Dr. Macdonald Criticizes Early President and De- clares Many of His Pro- nOuncements Were Only Political Subterfuge.

Chapel Hill, N. C., Dec. 3t CPl- Andrew Jackson was pictured today by William Macdonald, professor or
 history at Brown university. as q
 man whose personal limitations
 seem today far greater than his achievements.
 Andrew Jackson, century esti- mate," was the subject of the pa per presented by Dr. Macdonald be- fore one of the groups of the Amer ican Historical association, which
 yesterday opened it's 44th annual
 meeting. The association is meet ing jointly with the University Of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, anI Duke university, Durham, N. C. Used Political Subterfugc
 In his paper on Jackson, Mr Mac Donald described the man as one who always asserted that his ac- tions were flor the people, though the words were probably more q political commonplace than as a body to be needed and served.
 Jackson was said by Dr. MacDon- aid to have been the most infuen- tial personality in American politics from the time of Jefferson to the time of Lincoln. Despite limited intellectual powers Dr. Macdonald asserted Jackson enunciated certain political principles and committed himself to certain political princi. pies, which together set the political tone for his administrations and served as q doctrine for his follow CTS. He was more forcible and di- rect in his views than Jefferson and no influence comparable to his in the popularization of political the
 ory emanated from the presidential office after him until Woodrow Vii
 son was elected, the speaker added Stresses His Limitations
 From whatever the point of view the Jackson period may be studied, Jackson's personal limitations seem
 today appreciably greater than his achievements. Not only was his practice of personal government op- posed to any rational theory Of the nature of the American constitu- tional system, but it also made his own course vagarious, quite as much
 at times matter Of caprice as req . soned conception of the problem" The cultural advance
 ment of the United States, whether in the quickening of intellectual life, the mitigation of social ineOualitinS and injustices, or the refinement Of
 manners, owed nothed to him in example or encouragement; he in : carnated rather the spirit of a crude frontier, uncouth, quick temper driven to makeshifts and force."

 After some discussion the com mittee voted to engage Mr. Ross who is assistant city engineer in Hartford, as architect. His price is $1,000 plus $500 for supervision Messrs Crandall and Berg opposed the $500 for supervision on the grounds that Mr. Ross being unable to be present except before and after the working day and on Sat urday afternoons, would be unable to give adequate supervision and that additional supervision will have to be engaged when the contract for construction is awarded.

BUSINESS SURVEY
 MORE OPTIMISTIC
Final Week Of Year Shows Trade
 Foundation Sound

New York, Dec. 31 (UP)-The final week of the year has given further confirmation of the under lying soundness of the nations bus mess and plans are being pushed for a remarkab ble resumption of trade early next year, according to reports from various business centers throughout the country.
 Not only was retail trade last week spurred by a last minute Christmas rush, but a note of optimism per- vades in various business circles and it is conceded that events of the past several months will not be repeated.
 Stocks Continue Recovery
 Stock market prices have contin- ued their recovery, steel operations show signs of immediate revival, in ventories are low, weather conditions are improved and motor car pro- duction appears to be headed for much higher levels than were pre- dicted several weeks ago.
 Industrial operations, notably steel and automotive, admittedly were around their lowest levels of the year last week but this condition was entirely natural and not regard ed as significant
 According to advices from Detroit, the coming winter showing of new automobile models will meet with heavy demand and should greatly stimulate sales, while steel manufac- turers report increased purchases from automobile makers with a re- the steel industry.
 Railroad Gives Statement
 The most concrete evidence of an carly trade revival was contained in the statement of the Atchison. To- pclla &5 Santa l'e railroad that it would spend $2S0, 100000 during the coming year. divided among better mcnts, maintenance, dividends, in torcSt, taxes and other charges. President Storey of the Atchison augmented this statement with a forecast that the Atchison's general merchandise traffic will hold up as well as ever next year.
 From others sections of the conn., try, equally optimistic reports are being made by business leaders and affects of the stock market crash are being minimized.
 Cheaper Lines Favored
 One development of the past weel; has been the general disposition of buyers to take cheaper lines of retail merchandise. This development, however, was expected weeks ago as an aftermath of stock exchange break and most of the leading deal CTS had already prepared themselves in advance and did not put in large lines of high-price merchandise for Christmas demand,
 This tendency has kept stocks Of retail merchant stocks at low ebb and will undoubtedly be reflected in fewer clearance sales of merchan- disc during January. Tn most in- stances, dealers have gathered good profits in the Christmas trade. In the lighter lines, q decided i'm provement in the wool trade has led 10 a feeling of optimism, while other textiles have been quiet on account of the holidays.

NEW AIR RECORDS
 SET DURING 1929
World Flight Of Graf Zeppelin
 Features Aviation Year

Washington, Dec. 31. (UP)-Al- though extremely busy exchanging it's spangled circus wardrobe for the frock of big business, aviation found time during 1929 for a few hair-rais- ing stunts.
 While bankers hauled out their gold bags to build airplane factories and Uncle sam spent millions light ing and mapping the nations sky roads, aviation's stellar performers were devising new exploits.
 Two planes spanned the Atlantic from west to east during the year. The Graf Zeppelin, setting a new mark for lighter-than-a ships, en- circled Mother Earth's ample waist. And young Navy flicr went higher in an airplane than anyone ever had.
 Early January found two Army pi- lots, Major Carl SpatZ and Capt. Ira c. Baker, in the monoplane "Ques- ton Mark" Aloft over Los Angeles, they were trying to remain longer in the air than any man before them. When, on January ', they alighted at Los Angeles airport they had been up 150 hours, 40 minutes, and 15 seconds. During it's sojourn of near iy a week in the air their plane, powered by three Wright Whirl- winds, was refueled 36 times. The war Department hailed their feat as a proof that refueling Was feasi- blc.
 Souccks Record
 The aviation world, in it's more spectacular phases. was fairly quiet until May s. Then, on a clear spring day. Lieut.. Apollo Soucck, UsN, hoppcd in his Wright Apache plane at Anacos- tia Naval Air Station 10 rise high from the earth.
 His little ship. equipped with a super charger, became a mere speck high above the Potomac. When, one hour and 24 minutes later, Soucek again touched earth, his barograph registered more than 40,0O0 feet. Bureau of Standards test showed a true reading of 39,- 40 feet-a worlds altitude record
 Later, on May 2G. thousands of Washington officials stood along the banks of the Potomac as an even two dozen planes rose to con- tend for the CurtiSs Marine Tro- phy. Skimming low over the river, Lieut.. w. c. Tomlinson l-SN, flying a Curtiss Hawk, crossed the line, victorious. His average speed was 162.52 miles per hour. Summer came, Bernard mono plane powered by 12-cyinder Hispana- SuiZa, took off from Old Orchard, Me, for Lc Bourget Field Paris.
