Prominent Pacific Coast Man Is in South Am-
 erica, Wife Ayers

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 13.- Lee Schlesinger, department store executive and member of a well known Pacific Coast family, drove his automobile into the Columbia River at Vancouver, Washington, and then fled to South America, two years ago, because of financial reverses and not marital difficult ties.
 This is the opinion of Mrs. Schlesinger, expressed in a copy right interview in the Los Angeles Examiner.
 Mrs. Schlesinger is living here with her parents. She said she had been asked to join her hus- band in South America but said she had two children to consider.
 Schlesinger's auto was found in the Columbia a River early one morning and an extensive search was made for Schlesinger's body as it was believed he had met with an accident. His body was never found and the tragedy was never fully cleared up. Mrs. Schles- inger's statement in the Examiner is the first apparent explanation of the tragedy"

WARNING IS SOUNDED ON ARMS PROBE
Dictatorship for France Is
 Seen On Political Horizon
 in Parliament's Iast TriaI'
By JOHN EVANS

PARIS, Dec. 13.-Dictatorship is on Frances political horizon.
 Even ex-Premier Gaston Dou- mergue was suspected by the left wing of parliament of seeking too much personal power" Edouard Herriot, who led his radical social ists out of the cabinet, definitely charged Doumergue with "admira- tion" for the attempted coup detat of Marshal MacMahon, the only man who ever dissolved the French chamber.
 That was Herriot's reply to Dou- mergue's revelations that he knew the political factions planned to overthrow his government about November Is. A week earlier Dou- mergue forced the issue and Her riots desertion caused the collapse of the political truce" cabinet, formed after the February riots.
 Parliament's Last Triap
 The possibility of dictatorship got official attention when the new premier, Flandin, in his first ap- pearance before the chamber, warned that we are now about 10 make our last trial of parliament in France"
 Privately, many public men say Fance must have a dictatorship to save the country from swift disin- tegration through the bankruptcy of parliament.
 Publicly, nearly all political lead CTS defend the republic. They de- clare for freedom as a principle but admit freedom must be curbed | for a time.
 "To Save The Republic" Doumergue, likewise, told the country in his radio talks, that hls strong measures such as changing the constitution, were intended to save the republic.
 When the left wing of his cabi- i net turned against him, bitter and disillusioned he declared that poli- ticians had learned nothing" from 1 the five weeks street fighting last February with a list of 28 dead and thousands wounded.
 Widespread financial corruption, revealed by the Stavisky case, al- legged governmental waste and in- efficiency and the repeated over

Complete Explanation of, 5 Per Cent Interest
 Charge Given

Additional information was made public today by Director John E. Pegues relating to the discount charges allowable for modernization loans under the provisions of the National Housing Act.
 In response to many requests, and to clear up misunderstandings, the Director issued the following statement:
 Need for Qualification
 T find there is much confusion and uncertainty about the stan dard 5 per cent discount rate" MT. Pegues said. "In fact, a number of interested people, individuals who were planning to make improve ments to re sid entia1 property through this method of financing have been given the idea that in addition to the per cent discount, an per cent interest rate is also paid.
 This is entirely erroneous. Not more than per cent discount can be paid under the governments in- sured loan plan.
 The most simple and dearest explanation of the whole plan was that recently given by MT. Roger Stefan, Director of Modernization

 Steel Trends

CHICAGO. Dec. 13.-Real pros perity to return next summer!
 That was the well l-founded pre- diction made here today by Charles G. Dawes, former Vice-President of the United States and now a Chicago financier.
 Dawes made his statement fol- lowing an exhaustive study of the economic situation.
 "A wave of great recovery" Dawes said, Twill begin with a rush for durable goods next June or July"
 Dawes based his estimate on graphs showing the trends in the pigiron and steel production prices both preceding and following the depressions of 1873, 1893 and 1929.
 It was explained that prices are following the same course in this depression as in the others, which is believed to mean that a gradual increasing production index in the steel industry is forecast of a positive upward trend.

 Should war break out prices will be frozen immediately to pre- vent skyrocketing.
 Heavy Taxation
 War profits will be seized by a drastlc taxation of 95 percent on all income, figured on the previous three-year average.
 Machinery will be created for the swift mobilization of the Na- tion's industrial resources in time of conflict.
 Presidents Conference
 President Roosevelt announced yesterday morning that confer ence had been called to map out program to take profits out of war" He said the conference had been called because the war clouds in Europe have cleared.
