Besides granting broadened govern

INVADER OF TUTS TOMB
AFTER DEFYING 'CURSE'
KEW YORK. Dec. 3. f AP) Dr.
James H. Breasted, eminent arch
eologist who invaded the tomb ot
Egypt's Tutankhamen and scoffed at
the supposed curse upon those who
violated Us age-old sanctity, died
today.
The 70-year old scientist uc
cumbed to a blood disease at the
Presbyterian medical centre where
he waa rushed last week from the
liner Conte Dl Savola.
Officials of the hospital announc
ed Dr. Breasted died of a "hemolytic
streptococcic Infection."
"The condition at first was man
ifested through a sore throat nd
temperature," the official announce
ment continued. "This revived an
apparently latent malarial condition
dating from a malarial attack which
Dr. Breasted incurred a number ot
years sro."
Dr. Breasted's Infection developed
during his trip homeward from the
near ca.it.
The archaeologist was one of the
discoverers of the tomb of King
Tutankhamen on whose walls were
engraved the words:
"Death shall come on swift wings
to him that toucheth the tomb oi
Pharaoh."
Dr. Breasted, however, had fre
quently ridiculed thla curse.

Past Advances Sputtered
Out Early Is Warning
Various Factors Advanc
ed For More Hopeful View
By Thomas E. Flanagan
(Associated Press Financial Writer)
NEW YORK, Dec. 2. ( AP) Wall
Street economists hope the current
business upturn la no false start.
As pointed out by the federal re
sorve bulletin for November, they
stress that the three preceding ad
vances were one-cylinder affsirs
which sputtered out.
The first .in the summer of 1932,
chvigged along mnlnly under the
power of textile output. The second,
started In March, 1033, aided by
the reopening of the banks and de
pletion of certain commodities.
The third, which toughed Its peak
In May 1034, had aa Its stimulus
increased steel output and steel
buylne In anticipation of price In
creases. This, the fourth, haa had more
cylinders at work, financial observ
ers Insist, although those with ears
cloao to the motor say they detect
an occasional sound of skipping. .
Various factors are advanced by
the hopeful which point to con
tinued progress. For one thing, the
volume of home building has 'been
running about twice that of a year
ago.
Automobile production haa shot
up to the 3.200,000 mark for the
first ten months of 1030, compared
with 2,800.000 for the entire year
1034. .
Higher farm income together with
nn estimated Increase of 10 per cent
in factory payrolls over last year.
Indicate, they feel, oven larger aut
omobile output for 1036, particular
ly In the light of the number of !
aging cars.
