ITALY STRIVES
 TO HALT DRAIN
Struggle to Keep Lira on Gold Basis Italy's 1884
 Highlight
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN { United Press Staff Correspondent

NOhAeSO GEOSS ctnM SOEICSpOANCuO)
 Rome-(UP)-Formation of a cooperative state" and struggle to keep the lira on gold basis were highlights of Italy's 1894 economic developments.
 The end of the year found the country, dominated more than ever by Premier Benito Mussolini, trying by drastic means to boost its foreign trade and halt drain on the gold reserves. Italian nationals were ordered to notify the Bank of Italy of their investments in foreign bonds and in Italian bonds issued abroad. Bankers, business firms and brok- CTS were compelled to turn over all foreign exchange to national institute.
 The cabinet passed bill au- thorizing special taxes on products from countries that have not ex- tended special privileges on simi- lar Italian products. The corporate state," held up before the world as a worthy model to follow, strengthened the grip or the government on the national life. Twenty-two corpora tions were set up, each to make laws for industry, commerce, business and the professions, and each headed by Il Duce, as presi- dent.
 Internal economics were feat ured by three major developments. A 4,00O,000,000 lire loan was first launched and Italians versub- scribed to the extent of 9,000,OOO,- 900 lire. other successful achievement was the conversion loan of about 1000, 0,000,000 lire of consols and Lictor bonds, of which only 23,0O0,O00 lire were refunded to skeptical savers. A last loan was f1oated in November, which amounted to 2,O0O, 100000 lire and the public responded with savings totaling almost 4,000,000,000 lise.

while several safe cracking jobs were also reported here.
 Eddie" Mullings Dies
 The death of the popular deputy superintendent, Edward J. Null lings, left that important post open and there were subsequent rumors of a departmental shake-up. The vacancy is still thrilled and still the cause of considerable specua- tion as to who wil be the ap- pointee. Another one of several deaths recorded in the department during the year was that of Patrol- man Simon Mccarthy, one of the veteran members of the force.
 Late this fall, the poiciemen's association secured permission from the police board to hold a Policeman's Ball, thereby reviving a gala social event which has not been held for several years.

 Doubt as to whether Mrs Lind bergh would be called to aid the state was set at rest by an an- nouncement from prosecuption headquarters. Her testimony will be offered to establish the time of the Kidnapping, about 9:10 o'clock the night of March 1, 1892. She is known to have heard a myste- rious tap against the wall of the house on the side where the baby's nursery was located. This tap, the state undoubtedly will attempt to prove, was the sound made by the kidnaper in putting up ladder down which thei infant was carried to his death.
