REPORT Of STATE COUNCIL IS
INDICATIVE Of BETTER Times

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 27. U.P)-
Employment gains, higher sales and
corporation tax yields, better farm
prices and heavily increased at
tendance at prize fights and wrest-
ling matches were definite indica-
tions this month that better times
are coming. to California, accord
ing to reports submitted by men,
bers of Governor Rolph's council.
Dividends from II closed banks
augmented the states purchasing
power The largest dividend was
S3,599,031 paid by the California
Trust and Savings Bank of Cali
fornia.
The council reports, the last SUBJ
mitted in 1888, expressed more
optimism generally than they had
at any time during the year.
Director T. A. Reardon of the
state industrial relations depart
ment said free employment offices
had placed 94,l92 men and women
in jobs since July /, 1882; 26,407
were put to work on CWA projects
between December and 16, and
additional thousands were given
employment through the same re-
lief work during the past 10 days.
General level of farm prices rose
to II per cent of the pre-war aver
are, compared with 10 for the pre-

closed and unemployment was at
its peak-the most diScouraging
set of circumstances ever confront
ed by this generation.
"Today our citizens are return
ing to work. Employment and pay
rolls of manufacturing industries
are up so per cent over 1882 levels.
Corporations are restoring dividends
and increasing dividend rates. Col
lectionS are better; wholesale prices
have risen sharply. Electric power
production, automobile sales, car
loadings, construction contracts,
steel production-all have shown
significant increases.
'Hotels and restaurants are do
ing better. The cheapened dollar
has stimulated foreign buying, pro-
NOTED crop movements abroad and
is steadily reducing the agricultural
surplus. AS a result farm prices,
already improved, give better prom
Use for next season S harvest.
Prices Improve
"As usual, California is showing
an outstanding record in the cur
rent improvement. Farmers are re-
j ceiving better prices for products
which were previously depressed
The peach producers, for example,
are now obtaining good return on
their output, and inventories are
low, insuring a free movement Of
the fruit to the ultimate consum-
er when next seasons harvest is
marketed. Prohibition repeal has
proved a stimulant to agriculture
and allied industries.
November was the sixth conSec-
utive month in which California
manufacturing industries have
shown increased numbers of en-
ployees and payrolls, and the i'm
provement in purchasing power is
reflected in a better volume of re-
tail sales, which are now Surpass-
ing the showing for the correspond
ing period of 1882.
"The improvement III general
conditions is not confined to any
specific area. Although it is inten-
sified here, it is world wide. Europe,
particularly Great Britain, has felt
the uptrend, and despite the fact
that wheat production plays such a
dominant part in its economic life,
SO has Canada. 1 am told that in
Australia and New Zealand the bet
terment approaches the proportions
of boom.
"In America we have leader who
has shown an uncanny control of
economic and political forces. Bad
gered by inflationists on one side
and the so-called sound money
advocates on the other. He has held
to the sanest and soundest course
a course which has ket the coun-
try behind him and has forced con-
gress to recognize his leadership.
II hope that his path will be
cleared of obstacles and that the
American people will be prompted
In the realization of the unmistak-
able improvement which has al
ready taken place under his leader

GAIN SHOWN
IN BUSINESS
LAST MONTH

LOS ANGELES, Dec. %. U.P) -
An appreciable gain in California
business in November was reported
today by the research department
of the state chamber of commerce.
One of the brightest spots in the
report covered automobile sales
which showed an 80 per cent in
crease over November of 1882 and a
20 per cent gain over the cores
ponding month of 1881.
Department store sales increased
80 per cent and should show an in
crease of SIS per cent this month, al
lowing for the usually seasonal up
swing, the report said.
Car loadings although below Oc-
tober levels declined less than the
seasonal RECESSION with the result,
according to the survey, that the
index advanced 9.6 per cent, gain
of 13 per cent over November, 1882.
Conversely, bank debts in IA ci-
ties in the state dropped is under
October figures. Excluding Los An
geles, San Francisco and Oakland
from this group, the remaining ci-
ties reported an increase of 1.8 per-
cent.
The report said five of the eight
major groups of manufacturing in :
dustries showed slight declines from
the previous month, but attributed
the shrinkage to seasonal factors.

