PACKARD MAKES
 HUGE PRICE CUT
Standard Six Closed Mod- els Are Reduced
 $64O To $840

DETROIT, Mich., Dec. S0.-The Packard Motor Car company today threw a bomb into the automobile inc dustry with the announcement of one of the most drastic cuts in prices made on any automobile in years, reductions which affect all inclosed models of the Packard six, bringing them down to the same prices as those on the open cars. Reductions run from $64O to $840, of ficers of the company said.
 The reduction has been made in the midst of one of the most prosperous years in the company's history and with prospects ahead for a big year for the entire industry because it was be- lieved the action would result in big increase in distribution which would fully justify it. The new schedules are to be maintained, they added, as long as the expected increase in volume of busi- ness is maintained.
 The price of Packard eights is not af- fected. Alvan MacAuley, president of the company, explained that the new prices are applied to the regular stan- dard Packard six inclosed cars, which are to be continued of exactly the same quality as before. The company quarterly financial statement jGst is-. sued shows it to have $1S,155, ,57S.50 in cash and marketable securities with earnings for the quarter ending Noyem- Der 30, of $1,S72, ,753, one of the best quarterly periods in its history.

DAMAGED FRUIT BAN
 URGED BY GROWERS
CalifOrnians Seek Law To Pre-
 vent Shipment
(By Associated Press.)

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 30.-Demands for the immediate enactment of a state law which would prevent the shipment of oranges and lemons commercially damaged by frost to the eastern markets were voiced here today when 250 sOuth- ern California citrus growers and shippers discussed conditions resulting from the recent freeze with officials of the California Fruit Growers ex- change. It was pointed out that the present statute designed to meet the situation was not effective.
 The situation developing from the freeze has brought the California citrus belt face to face with serious problem, according to F. NJ. Lyon, chairman of the California Citrus league. Lyon declared that the cold snap just closed had badly frozen several thousand car loads of orGanges and lemons which rhould not be shipped to market. If they were shipped, he declared, serious damage would be done to California fruit standards among eastern buyers. The solution, he added, was immediate enactment of state regulations to pre- vent these oranges and lemons passing the borders of the state.

and inactive, capable of bringing their chosen leader only embarrassment.
 Even if he could command an efficient organizat tion, Trotsky would not con- template the slightest action which might be construed as revolutionary.
 Reports Are Misleading
 Misleading reports in the foreign press, most of which emanated from Berlin, to the effect that civil strike and blooshed had arisen from the campaign against Trotsky failed to take account of Trotskys loyalty to the soviet and submission to party discipline.
 The Red soldiers so often charmed by the fiery voice of the deposed war min ister, have shown little interest in the controversy that has ended in Trotsky's downfall. Such of them as have walked up to what was occurring have cham pioned the cause of the Cheka against Trotsky. The Urban workers have been converted by the anti-Trotsky pro- pagranda emanating from the Cheka, while the peasants on their remote farms have been insulated by distance from the entire controversy.
 Personal jealously prommpted many of the attacks against Trotsky, but a more fundamental cause is the com munist party's determination to dispose of internal differences in preparation for renewed efforts to bring the prac- tice of communism in Russia up to 100 per cent.

