By United Press SAN FRANCISCO. April 27.—The father, mother and three younger brothers of Joe Brolan, 11, waited eagerly today to hear the voice the youngster had regained after eight years. Joe is in a Philadelphia hospital now, able to speak again after a delicate operation on his throat, and his family expects him to return home soon, possibly this weekend. The boy lost his voice at the age of 3 when ill of diphtheria. Physicians told the parents the boy never would speak again. The parents refused to give up hope. They sent Joe to the Jefferson hospital in Philadelphia. The parents were notified today that a silver tube in the boy’s throat had been removed and that he is speaking again.

Average of thirty industrials for Saturday was 151.98. efi 3.78. Average of twenty rails was 86.83. off 1.53. Aveiage of twenty utilities was 59.74. off 1.31. Average of forty bonds was 95.43. up .03. BY ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, April 27.—Millions of dollars was lopped off valuation of stocks listed on the country’s principal stock exchanges today as liquidation progressed. Spurred by failure of another stock exchange house—West & Cos. —holders dumped stocks overboard. Consideravble margin calling was induced by the West failure, the reorganization of Eaton-Otis interests and last week's failure of Pynchon & Cos. According to ’ preliminary calculations the Dow, Jones & Cos. industrial average declined 2.70 points to 149.28; rail average declined 0.93 points to 85.85. Sales for the sassion totaled 3,600,003 shares compared with 2,600,000 shares last Friday. Losses Reach 14 Points The West & Company suspension was announced from the rostrum of the stock exchange at 11:03 a. m. by President Whitney. After it was made public some support was afforded leaders, but failed to carry through and the whole list was driven down sharply. In an extreme case the loss was 14 points. Elsewhere prices were down 1 to 5 points in the main list. New lows for the year or longer were made by United States Steel, Westingliouse Electric, Du Pont, Allied Chemical Transamerica, Vanadium, Bethlehem Steel, Union Carbide, Ingersoll-Rand, Industrial Rayon, General Theaters Equip- j ment, American Bank Note, Fire- ! stone, and Western Union. Oil shares driven to new lows for ! the year included Standards of New ‘ Jersey, New York, California; Rio ! Grande Oil, Sinclair and Atlantic i Refining. Rail Issues Decline New York Central headed a de- j cline in rails, where new lows also j were made by Pennsylvania and ! Nickelplate. Nearly all amusements dipped to \ new lows. Utilities were down, i Rubbers, with the exception of Goodyear, declined sharply. General American Tank broke mere than 4 points to 58% in the railread equipments. Near the close a fair rally was staged under the leadership of United States Steel, which recovered to above 124 from its low of ; 122% made earlier in the day. Oil shares were prominent, and utilities also rose. Despite the late rise, the entire amount of looses was recovered in only a few instances. The close was lower, with averages the lowest in ; several years. Call money held at IV2 per cent 1 all day. Grains rallied to close 1 higher. Cotton also rallied. Bonds with the exception of United States ; government issues, were down.

On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

Following is the explanation of Ripley's “Believe It or Not” which appeared in Saturday’s Times: Leonardo da Vinci’s Legal Name —The legal name of Leonardo da Vinci, the great Italian' universal genius cf the Renaissance period, is given as Leonardo d.i Ser Piero d’Antonio di Ser Piero di Ser Guido da Vinci, in Maurice W. Brockwell’s bcok “Leonardo da Vinci.” P. W. A. Fitzsimmons found Seventy-two Pearls in an Oyster— In 1905, P. W. A. Fitzsimmons, president cf the Michigan Mutual Liability Company of Detroit, was served some raw oysters at his club, and noticed that one was larger than the others. Upon examination of what he thought was a gravel pit when he bit into it, he found seventy-two pearls, ranging from the size of a pea to the head of a pin. Mr. Fitzsimmons has kept all the pearls in his office as proof of his unusual find. The Auto Collision in Bishop-, ville, S. C.—On Friday, Feb. 8, 1929, C. Key Sanders of Chester, S. C., noticing another car approaching him out of control, stopped his car off the road near Bishopville. The other car, driven by Ralph McClendon of Bishopviile, swerved toward Sander’s car, somersaulted, and landed squarely on top of it. A few minor scratches were the only injuries received by any of the occupants. Tuesday: “The Small Man With a Big Jcb.”

WHEAT CLOSES UP IN NARROW TRADING RANGE Corn Touches New Bottom Levels for Past Ten Years. BY' HAROLD E. RAINVILLE. United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, April 27.—Wheat was unsettled on the Board of Trade ! today and while closing sharply | higher, held to narrow limits. The bottomless aspect in the coarse grains and the late weakness in stocks were depressing but fair sup- | port was in evidence and the marjket exhibited strong tendencies to | rally at times. The unceasing liquidation in May corn and oats again sent all deliveries of those grains into new ground, corn touching levels not equaled since 1921, and oats descending to 1901 marks. Stop loss orders were uncovered in profusion. Wheat Supports Market Buying against bids gave the market a substantial rally from the bottom and late strength in wheat had a support effect. The break brought in an aggressive shipping demand for oats, 200,000 bushels goins to cash buyers. At the close wheat watf % cent to 1® cents higher, with 9lay unchanged; corn was ® cent, to % cent lower and or.ts were V, cent to ® cent higher. Provisions were strong and higher. Liverpool and Buenos Aires receded considerably during the day, Liverpool closing 1 to 1® cents lower while Buenos Aires was down 1% cents early. A lower exchange rate was the chief factor in the decline in the Argentine market.. There was apparently some support on the dips early, but it was not sufficient to check the declines. Cash prices were unchanged. Receipts were 21 cars. Com Is Unsettled Corn was unsettled at the start as a result of the liquidation in May and the general unsettled situation in financial markets, the nearby months went to new lows for the season, breaking more than 1 cent by midsession, with May the lowest since 1921. There were a few rallies on short covering, but the tone was heavy and the selling continued. Cash prices were Vs to 2 cents lower. Receipts were 189 cars. Oats followed corn into new low territory for the season during the morning as liquidation came into the market. Prices were off 14 to % cent early. There was no special news and trading was not as active as in the other pits. Cash prices were 1 to lVs cents lower. Receipts were forty-six cars. Chicago Grain Table —April 27 WHEAT — Prev. Open.
