Los chimpances y los ban

He estado leyendo un infor
me de los laboratories de bio

niversidad de Yale, acerca de
una serie de experiments que
sirven para indicar 81 los chin

de que haya chimpances tan
inteligentes y capaces como
muchas personals que ahora es
tan dedicadas a los negocios
O a la banca, pero por tempe
ramento ell chimpance proba-
blemente esta mejor equipado

ce que los simios son demasia-
do fil6sofos para hacer los sa-
crificios personales necesarios

ahora veremos.
Seis chimpanees fueron usa-

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-While real
selling pressure was absent in to-
days stock market leading issues
added fractions to a point or so to
their decline of the previous ses-
sion.
Dealings picked up a trifie on
the downside after slow early rail-
lying efforts failed to get any
where. Offerings dried up near the
fourth hour, and scattered recover
les appeared.
Wall Street had plenty of sus-
tanning domestic business news, but
the thought of a possible "correc.
tive" letdown in the upward indus
trial swing during the next few
months would not down. Traders,
consequently, kept commitments
either way at a minimum, with the
inclination to tighten up predom-
mating.
United States Steel and Bethlehem
made a rising gesture at the OPEN
ing, but soon gave ground. Back
ward also were Chrysler, General
Motors, Douglas Aircraft, Western
Union, Anaconda, Westinghouse, Du
Pont. New York Central, Montgom-
cry Ward and Goodyear. A. M.
Byers was an isolated gamer, moving
into new high territory for the year.
In arrears in the curb were
Lockheed, Root Petroleum, Ameri-
can Cynamid "B" and Gulf Oil.

U. S. PRESIDENT MAY GET CHANCE TO SETTLE STRIFE
 BETWEEN JAPAN AND CHINA
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Nov. l. = Right now prospects for peace seem only moderate. Yet some persons see a possibility that President Roosevelt, by good diplomatic headwork, could score a grand slam by bringing peace not only to Europe but also to Asia
 Washington did not respond i'm mediately to Berlin's unofficial suggestion that the U. s. mediate. But that opportunity promises to remain open. It is a developing situation.
 Wholly overshadowed by the Euro pean war, is the dawdling conflict in the Orient. Persons here with wide diplomatic contacts, especially with far eastern figures, say the time already has arrived when the U. s. could put an end to the Jap- anese-C Chinese affair with one warm gesture.
 The hitch lies in the fact that the warm gesture would have to be made toward Japan. That would take con- siderable public preparation Am orleans lately have become soured on the Japanese. Americans are dis posed to call for hard treatment not for warm gestures.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1. De- mands that the United States recall it's Ambassador to Russia because of Premier Molotoff's criticism of President Roosevelt was injected into the House neutrality debate by Rep resentative Mccormack of Massa- chusetts.
 Representative Mccormack said he had read accounts of Molotoff's address to the Supreme Soviet Council in which Roosevelt was criticized as intervening" in Rus sia's negotiations with Finland.
 For that statement made by an official representative of Soviet Rus sia," Mccormack said, "the United States ought to recall its Ambas- sador That should be the answer of the United States to this attempt to influence American public opin- ion. This is a grave breach of inter national law"
 Molotoff yesterday told the Su- preme Soviet Council the United

Roosevelt Says Congress Is 10 Be Asked for
 S275,000,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Presi- dent Roosevelt estimated today that the cost of safeguarding American neutrality for the first ten months of the war will be $275, 100000.
 The President told reporters the sum is to be asked of Congress as a deficiency appropriation in Janu- ary, thus strengthening the belief of officials that the total national defense appropriation for next session of Congress will exceed two billion dollars.
 President Roosevelt said the de- ficiency money is needed to pay for increases in the armed forces as proclaimed in September under a limited national emergency head ing.
 The Army is expected to take a billion dollars next year, the Navy almost as much, and other lesser services the balance.

(By Associated Press)

The manifold declaration of So- viet Russia's foreign policy and the drastic shakeup of the Italian Fas- cist regime, today gave Europe ample food for thought as to how it's current war without major bat ties might be affected.
 Premier and Foreign Minister Molotoff's speech before the Su- preme Soviet Council shed new light on the Finnish Russian negotia- tions. bitterly criticized by the Allies, and also hinted that Soviet rela- tions with Japan might also be i'm proved very soon.
 Molotoff's disclosure of his terms demanded of Finland caused fur " in Helsinki where details of the negotiations have been kept secret by Finland's delegation which. how ever, is continuing conferences in Moscow following telephone con- sultation with the Finnish Govern ment as the result of the new situa- tion created by the demands.
 Demands on Finland
 The following are the demands made by Molotoff on Finland:
 One-Strip of Finnish territory north of Leningrad.
 Two Naval base on Finland's side of Gulf of Finland and on some islands in the gulf.
 Three Portions of Finland's northern territory.
 Four Demilitarization of Fin nish frontier in exchange for Rus sian protection.
 Russia withdraws objections to Finlands fortifying the Aalan d Islands.
 It has been decided by the Fin nish Cabinet that negotiations con- tinue so that Finland cannot be accused of disrupting the talks.

WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-Ameri- can rescue craft both afloat and in the air this afternoon widened their search for the British freighter Coulmore which flashed an sos" last night she was being attacked by a submarine about 68O miles west of New York.
 First to arrive on the scene was the Coast Guard cutter Bibb of the neutrality patrol fleet. No trace was found however of the 3,6OO-ton craft nor survivors.
 The Bibb then left for spot northward.
 Besides the Bibb, Coast Guard cutters Hamilton, Campbell, Che Ian, Argo and Duana with two Coast Guard planes and an unan- ncunced number of United States Navy vessels combed the area.
 A moderate southerly gale is blowing.
 This afternoon an extensive search is being made and messages are to be dispatched in case any news develops.
 The Coulmore was last reported at Baltimore on October Is. At that time the craft was under com mand of Capt. Ernest Davies and a crew of 34 men was aboard.
 The wife of Capt. Davies is also reported aboard.
