TEN PER CENT
GAIN Seen IN
i. S. INCOME
Roper Predicts More Pros
perity for Nation Dur
ing 1886
OUTPUT OF DURABLE
GOODS INCREASING
By ARTHUR F. DeGREVE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80. CUP
Secretary of Commerce Daniel G.
Roper last night reported a ten
per cent increase in national in
come in 1885 and predicted more
prosperity and fewer hardshipS
for the American people in 1886.
In an optimistic New Years
statement, the cabinet officer
noted many signs throughout the
nation which he said indicated
plainly that the general cumula-
tive forces of recovery were gain
ing Roadway daily.
He listed:
A 10 per cent increase in fac
tory employment.
A 25 per cent increase IN fac
tory payrolls.
Maintenance of the 1884 level
of factory wages.
A 25 per cent increase IN pro-
duction of durable goods.
A 20 per cent increase in sales
of general merchandise in rural
areas.
An increase of 40 per cent N
dollar expenditures for new pas
senger automobiles.
A 5 per cent increase in urban
sales of general merchandise.
A continued growth III the dol
lar value of American foreign
trade.
American exports highest since
1881.
A decline in railroad deficits.
A rising tendency in security
markets.
Further Improvement in agri-
culture.
The most striking conclusion
warranted by the review of the
years developments, Roper SAID,
'is that we now have a broader
and firmer foundation than in pre-
ceding years on which to build in
1885,"
'In dealing with the paramount
problem of unemployment" Roper
added, 1--WE may take courage and
renewed hope from the steady ex-
pansion of production and distri-
button in the past year. Just as
the forces of depression were Gu
mulative in their effects, so the
forces of recovery operate to eX-
pand activity in an overwhelming
circle"
At the same time, the securities
and exchange commission reported
the dollar value of sales on all
registered securities exchanges IN
November was the largest since 1t
began compiling figures on this
basis in October, 1884. These sales

Atlanta Hard Hit
By Snow, Glaze
Lights Are Out and Coal
Delivery Is Blocked

ATLANTA, Dec. 80. (UP)-
In the deep south, the cold wave
developed into one of the most
severe sleet storms in 80 years
with Atlanta, Ca, as the hub.
Atlanta completely was ice
bound. Street car service was
suspended late Saturday night.
Trees, laden with ice, dropped
heavy limbs across streets, para
Lying traffic.
Trolley, power and telephone
wires trailed across CLASSY streets.
Otis Harrel, 18-year-old negro,
was killed when he came into con-
tact with high tension wire.
Suburbs of Atlanta were with
out electric service and were dark
as night fell. Downtown hotels
distributed candles to guests early
Yesterday. Radio stations, isolat-
ed from trunk wires supplying
chain programs, fell back on
monograph records to sustain
'icicle programs"
Damage to telegraph and tele-
phone communications was eX.
pected to mount into thousands OF
dollars.
The sleet storm, which develop
ed early Saturday and still was IN
progress Sunday night, extended
for so miles in every direction
from Atlanta. Macon, Ga, how
ever, reported no damage and
Florida which suffered a $500, 900
loss in crop damage from freez-
inc weather last week, rejoiced
as the mercury climbed slowly to-
ward temperature levels.

EXPECT RAINS TO COMPLETELY
BOG DOWN FASCIST INVADERS
IN NORTH DURING JANUARY
Meanwhile Ethiopian War
riors Marrying Italian
Communication Lines to
Prevent Advances
By EDWARD w. BEATTlE
Copyright, 1885, United Pres0


