HIXON OPPOSES
PARDON EFFORT
Hearing In Behalf Of Two Arneri-
Gus Men Held By State Prison
Commission

ATLANTA, Jan. 5. - The, state
prison commission yesterday after
noon heard arguments on the pend
ing application for pardon of Dr.
Chas. Chapman and Warren l. john.
son, serving each a life sentence upon
conviction of the murder of Walter
Wade in or near Americas about four
years ago. The men have served about
three years on the sentence.
In behalf of Johnson particularly
there is a very strong array of in
.fluence in support of the prayer for
either pardon or parole. From Mil
and Macon alone there
came to the commission about Is
kilograms urging favorable action for
johnson, who once was a Macon po-
liceman. While none of these mes
.sages referred to DR.. Chapman in any
way, the record in the case before
the commission shows an unusually
strong backing for him also.
Solicitor julie FELTON, and Judge j.
A. Hixon, of Americas, who was as.
ISOLATED with counsel for the prosecu-
ton, are strongly opposing any rec
concentration of clemency by the
prison commission. SoIiticor General
julie FELTON, did not appear in per-
son, but Judge Hixon did, Mr.. Fell
ton wrote the commission letter de-
claring there has been no change in
the case or the application since he
argued against it nearly year ago,

Hixon, he has concluded to include

Copyrigh 1872. New York Tribuu, Inc.
BERLIN. Jan. 2?.-Nhilc the general
German financial and economic situation
remains uncertain, there are indications
that Germany may succeed during the
coming year in balancing her foreign
trade, which condition, if coupled with
constructive international action at the
Genoa conference and a readjustment of
the reparatons problem. would, it is de-
cjareo, 60 long way toward stabiliz-
ing the economic situation not only of
Germany but Of the whole Of Europe.
There are two fundamental points 20
be remembered in analyzing economic
conditions i'll Germany; the first is the
necessity of balancing her home budret
and the second the necessity of balanc-
ing her foreign trade. The report Of
German foreign commerce during De-
ccmber shows the gratifying fact that
ior the first time since the outbreak Of
the war German exports and imports
are balanced. While this does not
necessarily guarantee such balancing
for the entire year 1929. it does indi.
cate an important tendency. The enor-
miously inflated imports during 1921. it
ls now shown, were principallv raw ma
terias
Another factor which speaks well for
the development of German foreion
trade this year is the constantly in
creasIng activity of German shipvards.
Two important developments which oc
CURED during the last week are worth
mentioning in this connection. The
Howalt shipyard at Kiel which before
the war always experienced great din
cultles and for two or three Years
seemed on the point Of bankruptcy. de-
clared dividends amounting to q ner
cent. seA
The directors Of this shipyard an
nounced that they have enough orders
on hand to keep the plant working
wen beyond the current year. This
one item IS highly indicative Of the
lapicly developing German shipping
competition, which, taken together WITH
the newly developed tendency toward
balancing German foreign trade. sneaks
significantly of Germany's advance to-
"ard recapturing her foreign markets
:, another development this week in
,ne same domain was the receipt Of
heavy orders from Scandinavia bv the

that this year will see a vast improve
