to the airport on three engines
rather than risk flight Of 500 miles
over the open sea. Mechanics re-
paired the trouble after an hour, only
to have the other engines stall when
We tried to take off. Eventually. after
a delay of two hours, the plane, il
which I was the only passenger. was
over the Gulf Of Siam and headed
toward Penang.
Six hours later I was in Penang
and 20 minutes after landing We were
on our way again. 1t is the rainy
season here and all day long condi-
tions were bad for flying, with huge
cotton-ball clouds at height Of TO-
900 feet and towering up another
10000. But our pilot, John H. Lock,
steered around or through them.

there limp. Then I looked up and
there was the good old chute rip

II could see the plane anywhere. I
can't describe the strange feeling I
had when I saw thousands of small
pieces. none Of them over 2 or feet
in diameter, hurtling down through
the air."
Eyre said he then looked for his
passenger and saw him about 1000
feet above, safely riding his para
chute down. Eyre himself cleared the
plane at 5000 feet and his parachute
opened at about 5000 feet.
Il felt better then and relaxed .
little" he continued. Then another
thought flashed through my mind, and
fairly froze. Where was I going to
land? Was I going to come down in
the water? had just been flying
over the James River q few minutes
before. The thought made a cold
chill run through me. finally man.

see good dry ground below me-"
Trouble With Parachute.
After some trouble with his para
chute, Eyre looked down again.
II was about . thousand feet high
now. and I could see I was falling
pretty fast" he said. Il looked down
to see where I was going to land. I
was headed straight for the middle of
a heavy patch of timber. I couldn't
tell which way was drifting, so I
pulled down on one side of the chute
to try to guide it over toward the edge
of the timber. I was down to three
or four hundred feet now. and my
efforts at guiding the chute hadn't
helped at all. SO let 60 Of it.
"As looked down those treetops
looked like big needles sticking up.
I wondered which one I was going to
hit. They we're so thick I didn't think
1t possible for the chute to 20 down
through them. But luck was with me
and I came sailing down through an
opening not much bigger than the
chute. I was trying to look out for
tree limbs, but they flashed by so fast
l couldn't see Osm. Then with .
bang I hit the ground and fell over
in a heap on a carpet of pine needles"
Except for very sore leg muscles
and q battered nose and cuts and
bruises received before he got out of
the plane, Eyre was uninjured. Pvt.

in which he expressed surprise at

John H. Coblentz, "a, Of Middletown,

this afternoon after . coroner's Jury
inspected the defective windshield of
the automobile he drove through q
street car safety" zone at Wisconsin
avenue and Woodley road last Fri

Mrs. Holsonbake, 33-year-old H. o.

broken back and other injuries. Her
son by q previous marriage, Donald
Hardee, 8, received broken leg. and
the maid. Celeste Grayson, "a, Of
Alexandria, va, cuts and bruises.
The jury inspected the windshield
of the car after hearing testimony
from Detective Sergt. william ]. Liver
man of the homicide squad that 1t was
"in q very bad condition" and the
wiper was out Of order.
Zone Held Unprotected. =
Liverman said 1t was against the law
to drive with . defective windshield
in Washington. Defense Attorney
Harold F. Hawken brought out that
the safety zone was not protected by
the usual turtle e-back" buttons, but
was marked OF by q painted line.
The accident occurred in q heavy
rain while the three persons were
waiting for q street car. The pro-
tecting buttons were removed when the
street was repaved and had not been
replaced. Coblentz told police he was
going only rs or 18 miles an hour" {"
and this was corroborated by taxi
driver.
A Public Utility Commission ruling
specifies that the Wisconsin avenue
safety zones be marked with paint and
and protected at either end by buttons.
designed to give a heavy jolt to any
automobile which might strike them.
Saw Some Zones.
Liverman said Coblentz told him he
saw some zones protected by buttons
on Wisconsin avenue, but failed to see
the loading area at Woodley road, or
the group standing in 1t, until his car
was almost upon them.
Trafiic Director William A. Van
Duzer expressed the opinion this
morning that the buttons had no more
safety value than the paint. At the
Public Utilities Commission, 1t was
said lack Of funds prevented replace
ment of all the buttons taken up dur
ing the repaving. The Street and
Highway Department said the De-
partment of Vehicles and Trafic was
charged with this duty.
