UPWARD TREND IN BUSINESS SAYS
 GEORGE s. GIBBS
Vice-President of Interna- tional Telephone and Telegraph Co Has Sur veyed Conditions

New York, Sept g. (UP)-A "slow but sure upward trend" in business was predicted to-day by Gen George s. Gibbs, vice-presi- dent of the International Tele- phone & Telegraph company. fol- lowing a personal survey of condi- tions in 32 American cities.
 The survey convinced Gibbs that "depression is in part manufactur- ed in New York" and 1t has lit- tie basis in actual conditions save in isolated instances. Pittsburg and Detroit, Gibbs said, were the only cities outside of New York where optimism has not begun to re- assert itself.
 He summed up the views of Heading bankers and business men of. 30 out of the 32 cities visited" as follows:
 Business is not good. We, are running little behind last year. But we are in sound condition, well able to take care of any of our victims of the depression, and we will need no outside assistance. Our city seems to be in splendid shape, considering the situation in other communities"
 Gibbs said that in many of the cities the depression was known only "by hearsay."
 "In other words, New York has informed them that depression is on," Gibbs asserted. ''So they think there must be one, but it is al- ways somewhere else."
 Gibbs found those cities depend- ent upon steel or automobile manufacturing in worse straits than those relying upon more di- versified industries, or those which are more purely distributing cen- ters.
 He said conditions in Atlanta, Charlotte, N. c. Omaha, Denver, and Cleveland were surprisingly sound" He was impressed by the tone of confidence in large retail distribution centers such as Min neapolis and Dallas.

MINERAL POOL PLAN
 FOR FARMERS STUDIED

Oklahoma Ciay-(UP)-Feasi- biiity of a plan devised to brina farm relief through the cooperat- tive pooling of mineral lands owned by farmers Is to be studied through out the southwest this fall by q member of the federal land econo- rsics staff.
 Dr w. A. Hartmon. member of the federal stan has been assigned to the mineral resource project and will make an extensive survey.
 The plan is to provide extra reve- nue to farmers. Large sectors oi land will be marked off and all land owners within that region will share commonly any returns from minerals sold therefrom, regardless of wlsom owns the land upon which the mineral is produced.
 The plan Is similar to that under which the osage Indian oil lands vSrs 'pooie6" with each headrisht q ehe tribe bharing equally tbe res csipts.

Refrigerator Week
 at Sears-R -ROebuck
Visit Store and Learn About Electrical
 Refrigeration

National refrigerator week will be celebrated from Sept z to 16 at the local Sears, Roebuck Co. ,re- tail store, according to an announ- cement made today by 5. Rosen- field. manager of the store.
 The 369 other units of the Sears, Roebuck retail organization also will celebrate national refrigerator week with programs similar to the one planned for the local store, Manager Rosenfeld said.
 The program will consist of demonstrations and informal dis cussions. There will be an exhibit of electrical refrigerators and their many uses will be explained. Special stress will be placed on the im- portance of electrical refrigeration in the winter months.
 @It may appear to be an innova- ton to conduct a nationwide elec- trioal refrigeration program at this time of the year when the heavy sales periods for refrigerators fall normally in the later spring and summer" said Manager Rosenfeld.
 "The purpose, however, is to con- vince people that the need for good refrigeration is easily as great, per- haps greater, in the winter than in the summer. Health, resistance to disease. are dependent on good food and food cannot be good un- less it is perfectly preserved.
 Factors of environment un- friendly to good health are more severe in the winter than in the summer. Epidemics are far more severe in the winter than In the summer despite the fact that the weather in summer makes it more difficult to keep food by ordinary methods"
 The Sears, Roebuck electric re- frigerator, said Manager Rosenfield, is the product of more than ten years of research and experiment tation. For five years after the refrigerator was developed 1t was tested both in laboratories and in private homes in all parts of the country and in all sorts of climates, before 1t was placed. on sale.
 The details of it's mechanism. its many uses and what it can do toward protecting the health of a family the year round will be ex- plained at the Sears. Rosbuck store.

