BUSINESS HOLDS
RECOVERY TREND
Drought and Labor Unrest
Are Retarding Factors
During Week.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. June s.-Despite
drought damage to crops and tension
arising from labor unrest, business
still shows on the whole an inclina-
ton to move forward on the recovery
trend in evidence for more than
year. Dun g. Bradstreet, Inc. reported
today in its weekly trade review.
Weather conditions have stimulated
retail trade, according to the review,
although business in drought areas
has been hurt and volume gains there
over last year have been almost wiped
out.
The average Of industrial oper-
atlonS has been well maintained" it
continued, "as slight expansion in
capital goods has offset the slacken-
ing reported by manufacturers of
consumers products.
Despite the recession in factory
activities, employment is being well
maintained and pay rolls generally
are at the highest level since 1881.
While the greatest unemployment
continues in the durable goods indus
tries, improvement in this direction
may become evident shortly, as nearly
a billion dollars of new financing is
planned to be released, now that the
long-delayed control bill has become
reality and will permit the return
Of the investment base in the ma
Jority OF future stock market trans
actions"
The review said the country was
confronted with new problem of
rising living costs, with food prices
likely to be higher in the Fall as a
result OF drought damage.

FAIR TRIAL WAS
 DEMANDED IN THE
 HAUPTMANN CASE
Prosecutor Said That Jury Panel Was Tempered
 With By Booklet

Remington, N. J., Dec. 24.- UP) ).-Safeguards to assure fair and impartial trial for Bruno Hauptmann were considered today by state officials. The prosecution charged that "a malicious and de- liberate attempt" had been made to tamper with the jury panel.
 A booklet mailed to veniremen aroused New Jersey authorities and led to postal inspectors being notified. The literature, mailed from Chicago, described fictitious case which closely paralleled the Kidnapping of Col Charles A. Lind bergh's infant son. It set forth that the defendant was acquitted and attempted to prove that the Kidnapped infant strayed from home and was not Kidnapped.
 Anthony M. Hauck, Jr, Hunter don county prosecutor, said the pamphlet was a deliberate attempt to distort the states case and that it might Hand somebody else in a cell along with Hauptmann."
 The defense was not suspected.
 The prosecutor planned a con- ference with state officials today or Wednesday. Attorney General Da- vid T. Wilentz, who is directing the states case. declined to in- timate what steps might be taken. The question of calling a new panel of 150 for the trial was believed under consideration by authorities.

AIRPLANES HAVE

Pilot and Three Children LOst-Seven Missing in
 Another Plane

Elko, New, Dec. 24.-(UP)- New searching parties and two air planes prepared to set out at dawn today to find a plane missing with its pilot and three children passen- gers. Authorities feared all were dead.
 Scores of men shod with snow shoes plodded over drifts and snow-filled mouantain passes ir the vicinity of North Fork all night without finding a trace ot the plane. It disappeared yester- day between Elko and Mountain city, so miles north of here. The children, two boys, 14 and IS, and a girl, 16. eager to see the Christmas tree awaiting them in their home at Mountain City were piloted by Floyd Delong, an expert mountain flyer. A second plane piloted by Newton Crumly with the parents, MT and Mrs Thomas Stinton, took off at the same time and reached Mountain City safely.
 The Terrain between Elko and Mountain City is too rough to af- ford safe landing anywhere, au- thorities said. The territory Is sparsely settled and the few roads were snow-bound, handicapping ground searchers. Flying condl- tions yesterday were ideal except for fog at North Fork, half way