RETAIL BUSINESS
 SHOWS INCREASE
lContinued From Page One.l

(Continued From Page One.) 1923, and commercial failures during the month of November, in point of liabilities, were less than half those in the same month last year.
 Lumber Mills Active
 Lumber mills throughout the south were reported to be more active, and the number of active spindles in textile plants in the cotton growing states in creased 21S,000 over the month of Octo- Der.
 Building permits in the sixth dis trict showed a slight decrease as com pared with 1923, according to the re- view. Building permits reported for 20 cities in the district for the month of November totaled $S,124, ,453, as com pared with $9,70S,665 for the same month in 1923. This shows a loss of 163 per cent, or a total of $1 ,5S4, PIP.
 Due, however, to an exceptionally large figure of building permits re- ported from Nashville for November, 1923, figures for this city exhibited a decrease compared with that month of S2, ,722,052, this accounting for the lower aggregate figures.
 Employment Satisfactory
 Information received from various sources by the federal reserve bank, says the review, indicate that fairly satisfactory employment conditions ex- ist in the district with, however, some few exceptions. Reports received from cotton cloth and yarn mills and overall and brick manufacturing plants, show some increase in the number of workers compared with the preceding month. There is shown to be some unemplOy- ment in Georgia due principally to transients coming into the state from the north. Cotton oil plants at Augusta are temporarily closed, but other in dustrial plants are operating, and little unemployment is in evidence.
 At Atlanta some building mechanics are being released, and some plants are on part time.
 Some improvement is shown in the Birmingham district, where practical ly all plants are on a full time basis, and increases to force have been made in coal mining, textile mills and lum- Der plants. Part-time operation is in evidence at Mobile and AnnistOn, bu. increased employment is shown st Montgomery. .fs

 Herricks' conversation with Herriot is the first American action on the Clem- entel statement which created a sensa- tion when it appeared in London and Washington. Meantime, Clementel has protested to the Paris press that his statement has been misinterpreted. The finance minister refused to assume re- sponsibility for the suggestion that the sum of the profits accruing to the United States from the collection of war taxes should be deducted from the French debt.
 The ambassador explained to HeRriot, Tuesday that Clementels statement had shocked Washington, and requested that the premier instruct Ambassador Jus serand at Washington to counteract the bad impression by an explanation. Her rick spoke plainly and told Herriot that in order to destroy the effect of Clem- enters statement, Jusserand should be instructed formally to notify the Ameri- can government that France has no idea of repudiating her war debts as suggested by Clementel. Following this conversation, Herriot cabled instructions to Ambassador Jusserand, the nature of which is not known here.

BERLIN, Dec. 30.-Leon Trotsky, deposed from power in the communistic state he helped to found but permitted to retain his title of war minister, is convalescing at Sukhum in southern Russia and writing what may be his last book.
 The title of the book will be My Mistakes"
 From intimate friends of Trotsky I have learned that the war minister and his wife have definitely arrived at Sukhum, and that work on the book has begun. The former chieftain of the Red army, the greatest army ever as- sembled on Russian soil, not even ex- cepting the mighty force that Napoleon marched to Moscow, is almost isolated. He does retain a sympathetic following throughout the soviet populace, but the corterie of powerful lieutenants who were glad to link their names with his from 1917 to 1923, have deserted him, one by one.
 Lentzner Resigns
 The recent resignation of trotsky's trusted editorial secretary. Lentzner, is symptomatic of the bitter political coventry into which the former great man of Russia has been thrust It was Lentzner who edited Trotsky's book. "1917," which caused the resurgence of the party struggle and finally resulted in other communist leaders crowding Trotsky from power.
 On taking leave of his master. Lem tZner addressed a letter to Trotsky ex- plaining that he no longer could follow his chiefs disgressions from the path of communism. Lentzner as the last of Trotsky's intimate assistants to desert him.
 Stalin, Zineviev and other communist party leaders have cleverly maneuvered Trotsky into the position of champion ing the cause and representing the hopes of business men. intellectuals and others who chafe under the communist regime of iron discipline. This host of unwanted followers has been cumber- some handicap to Trotsky. Even these followers are completely unorganized

 "Bryan's attitude is due to his simple ignorance of facts. It is not the Bible s fault that evolution is said not to be compatible with religion, the fault is Bryan's," he said
 Comparing the methods by which Darwin and Bryan arrived at their conclusions, Rice declared that Bryans method is that of lawyer attempting to prove his case while Darwin studied for years in his search for knowledge. He labelled the commoner as a quack and advised that he first study his subject before giving out his opinions.
 "When Bryan uses his powers in pro- claiming that evolution and religion are hostile he becomes fundamentally dangerous to religion" he said.