Big Ship Owners In
 Battle To Control
 United States Lines
Capt DoHar and Kenneth D. Dawson Are Opposing
 Kermit Roosevelt and Vincent AStOr

San Francisco, Sept 3.-(UP)-- Two of the most colorful figures in AmericaA shipping were united to-day in an advantageous position in fight for control of the United States Lines.
 They are Captain Robert Dol lar, S7-year-old chairman of the board of the Dollar Lines of San Francisco, and Kenneth D. Daw- son, president of the Pacific-At- lantic Line and vice president and general manager of the States Steamship company of Portland, Ore.
 Associated with them was an- other western figure, Herbert Fleishhacker, San Francisco bank CT and financier. He is taking an inactive part. Also. in the group negotiating for the lines was Paul w. Chapman of New York, former lone operator of the ships ot be purchased.
 They were arrayed against the International Mercantile Marine Line, of which Kermit Roosevelt and Vincent Astor are leading fig- ures.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-09-03

The contract which would com plete the sale, and which has been ordered drawn up by the shipping board, would not be final until given further consideration. There were prospects of further con- test.
 A shipping battle would be nothing new to Captain Dollar. Nor would 1t worry Dawson, noted trade expert and Q central charac- ter in ocean transportation.
 Should the deal go through, 1t would add the huge Leviathan, two lines now being built, and 10 other ships to the Dollar group, which now operates many freight CTS and passenger ships. The latest of these, the Presi- dent Hoover, was completed re- gently at cost of $8,000,000 and left last week on her maiden voy- age, to the Orient. A sister ship, the President Coolidge. is near completion. Captain Dollar rose from a ma chine shop boy who worked for 60 cents a week in Scotland to become dean of Pacific shippers. Emigrating to Canada with his parents, he went to work in a slave factory, then as a lumber jack. He rose to be a foreman and saved $5,O00.
 The Dollars moved to California in 1887 and numbered up and down the coast until lack of shipping facilities was found to be handi- cap to great fortune. So Dollar went to sea.
 His lines had their greatest growth after he was 70. In the years between 1915 and 1880 the story of Captain Dollar became San Francisco legend.
 His friend, Peter B. Kyne, wrote stories about "Cappy Ricks," and it was known generally that Dol lar was Kicks, although neither Kyne nor Dollar ever admitted 1t. Dawson is A, approximately half Dollars age. He likewise was born poor boy, on Lincoln's birthday, 1887, in Santa Ana, Calf. With only an elementary school education, he started work as telegrapher for the Santa Fe Rail- road. He worked in Southern Cali fornia and Arizona until 1909.
 He entered the shipping field as an employe of Independent Steam ship companies in Los Angeles and worked up rapidly until made man. ager of a large company in New York in 1912.
 Dawson came to Portland from New York in March, 1920, for the Columbia Pacific Line, which in 1928 added il steamers bought from the shipping board. In that year he organized his own States Steamship company.

PORTUGAL GOES UNDER COMMAND
 OF DICTATOR
Military Government in Charge of Affairs and Leader Sees Success Ahead
BY WILLIAM H. LANDER [COnyriphf 1A2l hy limited Press


 Copyright 1881, by United Press. )
 Lisbon, Sept 3.-CUP)-Despite "monentary delays" caused by revo- of the Portuguese military govern will fulfRl it's program of economic normal constitutional government.
 Gen Carmona gave the United Press the first interview he has granted since the successful revolu- tion of 1926. He was elected presi- dent for a four year term March 25, 1928. He talked with the cor respondent for half an hour at Be- lem palace.
 With patriotism, tenacity and good will, I am confident that the dictatorship will successfully com plete its program to effect economic restoration and establish some sort normal constitutional government devoid of the ills and intrigues such as those which existed prior to 1926" he said.
 Revolution is the only cause of momentary delays in the govern ments work. I can not predict the length of time required to fulfill our program.
 Gen Carmona denied allegations in some sections of the foreign press that the dictatorship is tyran- nical.
 We are only a group of unsel- fish and personally unambitious men trying to eradicate portugals political ills an dput the country on a sound financial basis.
 Personal dictatorship is totally unthinkable. All our decisions are reached after mature considerations for the interests of the country. Furthermore. the government at- tacks nor prosecutes nobody"
 The president reiterated Portu- gals willingness to cooperate in to advance world peace. He said that Portugal will continue to follow the terms of the British alliance since the government real izes that 1t lacks the influence and importance of first rank power.
