 No Criminal Action
 Hartford, Conn, Dec. 9-UP)- U. s. Attorney Robert P. Butler said today no criminal action against McKesson & Robbins would be taken in Connecticut unless re- quested by the department of jus tice Cor a complaint was filed di- rectly with me-"
 we have no investigation force here" he said, land so far the case has not been drawn to my atten- tion officially"
 He indicated that whatever rec ommendation of prosecution that might be made, would originate at Washington.
 The receivership action instituted here Monday will be terminated as result of proceedings now before the federal court at New York, it was learned.
 Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy, CO., receiver with Attorney Abraham s. Weisman, New Haven, said he would file with U. s. district court an accounting of their activities from the time of their appointment on Monday until the New York re- organization petition was filed Thursday.
 Purpose Accomplished
 The purpose of the receivership here, he said, had been accom- plished. That was, he explained, to prevent the borrowing of $3.O0O, 900 by the few in view of the shortage of $l0,00O, 900 in the crude drug de- partment account as alleged in the receivership petitioned filed here by 8 common stockholder.
 Walfrid G. Lundborg, counsel for the stockholder, Hartford corpora tion Counsel Vincent w. Dennis, said nothing further appears to be necessary" in the courts here iil- asmuch as the company voluntar- fly petitioned for reorganization "and has substantiated the allega- tions" made by Dennis.
 Mayor Spellacy disclosed the se- curities exchange commission had demanded the Connecticut receiv- CTS make an immediate audit of the concerns accounts and the cor poration proposed its own auditing firm of Price & Warehouse, New York. The receivers. he said, re- fused approval of the company's suggestion.

of the two receivers appointed there is the mayor of the city, Thomas J. Spellacy.
 The directors of the company, ad- hitting the $1O,O0O,O00 shortage in assets, filed a petition here yester- day for its reorganization under the revised federal bankruptcy statute which will make the SEC party to the reorganization proceedings.
 The president, CoSter, has made no statement regarding the testi- mony or the court proceedings. Company statements since the case came to light have been issued by the executive vice-president, c. F. Michaels, who yesterday was ap- pointed one of the trustees for re- organization.
 Company Admits It
 Tn the petition filed by the com- pany here yesterday, officials of the concern admitted that upwards of $10 900 900 in assets of the crude drug department could not be ac- counted for. Cummings and Thomp- son said that on the basis of pres- ent information this department may be just hollow balloon. just a shell"
 The company's balance sheet as of October 31 listed assets at $86,- 556, ,269 and liabilities of SIG, ,267, ,967. Cummings asserted that if the crude drug departments, assets should prove entirely worthless, the corporations assets would be cut to some $60 1000 900 wiping out the com- pany's surplus and common stock. The company officials repeatedly asserted that the details they had uncovered were so fantastic" that they were unbelievable and that they were completely bewildered regard ing who was responsible for the dis appearance of the crude drug divi- sion assets and that they themselves had no clear picture of the situa- ton. ! ~ Situation Uncovered The situation was uncovered, they related to the Stock Exchange, when Thompson attempted to extend in- surance of the various divisions of the company to the drug division, the only department not thus cov- cred.
 Thompson decided to investigate, the testimony said, after "Mr. Cos ter got little bit upset" regarding the question of insurance. Further investigations by Thompson led to the disclosure of the fantastic story of a series of shells" previously considered warehouses and big for eign corporations.
 They said that George E. Diet rich, assistant treasurer, and under the immediate supervision of Coster in the crude drugs department "ac- cording to the receivers (appointed in Hartford) shoulders the. entire blame."
 President Is Ignorant
 "Mr. Coster told the receivers" the testimony said, "that he knew nothing about it (the disappear ance of the assets), that 1t was the greatest surprise to him. MT. Diet rich, who was $l0,OOO employe in charge of this department, accord ing to the receivers, shoulders the entire blame. If MT. Coster persists in his position that he knows nothing about it and can't help in unravel- ling it, it may take 6 long time to get to the bottom of it,

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 d.N.S3.
After a brief period OF strength,
the stock market turned 1rregu-
larly lower today in response to
the intensified RuSSoJapaneSe

Stocks opened higher and then
moved up in a continuation OF
yesterdays recovery, but soon ran
into selling. Most Of the gains
were wiped out and a number ot
leaders showed losses on the day:
Steels were prominent in the
early rise, gains running to a
point in Bethlehem. These gains
were lost later while Crucible
showed a small loss.
A similar pattern was displayed
by the motors, where losses re-
placed gains running to over a
point in ChrySler. American
Smelling was strong in the cop
pers, but others In the group eased
after q rise at the start.
In the blue chips, Philip Morris

Ranger, sailed brilliantly by VAN

not only won fame by defeating T.

straight faces, but ran up string
of 10 straight triumphs in prelim-
inaries.
The defender set numerous rec
ords in the series of races off New
port, r. I. Ranger won the open
ing race by 17:05 = the biggest
margin of elapsed time iii so years
of racing for the cup. She did even
better in the second race, winning
by 1882 in time and almost three
miles in distance.
The third race produced another
record. Winning by nearly mile