Adds ABABA, Dec. 80. (UP)
Small mobile bands of Ethiopian
warriors slashed and harried ltal-
ian communications in the north
last night with the object of pre-
venting further Italian advance
before the January rains" in a
few weeks bog down the Fascist
forces immovably.
An imperial spokesman inform
ed the United Press that there has
not been and is unlikely to be any
mass advance of the main forces
under Ras Mulu Gheta, war min
lister, until the Italians withdraw
to the border of Eritrea.
Rumors which gained wide cir
culation abroad that Mulu Gheta
had moved up and was locked IN
fierce battle with the Italians
were described by Ethiopian Off
Gals as distortions of Emperor
Halle Selassie's telegraphed COM
muniuue of Saturday announcing
the victory at Add abb last Sun
day. -,
Ras Mulu Gheta's army was said
to be remaining between Quoram
and Amba Alagi, in the Lake Ash
anghi district, acting as reinforce
ment for the small guerilla bands
darting in and out of the noun
tains around Makale to make life
uncomfortable for the invaders on
the front line. r4''.','-'~
The success of these tactics was
cited as one reason why the week
end "big battle" rumors were out
of line with reason. A few weeks
ago the Italians were making
frantic preparations for a thrust
from Makale to Amba Alagi. They
planned there to contact the main
BODY of Emperor Halle Selassie's
troops and attempt to defeat 1t
decisively.
In the meantime guerilla war
riors went into action. Ras ST.
youm and Ras Ayeleu split their
big commands into small groups
able to cover long marches swiftly
and with light supplies. The 1tal-
ians woke up to find dozen or
more of these pillaging bands had
penetrated behind their lines.
Many skirmishes and few &C
tual battles have occurred but
there has been no contact be-
tween the main bodies of Italian
and Ethiopian troops. The most
important battle thus far appears
to have occurred at Add abb,
where, the Negus reported Satur-
day, the force of Dejazmatch
Hailu Kebede drove out the Ital-
ians, killing 20 officers and 200
Askaris and taking 100 Eritrean
soldiers prisoner.
The emperor is understood to
be anxious to avoid a pitched bat
tie with the Italians at this time,
believing that nature within a few
weeks will accomplish what his
warriors might be able to do only
at the cost of thousands of lives.
The Negus has been advised to
hold back his main troops a few
weeks longer on the theory that
the Italians will be compelled to
evacuate most or all the occupied
zone when the rains start, making
roads slippery and quagmires i'm
passable for the huge supply trains
needed to support Italy's advance
forces.
This information comes from
thoroughly reliable sources and
appears to correspond with known
facts. A much more sensational
report could be made up from the

HAUPTMANN
Lindberghs Passing Thru
Irish Sea on Way to
Home in Exile
EXPECT TO LAND
AFTER MIDNIGHT

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. 3d.
(UP).-The state board of par
dons which holds the power OF
death over Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann met today to decide when
it will hear his appeal. If Haupt
mann fails to persuade the court
he should receive communication OF
sentence, he has only two slim
hopes to live through the week o.
January 10. He may ask a new
trial on the grounds of newly dis
covered evidence, or may ask Tho
governor to grant him repl.eTe.
LIVERPOOL, Dec. 30.-UP).
The steamship American 1mporter
bringing Colonel and Mrs. Chas.
i. Lindbergh and Their baby sou
to. their self-imposed exile in Eng
land today LACED through the
stormy Irish sea.
The ship wirelessed the United
States Line offices here that it in
tended to dock between midnight
Monday and 8 a. m. tomorrow
(EST). It was the first word from
the ship in "a hours after a stormy
passage acress St. Georges chan.
mel and the Irish sea from Queens
town. 1t was planned for the ship
to communicate with the United
States Line officers so Lindbergh
could be informed regarding ar
rangements for taking him ard
his family from Liverpool to what
ever destination he has selected.
QUEENSTOWN, IRISH FREE
STATE, Dec. 80. .(UP).-The S.
S. American Importer, carrying
Col. and Mrs. Chas. A. Lindbergh
and their son, Jon, to England,
passed this port at 9 p. M, bat
Ting heavy running seas.
Travelling under diplomatic i'm
munity, the Lindberghs and their
son will be whisked past police
Gordon without immigration for
malities at Liverpool, it was re-
ported today.
Police precautions were taken
at Liverpool to prevent the curl
Gus from mobbing the Lindberghs
when they step ashore. Ropes were
set up to hold the curious away
from the landing place on Glad
stone dock. U. s. Consul Phillip
Holland said he was ready to offer
any needed assistance but would
not be at the pier in order 10
avoid dramatizing the arrival,
which would be unpleasant to the
aviator.
More than score Of American,
British, French and Scottish news
papermen and a swarm of pho
tographers assembled to snap the
Lindberghs' picture and lombard
the Colonel with questions regard
ing his voluntary "exile."
The chance that preparations
here were "blind" and that Lind
bergh and his family would slip
off the boat at some intermediate
point was not neglected by news
papers and press associations, who
posted watchers at every likely
port in Ireland and England.
NEW YORK, Dec. 80. = The
Lindbergh kidnap conviction of
Bruno Hauptmann is sweeping to-
ward a climax. The New Jersey
court of pardons will meet today
to fix a date for the hearing of
Hauptmann's plea for clemency.