NOTED BANKER OPTIMISTIC IN

Giannini Declares California Is One Of
Brightest Spots In Comeback Of Nation
al Industry.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27 W.P)
Declaring that it is no longer
necessary to forecast better times
because better times already are
here, highly optimistic statement
of nationwide business conditions
was issued here today by A. P. Gil
annini, chairman of the board,
Bank of America.
The bankers statement declared
that California was an especially
bright spot in the upturn of bus
ineSS conditions.
The statement in full:
cit is no longer necessary to
forecast better times. Throughout
the nation general improvement
is taking place, and in California
the upturn is particularly note
worthy. All that we need today is
recognition of the plain fact that
better times are here.
"This recognition is impeded by
the many false starts which have
proved disappointing in the past
But this time the upturn is actual
subject to statistical proof. The
Presidents recovery program is
we'll under way, and it must be the
object of every loyal American to
see that no confidence-shaking
controversies over the details of its
operation are permitted to CONCEAL
into obstacles to its progress.

trade was paralyzed, banks were

BANK DEPOSIT
INSURANCE IS
SNAPPED Up
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. U.P) -

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. U.H -
A total of 1859 of the country's
14,5O0 operating banks nave ap-
piled for membership in the gov
ernment's bank depositors insurance
pool, which becomes effective next
Tuesday, Walter j. Cummings,
chairman of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation said today.
Under the plan, approximately 81
per cent of all bank deposits of the
country will be insured in full, as
the plan involves insurance in full
of all deposits up to $4,000.
Three of the country's largest
banking institutions already have
paid their assessment into the de-
posit insurance fund. They are the
BoWery Saving bank, New York,
the Bank of America, $860,000, and
the National City bank of New
York, which paid $332,114.
Officials of tine deposit corpora
ton said today that nearly ALL of
the larger institutions have come
into the pool but they refused to re-
veal the amount of money paid in
SO far in assessments.
Banks participating in the insur-
ance fund are assessed one-half of
one per cent of their insurable de-
posit liabilities to form the pool.

COURT MAKES
UNIQUE RULING
ABOUT TWINS

YANKTON, S. D., Dec. 27. U,P)
Twins may be born with the same
mother but different fathers, Judge
A. B. Tripp recognized today in
awarding a divorce to Ewald Peddie
who charged that his wife had been
unfaithful.
The decision, granting Peddie a
divorce by default on the charge of
unfaithfulness was based on Ped
dies contention that one of pair
of twins was not his child, but that
of a neighbor. The other twin, Ped
die said, was legitimately his and
his Wife's.
Doctors called to testify as to the
scientific possibility of such an un-
usual situation told the court that
in the case of "paternal twins" such
a condition was possible. Judge
Tripp thereupon gave Peddie Gus
tody of the twin which he claimed
was his, but left the other of dis
puted parentage to the mother.

COMPLETION OF
Woman Upheld

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27. W.P)
Conviction of Olive Clark Day,
Hollywood, on a charge of contrib
uting to the delinquency Of minors
in furnishing young girls to wealthy
men on parties, was upheld today
by the state supreme court.
Miss Day appealed from a con-
viction at her second trial on Octo-
ber 18, 1882, in Los Angeles. She al
legged that at the second trial, the
prosecution was unable to find Cla-
rice Tauber Flaudebo, young girl
involved in one of the parties.
The supreme court ruled that
deposition given by the girl at Miss
Days first trial, was acceptable.
After her first conviction, Miss
Day successfully appealed to the
district court of appeals and won
another trial at which a superior
court jury again returned a verdict
of guilty.

