 Dunn ruled that Gomez clipped Vic Montgomery, T. C. U halfback, on the 15-yard line. In other words, Gomez was supposed to have draped himself about the calves of Montgomery, who at the time was pursuing Seramin.

TURNS OUT AS EXPECTED

A substitute proposal was drawn up under which each nation would decide, when the time came, just how neutral it would be.
 Tn order to give all the American republics a chance to talk over threat of war within the Americas or war outside, a permanent" consultative pact was proposed.
 Saavedra -LamaS Wrinkled his nose at permanent and that word went out also, leaving the confer ence to consider merely the pro- posal for consultation in time of trouble here or abroad, together with recommendations that all the republics ratify the several already existing non-aggression and media tion pacts.
 And that was almost exactly the , progress Latin American experts in Washington predicted would be made. Just how important such progress is considered here may be told another time.

Recopery m Industry
 Boosts Metal Prices
Copper Trade Cautious

Copper was boosted cautiously by domestic producers, who permitted quotations abroad to soar far above prices here before making an up- ward adjustment.
 Trade sources advanced two po- tent reasons for this move: it per- mitted some testing of demand at the higher level so that no mark down would be necessary; and pro ducers shicd from higher prices, being somewhat fearful that they would cut into sales and stimulate competition from other metals. Early in the year tin suffered twin ills--slower demand from can manufacturers, the principal users, and rumored disagreement among leading world producers, principally Siam, over allotments.
 With the trouble ironed out by midsummer, however, tin snapped ahead for @ 30 percent gain in the last six months.
 Lead forged ahead steadily throughout the year, demand ex- banding apace with industrial ac- tiyity. Zinc nudged forward mod erately.

 NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Fodder for the hungry nav of fast-stepping industry, non-ferrous metals climb ed sharply in price as the best in- dutstrial year since 1929 came to a close.
 Copper, late in the year, touched i2 cents a pound, a rise of 20 per cent from the years opening quo tation at 925 cents. Lead had an Is percent gain. Tin and antimony followed with an 8 and 9 percent gains respectively Zinc was 4 pel cent ahead.
 Heavy demand from corporations hard pressed to fill the biggest backlog of orders since recovery got under way was the key factor to this upturn

 The fact that most of these met. als other than iron and steel wer' mined under agreement, tacit ol written, among the key producers abroad to keep output down wa a contributing factor
 The spurt in heavy industry electrical equipment manufactur- ing, building, automobiles and part also gave quotations an upwarC shove.

Principal agent to romual the United States to back out was Carlos Saavedra-Lamas, Argentine Foreign Minister, Presi- dent of the League of Nations As seinbir and Nobel peace prize win ; her.
 The meat of the United States neutrality proposal was contained in a 75-word article providing that : in event American nations tucked old mediation proposals and insist ed on war with each other, other American nations sh ould bolster their neutrality by refusing to sup ply the fighters with arms. am munition or implements of war"
 To allay fears the proposal was supplanting the League of Nations, to which Argentina and several other Latin American nations be- . long, Secretary of State Hull em- phasized it applied only to the {. Americas.
 The United States proposed that arms shall not be shipped to either side, regardless Of which was ad- judged the aggressor. That was too big a step for the Latin Am ( erican republics, for their interests are harmonious. Besides, such inn partiality would outlay sanctions and be contrary to league func- | tioning.