OF BANKING
FINDS FAVOR
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-A wall
street drive for unification of the
American banking system may force
the congress convening one week
from today to consider vital prob
lens which have developed in con-
nection with the dual federal-state
bank structure.
Informed congressional opinion is
convinced it would be impossible to
impose unification this winter.
The rival Morgan and Rockefel-
Ter interests, lately in polite dis
agreement over federal regulation of
private banks, are bidding now for
congressional attention in behalf of
bank reform legislation. The nub of
beth plans is unification of the
banking system, although Winthrop
W. Aldrich, chairman of the Rookie
feller-controlled Chase National
bank. would approach unification
gradually.
The Morgan-controlled Guaranty
Trust Co., of New York has ad-
vanced the theory that the dual
system is outgroWn. Both the Rock
efellers and the Morgan firm want
an extension of the right of ma
tional banks TO operate branches.
The Glass bank reform bill passed
last session authorized national
banks to operate branches in states
which extend that privilege to state
banks. The number is fewer than
one-t third of the 48 states.
The state banker has been dra-
matized for congress in the person
of the littel fellow about to be over
whelmed by the great financial in
terests.
Advocates of unification or gener-
al branch banking contend that
banking in this country should be
brought to single high standard
and maintained there by rigid in
spection and control.

Devastating cold and terrific win
ter blizzards took toll of lis lives
as sub-zero cold spread over the
nation in the wake of widespread
storms.
Eight men drowned in the icy wa
ters of Lake Michigan when two
small tugs sank with all hands
while attempting to recover fishing
nets. A third tug was beached and
the crew swan through freezing
breakers to safety.
SevereSt cold of the year brought
suffering and death from exposure
to many. In the midwest tempera-
lures were as low as 20 to 80 de-
grees below zero. Lake Edward

and claimed the honor of being
North Americas coolest SPOT. 1t
was Q below zero in Chicago.
In Chicago, Blanche and Barbara
Marshall, 5-month-old twins, were
smothered to death when their mo-
ther, Marie, put them in her own
bed fearing they would freeze if left
in their crib.
Trading on the Chicago fruit and
vegetable, onion and potato markets
was suspended because traders fear
ed the vegetables would freeze if un-
loaded from freight cars.
The death toll of the floods and
storms of the Pacific northwest was
set at "a and damage at $4,000, 900.
Authorities were fearful of addi-
tional deaths due to continued heavy
landslides and snoWslides which
have taken eight lives since Sunday
Weather forecasters predicted
slight letup in the cold today and
tonight but said the higher temper
atures probably would bring renew
ed snowfall.

: Surgeons of Johns Hopkins hos
pitai held high hopes today of saw
ing the life of five months old Sue
Trammell, who was flown here on a
perilous night trip through storms
and snow for delicate brain op-
Grafton.
James r. Wedell, racing pilot, cut
short a holiday hunting trip in

BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. 81. U.P)
Rocketing out of stormy skies,
James r. Wedell, famous racing
aviator, descended today on snow
covered Logan airport, bringing five
months old Sue Trammell from
Houston, Tex, to John Hopkins
hospital for an emergency brain
operation to save her life.
Summoned from vacation hunt
ing trip in Texas, Wedell drove his
fast monoplane through clouds and
rain and snow to speed the child
to Dr. Walter E. Dandy, as famed
in brain surgery as the slight Lou
isianan in flying.
% Wedell landed at 1: 81 a. m. COM
pleting the 1,400 mile dash at an
average speed of 145 miles an hour.
At times, he said, he made 100
miles an hour, but refuelling stops,
and dust, crosswinds, and head
winds cut down his average.
The stricken baby, accompanied
by her distraught parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Elliott Trammell. of Houston,
and her maternal grandmother.
Mrs. w. w. Fondren, was taken
from the air ambulance to the hos
pital and examined by DR.. Paul
Kunkle, associate of DR.. Dandy.
Wedell was hunting ducks near
the home of his grandmother, at
West Columbia, Tex, when he re-
ceived his summons for his flight.
Within an hour Wedell started, in
his shirt-sleeves.
At Atlanta the party ate and
Wedell headed north in the face

I'm Gun Fight

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 27. UP) -
Police were of the tentative belief
today that warfare between white
and Oriental narcotics smugglers
lay behind an attempted massacre
in Chinatown last night in which
two Chinese bystanderS were
wounded.
Officers of the police narcotic
squad went to a Chinatown address
in response to an anonymous tele-
phone message that narcotics were
on sale there. While police were
searching the premises-where no
drugs were found-an automobile
loaded with white men drove by the
building, and the two men began
firing into the crowd of Chinese
spectators to the raid.
Lem Quan, At, was shot in the
leg, and Wong Ling Duck, AT, in the
foot. Neither was seriously hurt.
